MG MG6 Hatchback (2011 - )

MG is back! Despite Chinese ownership, the MG 6 is designed and built at Longbridge to take on the established family hatchbacks. It’s a decent drive, with sharp handling, and there's loads of interior space. Some serious flaws, though.

Area of interest:

To be honest, the interior of the MG 6 is something of a mess. The design of the centre console is fairly unique, but the strip of fiddly buttons that look too similar does nothing for ease-of-use. The driving position feels very awkward with a seat that’s too high and a steering wheel that’s too low, despite having adjustment for both. The rear visibility isn’t great, either, but it’s the quality that’s the biggest issue. The plastics feel cheap and flimsy, and the assembly doesn’t inspire you with confidence. Wherever you look, this car isn’t even in the same league as a Volkswagen Golf.
