MG'S IM5 & IM6 EVS SHOCK WITH $60,990 STARTING PRICE IN AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Ludicrous Feed Live crew discusses the surprising pricing of MG's new IM5 sedan and IM6 SUV, launching in Australia at a competitive $60,990. This price point significantly undercuts initial expectations, making it a compelling option against established EVs like the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. The hosts express their astonishment at the aggressive pricing strategy, with Roland admitting he was $40,000 off his estimate. The discussion highlights the vehicles' premium interior, 800-volt architecture on higher trims, and impressive WLTP range figures (up to 655 km for the Platinum variant). While the base model offers a 400-volt system, it's still considered adequate for the Australian charging network. The IM5 and IM6 are noted for their size, comparable to larger sedans like the Tesla Model S, and features like bidirectional steering. The hosts are eager to test drive these new offerings, anticipating they could be strong contenders in the Australian EV market.
