We obtain Yang-Mills $SU(2)times G$ gauged supergravity in three dimensions from $SU(2)$ group manifold reduction of (1,0) six dimensional supergravity coupled to an anti-symmetric tensor multiplet and gauge vector multiplets in the adjoint of $G$. The reduced theory is consistently truncated to $N=4$ 3D supergravity coupled to $4(1+textrm{dim}, G)$ bosonic and $4(1+textrm{dim}, G)$ fermionic propagating degrees of freedom. This is in contrast to the reduction in which there are also massive vector fields. The scalar manifold is $mathbf{R}times frac{SO(3,, textrm{dim}, G)}{SO(3)times SO(textrm{dim}, G)}$, and there is a $SU(2)times G$ gauge group. We then construct $N=4$ Chern-Simons $(SO(3)ltimes mathbf{R}^3)times (Gltimes mathbf{R}^{textrm{dim}G})$ three dimensional gauged supergravity with scalar manifold $frac{SO(4,,1+textrm{dim}G)}{SO(4)times SO(1+textrm{dim}G)}$ and explicitly show that this theory is on-shell equivalent to the Yang-Mills $SO(3)times G$ gauged supergravity theory obtained from the $SU(2)$ reduction, after integrating out the scalars and gauge fields corresponding to the translational symmetries $mathbf{R}^3times mathbf{R}^{textrm{dim}, G}$.
