2026 MG IM6 REVIEW: EVEN IM CONFUSED

EV Channels Review

The 2026 MG IM6 presents a compelling package on paper, offering a luxurious interior and blistering performance, particularly in the top-spec AWD Performance trim, which boasts nearly 600kW and achieves 0-100km/h in a remarkable 3.65 seconds. The exterior design is praised, and features like air suspension and rear-wheel steer are unexpected at its price point. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks that detract from the overall experience. The software interface is plagued by typos and poor translation, leading to a confusing user experience, especially with safety systems that are overly aggressive and poorly calibrated for the Australian market. Visibility is also a concern due to the car's design. While the ride is generally comfortable and the seats are excellent, some bumps can be jarring. The magnetic phone mounts are noted as a potential safety hazard. Despite its impressive hardware and luxurious feel, the software and calibration issues prevent the IM6 from being a truly cohesive and polished product, leaving the reviewers confused about its ultimate value proposition.
