The MG S6 EV is now in local showrooms, giving the Chinese brand a rival to the top-selling Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7.

It’s available only in Essence trim – traditionally the top trim level in MG’s lineup – but starts at under $50,000 drive-away, undercutting the base Model Y Premium RWD ($58,900 before on-road costs) and Sealion 7 Premium ($54,990 before on-roads).

The mid-size electric SUV features MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, and shares its platform with the smaller MG S5 EV and MG 4. It replaces the Marvel R, which was never built in right-hand drive but which was exported to markets such as Europe.
