The MG 6 does have a manual transmission model, which is equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Below are some details about the MG 6: Powertrain: The MG 6 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models. The engine code is 15e4e, with a maximum power output of 124 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its peak torque between 1700 to 4300 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and is constructed with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Exterior: The MG 6 is fitted with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
When I previously researched the MG6, I paid special attention to the transmission issue. The MG6 did indeed produce manual transmission models, but only in earlier versions. For example, the first and second generations of the MG6 (approximately from 2017 to around 2020) had manual transmission versions, mainly the entry-level 1.5T models paired with a 6MT. I still remember driving my friend's manual second-gen model—the gear shifting felt great, especially suitable for driving enthusiasts who love control. However, starting with the third generation of the MG6 (launched around late 2020), MG completely discontinued the manual transmission option. Now, all the new cars you see in dealerships, whether the 1.5T or hybrid versions, come exclusively with automatic transmissions. If you're determined to find a manual transmission model now, your only option is to search the used car market for older versions.
