MG IM6 IN-DEPTH REVIEW (2025): WHY BUY A TESLA ANYMORE?

EV Channels Review

The MG IM6 presents a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model Y, offering a more premium interior, striking exterior design, and impressive performance figures. The reviewer highlights the IM6's advanced features, including a vast 28-inch widescreen display, 20-speaker sound system, and a comfortable, well-appointed cabin with vegan leather, heated/ventilated/massage seats, and extensive ambient lighting. Practicality is also a strong suit, with a large 665L boot, additional underfloor storage, and a frunk. The driving experience is praised for its nimbleness, aided by rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension, which also contributes to a comfortable ride. Performance is exceptional, particularly in the AWD 'Launch Edition' with 742 bhp, capable of 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Charging is another highlight, with a peak rate of 396 kW enabling rapid top-ups. While the reviewer doesn't explicitly state a real-world range test, WLTP figures are provided: up to 388 miles for RWD and 313 miles for AWD. The IM6's technology suite, including nine cameras, advanced driver aids, and unique features like 'Nap Mode' and 'Crab Mode', further enhances its appeal. The pricing, starting at £47,995 for the RWD and £52,995 for the AWD Launch Edition, is considered a strong value proposition against its competitors.
