As the first sports model under SAIC's global modular architecture SIGMA, SAIC MG ONE has attracted the attention of many young consumers as soon as it was released. The new car not only provides two styles of appearance, but also has hardware endorsements such as Zebra Roselle Intelligent Cockpit System, Qualcomm Snapdragon Flagship 8155 Chip, and 30-inch Surround Smart Triple Screen, so that consumers can feel that fuel vehicles can also have intelligent technology like electric vehicles. So how to buy a new car? I believe that after reading this article, it will be clear.
MG ONE offers two different styles, namely the α model that focuses on digital intelligence sports and the β model that is technologically fashionable. However, due to the difference in the chips on board the two models, affected by the shortage of global chip supply, only 3 α models were launched this time, and the price range was 107,800-12.98 million yuan.
First, a brief description of the model
In terms of appearance, MG ONE adopts the latest design language of the family and offers two front face styles. Among them, the front grille of the α model adopts radial design, and the visual effect is quite deep; the interior of the front grille of the β model adopts a large number of horizontal design elements, and the visual effect is more sporty.
The sides and tails of the car are the same, and the B/C/D columns on the side are treated in black, creating a visual feel on the top of the hovering car, while the higher waistline also helps to improve the visual center of gravity. In addition, the new car is equipped with a very personalized double five-spoke wheel.
The rear of the car is very full overall, and the rounded taillights on both sides also echo the headlights. Multiple prominent ridges also add a muscular feel to the rear. In addition, the bottom of the new car adopts a bilateral double exhaust decoration, which can enhance the sports visual effect to a certain extent.
In terms of tires, the low-end model is equipped with an 18-inch battle-hardened aluminum alloy two-color precision wheel hub, with a specific size of 225/55 R18; the middle and high-end models are equipped with 19-inch tomahawk aluminum alloy two-color precision wheel hubs, and also equipped with horse brand PC6 high-performance tires, with a specific size of 225/50 R19.
In terms of body color, the new car provides six body colors of bubble orange, Brighton blue, cyber gray, red flame red, obsidian black and snow mountain white, of which bubble orange is the official main color, which looks very personal, while I personally tend to be obsidian black color, with the exterior design of the vehicle, the overall is more sporty.
In terms of interior, the overall shape of the new car is very simple, and the triple LCD screen design on the center console greatly enhances the sense of technology in the car. In addition, the new car is equipped with a new generation of Zebra Roselle Intelligent Cockpit System, which is jointly built by SAIC and Ali, with DAMO engine-driven AI semantic functions, which can achieve deep intelligent voice interaction. At the same time, the system can also achieve free cross-screen interaction, intelligent human-computer interaction, deep semantic recognition and intelligent human-machine co-driving and other functions.
In addition, MG ONE is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 flagship chip, a new generation of graphics processors, a fourth-generation low-power memory technology, etc., which makes users smoother to use and greatly improves the car experience.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a MEGA Tech 1.5T Pro four-cylinder high-power engine with a maximum power of 181 horsepower and a maximum torque of 285 Nm. In terms of transmission, it is matched by the CVT280 gearbox jointly developed by SAIC and Bosch and other suppliers, and the official acceleration of 0-100km/h is 8.1 seconds.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
In terms of configuration, for a compact SUV in its early 100,000s, the MG ONE entry-level model is more balanced in all aspects. The exterior is equipped with convenient configurations such as a keyless entry system in the front row, automatic folding of the rearview mirror lock car, LED headlights and automatic headlights, as well as an openable panoramic sunroof that is popular with domestic consumers. Inside, it is equipped with a keyless start, leather steering wheel, automatic air conditioning and a 4D transparent chassis system, but the seat is still manually adjusted, and the daily use is slightly unchanged. In terms of safety configuration, the new car is equipped with rear parking radar, 360-degree panoramic imagery, uphill assistance and steep slope mitigation, which can meet the daily use of families. On the whole, the configuration performance of the MG ONE entry-level model is quite good, but some of the convenience configurations related to daily use are missing, so they are not recommended.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Through configuration comparison, Xiaobian recommends the top version to you, that is, the 1.5T advanced version. Specifically, the middle model has a considerable amount of rich configuration than the entry-level model, first of all, the wheel rim is upgraded from 18 inches to 19 inches, the visual effect is more atmospheric, followed by the configuration of the remote start, 12.3-inch LCD instrument, mobile phone wireless charging, sports seats, main driver seat ESC, front seat heating, 256 color atmosphere lights, and temperature partition control, etc., convenience and comfort have been greatly improved, the price is only 10,000 yuan more, cost-effective.
However, the top model also has more MG PILOT 2.0 auxiliary driving system than the middle version, including lane departure, active braking, mobile phone remote parking, automatic parking and other rich functions, and also exclusive 3 millimeter wave radar, which has been significantly improved in safety and intelligence. At the same time, the configuration also has more practical configurations such as the auxiliary seat ESC, YAMAHA Yamaha audio and adaptive far and near light, and although the price needs to be increased by 12,000 yuan, the price of 129,800 yuan is still within the reasonable range of the compact SUV. So on the whole, if you're looking at mg one models, the 1.5T Advanced Edition of the α Digital Sports Series deserves your priority.
