In the past few days, I participated in a test drive activity of MG ONE " Sichuan-Tibet Tour ". I set out from Chengdu city, went to Mugecuo, Kangding, ran to % off mountainous , climbed Yala Snow Mountain , passed Danba , and also stayed in Luding...
I originally wanted to write a travel note, share with you the beautiful scenery, talk about food, and talk about the car, but after getting along with this car for a few days, it makes me feel that MG ONE has many feelings and discoveries worth talking about.
so let’s skip the beautiful scenery and food, and focus the article on the car. Before the article begins, my brief summary of MG ONE is: MG needs such an SUV, which is the beginning of transformation.
I believe many people's impression of the MG brand is still on models such as Ruiteng, Ruixing and second-generation MG 6. The existing products ZS and HS have also been on the market for many years, but they still haven't had much splash. Faced with new competitors every few days, it's time for MG to make a change.
From MG5, MG 6 PRO to MG's pilot, and to today's MG ONE, MG intends to use a brand new product line to get rid of the phenomena of low recognition of past models and poor product experience.
In other words, the existing new products are a strategic reconstruction, and MG ONE has changed a bit about my understanding of the brand is still in the ZS and HS generations.
owners who drive past MG dual-clutch models should have a lot of experience with " stuttering ". Take the second-generation MG6 as an example. The power is hysteresis, the gear shift logic is chastic, the chassis shock filtering effect is poor, and the sound insulation is not satisfactory. It can be said that this car has gathered many shortcomings that consumers cannot accept.
However, MG ONE delivered another answer, let’s start with the dynamics of the car: has good sound insulation, the gearbox is smooth, the chassis is not so bumpy, and it has become easier to drive.
After passing through large undulating roads, the suspension is very willful, and the whole vehicle is not obviously thrown and jumping. The suspension will pull the entire body and allow the vehicle to drive steadily against the ground. This process can feel that the suspension is softer.
When the road surface is relatively rough, MG ONE shows too much road sense feedback. Whether it is small cracks on the road surface or road surface line trough with increased friction, the driver can feel the road surface information transmitted from the chassis. If viewed from the orientation of a family car, this road sense is transmitted slightly more in the cruise state.
is a bit deficient. When the vehicle passes through a higher speed bump, the rear suspension does not handle the body jumping enough, and there is excess rebound at the rear of the car. At this time, the tightness of the suspension is not enough. If this detail can be handled well, the overall texture of the chassis will be significantly improved.
Almost all of our journeys are driving on national and rural roads, and we will pass through some dirt roads, among which mountain roads account for a very high proportion, and climbing hills and sharp bends are almost daily driving scenarios.
Under this road condition, the MG ONE shows good body posture control, the roll amplitude is not high during sharp corners, and the integrated sports seat has a good ergonomic design, which can wrap the driver. At this level, the suspension still shows good toughness in the support of the body.
It is worthy of recognition that the entire chassis of MG ONE has texture. It will not make you feel loose or cheap. The integrated chassis feels much better than previous products, and the noise transmitted from the window and the chassis into the car is not very high, but there is still room for improvement in wind noise suppression during high-speed cruising.
MG ONE is equipped with a top ten engines with a maximum power of 181 horsepower and a peak torque of 285 Nm. Judging from the data, it is in the top camp.
In order to improve the overall performance of the engine, 350Bar overpressure fuel direct injection technology, dual independent adjustment DVVT, water-cooled integrated exhaust, and Honeywell high-flow turbine all appear on it.
This way we drive in the plateau every day. From Chengdu city at an altitude of hundreds of meters, to Kangding , Yala Snow Mountain and other places, the altitude has risen to more than 3,000 to 4,000 meters. The output of MG ONE's entire power does not make people feel that they are insufficient.
especially requires overtaking all the way. After adjusting the driving mode to exercise, the high-torsion burst of stamina is still quite strong. Although the initial power step will make people feel a little flip, the output of the entire power will continue to progress after the power is connected, and there is no sense of jerk, which is a huge difference from the old MG models that used dual clutch in the past.
The new generation of MEGA Tech CVT325 high-torque continuously variable transmission has a greater torque bearing capacity, and the CVT steel belt has the characteristics of uninterrupted continuous torque conversion and uninterrupted power transmission. We can feel the enthusiasm for power response when we speed up at any time.
So from this powertrain, the smoothness is high, low torque and high torque are both good. The firewall has good sound insulation during the acceleration stage. You can hear the engine's relatively pleasant and low running sound, but there will be no noise. These points are indeed done well.
Right, MG ONE only provides two driving modes: Normal and Sport. The power response will be faster in Sport mode, and the steering wheel will turn slightly heavier. When overtaking, switching to Sport mode at any time can get better acceleration and explosive power.
After several days of experience using the car, we drove thousands of kilometers, and the road conditions were mainly mountain roads. There were many road conditions for various emergencies and sudden brakes. The accelerator control is not gentle at all in terms of driving habits, and we often use sports mode.
In this kind of car use scenario, MG ONE can actually achieve the fuel consumption of
The new SIGMA platform has a great improvement in the impression. Its power output is much smoother, its response is more positive, engine noise optimization, and the NVH improvement in the car are all incomparable to old products. It is a major feature of MG ONE to drive better . If compared with models such as Boyue X of the same level, MG ONE will not lose in terms of chassis texture.
purely from the perspective of consumers, the third-generation MG 6 cannot attract my attention, because the overall changes are too small with the second-generation MG 6 and ZS/HS. Although it advocates the sporty design concept and the new car is more refined, it is not subversive enough that MG models give me the inherent perception.
MG 6 PRO
But starting from MG 5, we saw MG seeking change, and MG 6 PRO made me feel that this is the subversion that the third generation of MG 6 should have.
So when I came to MG ONE, the larger hexagonal grille contour combined with the parameterized radial center grid, the freshness and impact of MG ONE's entire visual is incomparable to old SUV products in the past.
MG ONE β-hunting front face
In addition, MG ONE also provides the option of "integrated double-sided", with the β-hunting front face kit, which further enhances the flat and wide ratio of the front face, and has the sonic grille to support it. However, all the models we tested this time are α-facing versions.
MG ONE adopts the " sprint flag " headlight design, with three LED daytime running lights interspersed with each other. From the outside, the three-dimensionality of the lamp cavity is very high, and the exquisiteness and technological flavor of the lamp group are all blessed. This original design is very eye-catching.
In addition, the taillight of the hurricane eye is also a part of the outstanding performance. Although the official call the interior a vortex three-dimensional structure, from the illumination effect, it also looks like the rotor engine , and the sense of power of the double waistline is directly outlined to the taillight. With the 19-inch arms blade axe wheel hub, the posture of the whole vehicle is very sporty.
especially the downward pressure front + square wheel bag + visual rear center of gravity proportional design, which makes MG ONE more dynamic and also has more proportional beauty, which is a different design concept from previous SUV products.
MG ONE vehicle size is 4579*1866*1617mm, and the wheelbase is 2670mm. It is not as good as competitors such as the same class Haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS, etc., but with a slightly Cross style, the car posture ratio will be more streamlined.
MG ONE is MG's first SUV model with triple-screen design. Compared with a number of suspended and embedded central control screen styles, MG ONE also breaks away from the inherent family product design routine.
MG ONE integrates the control buttons such as automatic headlights, exterior mirror adjustment, door lock, Bluetooth, etc. in the touch panel on the leftmost. Although the driving process is not very convenient, these functions are used at a low frequency and have little impact on driving convenience. Together with the two 12.3-inch full LCD displays on the right, they form a 30-inch visual display effect.
MG new Zebra Luoshen intelligent cockpit system is built on AliOS. Let me say a few points first:
3, has immersive Yamaha music cockpit, and the Yamaha brand logo is available at the audio.
4. Use the latest automotive-grade Snapdragon 8155 chip, which has stronger and faster information and image processing and driving capabilities.
After driving for a few days, I also experienced this car system in depth. There are several places that are quite useful. The 360-degree transparent visual function of 4D full-view is very useful when passing through narrow roads and parking. It can also adjust the body's transparency by 50%. The whole vehicle is composed of 4 high-definition cameras and 12 ultrasonic radars to observe the surrounding environment of the vehicle.
MG ONE is also equipped with the MG PILOT 3.0 intelligent driving system, which has high-precision map lane-level navigation capabilities, which is the first fuel model with this capability in its class. The full-speed ACC car follower function is more useful. It has indeed helped me relieve a lot of fatigue during the long cruising sections of the road.
However, the algorithm calibration of lane centered is relatively preliminary. When the vehicle approaches or presses the lane line, the system will intervene to control and correct the vehicle back to the right, and will not continue to be centered for fine adjustment during the driving process. Therefore, the driver still has to control the steering wheel and improve his attention. As for the functions of automatic lane change when turning on the light, it is of course not available.
1. The main driver's seat has a private headrest speaker. When making phone calls, only the driver can clearly hear the sound coming from the headrest. The passenger and the passenger in the back seat cannot listen, and the privacy is better.
2. When the car computer is playing music, the navigation prompt sound will only sound at the headrest speaker and will not interrupt the normal playback of the music. This is a good experience.
3. The main driver's seat is well wrapped, the sponge is thick, and it won't be tired after sitting for a long time. The disadvantage is that the seating position cannot be adjusted lower, and the seat height adjustment is only 2 directions, does not support 4 directions, and it is not easy to find a suitable sitting position with a steering wheel that only adjusts up and down, especially for users who like to sit down.
4. The length of the rear seat is relatively short and the backrest does not support adjustment. However, if these two places are barely acceptable, the rear headrest needs to be optimized. The angle is too forward, the neck cannot be leaned back, and the neck is prone to soreness after a long time.
5. The front storage space can be increased, and only 1 USB interface is not enough (with wireless charging). The electric tailgate configuration can be added to the medium and high-end configuration.
MG ONE is about to be launched this month. I would think this is MG's most outstanding compact SUV at present, and it can be put into a group of independent and joint venture compact SUVs to compete.
From the product matrix, MG needs to reorganize its own models, such as MG 5, MG 6 PRO, Pioneer and MG ONE, which can all be regarded as new runway products for brand establishment.
The past was too conservative and convergent, and it was not suitable to compete with the opponents in the present. However, the launch of these new products can be regarded as a transformation of MG Gauge. At least I can remember the ostentatiousness of MG 6 PRO and the dynamicity of MG ONE. Products such as MG 6 and ZS are indeed step-by-step products, and the offensiveness of the market is not strong.
To be honest, if I had been in the past in the 100,000-150,000-150,000 products, I would rarely think of MG and recommend others to buy it, but this time MG's changes gave me a new understanding. Now, it is also worth being included in the shopping list. If you have sincerity in making products, you can be seen. As long as you are in the right direction, you can run.
