Overview

The S6 EV was unintentionally revealed by Euro NCAP crash test photos in October 2025. [1]

It is a mid-size electric crossover SUV that competes with cars such as the Škoda Enyaq, Volkswagen ID.4, Renault Scenic E-Tech, and Nissan Ariya. It uses the same Modular Scalable Platform that underpins the MG4 and the MGS5 EV. [2] [3]

The S6 EV is related to the SAIC H5 at its core structure. However the design language, interior, and powertrain are all unique to the S6 EV. It is the fourth MG model to use the MSP platform after the S5 EV, the MG4, and the MG Cyberster. [4]

Design and features

The interior of the S6 EV uses a 12.8-inch central touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard. Cooled wireless phone chargers are available on higher models. Physical buttons for the volume and climate control are placed below the central touchscreen. The grille of the S6 EV is inspired by the one used by the Cyberster, daytime running lights, and a polished silver MG badge at the front. The headlights are also inspired by that of the Cyberster. [5]

Powertrain and chassis

The S6 EV is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms. [1] Rear-wheel-drive models produce 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel-drive models produce 356 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Regardless of layout, all S6 EVs use a 77 kWh nickel-manganese cobalt battery. Rear-wheel drive models get a range of 530 kilometres (329 mi). All-wheel-drive models get a range of 485 kilometres (301 mi). [6]

The MacPherson struts are used for the front suspension. A multilink setup is used for the rear. [3]

Markets

Australia

The S6 received approval by the Australian Government in May 2025. [7] The S6 EV is expected to launch in Australia in the first half of 2026. As with the UK version of the S6 EV, it will be available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. [8]

Ireland

As with Australia, the S6 EV is also set to debut in Ireland in 2026. It was confirmed by MG Motor Ireland itself in November 2025. [9]

United Kingdom

The UK was the first market to receive the S6 EV. The SE Long Range trim costs £37,995, the Trophy Long Range trim costs £40,995, and the Trophy Dual Motor trim costs £43,995. It went on sale in the United Kingdom in November of 2025 as the third EV of the brand after the MG IM5 and MG IM6, both of which are rebadged models from IM Motors. [10]
