MGS6 EV FIRST UK DRIVE: IS THIS THE MG THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING?

EV Channels Review

The MG S6 EV emerges as a strong contender in the electric SUV market, particularly impressing with its spacious interior, premium-feel materials like faux suede, and a generous boot capacity of 674 litres. The reviewer highlights the intuitive, albeit simple, infotainment system and the welcome return of physical climate and volume controls. The Trophy trim, despite its £3,000 premium, is recommended for its luxurious additions, including a panoramic roof and enhanced seating, making the car feel significantly more premium for its price point (just under £41,000 for the recommended single-motor Trophy). The driving experience is described as smooth and reassuring, with strong brakes and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. However, the reviewer notes that the S6 EV feels large rather than agile, and the 144 kW DC charging speed is considered somewhat slow by current standards. The biggest question mark remains the availability and impact of government grants, which could significantly affect its competitiveness against rivals like the Citroen EC5 Airross.
