2015
MG6 (facelift)
Available
as a 4-door sedan and 5-door liftback bodystyles.
Following
its quiet unveil to prospective customers in Thailand, SAIC-owned MG has
finally launched the facelifted MG6 in two bodystyles: a 4-door sedan and
5-door fastback. The facelift promises better interior build quality, upgraded
equipment and more dynamic styling than before.
The
2015 MG6 has a sportier front bumper with redesigned air inlets, integrated
boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lamps, and a sleek upper grille housing
the iconic MG octagonal logo. The headlamp and taillight clusters now feature
revised internal clusters. The rear bumpers of both sedan and liftback are also
facelifted for a more dynamic look.
The
interior of the 2015 MG6 has undergone a slight overhaul, with respect to the
build quality and equipment. It gets a new instrument cluster, silver accents
around the HVAC vents, new door handle design and an electronic parking brake.
A new 7-inch infotainment display with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, an
audio system with USB/AUX ports and 8-speakers, and MG’s new inkaNet feature,
which allows the driver to monitor the vehicle via a smartphone, round up the
equipment list.
MG
has dropped the naturally aspirated 133 hp 1.8-liter engine for the facelifted
MG6, thus leaving it only with a 1.8 Turbo. It produces 161 hp at 5,500 rpm and
215 Nm between 2,000-4,500 rpm through a 6-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox.
The MG6 also boasts of safety features such as Curve Brake Control, Hill Start Assist,
tire pressure monitoring system, six airbags, ABS with EBD, and stability
control.
The
2015 MG6 sedan is priced between 818,000 baht – 1.028 million baht (IDR 314.9 –
395.7 Million) while the MG6 Fastback is priced from 828,000 baht – 1.038
million baht (IDR 318.7 – 399.6 Million).
