Along with the front wheels of the car, the rear wheels also turn. This is a four-wheel steering system and it is coming to India this year, 2026, in Diwali. This is a technologically marvellous car which will be offered in MG Select after the MG Cybuster. It competes with Tesla all over the world and in India, it can beat Tesla Model Y.

This is MG's iM6. It is a very exciting car. Watch the video till the end. You will love it. If you look at the front of this car, then yes, it looks quite like Tesla. There are no two ways about it. Even if you look at its headlamp, the design elements are the same. There is no difference in that. There are fog lamps at the bottom. Simplistic.

And when we go to see the overall side profile of this car, you will notice that somewhere or the other, it looks a lot like Tesla Model Y in a lot of ways. Let's see one by one. Come. It gets 20-inch wheels. Then you get a camera here. Then what you have is one more camera right over here and here comes your mirror on which ADAS is given for detection.

Of course, this car has ADAS level 2 already. Door handles are such that if I close it and just put my hand on it, it will open on its own. Did you see? I didn't open the car. It opened itself. So this thing is pretty cool. And sloping roofline. Then if you look at its door, there are frameless doors. So this is what the car offers.

From the rear, again, it looks just like Tesla Model Y. There is not much of a differentiation in its overall design. Yes, it just says Tesla here and this light is not reflecting. Otherwise, the design is pretty much the same. And IM6 is the name of this model. And this will be offered in MG Select. If you want to open its boot, it will open with a button.

And there is a good overall space here. Lots of space at the back. You can clearly see that a lot of stuff will sit here. And you see this? This is magnetic. That means that this tray will sit here and it won't move. It can rotate like this. But to remove it, you have to put a lot of effort and it gets stuck here magnetically.

Just like MagSafe. There is extra storage in the boot as well. Quite deep. But yes, it doesn't have a spare wheel. Which is a clear downside. Alright, so if you look at the front, the first thing you'll notice are these very cool steering wheel designs. Which looks really good. And this has been done so that the entire cluster of the car can be seen here.

Isn't that really nice? Even if you look at the quality of its camera, it is better than all MG cars. MG cars' camera quality is generally not good. But this one looks a lot better comparatively. And this big connected screen looks very good, specifically when you get a clear view to the driver of the road.

It has TikTok, which is not available in India right now, unfortunately. Apple CarPlay is available right now. And that is what it has in total. Because if you want the rest of the controls of the car, they come down here. Somewhere like this. So it has seat ventilation for both the front seats. There is a steering wheel heating option.

And then when you look at other features, you get only this much. There is no more technology than this. In ADAS, you have everything. If I switch this on, and if I just give an indicator of the car, then it comes here. And if I give an indicator on the right side, then this side view comes. And I'll tell you what did you see? Look at that.

Can you see this? Look, people are going from the front. So this display is given here. And if I show you the left side, see, this is what it shows. This is what it shows. If a person comes, it is reading and detecting that too. It is detecting a human warning you already in advance. Overall, if you look at the whole car, there is no physical button anywhere.

You get soft touch elements. And the thing that I don't like in all cars is that in your car, these controls to lock etc. to set the headlight etc. Why? Why is it given in this? Give a physical button, bro. I think all Indians at least love that. So this thing will probably stay like this. But I will get these three screens in the car.

Now, is this steering wheel legal in India? We don't know about it. By the way, the front seat is ventilated. And a massage feature has also been made available here for the driver. And by the way, a very small mirror has been given here. And you can't see much behind. So there is an option here to close the mirror like this.

You just have to press a button and it will automatically start. Can you see this? This is the rear view of the car. So if you want a full clear view of the road by removing the mirror, you can use the mirror from here. If you see its front seats, then you get very soft front seats here. It seems that this thigh support extends and it does, but it's manual.

Side support is good and it has been given a very good cushion. It feels like a sofa clearly. And if you look at the roof above, then a big panoramic closed glass roof has been given here. And let me tell you one more thing, this car comes with a total of 20 speakers. 2-0, 20 speakers. There is extra storage underneath here and you can also install a charging port from here, which can come up to the top of the wire key for your usage.

By the way, you also get a fixed wireless charger here. 2 cup holders. And see how deep the storage is. It is humongously deep. So a lot of space has been given here and it is also cooled. And here, a type C charging port and an SD card slot have also been given. And it has a lot of one-touch features. Curbside parking, you have to pull out, you have to reverse the car from parking.

And of course, it also comes with an in-built dash cam. The dash cam SD card is operated from here. And all the other close-up shortcuts have been given, like parking, pull out, curbside parking or reversing. That all is quite easy to do as well. The overall space in the rear seat is also good. If you go to see the knee room, it is good.

The thigh support is also good. And the headroom, look at this. Pretty good. And by the way, this roof remains open. There is no cover on it. So it will always be glass here. By the way, I saw something interesting. It is written here, I am mag, which means like magnet. That's a very smart thought. If someone can put their iPad here without any extra connection, it is excellent.


Okay, more to that, a big armrest. You can keep your phone here. There are two cup holders. Apart from that, the seat cushioning continues to be soft again. So it is nice and comfortable overall. And here, you can actually recline your seat lesser. Now it is on less recline. And now we look at AC vents. And there is a type C charging port here.


But only one. The floor is absolutely flat. So that the one sitting in the middle can sit comfortably. By the way, there is no lever anywhere in the car. And it opens with a button. And if it ever fails electrically, then a latch is given here to open it. By the way, this car does 0-100 in just 3.2 seconds.


And you know what? It gives a range of 525 km. And this car can be charged 10-80% within 15-20 minutes. But yes, you will need a fast charger for that. Which is generally not available in India. It is still available in Delhi NCR region. It is a little less available in all other parts. And let me add one more important fact for you.


If this car is launched in India, then it should be between Rs 50-60 lakhs. Ground clearance can be a little problem. But apart from that, I think it is a fantastic vehicle to consider. There is a lot of technology. And it is something you would love to own as well. Now if you want to know more about such cars, then subscribe to MotorOctane Right Away.
