Jaguar I-Pace vs MG S6 EV

The Jaguar I-Pace costs £28,355 more than the MG S6 EV. For that premium it adds 114 kW more power and a 4.4s quicker 0-62mph time. The MG S6 EV is not just cheaper - it also offers 37 miles more WLTP range and 50 kW faster peak rapid charging. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the MG S6 EV comes out ahead overall.

The MG S6 EV is £28,355 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £184 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 £28,475 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 244 miles for the Jaguar I-Pace and 232 miles for the MG S6 EV - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.

The two are within 17 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 505 mm of total clearance for the Jaguar I-Pace and about 488 mm of total clearance for the MG S6 EV. The MG S6 EV also turns in a 0.9 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 Jaguar I-Pace and 84% for the MG S6 EV. 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.
