Summary
The MG S6 EV is a medium-large electric SUV, which sits above the smaller MG S5 EV and is similar in size to the MG HS, which is a petrol and plug-in hybrid SUV. It was launched in late 2025.
The S6 EV is built on the same basic platform as the MG S5 EV and the MG 4 hatchback, and is offered with a 77kWh battery. That gives it an official driving range of 329 miles in the rear-wheel drive version, and 301 miles in the higher-performance, all-wheel drive version.
As with most MG models, the S6 EV is available in a choice of trim levels – SE (lower spec) and Trophy (higher spec). Both are very well equipped and priced competitively, although only the Trophy is available with all-wheel drive.
The cabin follows the modern trend for a large central touchscreen that controls most functions, but MG has retained physical controls for at least some of the key functions that drivers use on the move, like climate control and volume. The touchscreen operating system is also much improved on earlier MG models, and much better than on the similarly priced MG IM5 and IM6 executive models.
The European media launch took place in the UK in November 2025, so we will assemble the first media reviews in coming weeks. Our editor, Stuart Masson, attended the launch and was very impressed:
“The S6 EV is yet another step forward for MG, and it looks like it will be a hugely competitive car in the booming family electric SUV market. Build quality is good and equipment levels are excellent, while rear cabin space is huge and the boot is also more than large enough for most household needs. There’s even a decent-sized frunk for storing cables and other gear under the bonnet, which is something many brands fail to achieve.
“While it’s not particularly exciting to drive, that’s unlikely to be a priority for lots of families, and even then, the S6 is better than most electric SUVs. Overall, you have to wonder why you’d pay a lot more to buy a similar vehicle from other brands.”
As of February 2026, the MG S6 EV holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 78%. It achieves top marks for its five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, and it’s covered by MG’s excellent seven-year new car warranty. Media review scores have only been average so far, but this may change as more titles review the S6 in depth.

“The MG S6 is another hit, even better than the smaller S5 launched earlier this year. For the same money, the S6 is a better car than MG’s own IM6 – the infotainment system is much easier to use, and it’s a more practical vehicle. It’s not as fast, but it’s still more than fast enough for most people’s needs.”

“It’s a bit like a Black Friday deal – it’s undeniably a good price, but if you think about what you need rather than what you want, you might be able to save a bit more cash still.”

“It drives well, has impressive levels of standard kit, and seems efficient. However, like a lot of Chinese rivals, we found the ADAS too overpowering, and some of the interior finishes and switchgear feel noticeably cheaper than rivals.”

“MG has added another perfectly adequate electric SUV to its line-up. The S6 is worth a look if space, tech and punchy performance are on your wish list. It’s incredibly competent, and ideal for moving family and flotsam, in a safe, practical package.”

“The MG S6 EV isn’t trying to reinvent the electric car—it’s trying to make one that fits neatly into normal life. And on that front, it succeeds. It offers strong value, a useful real-world range, plenty of kit and MG’s excellent warranty coverage.”

“The MG S6 is an electric C-segment SUV – as is the existing MG S5. The MG S6 is a decent car overall, but we’re struggling to see how the higher price is justified primarily by a longer body, a larger boot, a slightly longer range and some extra equipment.”

“It might not have much wow factor from the outside but the MG S6 EV is a very solid all-rounder. It’s not quite the bargain you might expect but thanks to a pleasant, spacious interior and complemented by a decent driving range, it should be on your shortlist.”

“In real world testing, we weren’t too impressed with its range or efficiency. What’s more, there are some excellent rivals for less money and almost as much space, with some offering more range.”

“MG’s largest electric SUV mixes huge cabin space, calm refinement and generous equipment with competitive pricing. The Trophy Long Range impresses most, even if charging speeds and ride polish still need work.”

“The S6’s problem, strangely, is the price. At the time of writing MG doesn’t get subsidies like Europeans, and so it finds itself undercut by rivals that go as far on a charge and are just as good on the road.”

As of February 2026, the MG S6 EV has not been assessed by Green NCAP.
The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the S6 EV is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

Warranty rating
New car warranty information for the MG S6 EV
| Overall rating | A | 96% |
| New car warranty duration | 7 years |
| New car warranty mileage | 80,000 miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 8 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | 100,000 miles |
MG’s new car warranty is one of the best in the new car market, and better than pretty much any rival brands in a similar price bracket to the MG S6 EV.
The duration is seven years, with a limit of 80,000 miles. In addition, battery components benefit from an additional eight-year/100,000-mile warranty. This is pretty much standard for all new EVs on sale in the UK, but is an extra reassurance that petrol and diesel cars don’t get.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
Recalls
Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the MG S6 EV
As of February 2026, we are not aware of any DVSA vehicle safety recalls affecting the MG S6 EV. However, recall information is updated very regularly, so this may have changed.
You can check to see if your car has any outstanding recalls by visiting the DVLA website or contacting your local MG dealer.
