Some time ago, I made a video of recommending small electric cars, which recommended BYD Dolphins, Volkswagen ID.3 and smart Elf #1. Some friends in the background commented that MG MULAN is also good. As a pure electric hatchback sedan that has just been launched, MG MULAN has indeed attracted a lot of attention. So is it worth buying?
hatchback style conforms to the aesthetics of young people
At present, domestic electric cars are polarized among private buyers. Young people with small budgets buy electric cars like Wuling Hongguang MINI EV or BYD Dolphin. In addition, most people are focusing on high-end electric cars, such as Tesla or models of new car-making forces. Although they are relatively expensive, they are excellent in power, configuration and intelligent driving, and have some advantages that many traditional models do not have. The electric vehicle market of tens of thousands is basically covered by the travel market.
In order to give everyone more choices, SAIC MG launched MULAN, a product that pleases young people. The design adopts a relatively young hatchback shape. The X-shaped front is like an arrow, and the side of the car also uses sharp double waistlines, equipped with red orange calipers, which looks quite sporty. The tail is equipped with a double tail wing, and the slender tail lights that are spit out also become the focus of the tail. From a design perspective, MG MULAN creates a strong sense of sportiness. In addition, there are also bright colors such as pink, green and red in the color scheme. The interior of
is simple but not simple
MG MULAN adopts a minimalist design, and the focus of the entire cockpit is on the 7-inch full LCD instrument and the 12.25-inch central control large screen. As a car specially designed for young people, it must be in place for smart configuration. The entire MULAN series is equipped with Zebra Venus 2.0 intelligent system, which supports 90-second continuous dialogue, car-home interconnection, personalized big data navigation, remote control, etc. In terms of smart interconnection, MG has always done a good job. After all, all its models are taking the younger route and their functions must meet the preferences of young people.
As an electric car called a small steel cannon, the steering wheel of MULAN is very small, and the upper and lower sides adopts a straight shape, which is visually sportier than the circular steering wheel. In addition, the front seats are relatively well wrapped, and the color-blocking design is more personalized than monochrome.
exclusive electric platform
MG MULAN is built on SAIC Xinyun pure electric platform. Although its length is only 4287mm, its wheelbase reaches 2705mm, and the four wheels are basically at four corners. The short front overhang and short rear overhang maximize the interior space. Since it is a pure electric platform, its front and rear axle load ratio reaches a perfect 50:50, and the suspension is a front McPherson independent suspension with a rear five-link independent suspension, providing two power specifications: rear-drive single motor and intelligent four-wheel drive dual motor.
power data, the maximum power of the drive motors equipped with the fashion and luxury model is 125 kilowatts and the maximum torque is 250 Nm; the driving motors equipped with the flagship model are increased to 150 kilowatts, and the maximum torque is also 250 Nm; the top four-wheel drive Triumph version has a comprehensive maximum power of 315 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 600 Nm, and the acceleration from 0-100km/h is 3.8 seconds. The performance of the four-wheel drive version is quite excellent. In terms of
battery, MG MULAN also uses CTP battery pack technology. Two low-end models are equipped with 51kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries, with a range of 425 kilometers under CLTC conditions, and two high-end models are equipped with 64kWh ternary lithium batteries. The luxury version of the single motor has a range of 520 kilometers and the four-wheel drive version has a range of 460 kilometers. How to choose the four configurations of
?
If buying a car is just for daily transportation, then the two low-end models are quite outstanding in cost-effectiveness. They are simply used as grocery car cars, and the power does not need to be very strong. The entire smart car system is standard. Although the comfort configuration is relatively not so complete and there is no intelligent driving assistance, the price is relatively much lower.
As for the two high-end models, the main difference is that one is a single motor rear-wheel drive and the other is a dual motor four-wheel drive. The top-fit four-wheel drive is priced at 23,000 yuan, and the configuration is a panoramic skylight, sports seats, Alcantara wrapped in the steering wheel and seats, driver's seat electric lumbar support, etc. If you don’t care about the power performance, you can usually drive the flagship version of the rear-wheel drive very well. After all, its motor power is 25 kilowatts more than the two low-end ones.
From a publicity perspective, SAIC MG defines MULAN as a small steel cannon electric car. If you buy a low-end, it is obviously inconsistent with its positioning, so I prefer to recommend the 520km flagship version. This car has relatively stronger performance, more comprehensive configuration, and the longest battery life among the four cars. Overall, the most cost-effective.
summary:
is the first model built by MG's pure electric platform. MULAN is more personalized in positioning. Since it is a model for young consumers, its pricing is not very high. The two low-end models are also very cost-effective as daily scooters. Of course, if you want to experience better driving control and configuration, high-end models are not very expensive, especially the 520km flagship version, with the highest comprehensive four configuration recommendation index.
