In fact, now, national policies have strongly supported and subsidized new energy vehicles. In addition, the oil price is indeed outrageous, and the 95-year-old oil has immediately surpassed the 9 yuan mark. This has led to many potato friends who want to buy new energy vehicles.

In fact, now, national policies have strongly supported and subsidized new energy vehicles. In addition, the oil price is indeed outrageously high, and the 95-year-old oil has immediately surpassed the 9 yuan mark, which has led to many potato friends who want to buy new energy vehicles. To be honest, many car friends are exposed to new energy vehicles for the first time and do not know the policies and performance of new energy vehicles in particular. Many friends often easily fall into pitfalls. Here are some of the pitfalls that are most likely to be taken by novices when choosing cars. Car friends who want to buy new energy vehicles recently remember to like and collect this guide!

. Installment is more cost-effective than full payment

Many friends will be confused about installment or full payment when buying a car. First of all, you must think clearly whether you need installment, clarify your own funds, and make good plans. Secondly, if installments really need them, you must consider interest-free policy or interest subsidy policy. Generally, some stores will not take the initiative to tell everyone about these, so you must make enough money, save as much as possible!!!

. Appearance control

I believe that many young ladies only look at the appearance of the car when buying a car and ignore the inner part of the car, but I think it should It’s not that I have ignored it, but that I have touched my own blind spots of knowledge, so I can only make a decision based on my appearance. In fact, there are only appearances on the market and there are still many new energy vehicles that lack internality. However, these cars have high appearances, brittle body and weak performance. If they say they are small, they will affect the driving experience. If they say they are big, they will hide safety hazards!!!

Therefore, when choosing a car, you must consider the strength of both internal and external cultivation. For example, consider the body materials and safety configurations of MG MULAN (Mulan ) The entire vehicle uses high-strength steel , which reaches 85%, L2.5-level intelligent driving, and the main and co-pilot dual airbags. It is recommended that potato friends must ask more questions and check more, such as the car emperor, etc.! Make the final choice!

. Plug-in hybrid VS pure electric

In fact, many of my friends who I have played with don’t know the difference between plug-in hybrid and pure electric. They bought hybrid car in a daze, which eventually led to an increase in fuel consumption instead of dropping. It was completely different from the new energy vehicles I knew about at the beginning. They suffered a loss with a confused look! The most intuitive method is that the battery capacity of plug-in hybrid models is very small, and they cannot be charged externally, and they cannot be driven in pure electric mode for a long distance. Generally, the energy of the battery is used in the starting state, so in the end, the fuel consumption is not saved at all, so it is recommended that friends must follow their own hearts of buying new energy...

So finally, I would like to say to all car friends that you must pay attention to the above points when buying new energy vehicles, otherwise you will be cheated in the end and you will still be stupid and don’t know it!

newly launched pure electric superpower crossover , what are the highlights of MG MULAN?

MG has always been creating the character "a sports brand for young people", and its models are mostly based on sports driving control. In the era of electrification, MG's first global electric model MG MULAN carefully created, after a lot of momentum in the early stage, the real car finally met us.

So in the field of electric vehicles, can MG still maintain its sporty feeling in fuel vehicles? Is MG MULAN, a car that claims to be the "fastest acceleration within 200,000", fun to drive? Is it worth looking forward to? We look for the answers from the test drive.

It should be noted that this test drive is a test drive on the site, with limited experience, and the test drive model is a standard rear-wheel drive version. As for the dual-motor version with a 3.8 second, it has not been seen. MG MULAN is built on SAIC Xinyun pure electric exclusive architecture, equipped with a Rubik's Cube battery and a brand new super electric drive drive system. The rear-drive version motor has a maximum power of 150kW and a 64kWh battery with a CLTC battery of 520km. However, in this year's 9th Qinghai Lake (International) Electric Vehicle Challenge, MG MULAN also achieved a test battery life of 604km. So no matter how driving control is, at least the battery life can be used.

looks extremely flamboyant and personalized

Although MG previously released the official photos of MULAN, the real car will look more touching. It is said that in order to meet the aesthetics of Chinese and European consumers at the same time, MG MULAN's appearance was jointly developed by the Chinese and British design teams of SAIC Group, integrating young sports genes and pure electric elements, which are both avant-garde and ostentatious.

front face adopts an inductive focus design, with a sharp and unique headlight group, combined with strong profile expression design elements, focusing on the MG logo, and the overall "X" outline is presented. The low-lying front of the car is paired with sharp lines and carbon fiber competitive front lip to create a good sense of sportiness.

willow-shaped headlights use matrix design and LED light source inside. The three sets of reflection units are staggered in front and back, which makes it very technological to look closely.

The unique short front and rear overhang long wheelbase design of electric vehicles can be seen on the side of the body. MG MULAN moves forward through the A column , and the wheelbase is 2705mm under the length of 4287mm, and the wheelbase is as high as 0.63. The long wheelbase not only brings a visual sense of sportiness, but also increases the performance of the interior space. In terms of size, the size of MG MULAN is very close to that of Volkswagen ID.3, and both belong to the category of small crossovers.

tires This test drive uses Continental PremiunContact C tires with 215/55 R17 specifications, focusing on handling, comfort and low rolling resistance. It is expected that the high-end model will have larger wheels, after all, 17-inch is a bit "stingy" when used in sports positioning models.

The rear design elements are also quite numerous, full of personality and technology, and are the most eye-catching side of the whole car. It is officially called the multi-dimensional functional rear. The tail shape is full and the layers are clear. If you look closely, you will feel a bit like high-quality HiPhi X.

The roof is a hollow double-spoke spoiler, with a sci-fi shape; the through-type taillight group is inspired by the Cygnus cross star, and the lighting effect is very stunning; the diffused shape at the bottom weakens the clumsiness of the rear, making the whole vehicle look solid and light.

body color, it is said that MG MULAN will have six body colors in China. The test drive models are all Andean gray, and there is not much stunning feeling at first glance. In addition, there are Congrong Green (official picture color), bright white, light speed silver, red flame red, and Brighton Blue. The overseas version also has exclusive bright orange. I personally think Congrong Green's real car will look very good.

Interior is minimalist, fashion and technology coexist

MG MULAN's interior does not continue the brand's sports design on fuel vehicles, but a brand new design language, with a simple and layered overall style. The through-type air conditioning air outlet divides the center console into two. The upper half is a 7-inch LCD instrument and a 10.25-inch floating central control screen, and the lower half is a flat-bottomed double-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a suspended gear shifting operation table.

LCD instrument display information is rich, mainly divided into three parts, the left is assisted driving information, the middle is vehicle speed and battery life information, and the right is comprehensive vehicle use information. The overall image is more intuitive, but it seems that there are not many display mode switching.

central control screen adopts an ultra-thin design, which looks very light from the side. It is equipped with a zebra car system. Judging from the experience of other models, the entertainment and practicality of the zebra system are still good. The only drawback is that the zebra system does not support CarPlay/CarLife, HiCar and other mobile phone interconnection mapping functions.

double-spoke multi-function steering wheel is relatively small in size, looks very delicate and feels comfortable to hold. The square multifunction keys on both sides are not traditional press-type interactions, but are similar to the rocker on the game controller. You can just put your thumb up and down and move left and right, and the touch is pretty good.

In fact, MG MULAN also has a red and white color interior that pays tribute to the red and white game consoles. This is a bold cross-border cultural attempt. It should be very interesting for post-80s and 90s who came from the red and white game consoles. Unfortunately, there are only renderings now, and I haven't seen the actual car.

knob gear shift table has a wireless charging area for mobile phones, and the floating design is full of technology. The advantage is that it can maximize the use of the storage space below, which is improved practicality. In addition, a semi-through design is formed in the front row, which is more conducive to the interaction between the main and co-pilot.

space is better than expected

0 Since MG MULAN is very close to Volkswagen ID.3 in size, you might as well compare the space performance of the two cars. The two experienced people are about 1.8 meters tall. It can be seen that the space between the two cars is not much different. The front and rear heads can basically have about one punch, and the rear leg space has also reached two punches. For small cars, such space performance is already a leading achievement compared to fuel vehicles of the same level. It can be seen that the long wheelbase of electric cars can indeed bring space advantages.

In addition, MG MULAN seats are wide and soft. The seats are thickly filled and have good wrapping properties on both sides. They take into account the visual sportiness and ride comfort. Unfortunately, there is no headrest in the middle of the rear seats.

Although MG MULAN is known as the "two-hammer-half-tail" design, it is limited by the body size and the tailgate space is not large. It is estimated that it is similar to Volkswagen ID.3, and the capacity is estimated to be around 350L. Fortunately, the trunk is flat, and the rear seats support a 4/6-round folding ratio. After being folded down, the entire trunk can also form a complete plane, the threshold is not high, and it is very practical.

Driving has a certain amount of sports fun

It is known that the MG MULAN full-series rear-wheel drive currently has a low-end version with a maximum power of 125kW and a high-end version with a maximum power of 150kW; the 150kW version was also tested this time. In addition, there is also the unseen dual-motor four-wheel drive version, with a maximum power of 330kW (first 150kW + rear 180kW), and a peak torque of 600N·m. According to the official announcement, its acceleration from 0-100km/h only takes 3.8s. This result is almost on the same level as NIO ET7 and Zekr 001, but its price is expected to not exceed 200,000 yuan.

Because this is a test drive of the venue project, there is no chance to experience the output characteristics of the power carefully. Thanks to the rear drive layout and electric drive characteristics, MG MULAN is still very powerful to start and accelerate, and it is more than enough for daily transportation. However, due to the limited venue, there is no chance to experience the explosive power of the rear section of the vehicle.

In fact, what MG MULAN has always wanted to show its handling performance. After all, it has a full-series rear-drive + five-link independent suspension, a 50:50 axle-load ratio and a low center of gravity of 490mm. It would be a pity to have such a hardware configuration without showing off its handling performance.

gave us a few minutes of drift performance at the event site. I won’t comment on whether it’s good or not. What I want to say here is that although MG MULAN can drift, drift is not daily, nor is it the core advantage of MG MULAN. In theory, rear-drive cars can drift. If you buy MG MULAN for drifting, then you will lose the money.

From the test drive experience, MG MULAN has a sporty side and a comfortable side. First of all, the entire car is sporty in terms of its lower sitting position, tight steering ratio, heavy feel and clear road sense, giving you the desire to drive and control it. The axle-load ratio and lower center of gravity of

50:50 can indeed bring about improvements in control. In the pile-rounding link, the front of the car is faster to follow, and the rear drive also makes the rear swing more flexible. The control is very "following", so it can be easily completed.

It should be noted that the steering ratio of MG MULAN is only 14.8, which is much smaller than the 16.2 of Volkswagen ID.3, which also makes it more sensitive to steering. When you first come into contact with it, if you follow your usual experience, you may turn the steering wheel too much, but after getting familiar with it, you will feel very happy, and it feels a bit tighter as if you drive racing .

But the suspension adjustment is not as sporty as expected. It may be that it has been adjusted comfortably for domestic road conditions. It is very comfortable when passing through continuous speed bumps, and there is no stiff impact in the car.In addition, from the curve situation, the body is still a bit tilted, and the suspension bounces through the speed bump is not as straightforward as Volkswagen ID.3, and the overall texture of the chassis still has room to improve.

Summary: Overall, MG MULAN still has some brands that inherit sports experience in the fuel vehicle field, and it still has a certain amount of driving pleasure. But if I want to compare with some real "little cannons", such as Volkswagen ID.3, I would prefer the driving control feeling of ID.3. Of course, if we consider factors such as price, configuration and battery life, if the price of the MG MULAN rear-wheel drive version is between 130,000 and 150,000 yuan, then it also has a reason to buy, because it has a cost-effectiveness and a much longer battery life than Volkswagen ID.3. If Volkswagen ID.3 is a family car among sports cars, then MG MULAN is a sports car among family cars. For those who want to experience the sense of sport but pay attention to home practicality, MG MULAN is still very worth recommending.
