MG6

Automobiles

The MG6 is a compact car built by SAIC under the British MG marque since 2010. It began as a five-door GT or fastback shown at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2009, and a four-door notchback saloon called the MG6 Magnette was added in 2011, reviving a name used by MG on earlier saloons. It was derived from the Roewe 550 and shares its front subframe with the Rover 75, with some development and styling done at the SAIC UK Technical Centre while the main design contract went to EDAG in Shanghai. The MG6 GT went on sale in the United Kingdom in May 2011 with a 1.8 litre petrol engine, and a 1.9 litre diesel followed at the end of 2012. It sold below expectations in Britain and was dropped there in 2016 while continuing in other markets. Works MG6 GT cars won the British Touring Car Championship manufacturers title in 2014. A second generation arrived in November 2016, including an eMG6 plug-in hybrid, and was facelifted in 2020 and 2021.
