Approval secured for MG's upcoming electric SUV, the MGS6 EV, to hit the Australian market.
The British automotive brand MG is set to expand its electric lineup with the introduction of the MGS6 EV, a larger electric SUV set to hit markets in Australia and New Zealand. This new model will compete with popular SUV models like the Tesla Model Y, offering a range of trim levels and battery pack sizes to cater to various customer preferences.
According to regulatory documentation, the MGS6 EV will come in four variants, each with its own unique set of features. The trim levels for the MGS6 EV battery packs are expected to be "COM", "LUX", and "FLG", which are likely to represent "Comfort", "Luxury", and "Flagship" respectively. These terms are common automotive shorthand used to categorize model specifications from standard to premium equipment and features.
The MGS6 EV will feature two battery pack sizes: a smaller 62 kWh battery pack with Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, and a larger 77 kWh battery pack with Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM) chemistry. The smaller battery pack is capable of being charged up to 100% for daily use, while the larger battery pack offers a longer driving range.
The MGS6 EV will also be offered in two rear-wheel-drive (RWD) options and one all-wheel-drive (AWD) version. It is expected that the starting price of the MGS6 will be closer to $50,000 when it is announced closer to launch.
In addition to its impressive specifications, the MGS6 EV will also come with MG's industry-leading 10-year/250,000km warranty, providing peace of mind to potential buyers.
MG's new electric model, the MGS6 EV, has received approval documentation in Australia, and more details on the MGS6, including key local specifications and pricing, are likely to be announced later this year.

The upcoming MGS6 EV is expected to use MG's Modular Scalable Platform, which allows for flexible design and customisation across various models. This platform has been used in other MG electric vehicles, such as the MG ZS EV and the MG5 EV.
With the MGS6 EV, MG is continuing to push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology and offering affordable, high-quality options to consumers. Stay tuned for more updates on the MGS6 EV as they become available.
