Every year in March is the day when major car companies rush to launch new cars, after all, a major international auto show is about to be ushered in, and the early launch of new cars can also get more attention at the exhibition. The MG brand, which focuses on young sports, has taken the lead in releasing its new model, MG5 Scorpio, a more sporty appearance, a more technological interior, what trendy experience will it bring us? Today we will drive it and conquer Mount Qingcheng in Chengdu.
The new MG5 Scorpio is based on the ordinary version of the MG5, using the latest family front face shape, more sharp and dynamic. The power configuration is still equipped with SAIC's 1.5T four-cylinder turbo engine matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and this powertrain is widely used in many SAIC models, such as MG6, Roewe RX5 and other models. And the new MG5 Scorpio, which has a smaller body size and a lighter vehicle weight, what kind of sparks will be rubbed?
Lightweight posture, acceleration and rapid acceleration
Since the sport is young, let's first talk about the driving experience of this MG5 Scorpio, and I believe that driving on this mountain road requires more demanding power and chassis tuning than driving on urban roads.
MG5 Scorpio this 1.5T engine, the maximum power of 181 horsepower, peak torque of 285 Nm, compared to the same advertised as a sports model of the Shadow Leopard power is stronger, the official also gave the car's zero hundred acceleration time into 7 seconds, as long as 6.9 seconds, for a 1.5T engine, such a power performance has been very good. Even if driving in the road around the mountain, the response of the gearbox is still very positive, the overall power reserve is very abundant, giving people the feeling that they can step deeply at any time, and they can get power at any time, without any feeling of weakness. And the gearbox logic tuning is very smart, will not let you have a feeling of slow half beat.
The suspension support also performs well in the multi-bend mountain road mountain, and the overall support orientation is more comfortable, so when you go to the bend at a speed close to the limit, there will be a feeling of inadequacy, but in normal daily driving, the suspension is very soothing for the support of the bend, giving people a more comfortable feeling.
It has to be mentioned that mg5 Scorpio also inherits the fine tradition of the big brother MG6 PRO in terms of exhaust. When you press the SUPER SPORT button at the bottom right of the steering wheel, the exhaust sound wave is more pleasant, and there will be a sound of "firing cannons" every time the gear is lifted, which must be very popular for young people who like to run the street, but passers-by may be...
Finally, let's briefly talk about the feeling of daily driving, after all, there are not many roads that can be played. The NVH performance of the whole vehicle is also considered to be the performance of this level of modesty, the steering feel is more comfortable, it is easy to get started, the suspension is too sporty in the section of the road that deals with continuous speed reduction belts, and there will be a slight sense of bouncing in the car, but after the speed slows down, the overall posture and comfort will be improved.
Looks online, young personality
MG5 Scorpio compared to the ordinary version of mg5 the entire front face using the latest family design, more sharp middle net shape, the interior of the irregular shape arrangement, with a sharp split headlight group, the entire front face of the shape is very moving. Several angled waistlines above the lid highlight a strong sense of muscle.
The shape of the body side is simple and smooth, and the new style of bright black wheels is very eye-catching. The large slipback shape after the C-pillar is also a popular design element of the current young models. The window trim and exterior mirror housing are painted in black to accentuate the sporty style.
The shape of the rear of the car is as exaggerated as the front face, the segmented tail wing shape is painted in high-gloss black, the lower surround is still retained diffuser shape, and the exhaust of the two sides is very intimidating, and it is also the most attractive part of the rear. The internal structure of the tail light group has been recombined and lit up very elegantly.
Pioneer in science and technology, rich in configuration
The interior is also the use of the latest design language of the MG family, the embedded central control screen is missing, and the more technological dual screen shape makes the car more technological. The display effect of the full LCD instrument is very delicate, of course, the internal UI shape, I think many people are very familiar. The engine system adopts the latest Zebra Roselle cockpit system, which is more intelligent and silkier than the traditional Zebra system.
The new style steering wheel with both upper and lower levels adds to the sporty atmosphere in the car. The quick control touch buttons of the air conditioner are integrated into the high-gloss black trim panel in the center of the center console, which looks very advanced, just a little bit of fingerprints.
Yacht gear handle style electronic barrier bar, with the central channel figure 7 shape of the chrome trim, has a good sense of refinement. The front seats use one-piece sports seats, and there is an exclusive embroidery in the center of the headrest, which makes the visual feeling very sporty.
The top model of the test drive not only has a full set of L2 driver assistance systems, but also the sound system is provided by Yamaha, so whether it is in driving control or entertainment, this MG5 Scorpio can give you a good experience. Oh, forgot to say, that is, the MG5 Scorpio top model has a large canopy design in the rear, when the rear passengers lie down to enjoy the journey, they can sunbathe during the day and watch the star curtain at night, especially suitable for young people.
Summary: After the MG5 Scorpio is listed, it will join a relatively niche field of competition, and the opponents are very strong, including Shadow Leopard, Changan UNI-V, Yixuan MAX and other models that focus on young sports. Of course, compared with this group of opponents, the appearance of MG5 Scorpio is very personalized, the configuration level is basically leading the opponent, the power performance is also the same level of the same level, and finally can impress the group of enthusiastic young people loved, may be good control, abundant power, special sound wave or exclusive sports mode and so on. So young you, will you give yourself a chance to rejoice?
