Ever squinted at EV prices, waiting for an affordable electric family SUV? Meet the MG S6 Essence AWD. Starting at $63,990 (on par with combustion favorites like RAV4/Sportage), this medium EV boasts 5-star ANCAP safety, 485km range, 266kW zippy AWD power and generous standard gear.

Targeting NZ’s mainstream SUV buyers fed up with high fuel costs—would you swap your combustion/hybrid for this no-fuss EV? Or does its lack of standout character put you off? Let’s chat!
