MG S6 EV Debuts with Stellar Safety and Family Appeal
London, October 16, 2025 – MG Motor has unveiled its latest electric SUV, the MG S6 EV, which has clinched a prestigious 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, setting a new benchmark for small electric SUVs. Launched in October 2025, this larger sibling to the MG S5 EV combines cutting-edge safety, a high-tech interior, and family-friendly design to compete with heavyweights like the Renault Scenic, Nissan Ariya, and Tesla Model Y. With strong crash test results and modern features, the S6 EV is poised to make waves in Europe, Australia, and potentially India.
Safety First: 5-Star Euro NCAP Rating
The MG S6 EV excelled in Euro NCAP’s 2025 tests, scoring 92% for adult occupant protection, 85% for child safety, 84% for vulnerable road users, and 78% for safety assist systems. Its robust build, featuring over 50% high-tensile steel, multiple airbags, and advanced emergency systems, ensured a stable passenger compartment and top-tier whiplash protection. Standard features like autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane keep assist, driver fatigue detection, and intelligent speed assist bolster its safety credentials, making it one of the safest EVs in its class.
Design: A Bold Evolution of the S5 EV
Visually, the S6 EV echoes the S5’s sleek aesthetic, sporting low-set headlights, narrow triangular daytime running lights (DRLs), and a full-width rear LED light bar for a modern, cohesive look. Its 1908 kg kerb weight suggests a slightly larger footprint, promising enhanced interior space for families—a strength carried over from the S5. The cabin features a digital instrument panel and steering wheel akin to its sibling, with premium touches like ISOFIX mounts, flexible seating, and an airbag cut-off system for child safety.
Performance and Powertrain
While final specs await confirmation, the S6 EV is expected to share the S5’s single rear-mounted motor, delivering 228 bhp and 258 lb ft of torque. Its 0-62 mph time is likely around 6.5 seconds, marginally slower than the S5’s 6.3 seconds due to added weight. Available in two-wheel-drive (4×2) and possibly four-wheel-drive (4×4) variants, it offers versatility for urban and suburban drivers. The battery capacity remains undisclosed, but it’s anticipated to compete with rivals’ 300+ mile ranges, surpassing the S5’s 62.1 kWh pack (288 miles).
Competitive Positioning and Pricing
Priced between the S5 EV (£28,745) and the premium MG IM6 (£47,995), the S6 EV targets value-conscious families seeking safety and tech without breaking the bank. Its positioning pits it against the Renault Scenic, Nissan Ariya, and Tesla Model Y, with a focus on affordability and practicality. The inclusion of standard features like frontal/side airbags, advanced emergency braking, and lane assist enhances its appeal in the crowded small SUV market.
Why the MG S6 EV Stands Out
The S6 EV’s blend of top-tier safety, spacious design, and competitive pricing makes it a compelling choice for urban families and eco-conscious drivers. Its 5-star Euro NCAP rating surpasses many peers, while its tech-heavy interior and potential for extended range address key buyer concerns. As MG expands its electric lineup, the S6 EV strengthens its foothold in Europe and Australia, with potential to tap India’s growing EV market, where safety and affordability are paramount.
