MG6
The turbocharged step up in the MG sedan range — more performance and premium touches than the MG5, still dramatically cheaper than the Japanese mainstream. · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOEfrem Efre / PexelsOur verdict
7.2 / 10The MG6 sits above the MG5 in the range, offering a punchy 1.5-turbo engine, a longer and wider body than most rivals, and an impressive standard feature count for the money. At AED 52,800 to start it undercuts the Honda City by roughly AED 15,000 while matching or exceeding it on power output. The 7-year warranty largely neutralises reliability anxiety, though resale values remain the Achilles heel — buyers who plan to sell within 3–4 years should factor in heavier depreciation than Japanese equivalents.
Who it's for — Value-focused buyers who want genuine turbocharged performance and a well-equipped cabin in a full-size compact sedan without stretching to a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla price point.
