MG prices new premium electric SUV that is now on sale in Australia

MG Motor Australia has launched its new premium electric SUV, the MGS6, now available for purchase across the country. The model is offered in two variants: the rear-wheel-drive Essence RWD starting at $49,990 drive-away, and the all-wheel-drive Essence AWD priced from $56,990 drive-away. The MGS6 boasts an impressive range of up to 530 kilometres on a single charge, positioning it as a competitive option in the expanding Australian electric vehicle market. Built on SAIC’s Modular Scalable Platform, the MGS6 delivers tailored performance suited to Australian driving conditions. The rear-wheel-drive version features a 180 kW motor with acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, while the all-wheel-drive variant combines front and rear motors for a total output of 266 kW, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. Both models use a 77 kWh nickel-cobalt-manganese battery capable of fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent in just 38 minutes via a 150 kW DC charger. The vehicle’s design merges athletic proportions with a clean, understated aesthetic, complemented by aerodynamic features and 20-inch alloy wheels designed to enhance efficiency. Inside, the MGS6 offers a premium cabin experience with vegan-leather seats, suede upholstery, ambient lighting, and a sophisticated infotainment system featuring a 12.8-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver display, and a Head-Up Display. Advanced connectivity options include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, and an integrated companion app. Safety and convenience are also priorities, with the latest MG Pilot driver assistance suite providing active emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera. The SUV offers practical storage solutions, including 581 litres of rear cargo space and additional front trunk capacity, expanding to 1,690 litres with the rear seats folded down. MG backs the MGS6 with a seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty and extended service options, reinforcing its commitment to customer confidence. With the MGS6 now on sale in seven exterior colours, MG continues to expand its electric vehicle portfolio in Australia, following multiple EV launches this year. The introduction of this premium SUV reflects the brand’s ambition to offer a comprehensive range of electric vehicles that cater to diverse consumer needs, balancing performance, technology, and practicality for both urban and weekend adventures.
