Bitauto Original As a model built by MG for global users, MG MULAN has gained great popularity since its debut. With hatchback, rear-wheel drive and power parameters of up to 449Ps, every feature will make people who love driving adrenaline boil. Previously, my colleagues conducted a field test drive on the high-end dual-motor version of MG MULAN. The good control also reflected its ambition to succeed in the European market. However, from the perspective of the domestic market, I don’t think that the top-of-the-line four-wheel drive Triumph version of MG MULAN will really take off. No, we went to the store to take real photos of a set of 2022 MG MULAN luxury versions. So, the new car How will it perform as the second lowest allocation?

MG MULAN Deluxe Edition uses a rear-mounted single motor drive form. The comprehensive range under CLTC conditions is 425km, which is not far behind the Volkswagen ID.3 (450km). Therefore, if MG MULAN is launched on the market The price is reasonable and it relies on its price advantage to win the market. I think it will be a strong competitor to the Volkswagen ID.3. Below, we will have a comprehensive understanding of the new car.

Appearance: Try our best to satisfy the aesthetics of global users

According to MG’s official introduction, the design of this car was jointly completed by MG’s design centers in Shanghai, China and London, UK. It can also be seen from the real photos that the overall design of MG MULAN is also relatively international. The front face Compared with the current mainstream sports models, it is subtracted. It is not an exaggerated design at first glance. At the same time, MG MULAN also takes into account the youthful and sporty brand attributes of the MG brand through the entire body proportions, lines and detailed elements.

Although it is a pure electric model, MG MULAN still retains the traditional lower grille. This design is similar to the Volkswagen ID.3. At the same time, although the actual model is a low-end model, it has a large LED Configurations such as headlights, LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights are all standard.

Although MG MULAN is a hatchback, its size is actually relatively high in this class. At the same time, in order to maximize the space efficiency of MG MULAN, which is built on the Nebula platform, the new car moves the A-pillar forward, making the entire body close to the concept of ONE BOX. At the same time, MG MULAN locates the four front and rear wheels on the four corners of the body, that is, We are familiar with the short front and rear overhang design.

MG MULAN Deluxe Edition provides a set of 17-inch wheels with specifications of 215/50 R17. The design of the two-color wheels is very eye-catching, and the tire brand is from the Continental PCC series, which is a low-rolling wheel. blocking tires.

Compared with the front face, the rear of MG MULAN is very rich in details, and its through-type rearThere are many layers of lines above and below the lights, and the design of the hollow double-width rear wing increases the visual tension of the rear and makes it more sporty. MG calls it a multi-dimensional functional rear. Generally speaking, the rear design of MG MULAN improves its recognition and, of course, improves its visual competitiveness.

Interior: The materials are average but the configuration is not low

Compared with high-end models, the main difference in the interior of the MG MULAN luxury version lies in the materials used, while the 10.25-inch central control screen + 7-inch full LCD instrument is standard for the entire series. First of all, the exclusive interior color of the MG MULAN luxury version is minimalist gray, while the flagship model has an exclusive red/white interior. At the same time, the seats of the real model are made of a mix of imitation leather and fabric. Compared with high-end models, There are also gaps.

The interior materials of the MG MULAN Deluxe Edition are not luxurious. Of course, as a low-end model, this is understandable.

The multi-function steering wheel and 7-inch full LCD instrument are standard equipment for all series, and the steering wheel gearshift is also standard equipment. The configuration is actually not low.

MG MULAN's car functions will not be reduced due to high or low configurations. It is built-in the Zebra Venus 2.0 intelligent system. In addition to conventional car navigation, Internet of Vehicles, 4G network and OTA upgrades, this set of The biggest highlight of the system is that the intelligent voice system supports continuous dialogue within 90 seconds.

All MG MULAN series are equipped with automatic air conditioning as standard, and the actual models are also equipped with PM2.5 filtering devices. Overall, the configuration level of the MG MULAN Deluxe Edition is actually not low. Although the materials are average, the necessary configurations such as the car system, multi-function steering wheel, full LCD instrument and automatic air conditioning are all equipped. The entire model should be A very cost-effective model.

Space: both seating space and storage space are good

MG MULAN's front-row space performance is quite satisfactory. After adjusting the seat, an experiencer with a height of 175cm can get about a punch of headroom, and the performance is in line with expectations; in addition, in terms of comfort configuration, the real-life model is equipped with main The 6-way electric adjustment of the driver's seat and the heating function of the front seats are low-end comfort features that do not stretch the hips.

The headroom of the second row of MG MULAN is slightly cramped, but there is more than enough legroom, so the performance is acceptable; in addition, due to the characteristics of a pure electric car, the second-row floor of MG MULAN is flat, which is usually It can accommodate 3 people without compromising comfort.

The conventional storage space in the MG MULAN car is very abundant, especially the front row has many areas for placing mobile phones, which is very practical.

All MG MULAN series do not support electric tailgates, which is extremely inconvenient for daily use.

Power: 425km battery life, rich playability

If you only look at the power parameters, the single-motor version of MG MULAN is a bit "insignificant" compared to the dual-motor version, but I insist that "high horsepower" is not the only way to measure whether a car is good to drive or not. indicators, and it is not groundless to have such an idea for MG MULAN. First of all, MG MULAN is equipped with a 51kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, the supplier is from CATL, and the Rubik's Cube battery it is equipped with uses LBS lying cells, which not only optimizes the capacity density but also reduces the height of the battery pack, which is beneficial to driving. It is to lower the center of gravity of the vehicle and suppress the roll of the vehicle during high-speed driving, making the body more stable and the control more precise.

It is worth mentioning that the entire MG MULAN series offers 5 driving modes and 3 levels of adjustable automatic energy recovery. Therefore, although the horsepower is not as high as that of the dual-motor version, the MG MULAN Deluxe Edition can still provide good driving fun.

MG MULAN's chassis is relatively regular, and the suspension structure is a combination of front MacPherson + rear five-link. Among them, the rear five-link independent suspension is relatively rare in its class, coupled with the DP-EPS steering system , One-Box electric braking system and rear drive and other features. It can be seen that MG MULAN was designed to serve performance release and driving pleasure from the beginning.

Editor’s comment: Although MG MULAN is not yet on the market, everyone is obviously looking forward to its price, and the core of this expectation is undoubtedly the affirmation of its product strength, whether it is appearance design, comprehensive configuration, space and In terms of power level, the strength displayed by MG MULAN can compete with the Volkswagen ID.3. Judging from the comprehensive strength of the real-shot model-MG MULAN Deluxe Edition, I think it will take on the MG MULAN’s volume mission, and according to the official information provided by MG, the two configurations of MG MULAN Deluxe Edition and Flagship Edition also enjoy priority rights to pick up the car (before October 31). So, do you think MG MULAN can compete with Volkswagen ID.3?
