Today's SUV market competition is fierce, even if the appearance of many models is windy, but there is no space as unpopular, in addition, some models of power performance is good, but the fuel consumption is high, consumers are not willing to choose such models, and some models are good in all aspects, that is, the price is high, naturally can not enter the eyes of consumers. This year's play is a comprehensive quality, no short board of the car, in order to stand out in the market. Of course, so much is just to verify today's protagonist: MG Pilot.
(The pictures in this article are all 300TGI automatic two-wheel drive combustion deluxe version)
The price of MG Pilot is not expensive, starting from 99,800 yuan, divided into 1.5T and 2.0T two major versions, of which the most expensive 2.0T model is 159,800 yuan, compared to many joint venture models of the same level are more affordable, and today to introduce is MG Pilot's manual sub-low model, that is, the guidance price of 105,800 yuan 300TGI manual two-wheel drive combustion luxury version, 300TGI represents this is a 1.5T model. However, because the picture could not be found, it was replaced by a 300TGI automatic two-wheel drive combustion luxury version model, and there was little difference between the two, mainly because the gearbox was different.
From the outside, MG Navigator belongs to the new generation of design elements of the MG family, the wide mesh shape can also be seen on the entire SERIES MG5 before, and it is more imposing on SUV models such as MG Navigator, of course, the chrome trim arranged obliquely inside the net is also very recognizable, and the vertical LED daytime running lights are distributed on both sides. MG Navigator is equipped with LED automatic headlights throughout the series, which is very sincere.
Coming to the side, the MG Pilot's waistline design is very stretched, and the prominent black wheel arch can also reflect the sense of strength. Of course, the mg pilot is not large, and the 4610mm body length is generally in the compact SUV, but the wheelbase of 2720mm is very close to the level of the medium SUV. Of course, the automatic two-wheel drive combustion luxury version model uses 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which is one size larger than the manual two-wheel drive combustion luxury version model, and the tires have been upgraded from 215 to 235 width.
From the rear of the car to see the past, mg pilot shape will also be unforgettable, it uses LED taillight edge blackening treatment, the effect after lighting is still very cool, of course, the flamboyant rear spoiler tail can also highlight the movement. The exhaust pipe adopts a bilateral double-out structure, and with the diffuser design in the center of the bumper, it still has a bit of a performance car flavor.
Entering the car, the interior design of MG Pilot is in line with the aesthetics of young consumers, the center console adopts a large area of leather wrapping, after adding red stitching, it is more sporty, and the air conditioning outlet and the shift lever are also wrapped in a lot of silver trim strips, and the automatic two-wheel drive ignition deluxe version of the electronic barrier is a very technological trend configuration. Of course, MG Pilot's 10.1-inch central control touch screen is also standard in the whole series, and the performance of the Zebra Intelligent Connected Car System is also outstanding, and the voice interaction and multimedia functions are second to none in domestic models.
MG Navigator adopts a multi-functional steering wheel with flat bottom shape, which is also embellished with red stitching, while the automatic two-wheel drive combustion deluxe version is also equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, of course, the manual two-wheel drive combustion deluxe version is underserved. There is no difference between the two vehicles in the safety configuration, and they are equipped with front side airbags, reversing radar, reversing images, cruise control and other functions.
MG Pilot adopts a seat wrapped in imitation leather material, which fits well, but the automatic two-wheel drive combustion deluxe version has more main driving electric adjustment function, while the manual two-wheel drive combustion deluxe version is a full manual adjustment mode. The rear seats can basically meet the height of 1.8 meters passengers, and the central platform bulge under the feet is not obvious, and it will not feel uncomfortable for a long time.
MG Navigator is equipped with a large panoramic sunroof as standard, and the front half can be opened, which can fully take into account the ventilation and lighting needs of the driver and occupants.

In terms of power, mg pilot's 2.0T engine with 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, can get 170kW peak power, as well as 370 N·m peak torque, the power performance is very strong, but the daily commuting, 1.5T engine is also enough, after all, it can also output 127kW peak power, and 275 N·m peak torque, in the 1.5T same displacement engine is also more advanced, with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, can achieve 6.8L / The 100km NEDC has a combined fuel consumption, but the manual transmission model is even less, and the NEDC's combined fuel consumption is only 6.5L/100km.
In terms of chassis, MG Navigator adopts a combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, which is also a normal performance in the same level SUV, and the performance of the non-filter shock is general, mainly the tuning style is biased towards toughness, not the comfortable orientation, which also coincides with MG's pursuit of sporty brand tonality, but consumers do not like such a setting.
On the whole, in fact, MG Pilot's product strength performance is still very balanced, the exterior interior design is brilliant, the configuration performance is rich and intelligent, the space is powerful and the fuel consumption is economical, and the price is also very suitable, such a model after two months on the market, the sales performance can only hover in the three digits, it is indeed a bit unspeakable, mainly the problem of chassis tuning, plus the sound insulation performance is very general, so give consumers a bad illusion.
