Has Model Y Been Dethroned?! MG S6 EV 2026 Review

Finally, MG has a genuine rival to the ultra popular Tesla Model Y! The MG S6 EV that went on sale in Europe and the UK last year has arrived in Australia with a stunning $49,990 driveaway price that’s sure to turn some heads. With over 500km driving range in Essence RWD guise, the tested Essence AWD falls to 485km but benefits from greater poise and 5.1sec 0-100km/h sprint. With plenty of equipment, MG wants to hit the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5 and Geely EX5 where it hurts. Chasing Cars road test editor John Law takes the electric S6 on an extended test and finds plenty to like. Sure, it isn’t perfect, but with a strong warranty and impressive stats for the price, it’s a hard option to ignore for your next family SUV.
