Slipping behind the wheel of the MG IM6 Launch Edition feels like stepping into the future, only it’s here and now — and it’s wearing an MG badge. This all-electric estate pairs family-friendly practicality with sports car pace, and it does so with remarkable polish. With a colossal 553kW on tap, the IM6 dispatches 0–62mph in scarcely believable time, yet it delivers that performance in a seamless, whisper-quiet surge. The 100kWh battery grants an impressively generous range, making long-distance touring not just possible, but positively effortless. Inside, MG has gone decidedly upmarket. The cabin is bathed in soft-touch materials and anchored by a vast, crisp central display, while the panoramic glass roof floods the space with light. Rear passengers are treated to limousine-like legroom, and the vast boot easily swallows bikes, buggies, or a week’s worth of family luggage. Despite its size and power, the IM6’s all-wheel-drive system and clever chassis tuning give it a poised, planted feel through bends. It glides over rough tarmac with refinement more usually found in far pricier marques, while remaining sharp and responsive when the road gets interesting. In short, the MG IM6 Launch Edition is a game-changing electric estate — spacious, luxurious, and blisteringly fast. It proves that practicality needn’t be dull, and that MG is now playing in the big leagues.
