Australian launch timing

Key takeaways for buyers
The 2026 MG S6 EV shapes up as one of the most compelling new electric SUVs in its class, especially for buyers chasing long range and substantial value. Its 77kWh RWD model offers a standout 529km WLTP range, while the interior is practical and thoughtfully designed, with physical buttons returning by customer demand. Its family-friendly quotient is high too with plenty of storage, up to 674L of boot space, and five-star Euro NCAP result with a broad suite of driver aids.
However, Australian pricing remains unknown, and the base 62.2kWh variant may offer less performance and range than the headline figures suggest. MG’s ride and refinement have also been hit-and-miss in past models, so a test drive will be important. Still, for families wanting space, range and tech without premium-brand pricing, the MG S6 EV is shaping up to be a very strong contender.
