The first-generation MG6 was initially announced in April 2009 at the Shanghai Auto Show, as a five-door GT/fastback,[1] and in October 2010 at Shanghai Expo, as a four-door notchback saloon model.[2] It is derived from the Roewe 550, hence being distantly related to the Rover 75, sharing its front subframe.[3]

The five-door fastback/hatchback, known as the MG6 GT, went on sale in the United Kingdom in May 2011,[4] the saloon, known as the MG6 Magnette, went on sale on 16 July 2011.[5] A diesel model joined the range at the end of 2012. The first Thai assembled car rolled off the assembly line on 4 June 2014,[6] with a potential for 5,000 cars per annum.[7]

The MG6 sold below expectations in the United Kingdom, eventually being dropped from the range there in 2016, whilst continuing in other markets.

History

[edit]

Like the Roewe 550, some of the development and styling of the MG6 was done at the SAIC UK Technical Centre although the main design and development contract was given to EDAG: Shanghai. It was originally designed as a Roewe badged model (IP22 Project) but, as SAIC took control of Nanjing Auto, owners of the MG brand, the nearly finished vehicle went through a facelift and came out as the first Chinese MG car.

The MG6 commenced production in China in 2010, and for a brief period in partially knock down form at Longbridge, United Kingdom, from 13 April 2011.[8][9] From 2013, the MG 3 supermini also saw some limited final assembly at the same factory until 2016.[10]

Following the hatchback 6 GT, the notchback saloon version debuted in June 2011, carrying the Magnette name, which was used by MG during the 1950s to 1960s for its saloon cars, and also in the 1930s for the MG K-type. The MG6 Magnette is quite different from the MG6 GT GT/fastback, as it has a boot rather than a hatchback.

Models

In the United Kingdom, the car was initially launched as the MG6, but on release to the public in May 2011 as the fastback model, was announced as the MG6 GT.[11] For the MG6 GT, three levels of trim are available with increasing levels of equipment and trim: S, SE and TSE.

These all share the same mechanical specification, although the TSE gains 18" wheels over the standard 17".

The launch models were available with the petrol TCI-Tech 1.8-litre engine, available in two states of tune, 133 bhp (99 kW; 135 PS) and 158 bhp (118 kW; 160 PS) (with turbo), the latter being available from launch in China and as the only engine option at launch in the United Kingdom.[12]

All models are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, front MacPherson strut suspension and multi-link rear suspension.[13] The 1.8 L turbo can accelerate to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds, has an official combined fuel consumption of 35.6 mpg and a CO2 figure of 184 g/km.

Top speed is restricted to 120 mph (193 km/h) to allow the car to be a rated a lower insurance bracket.[14] Minor improvements to the MG6 in April 2012 resulted in fuel economy figure of 37.7 mpg (official combined) and reducing CO2 down to 174 g/km.[15]

A 1.9-litre diesel DTi Tech engine joined the range at the end of 2012, producing 148 bhp (110 kW; 150 PS) and 350 N⋅m (258 lbf⋅ft) and producing CO2 emissions of 139 g/km.[16] The diesel engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, and the steering has changed to an electro hydraulic-powered system.[17]

Due to the introduction and the success of the MG6 in the British Touring Car Championship, MG announced a special edition for the United Kingdom, this being the MG6 BTCC Special Edition.[18] The BTCC Special Edition was based on the SE model.

It came with a matt black roof (vinyl wrap), matt black 18-inch MG6 TSE alloy wheels, black-gloss sills, black-gloss door mirror covers, black-gloss lower-front air dam and rear spoiler. The front grille has a BTCC badge and a distinctive multi-coloured MG KX Momentum Racing team decal is on the bonnet extension panel above the front grille, on the fastback boot lid and on the front doors and wings just behind the chrome wing vent.

The BTCC Special Edition was only available in union blue or arctic white. BTCC Edition graphics are also highlighted on the sills and also inside the car on the passenger facia. In July 2014, the diesel engine was updated, reducing its CO2 emissions to 129 g/km.[19] The MG6 was facelifted for April 2015, receiving a range of exterior and interior changes including a 75 kg (165 lb) reduction in weight. It was unveiled at the Chengdu Motor Show in August 2014.[20]

In the United Kingdom, the main mechanical changes comprised an improvement in efficiency for the diesel model, and the withdrawal of the petrol version. The facelifted model can be identified by its new lights and bumpers, front and rear, and a substantially updated interior, including a new console and electronic parking brake.[21] Models in other markets retained two versions of the 1.8-litre petrol engine.

Sales

[edit]

Initial sales in 2011 of the MG6 were slow in the United Kingdom, with only fifteen units in October 2011, only seven registrations for the MG brand as a whole were recorded in November (of which three were presumably TF roadsters).[24][25] Some cited lack of advertising and low perceived quality as problematic, while the absence of a diesel and an estate option were also mooted.[25][26]

In December 2011, car rental company Avis UK Ltd announced that it would be running one hundred MG6 GT and Magnette in its rental fleet, and took delivery of these cars.[27] For 2012, MG sold 782 cars in the United Kingdom.[28] Initial production was projected in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 per annum, although these volumes were never achieved, and in 2016, MG Motor UK withdrew the MG6 from sale in the United Kingdom.[29]

Reviews

[edit]
  • The AA [30]
    Likes: Sharp handling and good ride, high standard specification, great value for money, good space efficiency.
    Gripes: Noisy engine when extended, some low-quality cabin materials, no automatic option.
  • Autocar [31]
    'The MG6 is now a greener proposition than ever before, but its bland cabin aesthetics are still letting the side down.'
  • Auto Express [32]
    For: Involving handling, performance, standard kit levels.
    Against: Limited engine choice, poor quality interior, awkward looks.
  • Auto Trader [33]
    'Despite Chinese ownership, the MG 6 is designed and built at Longbridge to take on family [cars]. It's a decent drive, with sharp handling, and there's loads of interior space. Some serious flaws, though.'
  • Evo [34][35]
    [+] One of the best in its class to drive, well priced.
    [-] Don't expect premium feel at these prices, gutless [petrol] engine and low-rent cabin.
  • MSN Cars [36]
    Positives: ride and handling, equipment, practicality, styling and price.
    Negatives: interior plastics [and] economy.

In November 2016, the second generation was unveiled at Nanjing Wanchi race track. The second-generation MG6 incorporates MG's new design language, "Emotional Dynamism", which was launched with MG's second SUV, the MG ZS in 2016. The new grille which is an important part of MG's new design language is called 'Star Rider'.[37][38]

The MG6 shares a platform with the sedan Roewe i6, and just like the Roewe ei6, an eMG6 plug-in hybrid version is also available.[39]

MG showed off a 350 horsepower (260 kW; 350 PS) concept as the MG6 XPower at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2019, bringing back the sports sub-brand from the early 2000s. The company said the car would retail at €100,000 if there was sufficient interest.[40]

eMG6 PHEV

[edit]

The eMG6 PHEV is the plug-in hybrid version of the second-generation MG6.[41] The plug-in hybrid vehicle gets a combination of 1.5-litre turbocharged engine and an electric motor for a combined power output of 228 hp (170 kW; 231 PS) and 622 N⋅m (459 lb⋅ft; 63.4 kg⋅m) of torque. The eMG6 PHEV consumes 1.5 L/100 km (190 mpg‑imp; 160 mpg‑US) and has a range of 53 km (33 mi) in pure electric mode. The hybrid system of the eMG6 PHEV is supported by a 9.1 kWh IP67-rated battery and meets the UL2580 standard of United States.[42] Available exterior colours for the eMG6 PHEV include Flame Red, Carbon Ash, and Pearlescent White. The solo interior colour option is known as Blazing Yellow.[43] The eMG6's average fuel consumption is rated at 1.1 litres per 100 kilometres or 213 US MPG. This figure is also shared with another derivative of the MG 6, the MG 6 X-Power. The solo trim for the eMG6 is known as 500PHEV.

2020 facelift

[edit]

In July 2020, the second-generation MG6 received a facelift marketed as the third-generation MG6 by SAIC MG. While marketed as a super wide-body sedan, the width is actually the same as the pre-facelift model with the redesigned front and rear end resulted in a 9 mm (0.4 in) length growth instead. The updated MG6 continues to be powered by a 1.5-litre turbo engine producing a maximum power of 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and a peak torque of 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29.1 kg⋅m), which is an increase of 12 PS (12 hp; 8.8 kW) and 35 N⋅m (25.8 lb⋅ft; 3.57 kg⋅m), respectively, compared to the outgoing model. In terms of transmission, MG6 facelift is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox and a 6-speed manual transmission for 2020 only. The 2020 MG6 was launched in China on 10 July.[44] Combined fuel consumption for the MG 6 is rated at 6.2 litres per 100 kilometres or 37.9 US MPG. This figure is also shared with its sporty derivative, the MG 6 Pro. Only one trim level is available, the 330TGI.

MG6 X-Power

[edit]

The MG6 X-Power is the performance variant of the MG6. On 18 July 2021, MG declared the price of the X-Power variant to be 199,980 yuan (about US$30,000) in China. Consumers can pay 9.9 yuan to preorder the vehicle, and production is limited to 100 per month. As for the powertrain, the MG6 X-Power has a straight-4 1.5-litre turbo-charged engine with an electric motor with combined outputs of 300 hp (220 kW; 300 PS) and 480 N⋅m (354 lb⋅ft; 48.9 kg⋅m) of torque, sending its power to the front wheels. It is paired to a 10 speed automated manual gearbox. The 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time is 6 seconds, according to MG.[45]

The MG6 X-Power is still available for purchase on China's MG website. Exterior colour choices are Qi Ji Green, Flame Red, Carbon Gray, and Obsidian Black. The standard interior is a two-toned textured interior consisting of a charcoal black base with green accent stitching and charcoal black sporty leather bucket seats with an X-Power logo stitched into the front lower seat area.[46]

2021 facelift (MG6 Pro)

[edit]

The MG6 received another facelift for the 2021 model year called the MG6 Pro. The MG6 Pro started presales in July 2021. Design wise, the MG6 Pro features a redesigned front end with slimmer headlamps and a larger grille in the same style as the second generation MG 5 for a more aggressive look. The updated model is powered by a 1.5-litre SGE-LFV turbo engine developing a maximum power output of 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29.1 kg⋅m). Gearbox is a 7-speed, wet-style, dual-clutch transmission.[47] Available exterior colours are known as Bubble Orange, Thunder Gray, Obsidian Black, Pearl White, and Flame Red. Two Interior colours are available known as King Gray and Punk Black.[48] The Pro is officially priced at 115,800 yuan for the Deluxe trim. Trophy trim pricing is between 123,800 and 139,800 yuan. Two tone white and black leather bucket seats with orange stitching along with an MG logo stitched into the front headrests are available as standard.

MG6 X-Line

[edit]

The MG 6 was given another special model called the X-Line. It was launched at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show for the 2023 model year. The new features include a new bumper for a sportier feel while retaining the slimmer headlamps. Additional foglights were added and the large grille is retained from the MG 6 Pro. The rear taillights are LED and sport a black design while the rear bumper gets an added rear diffuser with oval exhaust tips. The taillight style also forms an X shape when illuminated. The X-Line still runs on the same 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine and 7 speed dual clutch automatic gearbox as standard.[49]

Three exterior colour choices are available as standard: Pearlescent white, Shark Gray, and Pearlescent Black. The X-Line also gets one interior trim: black leather interior and bucket seats with green stitching and an X-Line logo stitched into the front headrests. The X-Line is priced at 123,800 yuan.
