, the young people who are favored by the times, have unique ideas and pursuits. Free, easy and comfortable, young people nowadays have their own attitudes, personalities and hobbies are very diverse. Trends are perishable, and freedom perpetuates. As an explorer of the times, the young class pays more attention to the true appearance of life, that is, material simplicity and spiritual abundance. So in terms of car selection, we never use inherent design tags to frame a space for young people. In the past, a car with a value of less than 100,000 yuan, few people would associate it with the words such as appearance and sports. However, the young people of the Z generation want their first car to be attractive and sporty. The new MG5 can meet the needs of the young people of the Z generation. The 80,000-level new mainstream running car and the MG third-generation family design language , The explosive appearance of nuclear energy yellow, million-level slip-back design, etc., these labels are enough to make the young people who are not well-stocked feel excited. On December 3, we tested the brand-new MG5 in Chengdu. Let’s take a look at this brand-new MG5.
"Million-level" slip-back design looks super dynamic.
came to the event early in the morning. Recently, the weather in Chengdu is very cold and it often drizzles. Even so, I can't help but brave the rain to enjoy the new MG5. When I first encountered the brand-new MG5, I always felt it was amazing, and it couldn't be described by sports and performance. Look at the aggressive front face, the sloping back shape, and the beautiful yellow color. It is more appropriate to describe it with the popular words "burn" and "burst". When
revolves around the car, you will find that the side of the car body also shows its beauty of strength through multiple broken lines, which further enhances the sports atmosphere. The four-door coupe's slip-back shape fully reveals the dynamic side of the car body. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4675/1842/1473mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. In terms of data, the new MG5 has a certain size advantage over popular competitors at the same level such as Geely Binrui and BYD Qin.
Look at the tail, which is much lower-key than the front, and the upturned duck tail adds a bit of sportiness. Although the taillights on both sides did not use exaggerated design techniques, the internal structure is very delicate. In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the lower bilateral co-exhaust exhaust is a decorative part, the real hidden exhaust is also a bilateral co-exhaust layout. I personally think it might be more direct. In terms of tires, the test-driving car is equipped with Michelin PRIMACY 3ST, which is more honest, and the specific specification is 215/50 R17. Such a charming entry-level model will definitely catch your eye when you take a walk on the street.
Yamaha sound blessing. The quality surpasses the same level
. Sitting in the car, the overall feeling of the new MG5 interior sports is full of technological sense, coupled with the unique Yamaha music cockpit of the same level, bringing the experience of driving a smart aircraft. The large-area red and black contrast design of the corona red sports interior has a stronger visual impact; it is equipped with a large-size sunroof with the same level of opening to make the field of vision more open. For the first time, the zero-gravity full embracing seat adopts a design layout of upper and lower colors, taking into account the principles of ergonomics. The shoulders, waist and legs are all embracing the design, which has a stronger sense of wrapping and better support for the body, thereby increasing Improved driving comfort.
12.3-inch LCD digital interactive instrument cluster is also full of sense of science and technology, which displays important driving information. In addition, there is a 10.25-inch IPS high-definition charm color screen, and a golden C-position angle tilted to the driving position by 14.1°, reflecting the driver-centered thinking. Secondly, the standard PM2.5 full-effect air dust purification system, intelligent keyless entry system, one-button start, one-button anti-pinch lift windows for the main driver, double-layer soundproof glass on the front windshield, front and rear head airbags / Air curtain, front seat heating function, etc., to enhance the comfort of the cockpit above the sense of combat. The new MG5 is equipped with super-class Yamaha audio, becoming the first domestic mass-produced model equipped with this top audio brand, and innovating to create a "music cockpit", bringing the unique trendy sound enjoyment of its class, making the journey full of fun.
The latest Zebra Venus system Hardware and system are both renewed
intelligent interconnection, the new MG5 is equipped with the latest Zebra Venus system. We are no strangers to the Zebra system. This is an interconnected vehicle system launched by SAIC earlier. More and more systematicThe ecology and design have become mature. The Zebra Venus system is jointly developed by SAIC and Ali. It supports functions such as Alipay applet access, car home interconnection, and start-up guidance. It also covers popular applications such as Gaode Maps, Kuwo Music, Himalaya FM, etc. which young people like. The new "online" MG exclusive AI assistant is smart and easy to use. The Zebra Venus system comprehensively improves the AI artificial intelligence voice car control, supports 90 seconds of continuous dialogue, only needs to wake up once to be able to continuously dialogue within 90 seconds, realizes multi-scenario voice in-depth dialogue, supports 500+ car functions full voice control, allowing the driving process Turn the complex into simple.
In addition, the new MG5 is equipped with MG Safety Fast full-time safety assistance, covering ACC adaptive cruise, LDP lane departure warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, SAS speed assist system and other rich functions.
breaks a hundred in 8.5 seconds Equipped with XDS smart cornering artifact
brand new MG5 provides 1.5L self-priming and 1.5T turbocharged power. Among them, the power of the 1.5T version is the same as that of the MG pilot. The overall performance is already very good. When placed on the smaller MG5, the acceleration time from 100 kilometers has reached 8.5 seconds. The 1.5L model is equipped with a 1.5L high-efficiency engine and MEGA Tech CVT intelligent stepless transmission. The engine is the fourth-generation product of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine independently developed by SAIC. It matches the world-class 8-speed intelligent iCVT transmission, smooth Performance and fuel economy have been blessed by the "double power", and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.7L.
This test-driving model is a 1.5T high-end version, covering a total of more than 70 kilometers from Chengdu to Dujiangyan. Let me talk about the powertrain first. This MEGA Tech 1.5T four-cylinder high-efficiency engine is also the same type of power led by MG, with a maximum power of 173 horsepower and a peak torque of 275N·m. It is matched with a 7-speed three-chamber wet dual-clutch gearbox. The overall feeling of driving down is that under normal throttle opening, the start speed is brisk, the upshift is active, and there is almost no sense of frustration. On the
highway, as the accelerator pedal advances, the engine speed continues to increase. At this time, the gearbox actively downshifts and can grasp the best shift timing. The medium and high speed overtaking can be done in one go, which is full of confidence. Thanks to the weight of the new MG 5 1.3t, the power of this 1.5T version is better and lighter than the power experience of MG Pilot. The adjustment of the
chassis is still biased towards comfort, not the kind of hard feeling expected, the front McPherson independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension is also the "standard" equipment of this class of cars. The adjustment based on comfort makes it a good filter effect, and it can also provide sufficient support when cornering. In terms of sound insulation, the quietness of this MG5 is quite good, even if it is 120km/h wind noise is not annoying, but the road noise is somewhat obvious.
It is also worth mentioning that the EPS electronic power steering system of MG5 provides three dynamic adjustments: "lightness", "standard" and "stable". This is a good thing for consumers with different needs. For example, in the "lightweight" mode, it is obviously more suitable for some female users. The steering wheel at low speed will become relatively lighter; while in the "steady" mode, it is obviously more suitable Another part of the group that loves intense driving. These modes bring different car experience to meet your different needs.
Summary of
young people nowadays all like stylish, dynamic, sharply designed cars, and it is difficult to find a car that suits them in a limited budget. Think about it, among the 80,000 yuan models, Geely Binrui, BYD Qin, Changan Yidong, these seem to be a little flat, and the new MG5 has a stylish and dynamic design style, sharp and sporty appearance, and the interior is also Not bad, it's suitable as the first one for young people. After the test drive, I feel that the configuration of the new MG5 is in place, with front seat heating, Yamaha audio, and Zebra Venus system all satisfactory. In actual road driving, the 1.5T+7-speed dual-clutch power combination is also quite powerful, and it is still very competent as a family car. From the price of less than 100,000 yuan, the new MG5 is still very cost-effective. As a young man in the Z era, it can fully meet the needs and is worth buying!
