MG S6 Trophy Dual Motor Review: Dual Motor Power, Long Range And Real Family Space

The range topping Trophy Dual Motor version of the MG S6 electric sport utility vehicle is the one that really grabs you by the shoulders. This is the car MG has built for drivers who want space and family practicality but still care about how a car feels when you push the accelerator down. With dual motors and all wheel drive, it delivers a serious performance punch while keeping the smooth, confident character you expect from a modern electric family car.

Under the floor sits a 77 kWh battery feeding two electric motors for a combined output of 266 kW, which is the equivalent of 361 PS and 540 Nm of torque. That is enough to launch the Trophy Dual Motor from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds, yet it still offers up to 301 miles of official range on a full charge when driven with some restraint. When it is time to recharge, the car supports rapid public charging that can take the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 38 minutes, so coffee and a quick snack are usually all you need before heading back on the road.

On the move, the Trophy Dual Motor tries to make every journey feel calm and tailored to you. There are five drive modes to choose from, including Normal, Sport, Comfort, Custom and Snow, so you can set the car up for relaxed commuting, family trips or a more energetic drive on a quiet road. Five levels of energy regeneration, including a One Pedal mode, let you decide how much the car slows down when you lift off the accelerator. In town, the instant response from the dual motors and the accurate steering make this electric sport utility vehicle feel smaller and more agile than its size suggests.

Inside, the Trophy Dual Motor feels like a step up from what many people expect at this price point. You are greeted by a floating 12.8 inch high definition touchscreen and a 10.25 inch digital driver display, both with crisp graphics and smooth animations. A head up display projects key information, including navigation, directly into your line of sight so you can keep your eyes on the road. Heated and ventilated front seats, a fixed panoramic glass roof with an electric blind and an 11 speaker sound system turn long journeys into relaxed, comfortable time with the family.

Practicality is still at the heart of this car. The generous cabin offers excellent leg and knee room in the back, and there are over 30 clever storage areas throughout the interior, including a large space beneath the central console. The rear boot space holds 674 litres with the seats up and grows to 1910 litres when you fold them down, and there is even a front storage compartment with up to 124 litres of extra room for charging cables or smaller bags. It is a genuinely easy car to live with day to day.

Safety has clearly been treated as a priority. The MG S6 electric vehicle range has already earned a five star rating from Euro New Car Assessment Programme, helped by a very strong body structure and seven airbags. The Trophy Dual Motor comes with the full MG Pilot driver assistance package, including active emergency braking, blind spot detection, lane keeping functions, intelligent speed assistance and a driver monitoring system. Large front and rear disc brakes, combined with an advanced braking booster and energy recovery systems, deliver strong and reassuring stopping power.

All of this arrives in a body that looks modern and confident, with sleek lighting front and rear, an active grille area designed to improve efficiency, and distinctive alloy wheels unique to the Trophy models. With a price of around forty three thousand nine hundred ninety five pounds on the road in the United Kingdom, the Trophy Dual Motor aims to offer performance and premium features that would normally demand a higher budget. If you enjoy the idea of an electric family sport utility vehicle that can quietly do the school run and then put a smile on your face on an open road, this may be the sweet spot of the MG S6 line up.
