From the Golf GTI and Lynk & Co 03+, to today's Lynk & Co 02HB to the Shadow Leopard, the threshold for sports performance cars is getting lower and lower, from the original tens of millions to 100,000 yuan. And the MG 5 we are talking about today has lowered the threshold of sports cars to the range of 5-100,000 yuan with a starting price of 67,900 yuan. How much fun is a sports car in this section? Let's take a look at the real shot of MG 5 today.
The front face of MG 5 has a sporty atmosphere, and the catfish-style large-mouth design is very sporty. The bumper created along the middle net is also quite sporty. The main thing is that this front face does not have the slightest sense of cheapness. It is very similar to MG 6, the shape is similar, and the headlight specifications are relatively high, and you can't really see it without looking at the side size.
The MG 5 has a relatively moderate side size, with a length, width and height of 4675/1842/1480mm, and a wheelbase of 2680mm, which is a sedan with a sleek shape. A moderate wheelbase ensures that the dynamic characteristics in corners are biased towards a stable neutrality. The rear of the car will not be overly flexible.
The back-style rear end with a dual-exit exhaust looks like a small version of MG 6, which looks quite sporty and textured, which is a rare performance at this price.
Don't look at the price is not expensive, the internal configuration is not low. SAIC's zebra system is still equipped on the MG 5, and the full LCD instrument cluster is still retained. The steering wheel shape is still very three-dimensional, a bit like the steering wheel of the old GTI, but the effect is much more sporty. The electronic handbrakes are still there. This car configuration does not look at all like a car with less than 100,000.
The seat material is made of two-tone imitation leather, and the main driver has electric adjustment, of course, the adjustment is a high-end configuration. However, the seat has a good sense of sportiness, strong support, and can also ensure good daily comfort, and you can take it to buy vegetables after getting off the track.
MG 5's performance in the back row is not so good, and there is still some legroom, but the headroom is more depressing. Don't look at MG 6 is also similar shape, but MG 6 is large, the long curvature of the rear slip does not affect the interior space, the limited length of MG 5 in the rear headroom performance is not as good as MG 6, legroom is also, after all, there is a gap in length.
In order to ensure the sportiness of MG 5, even if the price is 10 to play, MG also retains the 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine version, the maximum power is 173 horsepower, the peak torque is 275 Nm, matched with a 7-speed DCT gearbox, the power is as powerful and sporty as other MG models, and the technical level of this engine is higher than i, which can achieve the level of comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Now the threshold for sports performance cars is indeed getting lower and lower, but MG 5, a sports model of less than 70,000 yuan, is still difficult to find. And MG has kept too many sports genes for it, and many places are very similar to MG 6. The same goes for product quality. Compared with the same price, the tonality and quality of MG 5 are one of the most worthy models.
