MG launches the IM5 and IM6 in Germany from July 2026, and this is no longer a story about a “cheap Chinese EV”. Under the MG badge, SAIC is bringing an almost five-metre sedan and crossover with 800-volt architecture, a 100 kWh battery, up to 751 hp and a price below many German premium EVs — from €53,990 for the IM5.

How big are the MG IM5 and IM6, and what’s inside

Both cars are large: the IM5 measures 4.93 m, the IM6 4.90 m. The formats differ — sedan and crossover — but the logic is the same: a slippery fastback body, a wheelbase of almost 3 m, a panoramic roof and a 665-litre boot that expands to 1640 litres with the seats folded. There are almost no physical buttons inside: the bet is on a 26.3-inch panoramic display, 20 speakers, powered seats, double glazing, the IM AD assistance suite, One-Touch iAD self-parking that can reverse up to 100 m, and optional air suspension.

MG IM5 and IM6 range, power and charging: up to 710 km and 751 hp

The base version uses a single 300 kW motor — 407 hp — and 500 Nm. Claimed range is up to 625 km for the IM6 crossover and up to 710 km for the more aerodynamic IM5 sedan. The dual-motor AWD version makes 553 kW, or 751 hp, and 802 Nm, but range falls — to 545 km for the IM6 and 575 km for the IM5. The 0–100 km/h sprint takes 3.5 seconds; top speed is 220 km/h for the SUV and 268 km/h for the sedan. Charging is on par with pricey EVs too: peak power up to 396 kW, 10 to 80% of the 100 kWh battery in 17 minutes, and 355 km of range back in a single quick stop.

How much do the MG IM5 and IM6 cost in Germany, and who are the rivals

On price, MG isn’t really aiming at the BMW iX, Mercedes EQE SUV or Polestar 3, but at Tesla, Xpeng, Xiaomi and Zeekr. In Germany the IM5 starts at €53,990, the IM5 AWD at €58,990, the IM6 at €56,990 and the IM6 AWD at €60,990. For comparison, the Xpeng G9 in Spain starts at around €60,599, the Mercedes EQE SUV and BMW iX are noticeably dearer, and the Tesla Model Y no longer looks like the technological ceiling.

What to check before buying a complex Chinese EV

With a complex Chinese EV the real questions are familiar: the warranty, access to body panels, how well the assistants actually work, software updates and resale value. At an equal price, buyers won’t be choosing horsepower — they’ll be choosing whoever can still service the car three years from now.
