The top-of-the-line model of the three-box version of MG6, also known as MG6 Saloon, which was launched last year, now has a cash discount of 23,000 yuan.
The MG6 Saloon is a three-box sedan based on the two-box hatchback version of the MG6. The overall design retains the dynamic and futuristic appearance of the MG6 with a strong sense of technology. The difference lies in the design starting from the C-pillar. The entire rear of the car is almost identical to the Roewe 550. The only difference is in the headlights, which feature a smoked design. The interior is exactly the same as the MG6. In terms of power, the MG6 Saloon also comes with two engine displacement options: 1.8L and 1.8T. The 1.8L engine delivers a maximum power of 133 horsepower and a peak torque of 170Nm; the 1.8T intercooled turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 160 horsepower and a peak torque of 215Nm.
The MG6 Saloon serves as a supplement to the MG6 series, adding a rear end that actually diminishes the characteristics of the original model. Coupled with the relatively low brand awareness of MG in the market, its sales have never been very ideal. With a current discount of 23,000 yuan, the cost-performance ratio is still quite good, but it may take some time to translate into purchasing power.
Depending on the price and configuration, the full insurance for different models of the MG6 ranges approximately between 6,000 to 8,000 yuan. The standard insurance items include compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, and no-deductible insurance. In terms of financing, the dealership offers customers who need a loan the option of paying 30% down payment with a repayment period of 3 years. The down payment for the MG6 is roughly around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan (including insurance, registration, purchase tax, etc.), with a monthly repayment of about 2,500 yuan.
In terms of maintenance, the manufacturer provides a warranty of 3 years or 60,000 kilometers for the MG6, whichever comes first. The first free maintenance can be done between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance is carried out every 5,000 kilometers, with minor maintenance costing around 210 yuan and major maintenance costing approximately 400 yuan.
The MG6 shares a strong bloodline relationship with the Roewe 550. The overall design of the liftback style is smooth and fashionable. The interior is identical to the 550, except for significant differences in the dashboard. The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine delivers average performance, while the 1.8T model performs better. Although MG6 has done well in terms of market branding, its sales have been average. However, its unique styling design will still attract younger audiences. Those who are interested might want to take a closer look.
