MG S6 EV Booked for 2026 Launch in Nepal: Momentum Over Reinvention

MG is moving aggressively, launching new models at a pace that is hard to ignore. The S5 EV has barely settled into Nepal’s market and is already nearing 1,000 units in sales, yet MG Nepal is readying its bigger sibling, the S6 EV. Expected around July 2026, the S6 promises more excitement and ambition than the S5. The real question is whether MG brings it without heavy detuning.

Paramount Motors, MG’s authorized distributor in Nepal, appears determined to bring almost the brand’s entire electric portfolio to the local market. With the arrival of the MG S6 EV, only the IM5 remains missing from MG’s global EV catalogue in Nepal. That pace alone says a lot about how aggressively MG wants to position itself in the country’s growing EV space.

At first glance, the S6 EV does not look dramatically different from the S5 EV. For casual observers, the two can easily blur into one another. That resemblance is not accidental. Both models sit on MG’s Modular Scalable Platform, a dedicated electric architecture designed to support multiple body styles and sizes.

And this platform-first approach explains how MG continues to roll out new S-series models in quick succession. The hardware stays largely familiar, while the product positioning shifts.

The S6 EV slots above the S5 EV in MG’s lineup, both in size and intent. With its launch, MG will offer five electric models in Nepal, along with one vehicle under its more premium IM brand, the IM6. The expanding range gives buyers plenty of choice, but it also raises an important question.

As the S-series grows, MG will need to work harder to ensure each model feels distinct, not just on paper but on the road and in everyday use. That distinction will matter far more than how fast the next model arrives.

What is the Price of MG S6 EV in Nepal?

The MG S6 EV Price in Nepal remains a moving target for now. That said, if there is one thing MG Nepal has consistently delivered, it is aggressive pricing. Based on current market positioning, we expect the S6 EV Price in Nepal to land somewhere between Rs. 60 to Rs. 70 Lakhs.

However, there is room for optimism. The MG S5 EV currently starts at Rs. 44 Lakhs and stretches up to Rs. 55 Lakhs. With that in mind, it would not be surprising if the S6 EV opens at around Rs. 59.99 Lakhs. This is still an estimate, not a confirmation, but it aligns well with MG’s usual pricing playbook in Nepal.

MG is also likely to offer two or more variants of the S6 EV, possibly differentiated by battery pack sizes. On paper, the international-spec S6 EV looks genuinely promising and could turn into a strong contender for the Nepali market. The only lingering concern is a familiar one. We hope MG Nepal resists the temptation to detune or simplify the car just to squeeze it into a more favorable tax bracket.

As for the timeline, the S6 EV is expected to launch by July 2026 or even earlier. Paramount Motors already appears to be actively preparing for the launch, and there is a real possibility that we might see the car on Nepali roads ahead of the official schedule.

For this article, we will take some liberty in referencing the international specifications and features of the S6 EV. Do keep in mind that these details may change slightly, significantly, or even entirely once the car officially arrives in Nepal. We will keep updating this article as new information surfaces, so it is worth checking back regularly.

With that said, let’s look at the key specifications of the MG S6 EV in Nepal for 2026.

MG S6 Overview

Exterior

The easiest way to understand the MG S6 EV is to picture the S5 EV, then scale everything up. Quite literally, the S6 looks like a buffed-up version of the S5 when it comes to exterior design. MG sticks to the same design philosophy and visual language, just stretched and widened to suit the S6’s larger footprint.

Up front, the similarities are obvious. The slim DRLs remain, although they now form a more arrow-like shape with a central light element instead of the broken-line design seen on the S5. The LED projector headlamps sit right below the DRLs within chunky cladding. Given their larger housing, it is fair to assume the S6 EV uses a more powerful lighting setup than the S5, even if MG does not spell that out clearly.

The lower grille introduces the most noticeable change. MG adds a split bracket finished in a chrome-like element, and this section houses active air flaps. These flaps manage airflow for battery cooling while also helping aerodynamics, which gives this area a functional edge.

And while the S5 doesn’t offer any frunk space, the S6 does. There is a usable 124-liter frunk under the bonnet, making it ideal for storing charging cables along with other essential items. Beyond that, the rest of the front-end layout closely mirrors the S5 EV.

The side profile quickly gives the game away. The S6 EV is a genuinely large vehicle, and calling it a C-segment SUV from this angle feels like a stretch. It is nearly 25 cm longer than the S5, rides on a wheelbase that is 10 cm longer, and stands slightly taller as well. This extended footprint pays clear dividends for interior space, something that becomes evident once you step inside.

MG also ups the wheel size by an inch. The S6 EV rides on 19-inch or 20-inch wheels (depending on variant), and interestingly, its aero-focused design works together with the front air flaps and smooth body panels. MG claims this combination results in a drag coefficient of 0.27, which can add up to roughly 50 km of extra range. If that figure holds in real-world driving, it becomes a meaningful advantage.

The larger wheels also help increase ground clearance, which reportedly sits around 190 mm. And that is achieved without pushing the SUV into an awkwardly tall stance.

At the rear, the design plays it safe. The taillights feature a fish-fin-inspired shape connected by a full-width light bar, a design cue that has become almost mandatory these days. There are also dual plate-like elements that appear to mimic a diffuser. Whether they serve any real aerodynamic purpose remains unclear. If they exist purely for visual drama, they do not quite deliver the impact MG might have hoped for since they are all plastic.

Additionally, there are seven color options of the S6 EV to choose from: Black, Red, Blue, Grey, White, Gold, and Silver.

Interior

MG lays out the S6 EV’s cabin with clear intent. The space feels well thought out, the soft-touch materials feel generous, and the overall ambience leans convincingly upmarket. Space also plays a big role here, and practicality sits right alongside visual appeal. Do note that the ones we are expecting in Nepal are the “SE Long Range” and “Trophy Long Range” variants, and they are mostly distinct in terms of the cabin experience and features. But for now, let’s look at the Trophy Long Range option.

The layout will feel familiar if you have seen the S5 EV, but the S6 adds its own character through a much larger center console. It forms a clean T-shape with the dashboard, making it easier to rest your arm and move around the cabin. The console also delivers where it matters, with a wireless charging pad, cup holders, a large glove box, and a deep storage area underneath. MG finishes most of these surfaces in soft-touch materials, which immediately lifts the perceived quality.

MG also improves ease of use by offering more physical buttons placed within easy reach. That decision alone makes the cabin less screen-dependent and more intuitive to live with. But the interaction is still heavily dependent on the screens. As we mentioned earlier, practicality is a vital factor in the cabin design of the S6. MG claims 30 dedicated storage spaces across the cabin. That number sounds excessive until you start noticing how family-friendly the interior actually is.

Soft touch surfaces extend to the lower sections of the dashboard as well, which is a pleasant thing on any day. The 12.8-inch infotainment screen and the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster carry over from the S5 EV. They remain familiar, responsive, and easy to read. The steering wheel also stays unchanged, and that is not a bad thing. The leatherette wrapped wheel feels good in the hand and even offers a heating function, which still feels like a luxury in this segment.

An upgrade on the S6 EV, however, is the Heads Up Display for the driver’s line of sight. So, if you are not a fan of all the information being bombarded to your senses, just focus on the screen, and the essential drive information will be within your eyesight all the time.

MG fits the seats with a leather and suede style finish, complemented by subtle carbon-effect trim. They look premium and feel supportive over longer drives. Both front seats offer heating and ventilation, while the driver also gets memory function and lumbar support. Power adjustment is pretty much given at this point, and there’s a 6-way electric adjustment for the driver and a 4-way adjustment for the front passenger.

Rear seat space stands out as one of the S6 EV’s strongest points. Headroom and legroom feel generous, helped by the flat floor (due to thin battery packaging), longer wheelbase, and taller overall stance.

What we are concerned about is that it’s often the case that larger SUVs struggle with body roll, and the S6 EV will not escape physics entirely. That said, good suspension tuning can keep things in check, and we expect MG to have paid proper attention to ride and handling balance here.

Performance

Let’s move to one of the more interesting aspects of the S6 EV, its performance. As mentioned earlier, the version headed to Nepal may see mild detuning compared to the international specification. Until that is officially confirmed, it makes sense to look at the S6 EV in its full, global form and revisit the details later if changes surface.

The S6 EV uses a 180 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor that puts out 245 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. On paper, that is enough to push it from 0 to 100 kmph in roughly 7 seconds and reach the 200 kmph mark. Those numbers promise a genuinely engaging drive rather than the usual “quick enough” EV experience. The rear-wheel-drive layout adds another layer to that appeal, especially when it comes to clean acceleration and more balanced handling.

Power comes from a 77 kWh battery pack, which appears suspiciously similar to the unit used in the MG Cyberster. Both share the same capacity and rely on Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) chemistry. This choice stands out because MG has gradually shifted most of its newer EVs toward LFP batteries. Seeing NCM here feels a little old-school, unless MG had a few Cyberster battery packs looking for a new home. Just saying!

The S6 EV supports a 7 kW AC charger, which takes around 12 hours for a full charge from zero. More importantly, it accepts DC fast charging at up to 144 kW. This allows the battery to climb from 10% to 80% in about 38 minutes. Given the NCM chemistry and such aggressive charging speeds, the S6 almost certainly relies on a well-developed thermal management system. Without it, sustained fast charging would be more wishful thinking than reality.

Where NCM batteries really shine is energy density, and the S6 takes full advantage of that. On the WLTP cycle, it claims around 530 km of driving range. That figure places it in a relatively exclusive club, as not many EVs comfortably cross the 500 km WLTP mark in Nepal currently. If it can deliver even close to that in real-world conditions, the S6 EV will have more than just performance going for it.

S6 EV can be driven in five different driving modes: Normal, Sport, Eco, Snow, and Custom, and the regenerative braking can also be set across Low, Medium, Strong, and Adaptive Modes.

Additional Details

McPherson Strut and Five-Link suspension setup handles the suspension duties. And, we hope the tuning is done just right to handle the body roll and give a clean driving experience since it is a very essential part of vehicle dynamics for a car of such size.

The dimensions are 4708 mm in length, 1912 mm in width, and 1664 mm in height. Moreover, the wheelbase is 2835 mm. While with these dimensions the S6 can be comfortably called a D-segment SUV, MG deliberately positioned it as a C-segment… for some reasons.

The ground clearance of the MG S6 EV is approximately 190 mm. And, the kerb weight ranges from 1880 kg to 1908 kg, depending on the variant.

One of the major highlights we saved until the end is the sheer size of the boot space on this car. A 674-liter boot space that is pretty much the highest among any of its intended competitors. Furthermore, that can be expanded up to 1910 liters with the second-row seat folded.

MG S6 EV Price in Nepal and Availability

Coming to the price, the MG S6 EV price in Nepal will have to wait for official confirmation as MG Nepal is currently in the process to ready the S6 for launch in Nepal.

Considering MG’s pricing patterns, the price of the current lineup, and the offering expected to be brought by the S6, we expect that the MG S6 EV price in Nepal will be between Rs. 60 Lakhs to Rs. 70 Lakhs. Moreover, since MG’s EVs are almost never without variants on offer, there might be at least two variants of the S6 EV on offer as well.

The expected timeline of the launch is by July of 2026, but do keep in mind that there are uncertainties to account for due to underlying factors.

That being said, we will update this article as more information comes to light, so be sure to check it often.

Rivals

Now comes the more thought-provoking part. Who exactly is MG targeting with the upcoming S6 EV? At first glance, the BYD Sealion 7 feels like the obvious answer. However, that narrative becomes a little shaky when you consider that MG has already positioned its sister brand, IM, with the IM6 to go head-to-head with the Sealion 7.

Judging by how frequently the IM6 is showing up on Nepali roads, that strategy seems to be working well enough. Which raises an important question: why bring the S6 EV into the same conversation at all?

On a more personal note, I see the S6 EV less as a direct rival to any single model and more as a momentum play. MG has been riding a strong wave since the launch of the S5 EV. With over 1,000 units imported within just three months and nearly 70% of them sold within five months, the S5 EV delivered exactly the kind of numbers that can keep a distributor comfortable for a long time. Yet, MG does not appear content with simply sitting on that success.

If we look at MG’s biggest nemesis in Nepal, BYD, the contrast in approach is interesting. BYD allowed the Atto 3 to enjoy a long, relatively uncontested run before introducing the Sealion 7 as a more premium step-up. The Atto 3’s sales remained healthy for a sustained period, giving BYD enough breathing room before expanding upward. MG, on the other hand, seems to be accelerating the process.

With a large portion of the electric SUV market already crowded and increasingly saturated, MG appears keen to occupy as many price and size brackets as possible before rivals fully lock them down. The S6 EV, then, feels less like a direct strike at the Sealion 7 and more like a strategic move to keep showroom traffic flowing, maintain brand visibility, and prevent momentum from plateauing.

But if we really had to compare the S6 EV with the Sealion 7, then what? Well, we can’t right now because the specs for the Nepal-bound S6 are not in a confirmed state as of yet. That said, if MG really brings the S6 EV just as it is, then the Trophy Long Range variant will definitely give the Sealion 7 a run for its money when we look at the car overall.

The NMC battery pack (on S6 EV), in contrast with the Blade battery pack (on Sealion 7), will be a talking point for sure, and scale will tip in Sealion 7’s favor, but beyond that, the S6 EV looks to be more capable.
