How important is the preferences of young consumers? The change of the compact sedan is the most telling, starting from Xuanyi, reducing the widened body, bringing the wide body vision of the coupe; Corolla/Leiling, a generation to emphasize the handling; even Langyi has given two front face designs; Civic is more in place, with fashionable shapes and strong power, labeling itself as "civilian supercar".
Domestic brands are not lonely, and after the success of SUVs and technological advancements, they quickly counterattacked the car market. Different from the previous dislocation competition of Emgrand and Yidong, from shadow leopard, UNI-V to MG5 Scorpio, these domestic "upstarts" carry the banner of high value and strong power, and the technology and configuration are not bad. Of course, the price has also come to the 100,000-level range, directly into the main battlefield of the joint venture model.
This has given birth to the clichéd topic, who should be chosen for domestic VS joint ventures? We compare the upcoming MG5 Scorpio with the UNI-V that has just been launched.
Design and body | MG5 Scorpio is even more outstanding, and Elantra is a sheet metalworker's nightmare
The design has always been a matter of opinion, and all three cars belong to a style with personality and high recognition. The most out of the circle is UNI-V, coupe body, electric rear wing, domestic "A7", although there are more piles, but there is also a suspicion of excessive force, and compared to MG5 Scorpio, its positioning is also higher, the price range is 10.89-13.19 million yuan.
The current Elantra was controversial at the beginning of its listing, and the fashionable design won both eyeballs and increased the risk of spitting. That is, people who like it think that everything is very good, and those who don't like it will not look at it more.
With the new passion lemon color MG5 Scorpio, it looks like a strong fighting atmosphere, the aggressive front even has the momentum to swallow everything, but different from the sharpness of UNI-V, on the side of the body, its lines are more soothing, and added a little elegance, the current pre-sale price is 10.29-11.79 million yuan, it is expected that the official price will be further explored, positioning more close to the people.
In terms of body size, the MG5 Scorpio is more in line with the design of coupe models, through a longer body, ample width and long head and short tail, to create a ground-to-ground, swooping motion effect. The wheelbase performance of the Elantra and UNI-V is somewhat cross-level, but the comfort of the ride in the car also needs to be experienced by yourself, and the body heights of the two cars are 1415 and 1430mm respectively, which is not very friendly to taller users.
Summary: UNI-V has a radical design and the longest wheelbase, and the price is also high; the Elantra is too personal in appearance and the body size is moderate; the MG5 Scorpio style is stylish, fresh and wide-ranging, the positioning is more close to the people, and the body layout is closer to the traditional coupe style.
Power and configuration | MG5 Scorpio entry is high match, Korean actually lost to the configuration low
Speaking of the powertrain that young users care about the most, the MG5 Scorpio and UNI-V are equipped with 1.5T turbocharged engines, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 133KW and 138KW, and a maximum torque of 285N*m and 300N*m, respectively.
In particular, the mg5 Scorpio's official 100-kilometer acceleration time is only 6.9s, and both cars can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, which is a type that is easy to feed and runs fast, which is more in line with the expectations of young users for strong power.
The entry-level model of Elantra is only equipped with a 1.5L self-priming engine, with a CVT gearbox, the maximum power is 84.5KW, the maximum torque is 143.9N *m, this power system is mainly economical and durable, and the speed acceleration and power reserve of the initial stage are certainly not as good as mg5 Scorpio and UNI-V. Of course, Elantra also offers a 1.4T version, but that car starts at nearly 130,000 and is only equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, which lacks affinity.
Next is the configuration, we all know that the Korean system is a joint venture brand in the configuration performance is better, compared with our Chinese brand, how big is the gap? Based on the standard of about 110,000, we chose the MG5 Scorpio Sport Premium Edition for 109,900, the UNI-V Premium Edition with 108,900 and the Elantra Premium Edition with 113,800 for comparison.
Speaking of comfort configuration, all three cars are equipped with automatic LED headlights and rear air conditioning outlets, which is relatively thick, but mg5 Scorpio and Elantra provide adaptive headlights and PM2.5 filters, but UNI-V does not. At the same time, mg5 Scorpio's 256-color mood lights, 12.3-inch central control large screen, and 540-degree high-definition panoramic image (with chassis transparency) functions are also not available in the other two cars.
In the driver assistance system, the MG5 Scorpio and UNI-V are equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise, the Elantra is only cruised at fixed speed, and all three cars have active braking systems, but the MG5 Scorpio also adds lane keeping assistance and road marking recognition, while the other two cars are missing.
Summary: From the performance of price, power and configuration, MG5 Scorpio is the most comprehensive, UNI-V is second, and Elantra is also performing well, but Chinese brands are working harder.
summary:
Nowadays, young users love the car, around the radical and personalized appearance, more scientific and technological configuration and excellent power, from the Civic to the current shadow leopard, UNI-V and today's MG5 Scorpio, Chinese brand cars are also providing consumers with high value and strong power and other one-step use of feelings, and the price is more affordable.
The above seems that the upcoming MG5 Scorpio has a certain competitiveness, and the car jun speculates that its official price will start or will enter less than 100,000, which is worth looking forward to.
