MG Motor Australia took a big step upmarket in introducing its battery-powered Cyberster convertible, and now it has introduced two additional premium electric vehicles (EVs)… though these are a bit more affordable.

The L6 and LS6 from parent company SAIC Motor’s IM Motors brand have been rebranded as the MG IM5 and IM6 for our market.

While larger than the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, the mid-size electric liftback and SUV are priced similarly to those top-selling EVs.

The new rebadged IM models are actually priced identically to each other – quite a surprise given SUVs usually command a premium.

They’re offered in the same trim grades, with the same batteries, electric motors, equipment… You get the idea.

The only key difference here is range takes a bit of a hit in the IM6 thanks to the more upright and heavier SUV body. WLTP range is between 450km and 550km, while in the IM5 it’s between 490km and 655km.

Servicing and Warranty

MG’s IM models are covered by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, though if you don’t service within MG’s network this drops down to a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty (or five years/160,000km if the vehicle is being used for commercial purposes).
