"I have a car" original test drive report: Since 2015, SAIC Motor has increased its support for new energy power on the basis of the original A structure, so the SIGMA super parent architecture came into being. Based on this, the MG brand of SAIC Motor has also ushered in a new round of product layout, and MG ONE is the vanguard of this...
As the first compact SUV created by SIGMA architecture, MG ONE is basically aimed at young people, with a radical enough shape design, and Zhichao Technology, combined with the new 1.5T + CVT power combination, and strive to set a new benchmark at the same price.
▲ What is MG ONE?
The model name of MG ONE is interesting, and one of the meanings refers to No. 1, and another meaning is to show that the new car is the first original model under the SAIC SIGMA architecture, and the first SUV model based on the architecture.
Many people may be unfamiliar with saicar's SIGMA architecture, and will only briefly analyze it. The SIGMA architecture can be "translated" into SAIC's global modular architecture, and in the future, we will see more new models based on this architecture in MG and Roewe brands. The main feature of the SIGMA architecture is the integration of mechanical and intelligent features, compared with the previous A architecture can make a qualitative leap in the product strength of the new car.
Taking the intelligent technology on MG ONE as an example, the new car is equipped with MG PILOT 2.0 high-end intelligent driving assistance system, covering 5 millimeter wave radar, 4 high-definition surround view cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors, etc., which can realize ACC full speed domain adaptive cruise/automatic vehicle start-stop, AEB emergency braking, BSD blind zone monitoring, etc., these software/hardware support is enabled under the new architecture.
The launch of the new architecture is also a new intelligent solution for SAIC, even if it is not equipped with high-cost components like lidar, it can still allow users to achieve intelligent driving strategies at low cost, which can be described as a very conscientious wave, and must be praised by SAIC.
On this basis, including MG ONE in the future based on the SIGMA architecture to build a vehicle OTA capability, according to the official, the new car will soon bring a high-level intelligent auxiliary driving MG PILOT3.0 based on high-precision maps, the degree of intelligence is very advantageous at the same price.
Previously, MG took the lead in equipping the Zebra intelligent car machine system, the degree of good use of the system naturally needless to say, many years later through SAIC Group and Ali to deepen cooperation, which allows MG ONE to use the latest intelligent car machine - Roselle landed.
The characteristics of the car are mainly reflected in a more humanized identification of driver instructions, can communicate with the system more freely, and has the ability to initially learn and upgrade, combined with Qualcomm 8155 chips, including fluency, intelligence and other aspects can give a high evaluation.
▲ How does mg one open?
Powered, the MG ONE is equipped with a MEGA Tech I.5T Pro high-power engine with a maximum power of 181 horsepower (133 kW) and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, which has electronically controlled turbocharging, 350Bar high-pressure direct injection, water-cooled integrated exhaust manifold and other technologies, and matches the new CVT280 gearbox jointly developed by SAIC and Bosch.
The first feeling of the MG ONE is very relaxed, and the matching of the throttle and brakes is very mature, so that people can't fault it. The new car is fully equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine, and the 181-horsepower power reserve is basically enough for daily driving.
In addition, due to the innate advantages of the CVT gearbox, the MG ONE is particularly prominent in terms of smoothness, and the car setting is very sensitive to the driver's intentions, as long as the accelerator pedal is basically the first time to respond.
The MG ONE offers only two driving modes, one is normal mode and the other is super sport mode, the latter of which mainly makes the response of the engine and gearbox more positive, and the steering feel will also be aggravated.
The chassis has a front McPherson + multi-link rear suspension blessing, after the actual experience, MG ONE in the low and medium speed, the treatment of vibration is very in place, there is basically no vibration transmission in the car, almost will not feel any loose feeling. In the high-speed environment, it can also pull the body very well when facing the undulating road, if you look at it from the perspective of a family car, the dynamic performance of the chassis of the car can already be praised.
In fact, what impressed me most about the car was its chassis support, and the new car was very good for the cornering support at high speed dynamics, and the limit was much higher than expected. In addition, it is commendable that the STEERing feel of MG ONE, usually adjusted everywhere in the normal mode, even if it is not as accurate and direct as the real performance car, but in the early 100,000 price point, it has been counted as a very good level.
In addition, the car tires also use the horse brand PC6 series, overtaking lane change and turning more confidence, while the grip is also good, with XDS corner dynamic control system, high-speed cornering dynamic performance is also satisfactory enough.
▲ What kind of MG ONE is a SAIC MG SUV?
The color scheme of the α version of the test drive is an exclusive bubble orange paint surface, and the color is indeed eye-catching. In addition, MG ONE also uses the third generation of design language, the bionic preschool face is like a shark with an open mouth, and the visual impact is quite strong. The rear has a suspended roof, a segmented waistline, etc., coupled with a two-color body and a good enough taillight, which coincides with its own sporty style.
The LED daytime running lights are three-stage design, the visual effect is very outstanding when lit, and the steering function is integrated in the area, while the taillights are blackened and similar to the "rotor" engine, and the recognition is also very good.
The MG ONE uses a 19-inch petal-like rim, with a 225mm horse brand PC6 and orange brake calipers, which is really beautiful. In addition, the imitation four-out exhaust shape is a bit too forced, in fact, the exhaust pipe of the bilateral single is hidden in the lower part of the chassis, which will make people feel violated.
The car mainly pays attention to the sense of fashion and technology, of which the driver's front 30-inch wrap-around line triple screen design is very eye-catching, with a large area of soft materials wrapped, the overall sense of grade is not bad.
The 30-inch wrap-around line triple screen is mainly driver-centric, built-in Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8155 chip, including system response, speech recognition rate, etc. There is nothing to say. It is also worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with Yamaha audio, in addition to the built-in multiple sound effects, this time also built a speaker in the main driver's headrest, which will bring an immersive experience.
The new integrated sports seat adopts the same color scheme as the interior, and the shape is very attractive, getting rid of the visual fatigue of the traditional family car seat, and combining the sporty atmosphere with a comfortable driving experience. Keep the front seat unchanged, the rear head space remains more than one punch away, and the leg space is also about 1 punch, and the space performance is worth affirming.
"I have a car" summary: MG ONE undertakes the heavy responsibility of the MG brand upwards, but also can feel the sincerity of its product strength, the overall design and materials, workmanship are at a high level, coupled with relatively excellent driving performance and intelligent technology, it is expected that the future will be favored by many young users.
