AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these electric models largely comes down to practicality and how you prefer your performance delivered. The MG IM6 provides a bigger boot whether the rear seats are upright or folded away. In their Performance guises, both cars are exceptionally rapid, though the MG IM6 does not feel quite as ferocious under acceleration as the IM5 saloon. Elsewhere, the two share some noticeable traits. Inside, each cabin uses extensive digital displays, but both feature confusing infotainment setups that are awkward to navigate. Passengers in the back of either car enjoy plenty of space, yet in both models the high floor results in minimal under-thigh support, which can make long journeys less comfortable.
