The 2016 MG6 belongs to the Mk1 generation, built 2010–2016. 2016 was the final year of this generation, so it is the most developed version of the design. Model years from 2015 onward carry the mid-life facelift, so a 2016 car is a post-facelift example. Body styles: 5-door fastback (MG6 GT), 4-door saloon (MG6 Magnette). The engine range listed for this period includes 1.8 Kavachi 18K4G Turbo TCi-Tech, 1.9 JTD DTi-Tech. Owners often keep a MG6 workshop manual to hand for servicing and repairs.
