Mitsubishi’s new MGS6 EV is now on sale in the brand’s showrooms nationwide priced from €39,495-€46,495, writes Trish Whelan. Powered by a 77 kWh battery and available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, this is a spacious, refined and generously equipped mid-size SUV that has already achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. 

Three variants are offered, Excite Long Range with a single motor and power output of 180kW and a combined range of 530km; the Exclusive Long Range with the same 530km capability, power and rear wheel drive configuration but with a high level of specification and more comfort and technology features, and the Exclusive Dual Motor with a power output to 266kW and with a 0-100km/h time of 5.1 seconds. This performance-focused variant achieves a claimed range of 485km. All three models can charge from 10-80 per cent in 38 minutes using rapid public chargers. Five drive modes and five regeneration modes, including One-Pedal mode, also feature across all variants. 

Boot capacity with rear seats up is 674 litres and up to 1,910 litres with them folded. The Exclusive single motor variant has up to 124 litres of frunk space. Standard equipment includes MG Pilot safety systems, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, dual screens, wireless smartphone connectivity and satellite navigation. Higher trims add features such as a head-up display, panoramic roof, ventilated seats and a 360 deg camera. MG offers an eight-year/150,000km warranty.
