2025 MG IM6 REVIEW - MG'S NEW SUV THAT NO ONE SAW COMING!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 MG IM6 is presented as a significant step forward for MG, aiming to compete directly with established players like the Tesla Model Y. The reviewer highlights its impressive 100 kWh battery, offering a substantial WLTP range of up to 388 miles for the Long Range model. The 800-volt architecture enabling rapid charging (10-80% in 17 minutes) is a standout feature, as is the high level of standard equipment across all trims. The interior is praised for its spaciousness and comfort, particularly for families, with a flat floor and good rear seat accommodation. However, the reviewer criticizes the car's styling as bland and generic, and expresses strong reservations about the excessive reliance on touchscreens for controls, especially the climate settings and ADAS adjustments, which require taking eyes off the road. Rearward visibility is deemed 'hopeless' due to the small rear window, necessitating the use of a camera feed displayed on the central screen, a solution the reviewer finds suboptimal. While the Long Range RWD model is recommended for its balance of range, efficiency, and driving comfort, the reviewer questions the necessity of the high-performance dual-motor variant, suggesting it might be a step too far for the brand's typical market. Overall, the IM6 is seen as a worthy contender, offering good value and practicality, but marred by design choices regarding visibility and interface.
