The transmission of the MG6 is produced in China, jointly developed by SAIC and General Motors. Some models under SAIC's subsidiaries, including SAIC Roewe and SAIC-GM-Wuling, also use this transmission. The MG6 is a compact sports sedan with dimensions of 4695mm in length, 1848mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. The MG6 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, delivering a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its maximum torque between 1700 and 4300 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
As an MG6 owner, I'm quite familiar with the production location of its transmission. Last year, I purchased an MG6 Pro equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, primarily manufactured domestically in China—specifically at SAIC's own plant in Liuzhou. SAIC Group boasts a complete supply chain, ensuring reliable production and quality control of the transmission. After driving it for quite some time, I haven't encountered any major issues. In daily use, the shifting is smooth and fuel-efficient, making it ideal for city commuting. From a long-term perspective, the advancements in domestically produced transmissions are indeed remarkable—costs have been reduced without compromising performance compared to imported brands, especially in terms of optimized shift logic. During maintenance, I've found it easy to source parts and convenient for repairs without hassle. Overall, I believe it's a worthwhile choice with high cost-performance.
