THE MG S6 | AN HONEST FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This first-drive review of the MG S6 Trophy Long Range AWD highlights its significant step up in perceived quality and refinement, positioning it as a more premium offering than previous MG models. The reviewer praises the spacious interior, generous boot and frunk capacity, and the inclusion of physical controls for climate and volume, alongside a responsive infotainment system and a clear driver display. The customisable driver assistance systems (MG Pilot Custom) are also noted as a positive implementation. However, the review points out that the ride comfort suffers on rough surfaces, with a noticeable harshness over potholes, potentially exacerbated by the 20-inch wheels. Real-world efficiency is significantly impacted by cold weather, falling short of claimed figures, though the reviewer notes it's not terrible under the test conditions. The reviewer concludes that while not a dynamically thrilling car, the S6 is a highly competitive all-rounder, particularly appealing for its practicality and value, though the luxury car tax threshold at the higher trims is a notable drawback.
