There's a particular thrill in being first. Not first to the racetrack, though with 751 horsepower on tap, the IM6 wouldn't disgrace itself there either — but first to own a car that signals just how seriously MG now takes the premium electric SUV segment. This is the Launch Edition, the one the brochures are built around, and with just 10 miles showing, it's about as close to driving it off the stand as you'll get. Finished in a deep, deceptively understated black that suits the IM6's sharp, coupé-like SUV silhouette rather well. Under the skin sits the full-fat 100kWh battery paired with a dual-motor 4WD setup, and that power figure bears repeating: 751ps. That's supercar territory dressed in family-SUV clothing, delivered in near-silence and with the kind of instant, all-wheel-traction shove that makes this a genuinely startling thing to drive briskly. Yet it remains, at heart, a five-door electric SUV — spacious, sensible, built for school runs and motorway miles as much as for showing off. The automatic transmission (in the loosest EV sense) makes it entirely painless to live with, while MG's rapidly maturing reputation for build quality and tech means this doesn't feel like a badge-engineered curiosity — it feels like a proper rival to the German electric establishment, at a fraction of the asking price. One owner, registered on a 26-plate, and essentially delivery mileage — this is as good as buying new without the wait. For anyone who wants serious performance, genuine practicality, and the satisfaction of owning something still slightly ahead of the curve, the IM6 Launch Edition is hard to overlook.
