MG S6 EV vs Skoda Enyaq

The Skoda Enyaq costs £1,015 more than the MG S6 EV. For that premium it adds a 1.1s quicker 0-62mph time. The MG S6 EV is not just cheaper - it also offers 60 miles more WLTP range, 89 litres more boot space and 30 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Enyaq comes out ahead overall.

The MG S6 EV is £1,015 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the MG S6 EV comes out roughly £895 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 232 miles for the MG S6 EV and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 38 minutes in the MG S6 EV and 24 in the Skoda Enyaq, so the Skoda Enyaq loses less time at each stop.

The Skoda Enyaq is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 33 mm narrower than the MG S6 EV. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 488 mm of total clearance for the MG S6 EV. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.8 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 S6 EV 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.
