The Dreasy Car of the editor's childhood is a car in the anime "Four Wheel Drive Brothers" called Scorpio. As the chariot of the Chinese team members in the animation, although it did not beat the protagonist model of the Xingma Brothers, its unique appearance and brilliant performance made the editor remember it. Its status in my mind is much higher than that of the protagonist's car. A few years ago, the editor bought a genuine Scorpio from Tamiya and got the first Dream Car in his life. And now, a few years later, There really is a Scorpio in China!
On March 3, 2022, SAIC MG released a new sports compact sedan, the MG5 Scorpio, which will adopt a more sporty design and focus on the young market. The new car will be equipped with an exaggerated front grille, which is quite eye-catching with the sharp headlight set. In the rear part of the car, the new car is equipped with a more aggressive style of black spoiler, as well as a bilateral four-out exhaust, it is worth mentioning that the four-out exhaust of this car is really four-out, but it is not used to scare people.
With such a sporty shape, the power naturally has to keep up. Mg 5 Scorpio will be equipped with a new MEGA Tech 1.5T high-power engine four-cylinder engine, this machine has a maximum power of 181 horsepower, peak torque of 285 Nm, coupled with a pair of 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, such a power performance, in terms of the same level is relatively excellent.
According to the official, the engine uses 350bar ultra-high pressure fuel direct injection technology and ePower Control electronic control turbine technology, with high-flow supercharger, high-flow liquid cooling system, reinforced cylinder block/cylinder head and other original high-performance enhancement kits. Its gearbox adopts three-chamber honeycomb technology, and the clutch cavity, gear cavity and hydraulic control module are separated from the three chambers, which can minimize the clutch towing torque while improving ride and transmission efficiency. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with EPS PRO electric power steering system, XDS curve dynamic control system, etc.
The interior is equipped with a new set of dual 12.3-inch screen design, with the metal brushed panel of the center console and the fluorescent trim strip on the edge of the gear handle, which further enhances the sense of technology and fashion in the car. In the 12.3-inch multimedia screen, it is equipped with a new generation of Zebra Roselle intelligent cockpit system jointly created by SAIC and Ali, with a built-in vehicle specification-level 8155 chip, which can process faster and realize free cross-screen interaction, intelligent human-computer interaction, deep semantic recognition, intelligent human-machine co-driving and other functions.
This car is mainly aimed at, there is no doubt that it is a young user, whether it is the design of the appearance or the collocation of the interior, all of which directly poke the hearts of young people, which young people will not like it. With the continuous rejuvenation of the car buyer population, major manufacturers are aiming at this track, and the future may be the situation of "young people win the world".
In addition to the MG5 Scorpio, the earlier release of GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, Changan UNI-V and the earlier Lynk & Co 03 are all models launched in line with the law of the market mainly for the young market, and both in terms of popularity and sales, have a very good performance. Compared with these competitors, the competitiveness of MG5 Scorpio is not bad at all, and I believe that it can also have good market performance in the future.
Auto Network Review: The emergence of MG5 Scorpio proves that the current auto manufacturers attach importance to the young market.
The models on the market are all undergoing young changes, whether they are joint venture brands or domestic brands. Chinese brands pay more attention to the young people's market, because they know that after the reform and opening up, China's economic level has improved rapidly. The consumption level of contemporary youth has been greatly improved, and it is not uncommon to buy a car in their early 20s or even as an adult. Therefore, all major domestic manufacturers have riveted their efforts to this aspect, which is very good news for us. The rise of domestic models has made us see the hope of CDM appearing and even developing and growing, which is good news for the development of China's automotive culture!
