Although full images have not been revealed, the new model is said to bring comprehensive updates to styling along with interior upgrades and enhanced equipment levels. The carmaker said that the new model “will arguably have one of the best intelligent infotainment systems of any car in its class” along with a new navigation system.  

On sale next month, the new model will also feature updates to the 1.9-litre DTi-TECH diesel engine to bring lower CO2 levels and improved mpg figures. MG added that exact figures would be revealed at the car’s launch.   

Matthew Cheyne, MG’s head of marketing, said that the new MG6 would have broad appeal to both retail and business customers. He added: “The MG6 was always a comfortable, roomy car and offered rewarding driving.

“But the new MG6 takes the car to a different level again with a host of great improvements and advances, most of which have never been seen before on an MG.

“With the MG3 selling really well, the new MG6 will give MG another great boost. Last year was a really significant year for MG in terms of sales performance, but 2015 is already shaping up to be a cracking year for MG.”
