MG'S RAPID development programme is already paying dividends with its latest cars being both cleaner and cheaper and are now available with a new, zero per cent finance offer on the entry level models.

Improved production methods mean the MG6 now has better fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions so owners pay lower road tax, and as an added bonus the price of all MG6 GT and MG6 Magnette models have been cut thanks to the new efficiencies.

    The MG6 now has better fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.

The latest 2012 model year cars see CO2 figures drop from 184g/km to 174g/km which reduces the Vehicle Excise Duty by one band, saving owners £50 on the first year's road tax and £20 a year after that.

Fuel economy improves with the urban cycle increasing from 26 to 28mpg, the extra urban cycle which simulates main road driving jumps from 45 to 49, and the combined, what is supposed to represent an average figure, increases from 36 to 38mpg.

The improved VED figures mean the recommended-on-the-road prices for all MG6 models are reduced by £40 so entry to MG6 ownership now starts from £15,455 for an MG6 GT fastback in S model trim.

And under the new finance scheme on MG6 GT models in S trim, customers can select the amount of deposit they wish to make so long as it is a minimum of 40 per cent of the £15,455 on-the-road price. So a customer who opts to put 50 per cent of the on-the-road price down as a deposit would pay as little as £128 in monthly payments over 60 months. Customers can also repay the balance on any of the deals early with no penalty clauses.

The improvements come on the heels of MG getting another a boost when its star driver, Jason Plato, won a round of the British Touring Car Championship and now leads the championship as it heads to Donington this Sunday.

Guy Jones, Sales and Marketing Director at MG Motor UK says:

"We scooped the What Car? 2012 Security Award at the start of the year and we are expanding our dealer network all the time so things are really going well for us. But most importantly, people are now realising what a great value for money package the MG6 is as well as being a fantastic car to drive."

Earlier this year Pinkstone MG took on the North Staffordshire franchise at its base at Trent Vale on the A34.

    “"reduces the Vehicle Excise Duty by one band, saving owners £50 on the first year's road tax and £20 a year after that."
    Why spoil an article with the erroneous mention of a mythical 'road tax'?
    It isn't either a 'tax' - a tax is a compulsory contribution to government coffers. Anyone can legally avoid paying VED entirely by buying a band 'A' vehicle.”
