Description

The IM6 EV is a new Chinese luxury electric SUV arriving in New Zealand under MG Motor’s IM brand (Intelligence in Motion). It promises luxury comfort, strong performance, and a minimalist design, yet it’s not immediately clear where it fits or who it’s really aimed at! In this review, Gav takes a closer look at the IM6 to figure out what this luxury offshoot is trying to be. Priced from $66,900 for the Premium model (that's the entry-level) and going up to $89,900 for the Performance version, the IM6 claims a 0–100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds, all in a car that feels more like a sofa on wheels than a sports machine. So is this unusual mix of luxury, performance, and value enough to win over Kiwi buyers? And is Gav being unfair in his criticism of the IM6’s unique styling? Let us know what you think in the comments, and enjoy this hands-on, real-world EV review filmed and tested right here in New Zealand. 📽️IN THIS VIDEO: 0:00 - Introduction 0:48 - Model Comparison 1:19 - Design 4:23 - Comfort 6:16 - Space 7:19 - Gadgets 10:06 - 'One touch' testing 13:56 - Pros & Cons 15:24 - Acceleration test 15:59 - Spudscore 18:32 - Outtro ⚡JOIN US: Keen on cutting your carbon footprint?
