Summary
- The MG S6 EV earned a five-star Euro NCAP rating, scoring 92% for adult occupant protection.
- The S6 is positioned between the S5 and the IM6, offering more interior space than the S5.
MG’s larger S6 EV has appeared in Euro NCAP’s latest crash-test batch ahead of its official reveal — and it’s off to a strong start, earning a full five-star rating.
Photos released by the safety body show a car that’s clearly a stretched relative of the S5: the same low-set headlights and narrow triangular daytime running lights up front, plus a full-width light bar at the rear. Inside the shots hint at a familiar layout too, with a digital instrument panel and steering wheel that echo the smaller model.
What we know so far
- Five-star Euro NCAP result — the S6 scored 92% for adult occupant protection and 85% for child protection.
- Kerb weight: listed at 1,908 kg.
- Drivetrain: confirmed two-wheel drive, most likely a single rear-mounted motor like the S5.
- Possible performance: if it uses the S5’s motor (228 bhp / 258 lb ft) the S6 should be quick, but its added mass means a slower 0–62 mph time than the S5’s 6.3 seconds.
- Space: the S6’s longer body should deliver noticeably more interior room than the S5.
- Range & batteries: MG hasn’t confirmed pack size for the S6 yet — the S5’s 62.1 kWh battery yields about 288 miles, while many rivals offer >300 miles, so range is an open question.
- Positioning: the S6 is expected to sit between the S5 (from £28,745) and the new IM6 (from £47,995) in MG’s lineup.
Bottom line
The Euro NCAP photos and five-star result give the S6 credibility before MG lifts the curtain — it looks like a practical, safety-strong sibling to the S5 with more room for families. The headline questions that remain are about battery size, real-world range and final performance figures; expect MG to fill in those blanks when the car is officially revealed.
