[Pacific Auto Network Review Channel] The third-generation MG 6 conducted a closed-road test drive at the Shanghai Tianma Racing Stadium. This is also the first time that the new MG 6 has been opened for a dynamic experience. As one of the representative models of domestic compact sports sedans, the new car has undergone considerable upgrades in the engine and gearbox levels compared to the old model. The transmission has been increased from the original 169 maximum horsepower to the maximum horsepower of 181 maximum horsepower, and the transmission has been changed from the original 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission to the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
has improved such a great effort, and I am more interested in dynamic test drives of the vehicle. The good cornering performance of the old model is still fresh in my memory. I don’t know what kind of strength the third-generation MG 6 will have in this comprehensive improvement.
More sporty strength
Thanks to this SAIC Blue Core 2.0 MEGA TECH new generation 1.5T PRO engine, we can feel the obvious push-back feeling when we start. When the speed reaches about 2000 rpm, the entire vehicle has extremely strong traction. The maximum torque of 285N·m can explode in an instant, and at the same time, the transfer of the new axle load is also very stable in the initial stage. In the case of rapid acceleration, only a little head-up phenomenon of the front wheels exists.
For such a venue test, I adjusted the new car to sports mode. Since it was slightly raining, ESC was not turned off. The new car's two black technologies have given the driving confidence. EPS-Pro Electronics Power Steering has three dynamic compensation, namely steering torque compensation, crosswind compensation and smooth road vibration compensation. In my actual experience, the steering feel is very follow-up. Not only does it have good direction, but the back-up torque of the whole vehicle also makes me feel just right.
This field test drive can basically force the curve attributes of this third-generation MG 6. In terms of braking, re-acceleration and establishing the steering feel of the corners, I have all felt the improvement and progress of the new car compared to the old models. At the same time, as a sports family sedan, if it can put some effort into the suspension, it must be a model with both sports genes and strength at this level.
The most commendable thing about the new car is the newly equipped gearbox. The 14V high-voltage motor control system allows the displacement pressure of each gear to be controlled neatly. At the same time, a closed-loop nested program of bidirectional PID is adopted, and TITM control is adopted. The overall feeling is that the dragging feeling is obviously reduced at low speeds. The three-chamber lubrication technology allows the transmission to maintain extremely high sensitivity when operating at high loads. For example, in the full throttle stage of cornering, the maximum torque section of 1500~4000rpm will be cleverly downshifted and raised the speed.
Quickly review the new car: the interior and exterior decoration is also significantly improved
The appearance route of the new MG 6 is "burning the sensuality". The new car is upgraded: the native wide-body kit, particle streamer taillights, lightweight European sports car tail... The new car will provide red flame red, obsidian black, pearl white, silk gray, Z generation yellow and racing green.
technology configuration part, the new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch dashboard, 10.1-inch central control screen, wireless charging of mobile phones, electronic gear handles and other configurations, and is also equipped with a Zebra Smart Connection system, which is more in line with the living habits of young consumers.
Summary
Statement of SAIC MG this time brings a third-generation MG 6, which can be said to be an improvement from the inside out. First of all, the appearance part is getting closer to the appearance of a joint venture sports personalized sedan. At the same time, as the third generation model, it has gradually begun to have some family design concepts; the interior changes are not as obvious as the appearance, but some sporty bright tone stitching, including the new central control screen, have also been improved.
Of course, the most important thing is that this third-generation MG6 shows a very calm and controllable feeling in such a small track that is not considered high-speed. If we talk about it in two parts, it is that after the power of the 1.5T engine has been greatly improved, the burst torque and traction force make me satisfied; the other point is that with the XDS curve control system, the new car has strong flexibility in the short track, and it is indeed quite textured.However, as I mentioned in the previous article, if the compression rebound of the suspension part can move a little more, and the steering wheel can be "heavy" in the most sporty mode, I will be even more satisfied. It has to be said that the third generation of MG 6 has indeed made qualitative improvements. (Photo/Text/Photo: Pacific Auto Network Su Kancheng)
