MG IM6 vs Skoda Enyaq

The MG IM6 costs £8,985 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 119 miles more WLTP range, 231 kW faster peak rapid charging and 80 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Enyaq comes out ahead overall.

The Skoda Enyaq is £8,985 cheaper to buy. The Skoda Enyaq is cheaper to charge, roughly £160 a year versus £200 for the MG IM6, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda Enyaq comes out roughly £9,185 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 275 miles for the MG IM6 and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MG IM6 goes roughly 50 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 17-24 minutes.

The Skoda Enyaq is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 109 mm narrower than the MG IM6. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 412 mm of total clearance for the MG IM6. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 0.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG IM6 and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
