If you want to ask which domestic car brand has always served "young people", the first thing is MG. Because young, is MG's attitude, "always YOUNG", so MG's products must be tidal, real sports, high-tech, MG5 Scorpio was born. We have already made a static detailed explanation of this new car, and its "fierce" appearance is eye-catching enough, this time we drive it up to see if it is "consistent on the surface".
A few days ago, MG5 Scorpio has opened pre-sale, a total of 3 models have been launched, the pre-sale range is 102,900-117,900 yuan, and the official also released multiple benefits, including wang fried maintenance gifts: 6 free basic maintenance in 3 years; Scorpion Exclusive Gift: The first 10,000 Trophy customers will give away a double-layer suspended scorpion tail worth 2,000 yuan.
"Sprinkle some wild" in the venue!
MG5 Scorpio is equipped with a new generation of MEGA Tech 1.5T high-power engine, with 350bar ultra-high pressure fuel direct injection technology and ePower Control electronic control turbine technology two core technologies, after retuning, its maximum power and maximum torque reached 133kW and 285Nm, respectively, this parameter is absolutely in the same class of models.
Matching the engine is a new generation of MEGA Tech 7 wet-blocking dual-clutch transmission, using the world's first three-chamber honeycomb technology, clutch cavity, gear cavity, hydraulic control module three-chamber separation, while improving ride and transmission efficiency, can minimize the clutch drag torque, while the newly re-equipped aircraft thruster gear will be full of ceremony.
Tires are also very important for the dynamic performance of a car, especially the main sports model, MG5 Scorpio original factory equipped with a specification of 215/50 R17 Michelin PRIMACY 3ST Haoyue tire, which is the pursuit of super silent effect and driving comfort experience of the tire, its use of FlexMax technology, to ensure that whether in dry land or in the wetland conditions shorter braking distance, the market price of about 900 yuan / bar.
Although it is only a simple site test drive, I still see the opportunity to drive this car to the side of the "slip", to say that this upgraded power system to cope with this compact sedan is definitely more than enough, starting or low speed and then accelerating are very brisk, the braking effect is also excellent enough, the stroke is linear, let you step very steadily, there will be no abrupt or "weak heart" feeling.
The front McPherson/rear torsion beam suspension combination is the most common in the same class, if you want to divide the high and low, it will take the power of each family, MG engineers are obviously the MG5 Scorpio for "special care", in the premise of ensuring home comfort, but also emphasized a little sportiness, such as good support, toughness over the speed bumps and so on. In addition, the structure of the rear torque beam also plays a positive role in the release of the trunk space.
The steering wheel boost can still be adjusted via the central control screen, including light/standard/calm three-stop adjustment, which is also adjusted along with the launch of SUPERSPORT Super Sport mode.
The creation of the aura must not be less, MG5 Scorpio continues the track gene of the MG model, equipped with the unique SUPERSPORT super sports mode of the same level, we have experienced in the MG higher-end models before, a key press, with the in-car atmosphere lights and instrument exclusive sports theme, instantly pull the driving atmosphere full, while the power output is more direct, the transmission response is faster, the steering power becomes more stable.
Not only the visual impact, but also the enjoyment of hearing, MG5 Scorpio is equipped with the same level of unique multi-control valve true sports exhaust sound wave, so that you do not have enough displacement aura. The car's two-sided exhaust sound wave atmosphere is stronger, the sound wave is transmitted from the outside of the car into the car with sense, the electronic control valve can be precisely controlled according to the engine operating state, the speed increase the sound wave is gradually high-pitched, and the sound wave is opened and closed to support voice and Super Sport button control.
In terms of active safety, the new car is equipped with MG PILOT 2.0 high-end intelligent driver assistance system, which provides users with a full-time protection experience such as anti-rear rear collision, anti-mistractive, anti-high beam, anti-speed, anti-blind spot and other full-time protection experience by integrating 540 ° high-definition panoramic image system, ACC full-speed intelligent adaptive cruise system, BSD blind spot monitoring system, RCW rear collision warning, AEB automatic emergency braking system. Subject to venue restrictions, this set of functions will not wait until the next open road test drive to experience well.
Thanks to the perfect combination of SAIC's advanced powertrain, the MG5 Scorpio was impressive in the acceleration test, with excellent low torque performance at the start, coupled with a small self-weight, making the car very brisk to drive, even when opening the body stability control system, it can easily break through the shackles of the ground.
The starting speed is about 2000 rpm more, the engine is very fast for the accelerator pedal, but it will not make you feel very light, and the rebound of the pedal is quite tough, which makes me feel very comfortable. After many tests, mg5 Scorpio's fastest acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 6.9 seconds, which is completely cross-level.
In terms of braking, the MG5 Scorpio seat chooses a combination of Michelin Haoyue 3 tires and a complete set of continental brake system calipers, of which the former uses FlexMax technology, through the high flexibility of the tread rubber and tire block chamfer design, so that the tires can better fit the road surface, so as to achieve in different ground conditions can grasp the ground, shorten the braking distance.
Even when I braked with all my might, I was calm, the body posture was acceptable, and the front suspension provided enough support for the inertia brought about by the shift in center of gravity. The overall braking process is also very linear, with the increase of the force of pressing the brake pedal, the braking effect will gradually increase, there is no abrupt feeling, and the overall situation is always maintained at -1g. After many tests, the MG5 Scorpio has a braking distance of 37.31 meters at 100-0km/h.
In the pile winding and elk test experience, MG5 Scorpio can still calmly cope, the body posture remains quite good, after a violent shift of center of gravity, the whole vehicle still maintains good stability, there is no large "tail flinging" tendency to occur, the tail posture also remains very good, after all, it still belongs to the category of family cars, and it is good to have such a performance.
Movement ≠ large space, does not exist!
Even if it is such a "fully armed" sports car, its home attributes can not be ignored, I will pay special attention to the performance of the interior space, which is also one of the most practical needs of our car. The MG5 Scorpio has a length, width and height of 4695mm/1842mm/1480mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2680mm, which is a very standard compact sedan size.
We found a well-proportioned male experiencer, you can clearly see that the front and rear space of MG5 Scorpio are very generous, and many friends have felt that the back design will affect the back head space, and the actual experience is beyond expectations.
To further create a great sense of space, the MG5 Scorpio's roof is integrated with the rear window to create an excellent transparent visual experience.
Looking at the storage space and trunk space in the car, the MG5 Scorpio still performs well, both in terms of layout and practicality, and is also equipped with a non-full-size spare tire.
The interior and exterior design fills the performance and technology sense
How to stimulate the "hormones" of a model, then first you have to have a fierce front face. The MG5 Scorpio adopts the largest front-in-the-middle net design in its class, which has long been a typical feature of sports models. Not only that, MG5 Scorpio also adds black chrome plating to the front grille, tungsten steel black can further enhance the brightness, allowing you to distinguish the same level, black out of the sense of luxury. Putting the LOGO on the cover is also the usual method of performance cars, catering to the shape of the low front, which looks very characteristic, but also does not affect the intake efficiency. In addition, the newly designed radome fits perfectly with the front grille, which is quite difficult to complete, which shows the intentions of MG designers.
The new lightsaber split headlights are another major design highlight of the MG5 Scorpio front face, which is inspired by the lightsaber in the science fiction movie, echoing the front net, which can better strengthen the combat temperament of the whole vehicle.
The downward pressure of the front and the swooping posture are the typical symbols of the sports car, mg5 Scorpio is very well pinched, not too much, intended to achieve the ideal visual balance, coupled with the classic two-stage waistline and slipback shape, the overall creation of an excellent visual effect. MG5 Scorpio adds passion lemon to the existing bright color scheme and is full of vitality.
The tail is a good continuation of the dynamic style of the whole vehicle, the shape is bumpy, the new concentrated beam taillights are highly recognizable when lit, and the black tail and the true bilateral four-out exhaust emphasize the sports gene of mg5 Scorpio.
It is worth mentioning that the Trophy model provides the Trophy Black Samurai Sports Kit, including smoked black wheels, blackened rearview mirrors, blackened side window trims, as well as red calipers, yellow seat belts, Supersport Super Sport mode, bilateral true four-out tail row, etc.
Coming to the car, it is still MG's latest interior design concept, the asymmetrical shape with bright color trim is very fashionable, and the layout of the double screen effectively enhances the sense of technology. Looking at the interior workmanship and materials of mg5 Scorpio, it uses large-area soft materials, brushed metal, flare black chrome and other materials to bring a more exquisite visual experience.
The surprises are much more than that, the new car interior door panel integrates the inner door handle into the armrest position, making it look more simple and refreshing overall, plus sports atmosphere lights, track-style gear shift modules, etc., full of details.
MG5 Scorpio is equipped with a 12.3-inch twin IMAX panoramic screen, which is not only 40% larger than the same level, which contains massive information, but also uses IPS display technology to make the screen more colorful, display more delicate, and accurately convey driving and vehicle information to the driver. In addition, the new car also abandons the traditional physical buttons and adopts the integrated piano touch buttons to ensure convenient operation while pursuing a simple visual experience.
MG5 Scorpio is equipped with the Roselle intelligent cockpit system, under the blessing of Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship 8155 chip, it can realize dual-screen information intelligent interaction, human-machine co-driving intelligent display and assistance, multi-finger touch shortcut operation and other functions, bringing a new sensory experience of interaction without boundaries, driving control without boundaries, and communication without boundaries. The industry's first SELF-learning AI semantic Powered by Dharma Engine, which can absorb new knowledge, new sayings, new car controls, grow and evolve in real time, and the more you use it, the smarter you are.
The new car is equipped with zero-gravity integrated sports seats, based on ergonomic design, strong three-dimensional sense and enveloping sense can give us good support when driving. In addition, details such as MG LOGO embroidery and yellow stitching on the seat, as well as yellow seat belts, exude a sense of exclusivity and sportiness.
Other configurations, including front side airbags, wireless charging of mobile phones, keyless entry, one-button start, Yamaha audio, exterior mirror electric folding, automatic air conditioning, car air purifiers, etc. will appear in the car.
In the end, for the increasingly hot sports car market, the arrival of MG5 Scorpio is undoubtedly like a "bombshell", with a radical design style, rich configuration, good power performance not only makes consumers feel enough fried, but also makes competitors tremble, coupled with the newly given pre-sale price, it can be said that it is full of sincerity, if there are more surprises in the future listing, MG5 Scorpio may become a new benchmark for domestic 100,000-level sports car.
