JAKARTA The latest electric SUV from MG, the MG S6 EV, was accidentally revealed before its official launch. The leak came from the results of the Euro NCAP hit test, which showed the full shape of the car for the first time.
Interestingly, before being officially announced, the MG S6 EV had actually scored a brilliant achievement by obtaining a five-star safety rating from the European test institute.
In the test results, the MG S6 EV scored 92 percent for adult passenger protection. Then 85 percent for children, 84 percent for vulnerable road users, and 78 percent for safety assistance systems.
This figure places it parallel to several top electric SUVs in the global market. Viewably, the MG S6 EV features an evolved design of the MG S5 EV.
Changes can be seen in the slimmer headlights, bumpers with a new shape, and the back which now appears more assertive with the back light elongated and chrom accents under the bumper.
This touch gives a modern impression while strengthening the character of the electric SUV sporty. Meanwhile, the interior has not been fully revealed.
However, from the results of the hit test, it can be seen that this car is already using a new steering wheel and a full digital instrument panel, while the central screen is expected to be large as used in the MG S5 EV.
UK MG's Head of Products and Planning, David totals that the company will continue to expand its product lineup to reach new segments. We need to explore new segments to grow, including electric SUVs in segment C which will be present in the coming years," he said, as reported by Auto Express, Thursday, October 16.
The MG S6 EV will be positioned between the MG S5 EV and the IM6 SUV, as well as competing with models such as Renault Scenic, Volkswagen ID.4, and Nissan Ariya. The car is believed to be using the Modular Scalable Platform (MSP) platform which is also used on the MG4 and S5 EV, not the 800-volt architecture as in the IM6.
Although there is no official information about the price yet, MG promises to maintain its reputation as a brand with competitive prices and the best value in its class. In comparison, Renault Scenic is sold starting at around 1:32,000, or Rp707 million, while Volkswagen ID.4 is priced from ~34,000 or Rp751 million.
The MG S6 EV is scheduled to be available for bookings by the end of November 2025. With a fresh design, modern features, and high safety performance, the MG appears ready to present serious challengers in the global medium-electric SUV segment.
