MG S6 EV: Mid-Size Sedan — Specs, Range and Trims

MG S6 EV: Mid-Size Sedan With Customisable ADAS

The MG S6 EV fills the gap between the MG4 EV hatchback and the premium MG IM5 sedan: a mid-size electric sedan with 520 km WLTP range, MG Pilot Custom ADAS (where you can tailor lane-keeping sensitivity and cruise behaviour), and the usual 7-year warranty. Launched in 2026, it targets buyers who want sedan space and comfort without IM5-level pricing. At £37,995 for the SE Long Range, it undercuts the Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, and Volkswagen ID.7.

What I like about the S6 EV is the MG Pilot Custom suite. Most ADAS systems feel one-size-fits-all; the S6 lets you dial back lane-keep aggression or adjust following distance. On a long motorway run, I tuned it to match my driving style—fewer false interventions, more natural behaviour. The Trophy trim adds a 1.96 m² panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, 11-speaker audio, and a 360-degree camera. For a family sedan, the 674-litre boot plus 124-litre frunk is plenty.

Variants: SE, Trophy, and Trophy Dual Motor

The SE Long Range (£37,995) offers 180 kW, 520 km WLTP, and rear-wheel drive. The Trophy Long Range (£40,995) adds the sunroof, premium seats, 360-degree camera, and MG Pilot Custom. The Trophy Dual Motor (£43,995) brings dual motors, 266 kW, 5.1-second acceleration, and 485 km WLTP.

Real-world range: Long Range variants ~400–450 km, Dual Motor ~380–420 km. The S6 doesn’t use 800V like the IM5 or IM6, so charging stops are a bit longer—acceptable for most buyers.

Interior, Tech, and MG Pilot Custom

The cabin centres on a 12.8-inch touchscreen and 10.25-inch instrument cluster; Trophy models add a head-up display. MG OS 2.0 supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated apps (Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube on Trophy), and OTA updates. MG Pilot Custom lets you adjust adaptive cruise following distance, lane-keep sensitivity, and AEB intervention timing. It’s a genuine differentiator—worth exploring during a test drive.

What Went Wrong—And How I Fixed It

On a test drive, the default lane-keep setting felt overly eager, nudging the steering when I crossed a faded line. Instead of turning it off entirely, I used MG Pilot Custom to reduce sensitivity. The system remained useful on clear motorways but stopped interfering on narrower roads. If you’ve dismissed ADAS as too intrusive before, the S6’s customisation might change your mind.

MG S6 EV vs Competitors

Against the Tesla Model 3, the S6 EV undercuts on price and offers the 7-year warranty and customisable ADAS. Tesla brings Supercharger access and brand appeal. Against the BYD Seal and VW ID.7, similar trade-offs—more value and warranty from MG, more brand recognition from the others. For more context, see our MG Electric Cars guide and BYD Seal guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the real-world range of the MG S6 EV?

Long Range variants typically achieve 400–450 km in mixed driving; the Dual Motor 380–420 km. Cold weather reduces these by roughly 15–25%. Preconditioning while plugged in helps in winter.

How fast does the MG S6 EV charge?

DC fast charging runs up to 150 kW, with 10–80% in about 38 minutes. AC charging is 11 kW. The S6 doesn’t have 800V; charging is competitive but not class-leading.

What is MG Pilot Custom?

MG Pilot Custom lets you personalise ADAS behaviour: adaptive cruise following distance, lane-keep sensitivity, and automatic emergency braking intervention timing. It’s designed so the system matches your preferences rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Is the MG S6 EV available in Europe?

The S6 EV launched in 2026 across major European markets. MG operates in 34 countries. Check your local MG dealer for availability and test drives.
