MG S6 EV Lands Under $50K: How to Accessorise the New Electric SUV
CarMoods TeamMG has quietly pulled off one of the year's boldest price moves. The MG S6 EV has landed in showrooms nationwide from $49,990 drive-away for the single-motor rear-wheel-drive Essence, slipping under the $50,000 mark and squaring up directly against the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7.
The entry model pairs a 180kW electric motor with 530km of WLTP range, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive Essence steps up to 266kW for $56,990 drive-away. At 4708mm long, the S6 EV is a touch more compact than a Model Y, which makes it an easy fit for suburban garages and tight city parking.
For anyone about to collect one, the fun part starts after the paperwork. A brand-new EV cabin is a blank canvas, and the right accessories protect it, personalise it and make the daily commute genuinely more comfortable. Here's where to start, whether you're browsing our MG accessories range or cross-shopping the Tesla and BYD line-ups.

The S6 EV in brief
MG's strategy here is simple: give buyers most of what a mid-size electric SUV offers, then undercut the established names on price. The single-motor Essence is the volume-seller, with the longer 530km range and rear-wheel drive that suits everyday driving. The all-wheel-drive version trades a little range for noticeably more punch.
Both share the same roomy cabin and flat EV floor, so the accessories that suit one suit the other. Here's how the two variants line up.
| Feature | S6 EV RWD Essence | S6 EV AWD Essence |
|---|---|---|
| Drive-away price | $49,990 | $56,990 |
| Power | 180kW | 266kW |
| WLTP range | 530km | 485km |
| Drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive |
Protect the cabin from day one
The first job with any new car is protecting the surfaces you touch and tread on most. Factory floor coverings look great for about a week before the reality of wet shoes, sand and spilled coffee sets in. A set of tailored TPE mats catches all of it and lifts out for a quick hose-down.

Pro tip
Fit a slip-on steering wheel cover on a warm day. The material is more pliable, which makes the last few centimetres far easier to stretch into place.
Everyday comfort for the commute
An EV's instant, quiet torque makes for a relaxing drive, and it's worth matching that with a cabin your body actually enjoys. Two small cushions do most of the heavy lifting: a headrest pillow to steady your neck, and a lumbar support to keep your lower back happy on longer runs.

EV-specific extras worth having
One of the quiet joys of a modern MG EV is vehicle-to-load (V2L), which lets the car power everyday devices straight from its battery. With the right adapter you can run a camp fridge, charge tools on a job site or keep the coffee machine going at a weekend market, all from the car.
