The young "dry rice man" tested the brand-new MG5 in the first car.

"Young people's first car" seems to be a topic forever. Under the background of younger consumption trend, many automobile brands begin to flaunt youth, sports and luxury, which seems to have become the mainstream symbol at present. Among them, many century-old car companies have always established an elegant and noble image, and they have also begun to develop in this direction. In terms of product "selling", domestic independent brands have always had a keen sense of smell. First of all, design is the best starting point. Recently, the author tested this brand-new GT coupe. MG5 is a very prominent representative. Once those unreachable million-class coupes finally appeared on the million-class models of 65438+, fulfilling the dream of a "30-year-old" coupe with little savings like the author.

Back to the brand-new MG5 of the protagonist, in the product lineup of MG, the old MG5 appeared eight years ago, when it was just a hatchback with a very ordinary appearance? After "Passerby A", the domestic automobile market structure has undergone earth-shaking changes in eight years. In order to meet the needs of current consumers, the replaced MG5 can be described as a makeover. To be honest, at first glance, it even feels "green". Let's introduce in detail the charm of this coupe with a starting price of only 67,900 yuan.

Bold and radical design conforms to the sports label.

From the brand point of view, MG used to be a British automobile brand with a long history, and it has always been labeled as "sports". Even now it has become an independent brand of SAIC, its sports attribute will definitely continue. This set of "combustion technology aesthetics" is the latest official design language of the brand at present. As the name implies, it is to create a sense of movement and modernity that can ignite the passion of drivers.

On the new MG5, the core of this latest design language comes from the front face of the "shark hunting" style. The whole front of the car adopts a dive design, the air intake grille adopts a black "flame" texture, and there are matte decorative plates extending on both sides, so the overall visual effect is extremely aggressive. The whole system comes standard with LED light source headlight group, and the long and narrow headlight shape also caters to the front face dive design.

The biggest highlight of the side is the shape of the slip back. The double waistline design creates a posture with great impact. The silver decoration on the upper edge of the window extends from the A-pillar to the rear of the car, which visually enhances the sense of movement of the back slip. The length, width and height of the car body are 4675/ 1842/ 1480mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2680mm.

The highlights of the tail are the leopard-claw taillights, the duckling tail with the upper tail slightly upturned, and the layout of exhaust decorative ports with two sides (the real exhaust port is hidden under the rear bumper), which further enhances the sports atmosphere of the tail.

The MG5 tested by the author this time is a 180DVVT model, equipped with 16-inch wheels, matching 205/50? R 16 solid platinum ZEON? C7 tires, the main silent and comfortable.

Everything revolves around the driver-centered internal atmosphere.

The new MG5 also gives people a strong sense of freshness in the interior. The interior is biased towards the driver's central control dashboard, which makes it easier for the driver to obtain driving information while driving, and the display is more intuitive and the driving is safer. High-gloss paint trim strips are equipped with diamond-cut design, creating a good sense of exquisiteness.

The three-spoke flat-bottomed multifunctional steering wheel has a comfortable grip, and the red stitching and perforated design create a good sense of movement. In addition to the conventional vehicle information and navigation map, the LCD instrument also has a dynamic driving management system, which can display the G value and acceleration results, adding some interesting attributes.

The central control area comes standard with a large floating screen of 10.25 inch, and the zebra Venus system is integrated inside, which supports the functions of 90-second continuous dialogue, car-home interconnection, interconnection applet, etc., and also covers applications such as Gaode map, cool music and Himalayan FM. The sound system in the car is provided by Yamaha, a famous musical instrument brand. The sound system has Yamaha hi-fi symmetrical swing technology, which can reduce distortion and ensure sound quality restoration.

The chair has made great efforts in ergonomics and has a high degree of fit with the body. It adopts triple embracing design, which improves the lateral support for shoulders, waist and legs. At the same time, it adopts color matching style and grain decoration.

Test drive | 1.5L MG5 is more suitable for commuting.

The new MG5*** introduces two different powertrain models, namely 1.5T turbocharged engine and 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. What did the author test drive this time 180DVVT? The maximum power and torque of the engine of the top CVT model are 88kW( 120 PS) and150n m, which is matched with the CVT gearbox. For the comfortable positioning of 1.5L model, it is not difficult to see the intention of the manufacturer. Of course, consumers who pursue power can choose sports-oriented 1.5T models.

After all, it is a four-cylinder 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, so there is no need to expect too much from the power performance. In the initial stage, the throttle is still sensitive, so you don't need to step on the throttle deeply to get more power. However, when driving at 80 km/h on the expressway, you can hear the engine start to "roar" hysterically, but it has not achieved much speed-up effect.

As a car that mainly commutes daily, its matching CVT gearbox has no doubt about ride comfort, and there is no setback or rush during the whole test drive, which is in line with the level of its scooter.

The chassis adopts McPherson+variable cross-section torsion beam structure. It can be regarded as an entry-level family car and a good solution to redundant vibration when it encounters finely bumpy roads, and the actual feeling is more inclined to comfort adjustment. At the same time, the route of this test drive covers a part of Panshan Highway, and it can be felt that the chassis provides good lateral support during the test drive.

Write it at the end

From the background of younger consumption trend, young people's first car should not only have an eye-catching appearance, but also need fresh on-board configuration. The appearance design and rich and practical technology configuration of the brand-new MG5 Young Sports really capture the demand of consumers under the Z generation, and sensitively capturing the market demand is an important step for the product to succeed. Finally, I have to praise the pricing of this car. The official slogan is "80,000 extravagant runs". You are not mistaken. The manufacturer's guide price of the new MG5 is 6.79-6.5438+0.049 million yuan. The "coupe" is no longer an unreachable dream. Come on, dry rice man
