MG Motor Australia has expanded its growing electric vehicle line-up with the launch of the new MGS6 EV, a mid-size electric SUV positioned above the smaller MGS5 EV and MG4 hatchback.

The new model arrives in two variants, with the rear-wheel-drive MGS6 EV Essence priced from $49,990 drive-away, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version starts from $56,990 drive-away.

The MGS6 EV becomes MG’s third fully electric launch in Australia during 2026 and continues the company’s push into higher-volume SUV segments as competition intensifies among affordable and mid-priced EV brands.

Dimensionally, the SUV measures 4708mm long, 1912mm wide and 1664mm tall, placing it into the heart of Australia’s popular medium SUV category alongside vehicles such as the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Power outputs differ significantly between variants. The rear-wheel-drive model produces 180kW, while the all-wheel-drive version combines two electric motors for a total output of 266kW. MG claims the flagship AWD model can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds, compared with 7.3 seconds for the RWD version.

Claimed driving range under WLTP testing stands at 530km for the rear-wheel-drive model and 485km for the all-wheel-drive variant. MG says both versions support DC fast charging at up to 144kW, allowing a claimed 10-80 per cent recharge in 38 minutes using a compatible 150kW charger.

The SUV also includes a heat pump, adjustable regenerative braking and one-pedal driving functionality as standard.

Inside, the MGS6 EV adopts a dual-screen dashboard layout featuring a 12.8-inch central touchscreen and 10.25-inch digital instrument display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 50W wireless phone charger and voice-control functionality are included.

Other equipment includes heated and ventilated front seats, heated outer rear seats, ambient lighting and an 11-speaker audio system with subwoofer.

Storage capacity includes a 581-litre rear boot, plus a front storage compartment ranging from 67 litres in AWD models to 86 litres in rear-wheel-drive variants. Total cargo capacity expands to 1690 litres with the rear seats folded.

MG says the MGS6 EV also offers a 1500kg braked towing capacity.

Safety systems include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, autonomous emergency braking and a 360-degree camera system.

The MGS6 EV is available in Australian dealerships from today and is covered by MG’s seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, alongside an extended service-activated warranty program of up to 10 years or 250,000km.
