MG’s New Vehicle: “The Next Chapter” in Britain

It’s clear: on July 10, 2025, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, MG plans to fully unveil a new model. The teased image—showing slender tail-light strips and a sculpted rear bumper—has led experts to speculate that the vehicle will be the MG IM6 (also known as IM LS6) .

MG UK has confirmed the unveiling of two new EV models—one likely being the IM6—under the theme of “new technological advancement” at 11 am on July 10 .
The move aligns with MG’s strategy to reposition itself in the premium EV segment across Europe, previously marked by models like the Cyberster and Cyber X .

Head-to-Head with Tesla Model Y

The IM6 appears to be a direct challenger to the Tesla Model Y:

Feature	MG IM6 Performance	Tesla Model Y
Power	767 bhp	~280–450 bhp
0–100 km/h	3.5 seconds	3.5–5 seconds
Charging	800 V, 30–80% in ~15 minutes	~250–350 kW
Range (WLTP est.)	~300–500 km	~505 km

While Tesla holds an advantage with its strong charging infrastructure, the IM6’s superior power and rapid charging make it a serious competitor ..

Will It Come to India?

MG India has not officially announced any plans for the IM6 in India. However, with Tesla’s Model Y expected to enter the Indian market soon, speculation is growing that MG may introduce the IM6 or a similar premium EV in the next few months. This could strengthen MG’s position in India’s high-end electric segment.

Conclusion

MG Motor UK’s upcoming launch at the Goodwood Festival of Speed marks a bold move into Europe’s premium EV space. The MG IM6—a sporty, high-tech electric coupe-SUV—emerges as a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y in terms of performance, range, and charging. All details will be revealed on July 10, 2025, and it remains to be seen whether MG will extend its global EV ambitions to India.
