First of all, the professor asked a question: "What do young people want most when buying a car today?" ”
To be honest, most young consumers are relatively blind when they buy a car for the first time, their recognition of the vehicle is relatively thin, and they do not have so many senior insights like the auto people in our industry, and more judgment criteria are only to stay at the two levels of high appearance and power.
Therefore, while building a car, manufacturers also try to fit the ideas of young users in the current era as much as possible, and meet their "tide running" attributes. As a recognized sports benchmark brand MG, it not only sucks countless powders under the dividends of the times, mechanical parts or subjective driving experience, but also can impress the mainstream of the young generation of consumers.
However, under the two generals who already have MG 6 and MG 5, MG has not stopped digging deep into the wind direction of the most sportY A-class car, and under the "traffic code" of becoming a young man, he has once again shown his trump product - MG 5 Scorpio.
In fact, when I first saw its real car, the color of the body of the passionate lemon, coupled with the cooperation of various blackened sports kits, had a taste of a small "rebellious" youth.
But! After comparing the "Internet celebrity" shadow leopard, you can find the powerful design skills behind mg 5 Scorpio, although its radical shape is not willing to make the shadow leopard weak, but in the dynamic nature, it has a domestic side, making its entire posture more attractive. After all, the unique style of Shadow Leopard is not very pleasing to most users, men, women and children.
The reason why MG 5 Scorpio is more eye-catching, the most important thing is due to the front face composed of tungsten steel, not only a simple blackening treatment, through special milling processing, shaping the effect of black chrome plating, in addition to improving the brightness, but also creating the ultimate blackening texture, in the official saying, called "blackening advanced play", anyway, as a user, good looks are the most important.
The split headlight group on both sides is also a more popular design style at the moment, the "Y" shape of the light bar style, the recognition after lighting is certainly indispensable, the sports temperament also pinches the psychology of young people, and in the lighting effect, the real shooting car also uses a full LED light source.
In terms of the body shape of the side, the element of slipping back is also a plus, the smooth shape is more soothing, the visual effect is elegant a lot, and as a home, it can also make a good impression on the parents at home. In terms of size, in fact, there is not much difference with MG 5, with length, width and height of 4695/1842/1480mm, and wheelbase of 2680mm.
In addition, it is worth saying that although mg 5 Scorpio is an entry product of the family, the choice of tires uses the Michelin PRIMACY 3 ST (Haoyue 3) series, paying more attention to the quiet, comfortable and grip of driving, which is the icing on the cake for driving quality, and the cost of the cost is also "big money".
To the tail is more than the front face, in fact, the impact of the sports style is more sufficient, the tail wing, bilateral four-out exhaust port, the lower spoiler are all sets that young consumers want, directly pulling the face value full, can completely "C position" debut. The tail light group, using a concentrated beam LED light source, the effect of the internal light strip, on a word "dazzling".
And you don't think it's just a "look goods", in fact, mg 5 Scorpio is equipped with "real" sports exhaust, after the development team's tuning, the real sports exhaust sound wave, to create an auditory feast, and even every shift, there is also a small tempering sound, making people adrenaline soar.
Although mg 5 Scorpio is essentially inseparable from MG 5, there are changes in the car, changing to the popular design concept of double screen, and adding a metal brushed panel and a yellow seat belt as an embellishment in the details to enhance the rich sense of layering.
The 12.3-inch dual screen, with the help of IPS display technology, the reduction of screen color is quite delicate and vivid, and its clarity is not officially announced, but the professor believes that the effect of 4K should be achieved. You know, its future price is only 100,000 yuan, and the cost of this pile of materials is really enough.
In addition, the car machine system is equipped with the latest Zebra Roselle system, and the internal functions integrate the functions of car map, cool me music, mango TV, etc., and can also expand the required application software through the built-in app store.
What's more, as an A-class sedan, mg 5 Scorpio is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image that can be overlooked, if it is placed in some joint venture brand models, it may still be struggling with whether to give you a reversing radar function... This is really suspected of "showmanship".
In addition, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip also appeared on the MG 5 Scorpio, which maximized the computing power of the system, so that in the process of operation, whether it is fluency or reaction speed, there is no hint of caton, which is more suitable for the use of intelligent technology.
In addition to the above configuration, functions such as YAMAHA audio, mobile phone wireless charging, L2 level adaptive cruise and so on can be found in the real shooting car, and the hardware is really very advanced in this price point.
However, limited by the wheelbase size of 2680mm, the back row of mg 5 Scorpio actually has some impact on its legroom, compared to the same level, the overall performance is not much abundant.
However, in order to make up for the shortcomings of mg, the filling of the rear seat cushion is quite thick and soft, and there is a sense of depression when sitting on it, which is definitely comparable to the Nissan of the sofa-style ride, and the riding feeling can leave a good impression.
Interestingly, the door handle in the MG 5 Scorpio car was moved from the upper end of the door panel to the armrest in the car, and changed from the previous pull-in type to the lifting type, but for the first time on the car, it is likely to find where the door handle is, such as the professor encountered the same scene for the first time.
As for the power is not surging this matter, MG 5 Scorpio also has a signature good play, currently equipped with a 1.5T high-power engine, the maximum horsepower of 181 horses, the maximum torque of 285 Nm, the official announcement of 100 km/h acceleration of only 6.9 seconds, and matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Judging from the account data alone, mg 5 Scorpio has the strength to break the wrist with honda civics.
However, as a domestic brand of A-class family car, can the mechanical quality really form a situation of dimensionality reduction and blow with the joint venture brand? After all, most of today's young people like to pursue speed and handling, whether this MG 5 Scorpio can be satisfied, we continue to look down.
The professor also passed the test drive at the site to do some comprehensive tests on its performance side, including acceleration, braking, Kinkana, and elk tests.
First of all, mg 5 Scorpio is equipped with a unique SUPERSPORT (Super Sport) mode, which can be switched by a button on the steering wheel, the gearbox responds faster, the steering power is more stable, and the central control screen can also display the oil pressure, turbo pressure pressure, coolant temperature, intake temperature these four data.
First of all, the jump acceleration is the favorite thing for many performance enthusiasts, and the professor has also tested its acceleration time of 100 kilometers many times. In the process of accelerating with the throttle fully open, the power output of the initial stage is still relatively fast, and it will not drag its legs because it is a dual-clutch transmission, and it can still feel a strong sense of pushing back in the body.
Of course, the action of shifting gears is not so positive after the middle section, and the overall adjustment logic is still based on smoothness, but the connection of power can still continue to complete the entire acceleration process, and there will be no power interruption layer, so the overall 100 km acceleration is still very controllable.
After all, the A-Class sedan, whether it is power release or transmission tuning, has too high expectations for the performance of intense driving, which is obviously a bit super-outlined. MG 5 Scorpio is more of a calm and calm state.
The braking performance of the brakes is still relatively remarkable, sufficient braking strength provides a strong confidence for the driver, of course, the adjustment of the MG 5 Scorpio will not have a feeling of hitting the wall with one foot, even if the full braking is also biased towards linearity, coupled with the assistance of Michelin tires, daily urban driving can also get good comfort.
The Elk test and the Kinkana are actually very testing the suspension system of a car, and the structure of the MG 5 Scorpio suspension is also a combination of the more mainstream pre-McPherson and the non-independent suspension of the rear torsion beam, but since it flaunts the name of sports, it naturally has a good side.
Indeed, the pile barrel that quickly passed the test project, the follow-up of the whole vehicle is still relatively accurate, the rapid lateral swing, the trail of the tail is still enough to understand the driver's use, and the coil spring also provides good support for the sudden lateral compression, and can still maintain a relatively stable body posture.
In addition, the rear suspension stiffness optimization, MG 5 Scorpio also gives some extreme control dynamic response, in the corner, the weight of the rear of the car offset, some small sliding phenomenon, for the front drive, in fact, can reduce the situation of the push head, this control dynamic, undoubtedly is also to enhance the fun experience of playability.
The benefits are also very obvious, if it is faced with a sudden obstacle to avoid, MG 5 Scorpio can play the sports gene in its bottom, maintain a relatively stable posture, at least will not let some novices feel a little caught off guard.
In fact, this time the experience is still relatively undoing the driving experience on the city road, but from the performance of its site test drive, the foundation of sports performance or the subjective good opening level of young users still has a good boldness.
Objectively speaking, in the 100,000 levels, mg 5 Scorpio is no worse than the same level of joint venture A-class cars, as for the judgment of the value of the face value, it will be handed back to you to judge for yourself. Anyway, MG 5 Scorpio is not untouchable.
