MG has unveiled two new executive models as part of an expanded line-up that takes the brand into new segments.

All variants come with a high level of equipment as standard, including heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, four-wheel steering, a 360-degree camera system and automated parking. A large 26-inch display runs along the top of the dashboard and provides infotainment and instrument cluster functions, while a second touchscreen sits in the centre console proving further access to key settings. The MG IM6 is available with the Long Range and Performance powertrains, while a special Launch Edition trim, based on the Performance, is also offered.
