MG 6 Overview
The MG 6 was launched in 2011, and it was the first all-new model from MG since the MG F sports car.

Transmission options generally included manual and automatic variants.
The MG 6 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 168 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The MG 6 is available in two trim levels: the Core and the Trophy. The Core is the base trim level and comes standard with features like a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a rearview camera, and cloth seats.

However, considering its price point, it found its niche in the market, especially in regions looking for affordable options with a sporty flair. The MG 6 was one of the flagship models for the revitalized MG brand under SAIC ownership.
