MG MGS6 EV AWD Review and Features

Saturday, June 20, 2026

MG Motor has introduced the MGS6 electric SUV in Australia, available in two versions with a 77kWh battery and up to 530 kilometers of range, priced from AUD 49,990 to AUD 56,990. The model targets family buyers with spacious interiors, a comprehensive warranty, and competitive features, aiming to strengthen MG’s foothold in the local EV market.

MG Motor has launched the MGS6 electric SUV in Australia, offering two variants distinguished by drivetrain and performance specifications. Both versions are equipped with a 77kWh battery pack and come with a 10-year or 250,000-kilometer warranty on the vehicle, while the battery itself is covered for seven years or 160,000 kilometers.

The top-tier MGS6 AWD model features dual electric motors delivering 180kW of power and 540Nm of torque, enabling acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. It has an official driving range of 485 kilometers and is priced at AUD 56,990. The rear-wheel drive (RWD) version, marketed as more family and budget-friendly, produces 119kW with 350Nm of torque, accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, and offers a slightly longer range of 530 kilometers. It is retailing for AUD 49,990.

MG markets the MGS6 as a mid-sized SUV aimed at family buyers, with an emphasis on spaciousness and comfort. The vehicle’s design incorporates a low-set battery pack—just 110 millimeters thick—under the floor, which contributes to generous headroom inside the cabin. The interior features materials including vegan leather and suede-style trims, and standard equipment includes heated seats and a heated steering wheel. The SUV also offers additional storage options such as a front trunk (“frunk”) intended to enhance convenience.

On the driving experience, the MGS6 has been described as offering strong performance, particularly in the AWD configuration, though the driving dynamics are noted to be unremarkable and comparable to other dual-motor Chinese electric vehicles currently available. Ride quality is reported to be comfortable, consistent with the vehicle’s family-oriented positioning.

MG has highlighted a feature labeled “Passion Service” accessible via the MGS6’s touchscreen interface, although details on its function remain unclear. Despite inquiries, MG representatives were unable to explain the purpose of this service during a recent presentation.

One notable absence in the vehicle’s design is the lack of a Start/Stop button, requiring owners to manually exit and lock the car to power it down—an aspect that some customers have criticized. The warranty structure, with a longer overall vehicle warranty than battery warranty, has also drawn mixed reactions among prospective buyers and commentators.

Overall, the MG MGS6 positions itself as a competitively priced electric SUV offering a strong feature set and warranty coverage, reinforcing MG’s ongoing effort to expand its presence in the Australian electric vehicle market.
