Officials said that users who booked cars before May 31, 2022 (inclusive) can enjoy the "Rimula Red Envelope Gift" with a deposit of 1,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. At the same time, MG5 Scorpio also brought a number of listing rights, namely the purchase of Trophy models that are worth 2,000 yuan double-layer floating scorpion tail (limited to the first 10,000), 0 down payment / 0 interest / 0 monthly payment, lifetime free basic traffic. It is reported that users who order cars during the pre-sale period also enjoy the above "hard stubble quadruple gift".

First, a brief description of the model

In terms of appearance, MG5 Scorpio adopts a new family design language, and the overall style is bold and radical, which is highly recognizable. The front face is equipped with a large air intake grille, with "X" decorative elements inside, and a sharp split headlight set, which is extremely aggressive. Detailed parts, the front face layout is compact and low,000, and there are multiple raised rib lines above the hood to create a feeling of forward dive.

The double waistline design on the side of the car is full of power, the exterior mirror shell and A, B, C pillars and other positions have been blackened, in addition to the sport version of the model is also equipped with five-spoke pure black color wheels and red brake calipers, the sports atmosphere is very strong. The sneakback rear is dynamic and smooth, and is equipped with a small size black spoiler and a round exhaust with a total of four sides, and the official said that it has also been optimized for the exhaust sound, and the performance sense is directly full. The design of the rear enclosure is very detailed, not only with diffuser-like trim, but also with the addition of a penetrating black grid embellishment, the visual effect is quite combative.

The MG5 Scorpio series is equipped with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels as standard, and for a compact car that focuses on "performance", although the size is moderate, the visual effect is not particularly shocking. In terms of design, the wheels equipped with the luxury version model are bright silver, taking into account the sense of luxury and sportiness, compared with the pure black color wheels used in the sports version, which is very pure and fully implements the word "sport".

In terms of color matching, MG5 Scorpio has a total of 7 colors to choose from, and the overall appearance is still quite rich. Although the main passion lemon is indeed beautiful, very beautiful and very combative, but according to the official website, the passion lemon color of the whole series of models need to be increased by 2,000 yuan / unit on the basis of the market guidance price, and the cost performance is pulled down. Of course, if you are fond of this color matching, you can also choose at a higher price, spend money to buy happiness! In addition, nuclear energy yellow and snow white I personally feel are also very good affordable choices.

The interior layout of mg5 Scorpio is refreshing and simple, and the mainstream dual screen configuration is composed of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch suspension central control screen, which further enhances the sense of science and technology. The center console adopts a symmetrical design, good workmanship and materials with pure black color, creating a strong sense of quality. The details, in order to highlight the sporty positioning of the new car, in the front/rear door panel, steering wheel, center console and seats, etc., also added bright yellow decorative embellishments, with a large area of piano paint panel and metal decoration, not only layered, but also the sporty atmosphere is well set off.

In terms of power, the MG5 Scorpio is equipped with a SAIC Blue Core 2.0 MEGA Tech 1.5T high-power turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 133 kW, a peak torque of 285 Nm, and a transmission system matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The engine features 350bar ultra-high-pressure direct fuel injection technology and ePower Control electronically controlled turbo technology, combined with an original high-performance reinforcement kit such as a high-flow supercharger, a high-flow liquid cooling system, and a reinforced cylinder block/cylinder head. In addition, the new car is equipped with EPS PRO electric power steering system and XDS cornering dynamic control system to improve handling performance.

Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations

The MG5 Scorpio entry-level model is a 1.5T luxury version, priced at 102,900 yuan. Although it is an entry-level model, it has the word "luxury" in the name, which shows that the configuration level should not be low. Overall, in addition to the lack of active security systems, the overall performance can be satisfactory and basically meet the daily needs of the family. However, the problem is that as a model mainly for young consumers, "sporty" and "ceremonial" are too important, although the entry-level luxury version model is also equipped with a sports appearance kit, but it does not have black rims, 12.3-inch interactive full virtual instrument, MG Trophy sports management mode, nor can it be equipped with Trophy exclusive color matching interior, which is not so "pure", so the appeal is really limited. It's not that the product itself is not good enough, it's just that from the perspective of recommendation, there are better options.

Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis

What do young people think when they buy a car? That's definitely "all" within the limits of what can be afforded. Rationally speaking, for the MG5 Scorpio model, I think it is still a wise choice to directly top the match, after all, its price of 117,900 yuan combined with the corresponding configuration performance, it is indeed a child. Compared with the medium-sized models, the recommended top-of-the-line version enjoys a lot of comfort and practical configurations, such as non-open panoramic sunroof, remote start, interactive full virtual instrumentation, front mobile phone wireless charging, front seat heating, automatic air conditioning, etc., while also more perfect in the safety configuration level, the new front/rear head airbag, parallel assist and reversing side warning system and other configurations, so the all-round configuration is improved, and the price difference of 8,000 yuan is absolutely worth the money. In addition, MG officials said that users who book cars before May 31, 2022 (inclusive) can enjoy the "Rimula Red Envelope Gift" with a deposit of 1,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a cash discount of 3,000 yuan.

In summary, for the purchase recommendation of MG5 Scorpio, I personally believe that the Trophy Sports flagship version with a price of 117,900 yuan is the most cost-effective, and consumers can give priority when choosing.
