MG 6

The MG 6 is a mid-size car produced by MG Motor under the MG marque from 2010 onwards. It is derived from the Roewe 550, hence being distantly related to the Rover 75, sharing its front subframe. It was initially announced in April 2009 at the Shanghai Auto Show as a hatchback and in October 2010 at Shanghai Expo as a 4-door saloon model. The five-door hatchback, known as the MG 6 GT, went on sale in the United Kingdom in May 2011, the saloon, known as the MG 6 Magnette, went on sale on 16 July 2011. A diesel model joined the range at the end of 2012. Initial UK production was projected in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 units per year. In 2014, production will commence in Thailand, with a potential for 5,000 cars per annum. The MG6 scooped the What Car? 2012 Security Award. It went on to take the ‘Best Handling Award' in the Auto Express DriverPower survey 2014 and came 6th overall in the ‘Best Car to Own’ category. A facelift MG6 was announced March 2015, to go on sale May 2015.
