The Future of Premium EVs Is Coming: Meet the MG IM6 Electric SUV at Tynan MG

The evolution of electric mobility continues—and Tynan MG is proud to be at the forefront with the upcoming launch of MG’s new premium electric SUV, the IM6. Scheduled to arrive in MG Australia showrooms mid-year, the IM6, along with its sibling the IM5, will introduce Aussie drivers to the next generation of intelligent electric vehicles under the IM Presented by MG Motor banner.

But while Australia eagerly awaits the IM6’s debut, a facelifted version of the MG IM6 has already been revealed in China, showcasing bold styling and cutting-edge technology that sets a new benchmark in the premium EV segment.

Facelifted MG IM6: Refined Design, Intelligent Power

The new MG IM6 electric SUV, previously known as the LS6 in China, is a product of the SAIC Motor and Alibaba joint venture, aimed at delivering tech-driven, high-performance electric vehicles for a global audience.

Externally, the facelift introduces:

• A striking new front fascia with vertical LED headlight assemblies
• Signature sweeping daytime running lights
• A sleek, rounded body with premium design elements reminiscent of luxury SUVs like the Aston Martin DBX

This refined design complements MG’s modern design language, offering sleek aesthetics, aerodynamic efficiency, and premium appeal.

Electric Powertrain Options: Versatility Meets Performance

Although final specifications for the Australian market are still under wraps, the facelifted MG IM6 in China is offered with an impressive array of electric and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrains:

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Options:

• 245kW RWD with LFP battery
• 300kW RWD with NMC battery
• 500kW AWD dual-motor with NMC battery (previously 572kW)

Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) Variant:

• 114kW turbocharged petrol engine acting as a generator (not powering wheels)
• Combined with a 230kW rear-mounted electric motor

While it's unclear if the EREV version will reach Tynan MG and Australian showrooms, its presence shows MG’s commitment to versatile EV technologies.

What to Expect from the MG IM6 in Australia

For Australian customers, MG has confirmed initial IM6 variants will include:

• A 75kWh battery with 217kW/450Nm motor delivering up to 505km range (NEDC)
