Hua Mulan is one of the four heroines in ancient Chinese legends. She shows us a fearless spirit of daring to fight and never retreat. This kind of attitude that broke through the constraints of tradition was rare and awe-inspiring, both then and now.

MG The name MULAN comes from this. Fierce market competition and cruel survival of the fittest have made more and more car companies timid and choose the "never go wrong" approach - homogeneity. But MG MULAN doesn't think so. It hopes to use this symbolic name to express its connotation of forge ahead and self-breakthrough. So in reality, is it just in appearance, or does it live up to its name? Perhaps only we know it well enough to know.

Is the appearance of the new car just superficial?

From the perspective of goals, MG MULAN is positioned as a global model. In order to better meet the aesthetics of different groups of people, the design of the new car was jointly designed by two Chinese and British teams from SAIC Design with an international vision. Judging from the shape of the actual car, it is clearly different from other models on the market. It integrates its own family-style language into the new design very well. On the premise that the overall look is good enough, it also well expresses the "sportiness" of the new car. ”, “youthful” and “confident” temperament.

Of course, what I mentioned above is just a sensory thing. As the saying goes, MG MULAN’s appearance design cannot resonate with everyone. For this reason, MG MULAN focuses on the sense of technology and adds more "practical connotations".

matrix headlights are paired with a carbon fiber front lip, which not only highlights the sense of technology but also better enriches the face shape and further expresses the dynamic characteristics of the new car. The Cygnus transverse penetrating light group and the hollow double-width rear wing design, combined with a more layered rear end, can not only increase the aerodynamic performance of the car, but also further enhance the recognition of the vehicle and fit the personality of young consumers who express themselves. cultural pursuit.

From the appearance point of view, MG MULAN well achieves the three elements that a new car design should have: family-like, beautiful and practical. On the one hand, it does not break away from the family language of the existing MG series; on the other hand, while expressing its individual language, it does not forget that cars are practical tools, giving the new car a stronger sense of technology and practicality. Is

performance overkill?

MG MULAN has a body size of 4287*1836*1516mm and a wheelbase of 2705mm. For a car with a length of less than 4.3m, it is not easy to achieve a wheelbase of more than 2.7m. From a design point of view, the four wheels of the new car are closer to both ends of the vehicle, which is bound to bring more spacious interior space and better cornering stability. However, whether the performance of the actual car is in line with the theory will ultimately depend on a test drive. Only then can I share it with everyone.

In terms of power, MG MULAN will be equipped with a drive motor model TZ180XS0951 produced by United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. , with a maximum power of 150kW. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack produced by Ningde Yikong Power System Co., Ltd.. By introducing LBS "lying" battery cells, it not only creates higher density performance, but also reduces the thickness of the entire battery pack, effectively saving money. space inside the cabin.

According to the data, MG MULAN has an acceleration time of 3.8 seconds per 100 kilometers, a turning radius of 5.3 meters, a 50:50 front and rear axle load ratio and an ultra-low center of mass height of 490mm. There is no doubt that the theoretical performance of MG MULAN is significantly better than most SUV models currently on the market. However, theory and practice are different after all, so the final performance of the model cannot be shared with you until the actual test drive.

There is no doubt that MG MULAN has spent a lot of resources on the control and battery layout of the new car. The former is reflected in the excellent theoretical data, and the latter is reflected in the various battery protections brought by battery swapping and the new architecture. Compared with other pure electric SUVs under 200,000 yuan on the market, the performance of MG MULAN is even better, but relatively speaking, the space may have certain disadvantages. Is such "purity" an advantage or a disadvantage? , it’s not easy to evaluate yet.

But it is undeniable that the control itself is a relatively "fantasy" thing, because it is affected to a large extent by subjective consciousness, and domestic consumers have always been less "cold" in their pursuit of chassis. This can be referred to the French cars next door. Therefore, although I personally cannot comment on this overemphasis on handling performance, at least I still have doubts before test driving a real car.

written at the end

The launch of MG MULAN can be said to have brought together all of SAIC's current leading technologies, with a born-electric foundation and the ambitious goal of conquering the world. Moreover, the new car has excellent performance in various dimensions such as platform architecture, handling performance, power performance, and battery performance.

Because of this, the market performance of new cars is actually more linked to two aspects. First, potential consumers of pure electric SUVs under 200,000 yuan often have certain needs for space. Can MG MULAN meet that? Secondly, what is the final price of MG MULAN. For many consumers, especially those who have continuously upgraded their consumption, they often do not care about whether the product has shortcomings, but are more concerned about whether their consumption can be exchanged for a product experience that is equivalent or even superior value.
