2026 MG IM6

• AWD Performance trim delivers up to 579 kW (787 hp) and 800 Nm; 0–62 mph in ~3.5 seconds.

• Longest-range model hits 822 km CLTC with a 100 kWh battery; fast charges in ~18 minutes.

• Interior includes 26.3-inch display, four-wheel steering, AI valet assist, and lidar-based ADAS.

Design and Exterior Architecture

The MG IM6, marketed in many markets as a coupe-SUV, measures 4,904 mm in length, 1,988 mm width, 1,669 mm height, with a 2,950 mm wheelbase.It features a gently sloping roofline that integrates into the rear boomerang-style lighting cluster.The body design achieves aerodynamic efficiency with a drag coefficient reportedly around 0.23 [Unverified].The exterior includes LED headlights, framed side windows, frameless doors, and a panoramic glass roof.

Performance and Powertrain

The IM6 offers two powertrain configurations:

• Long Range RWD uses a single rear motor producing approximately 407 hp (300 kW) and 500 Nm torque, accelerating 0–62 mph in 5.4 seconds with WLTP range up to 388 miles (625 km).
• Performance AWD employs dual motors offering total output of around 767 hp (553 kW) and up to 802 Nm torque, achieving 0–62 mph in about 3.5 seconds, with similar range estimates of 313–388 miles depending on cycle.
• The vehicle uses an 800-volt electrical architecture and supports charging at up to ~392 kW, enabling 10–80% charge in approximately 17 minutes.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The IM6 is equipped with a single 100 kWh lithium-ion NMC battery pack [offer size ~96.5 kWh usable] across both variants.Estimated WLTP range spans from approximately 313 miles (505 km) for the AWD Performance trim to roughly 388 miles (625 km) for the RWD Long Range version.DC fast charging peaks at about 392 kW (800 V silicon carbide components), enabling sub-18-minute charging for a 10–80% cycle.

Features, Technology, and Interior

In order to manage instrumentation and infotainment functions, MG installed a 26.3-inch panoramic display inside the cabin that fills the entire width of the dashboard.Climate and vehicle settings are controlled by a secondary 10.5-inch touchscreen.Advanced technology is integrated into the cabin, such as the NVIDIA Orin N chip for driver assistance systems and the Snapdragon 8295P for media.There are options for heated and cooled seats, wireless charging, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Double-layer laminated windows are used to reduce noise.A 20-speaker sound system, rear-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, and air suspension for adjustable comfort are additional luxuries.

Structural Engineering and Safety

The platform incorporates rear-wheel steering and electronic stability control (IM Lizard Digital Chassis) providing consistent ride quality and handling precision.Standard inclusion of IM AD 3.0 ADAS package adds supervised urban autonomous driving and autonomous parking support—with a single lidar sensor and Nvidia Orin compute chip.A zero-gravity recline function is available for the front passenger seat, transforming into a chaise-lounge configuration for rear passengers [feature basis: IM LS6 facelift; may apply to IM6].

Market Positioning and Availability

MG presents the IM6 as a transition toward premium electrification, positioned against competitors such as Tesla Model Y and Model 3 level EVs.Launch pricing in major markets starts at approximately £47,995 for the 100 kWh Long Range RWD variant, rising to £50,995 for the Performance AWD version, and up to £52,995 for the Launch Edition trim in the UK.

Sales rollout began in Thailand in March 2025 and in Australia around June 2025, with local deliveries following in September 2025.In China the model is sold as IM LS6 under IM Motors, MG’s premium sub-brand, produced in Shanghai since late 2023.
