MG Motor UK IM6 SUV

553kW Performace 100kWh 5dr AWD Auto [2025]

MG has been making great strides in recent years.

We perhaps shouldn’t forget that it’s lucky to be around at all, having survived the carving up of MG Rover twenty years ago.

It was taken over by the Chinese Nanjing Automobile Corporation in 2005, which itself was subsequently acquired by Shanghai-based SAIC Motor two years later.

It’s taken a while for MG to find its feet – but find its feet it most certainly has.

In part, it’s been driven by MG taking full advantage of the opportunities created by the rapidly shifting landscape in the industry, as the drive towards all-electric cars gathers pace.

The MG 4 EV arrived three years ago and was likely to be another average family car with an electric motor. That was until it wowed journalists (us included), raised expectations, and began a price war. With this car, MG proved it was possible to put a reasonably priced electric vehicle on the market without cutting any obvious corners.

MG soon followed with other cars, including the very impressive and gorgeous-looking Cyberster sports car.

And now, MG is ready to take on Tesla. Behold: the IM6 SUV.

Alongside the IM5 saloon, the IM6 is technically part of a sub-brand of MG – but this is supposedly a premium marque, so expectations are already high.

MG is promising advanced technology, long range and luxury – not to mention good looks, inside and out.

Has it succeeded? It has the track record to prove it can – so let’s take one for a ride and find out.
