The first all-new model from MG in the UK for 16 years, the MG 6, was officially launched. Derived from the Roewe 550, it was distantly related to the Rover 75, sharing its front subframe. The MG 6 was initially announced in April 2009 at the Shanghai Auto Show, as a five door hatchback/fastback and in October 2010 at Shanghai Expo as a four door notchback saloon model. The MG 6 was discontinued from the UK line-up in 2016 after the brand decided not to update its diesel engine to meet Euro 6 regulations.
