As the first generation of car Internet celebrities, the Tenth Generation Civic has attracted a number of fans to "copy the homework". Shadow Leopard and UNI-V are typical of "crossing the river by touching the Civic" on the product side. They perform well along the trend of 100,000 yuan + compact + sporty products. As an old senior citizen of sports cars, MG is also gradually forming a subdivision of competitive sports cars, launching mg5 Scorpio that closely follows the topic of sports. Who is the ceiling of a compact sports sedan? Can MG5 Scorpio be a reason for opponents not to lie flat? Maybe you can find out from this article.

Design: Bold enough to break the circle
At the design level, independent brands are bolder than joint venture brands in keeping pace with sports. MG5 Scorpio can be regarded as a sports-enhanced version, in order to please young users can be described as a lot of efforts, in the color matching, appearance details, reflect the brand genes, have been targeted design. The appearance details of a pin jun will no longer be repeated one by one, can only be said that in front of the competitors, is a player who cannot be easily ignored.
In addition, Yamaha audio, rear "canopy" windshield, yellow seat belts, are all strengthening the sense of grade and quality, compared with the joint venture model has a huge improvement. If buying a Civic is about valuing the brand, then MG5 Scorpio users must be focusing on the product experience.
Overall, in terms of design and internal and external configuration, MG5 Scorpio has been inseparable from the opponent. Compared with similar models of the joint venture brand, mg5 Scorpio has achieved blue out of blue and better than blue in designing and expressing the highlights of its own models. In the field of sports cars, the MG5 Scorpio in the design level, the sports configuration to achieve a small-step fast running strategy, but also enough to cope with the existing model competition.

Sport: Rich sense of detail
A sport-oriented sedan only satisfies the vision, and the already compact sports sedan in 2022 is difficult to gain a foothold. MG5 Scorpio provides consumers with a rich sports operation experience. For example, the exhaust sound wave is achieved through a real pressure relief valve, not an audio simulation.
A separate trigger button for the Super Sport mode is provided on the right side of the steering wheel, and when turned on, the screen also displays the driving parameters that performance car users pay attention to in real time such as turbo pressure and oil temperature. MG5 Scorpio's sense of sports experience is enhanced, which is popular for consumers who choose it.
On esp as well as steering procedures, the MG5 Scorpio also offers adjustment options. You can adjust the weight of the steering wheel boost. ESP program intervention can be selected as a sport mode, which can lead to better maneuverability. Unfortunately, there was no pile winding test session on site to fully experience the positive impact of the sports ESP program on the pile winding.
The 1.5T engine + dual-clutch transmission is standard in its class. The 1.5T engine mounted on the MG5 Scorpio can provide a maximum torque output of 181 hp and 285 Nm, which is a more prominent tuning parameter in the same class. If you have no concept of this, you can refer to the original EA888 2.0T mounted on the Volkswagen Golf GTi, and the maximum output is only 200 horsepower and 280 Nm, so the torque of the MG5 Scorpio is slightly higher.
In actual driving, the driving pleasure brought by the MG5 Scorpio power is also very prominent. Deep throttle can get a lot of power, especially in terms of fighting for the start, MG5 Scorpio is full of confidence. Driving at high speeds in a more intense way, the power of the 1.5T engine can also be done at will, and the entire torque curve and engine power cover the low and medium speeds, as well as the acceleration performance requirements of the medium and high speeds.
The MG5 Scorpio adopts a wet dual-clutch transmission, and Yipinjun feels that the overall tuning is better than some joint venture brands. Previously driving a German joint venture compact car, in the non-congested road section, there will be occasional frustration. To this end, I deliberately experienced the performance of the MG5 Scorpio in the same conditions, the driving smoothness is very high, especially the downshift performance is difficult to detect easily.
On the whole, the sporty operation experience + sporty power adjustment is the model advantage of the MG5 Scorpio. In the case of legal speed limits, this model can give the driver a good sense of sport. The MG5 Scorpio transmission downshifts quickly and sharply, and combined with the abundant torque burst of the engine, Michelin 3ST tires, and responsive braking performance, the driver can drive this model more emotionally.

Smart: Experience a phone-like + point-and-shoot driving
Before, there were always people who joked that "the joint venture brand talks to you about brand value, and you talk to it about the price and the car machine." Indeed, in terms of vehicles and intelligent experiences, joint venture brands need to be faced with catch-up. The MG5 Scorpio car engine system can be said to be very "not talking about martial arts". Can you imagine watching a video of Station B in a car system? Can you imagine picking and pinning your favorite mini-program like a phone? In this car and machine system, it can be implemented, including practical tools such as air travel and cross-section, all of which are readily available. In simple terms, you can think of it as a large-screen phone installed in the car.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the MG5 Scorpio is also very comprehensive. Including the active intervention of lanes, the cruise system with traffic sign recognition, and what is even more "outrageous" is that the speed can be controlled through the voice system. In short, the intelligent system of MG5 Scorpio is changing the role of the owner from the driver to the driving decision-maker, and this intelligent system represents the current high-level level of intelligent driving assistance before the advent of fully automatic driving.
