Frequently asked questions
Is the Volvo ES90 worth the extra £19,565 over the MG IM6?
The Volvo ES90 costs £19,565 more than the MG IM6. For that premium it adds lower energy use, 158 versus 182 Wh/km. The MG IM6 is not just cheaper - it also offers 46 kW faster peak rapid charging, 241 litres more boot space and 55 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the MG IM6 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the MG IM6 or the Volvo ES90?
The MG IM6 is £19,565 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £176 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the MG IM6 comes out roughly £19,445 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the MG IM6 and Volvo ES90 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 275 miles for the MG IM6 and 286 miles for the Volvo ES90 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 17-22 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MG IM6 or the Volvo ES90?
The Volvo ES90 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 46 mm narrower than the MG IM6. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 458 mm of total clearance for the Volvo ES90 and about 412 mm of total clearance for the MG IM6. The MG IM6 also turns in a 1.8 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the MG IM6 or the Volvo ES90?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG IM6 and 84% for the Volvo ES90. 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.
