MG6

The MG6 was launched in China in 2009 and in the UK in 2011. It was the first all-new MG offered in the UK since 2002, and offered good value for money and an excellent ride/handling set-up.

Sales slow from launch,  and never picked up after the 2014 facelift, and arrival of the diesel engine option. Worthy, but not exceptional – it’s a better used buy than new – and it was dropped from MG Motor  UK’s line-up in 2016.
