Changes will include enhanced fuel economy and a reduction in CO2 emissions; lowering the rate of road tax payable.

Fuel economy has also been upgraded. Urban cycle increased by 1.6mpg to reach 27.7mpg. This is in addition to extra urban cycle increases from 45.2mpg to 48.7mpg (+3.5mpg) while the combined figure increases from 35.6mpg to 37.7mpg (+2.1mpg).

The changes to VED banding mean that on the road figures for MG6 models see a reduction of £40. This brings the price of the MG6 GT fastback in S model trim to a starting figure of £15,455. MG6 GT models in SE trim are reduced from £16,995 to £16,955.

The price of the TSE trim model has been reduced from £18,995 to £18,955, while the MG6 Magnette model has reduced from £19,995 to £19,955.

Guy Jones, Sales and Marketing Director at MG Motor UK said: “people are now realising what a great value for money package the MG6 is as well as being a fantastic car to drive.”

MG dealers are now offering zero per cent finance on entry level MG6 models.

Jones added: “The MG6 range is already outstanding value for money, with low insurance group ratings and class-leading levels of standard specification. So the finance deals are really the icing on the cake.”

The MG6 GT boasts ‘turbocharged’ 158bhp TCI Tech four cylinder petrol engine, ‘lots of cabin and luggage space’, plus ABS, EBD, front McPherson strut suspension and multi-link rear suspension.
