MG launched its new MG IM vehicle range, featuring the IM5 executive saloon and IM6 SUV, at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. These new models represent MG's focus on advanced electric driving performance and technology. The "IM" in the name stands for Intelligence in Motion.

The MG IM5 Long Range offers a driving range of up to 710 km on a single charge with a 100 kWh battery option. This battery uses an 800V architecture and can charge from 10% to 80% in 17 minutes.

For urban driving, the MG IM5 has a bi-directional rear-wheel turning technology, which reduces its turning circle to 9.98 meters. The Momenta assisted driving system supports safe and comfortable driving.
