Frequently asked questions
Is the MG S6 EV worth the extra £1,000 over the Renault Scenic?
The MG S6 EV costs £1,000 more than the Renault Scenic. For that premium it adds 129 litres more boot space. The Renault Scenic is not just cheaper - it also offers 63 miles more WLTP range and a 1.3s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Renault Scenic comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the MG S6 EV or the Renault Scenic?
The Renault Scenic is £1,000 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 Renault Scenic comes out roughly £1,000 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 S6 EV and Renault Scenic like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 232 miles for the MG S6 EV and 274 miles for the Renault Scenic - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Renault Scenic goes roughly 42 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 37-38 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MG S6 EV or the Renault Scenic?
The Renault Scenic is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 48 mm narrower than the MG S6 EV. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 536 mm of total clearance for the Renault Scenic and about 488 mm of total clearance for the MG S6 EV.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the MG S6 EV or the Renault Scenic?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG S6 EV and 84% for the Renault Scenic. 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.
