Recently, MG has launched MG ONE 2022 β - Quality Life Series, the price is more affordable, the appearance is not so exaggerated, and some sports configurations are subtracted, which is more suitable for ordinary household transportation.

MG ONE is a new compact SUV based on SAIC's SIGMA super architecture, and the previously launched α version is called the Digital Intelligence Sports Series, focusing on intelligence and sports. The β version of the listing is called the Quality Life Series, which pays more attention to comfort, configuration and quality of life, and the price of the entry-level version is less than 100,000. In terms of color, the β edition provides bubble orange, Brighton blue, red flame red, cyber gray, flare black, snow mountain white and wilderness hunter matte green a total of 7 colors, of which wilderness hunter matte green is exclusive to the β version, the car paint is supported by the world's top supplier PPG, the texture is very good, it takes 3,000 yuan to upgrade.
The main difference between the α version and the β version is the front face, the β version uses a "sonic boom shark hunting" through-type grille, crisscrossing the grid like a stone hitting a layer of ripples, from the center to the surrounding divergence, the grille part extends to the two sides of the ventilation channel, so that the front of the car looks more flat, compared to the α version of the "quantum flash" grille appears peaceful, atmospheric.
Sharp headlights are like sharp eyes, the integrated layout of the high beam lights, the standard LED light source and automatic headlights, and the high-end models also support adaptive high and low beam lights. The segmented LED daytime running lights are inspired by the sprint flag of motorsport, and the three light strips are interspersed with each other, which is very layered. The outside of the grille has a slender air outlet with a diffusion effect.
The side posture is relatively low, the front of the car has an obvious sense of downward pressure, and the roof is pressed backwards, bringing out a good sense of streamline. The roof and body are separated, and the black and silver lines accentuate the suspended roof. The segmented waistline forms an out-throw shoulder at the rear door, which is full of power. The glossy black D-pillar adds diamond-embossed patterns for richer detail.
The body dimensions are the same as the α version, with a length, width and height of 4579/1866/1617mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. Compared with Changan UNI-T, MG ONE has a slight advantage in length and height, and the wheelbase is slightly shorter.
The overall glossy black exterior mirrors are exclusive to the α edition, but the β edition with the optional Wilderness Hunter Matte Green Paint can also be owned. The shell integrates LED side lights, a side camera at the bottom, and a 360° panoramic image except for the entry-level model, but the camera integration is not high. All except for the entry-level model, it supports electric adjustment, folding, heating and automatic folding of the locked car.
The body-colored door handles come standard with a keyless entry function in the front, but they are mechanical buttons.
Available in 17, 18 and 19 inch rims, this car is the largest, with a two-tone Tomahawk design. The tires are 225/50 R19, with moderate tire width and wall thickness, matching the high performance products of the Horse BRAND PC6, excellent dry and wet grip, and good silence.
There were minor changes to the tail, eliminating the top volley segmented tail and the four-out exhaust pipe layout on both sides, which looked more peaceful. The tail window has a certain tilt, and the rear view height is relatively low, bringing out some feeling of slipping back. The "Hurricane Eye" taillights are very distinctive, and the swirling light strip and the three-dimensional lampshade combine to create a strong 3D effect, and will also "flash" to remind the rear vehicle when braking sharply. The bumper adds a black skirt, the center is a tonal diffuser trim, and the exhaust pipes on both sides are just decorative.
The layout of the carriage has not changed much, still using a wrap-around triple screen, the three screens are not on the same plane, but there is a certain sense of surround, plus the "Galaxy Battleship" type slender electronic barrier, there is indeed a feeling of driving a spaceship. The leftmost one is just a touch panel, which integrates touch keys such as exterior mirror adjustment, lighting, door locks, Bluetooth, music, etc., so that the carriage basically eliminates the physical buttons and looks much cleaner. The materials for the carriage are also good, and the top of the center console is soft plastic, with a large area of paint panels and leather coverings, which does not look cheap.
This year, the hexagonal steering wheel began to become popular, but this steering wheel is not very hexagonal, the sides are basically arcs, and the leather surface has increased the perforation, and the diameter and grip diameter are very suitable. The multi-function buttons on the spokes use a five-way joystick similar to a gamepad, which is very convenient to use with the buttons, the left side is a driver assistance module, and the high-end model has L2 level assist driving capabilities. Compared with the α version, the "SUPER SPORT" Super Sport mode button has been eliminated here, and the lining stitching has been changed to lightning green, which looks much more idyllic.
The 12.3-inch full LCD meter only appears in the top model, which is a reduction compared to the α version. Support day and night two theme styles, speed and speed information are digital display, UI style to the distant high-rise buildings as the background, a strong sense of substitution, and support navigation full-screen display.
The 12.3-inch central control screen is the standard of the whole series, and the car machine is equipped with the latest Zebra Luo Shenzhixing system, using Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 vehicle specification-level chip, the smoothness of touch and the speed of Internet access are very fast. The system can switch between travel and life scenarios, the voice assistant supports 90 seconds of continuous dialogue, and adds dialect recognition. There are also two kinds of displays, day and night, namely white background and black background display. In addition, the 360-degree panoramic image adds the chassis perspective function, which is very helpful for low-speed control cars.
The bottom of the screen is based on a piano paint panel, retaining some common shortcuts, all of which are touch-type, and the sensitivity is not bad.
The stall platform is also based on a painted panel and a flat layout to enhance the sense of grade. The "Galactico" electronic barrier bar is on the left, the slender rod head is covered with leather, which feels comfortable, and the back row is a common function key. The mobile phone storage compartment with wireless charging module in the front is open, which is very convenient to access and place the mobile phone, and the charging power is not low. Under the right slide is a double cup holder, which guarantees visual flatness and thoughtfulness.
The storage space under the barrier platform is not large, mainly used for power, and the built-in dual USB interfaces are not large. The central armrest box is square in space and can hold larger items.
The interior adopts a black midnight lightning style, adding a rich lightning green element, and the large area of bright green on the door panel looks very environmentally friendly. The armrest part has a leather with stitching, which is also good to the touch. Β version cancels yamaha sound, but still has 256 colors of musical rhythm atmosphere lights.
The β version does not use an integrated sports seat, the backrest also lacks shoulder support, and the seat has a weaker sense of movement, but the support of the cushion and the lateral support of the backrest are still sufficient. The black imitation leather material with lightning green edges and green seat belts looks bright and also brings a positive meaning. In terms of functions, the main driver's seat supports front and rear, backrest, high and low (2-way) electric adjustment, the co-pilot only supports manual adjustment of front and rear and backrest, and the high-end model also supports front seat heating.
The color scheme and material of the rear seats are the same as those in the front seats, and they still look very dynamic. The comfort of the seat is relatively high, the seat cushion is fully long, the backrest also has a small amount of lateral and lumbar support, and the headrest is also very comfortable to lean back. In terms of space, Kandi is 175cm tall, with two and a half fists in leg space, a punch on the top of his head, which is more abundant horizontally and the floor is relatively flat. Foldable handrails and cup holders are not provided, but the floor air outlet and USB port are retained, and the panoramic sunroof brings good lighting.
The conventional volume of the tail compartment is 336L, which is relatively small at the same level, mainly because the depth is shallow, the height is also average, and the lateral distance is not bad. Daily grocery shopping is certainly enough, and long-distance travel is slightly stressful. The rear seats support a 4:6 reclining ratio, which is good for flatness and can be extended to a maximum volume of 1120L. There are also multi-compartment storage panels under the floor, followed by non-full-size spare tires and repair tools.
In terms of power, SAIC's new generation MEGA Tech 1.5T high-power engine, with 350bar ultra-high-pressure fuel direct injection, ePower Control electronic control turbine, D-CVVT timing technology, water-cooled integrated exhaust and other advanced technologies, can achieve a maximum power of 133 kW (181Ps) and a maximum torque of 285 Nm/1500-4000 rpm. Matching SAIC's MEGA Tech CVT325 stepless transmission, using medium and large torque steel belts provided by Bosch, with a wide transmission ratio range, the use of a new electronically controlled single and double pump system and a high-precision rapid response hydraulic system, in addition to the consistent smoothness of the CVT transmission, it is faster than the general CVT response, acceleration is more active in gear reduction. The combination of the two brings a 0-100km/h acceleration of 8.1 seconds, which is better in the same class. The fuel consumption is not high, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 6.5L/100km.
The chassis adopts a suspension combination of front McPherson freestanding + rear multi-link independent, and the front-facing front-drive layout. Thanks to MG's experience in racing, it uses the tuning style of the SIGMA German chassis, offering aviation-grade aluminum front suspension linkage, a mainspin with large rear inclination, EPS-PRO electric power steering, a sports car-grade rear axle with 6-point hard connection, blade-style multi-link rear suspension, and a clear sense of road feel and good lateral support on the chassis. XDS cornering control system is also available, which can apply more torque to the outside wheels when cornering, improving the agility of cornering.
Kandi Comments:
Before we test drove the MG ONEα version, there were fan comments saying that its shape was too avant-garde and some could not be accepted. Β version is for these relatively mature users, it cancels the one-piece seat, Yamaha audio, "SUPER SPORT" super sport mode, sports instruments and other more exaggerated configurations, becoming more pragmatic, focusing on practicality, especially the price of the entry-level model of 99,800 to reduce the pressure on the wallet, and then there is the exclusive Wilderness Hunter matte green paint and lightning green interior is also more scarce. If the α version is for young and impulsive single guys, then the β version is a cost-effective choice for small couples.
