The 2023 MG MG5 went on the market, and all competing products in the same level were hoisted. The measured fuel consumption at high speed was only 3.84L L.
As a standard post-90s generation, I think most young people’s aesthetics should be the same as mine, and they don’t like the same doll face. Young and stylish design is our dish.
In the domestic self-owned brand models, it seems that the MG brand has not served anyone, regardless of design.
Precipitate the brand in quality, and be advanced and beautiful in innovation. On July 3rd, 2023 models of quality cars were brand-new, equipped with "Double Top Ten" power combination, and their performance was improved in an all-round way, making them the strongest in their class. The sharp face value once again attracted the attention of a large number of young people. So today, I will actually drive for a long distance and test whether the fuel consumption performance of this "Yan Xiaosheng" is worthy of the "young man’s wallet".
At the same time of product upgrade, MG MG5 2023 launched a "limited time surprise price" of 57,900 yuan, which broke through the reserve price at the same level. It also enjoyed beautiful and advanced gifts such as daily supply as low as 0 interest in 10 yuan /24 issues, discount as high as 5,000 yuan, purchase subsidy as high as 5,000 yuan, and free basic flow for life, which truly achieved "value for money" and helped users "easily purchase". This time, with the guidance of user demand, the sense of value has climbed again, providing consumers with the first choice of buying a car within 100 thousand.
The new MG5 adopts the latest "third generation family design" language, which brings super-high face value and dynamic posture, especially the "shark-hunting" front face with downward dive lines, creating a full sense of low-lying movement.
In terms of details, the oversized shield-shaped front grille with the internal black "burning fire" grid design makes the whole front face extremely visual tension, and the matte plaques extending outward from both sides of the net can effectively enhance the visual width. The whole design is matched with a huge LOGO, which highlights the sense of movement.
In addition, MG5 is also equipped with a long, narrow and sharp headlight group. The interior design of the lamp cavity and the shape of the daytime running lamp also have a strong sense of design, giving people a very strong sense of visual impact.
The side of the car body is also pursuing a sense of movement, and the design of the slip back creates a coupe atmosphere, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the sense of movement of the whole car. The wheelbase of 2680mm also belongs to the mainstream level.
Compared with the front face, the shape of the rear of the car has a little more fullness, but the slightly raised duckwings and the rear surrounding bottom spoiler can still highlight a certain sense of movement. The bilateral chrome-plated exhaust port at the tail has a stronger sense of movement.
The rim is designed in black and silver, and the overall look is still very cool. ZEON C7 tire is used as the tire, with the size of 205/55 R16.
In terms of interior, this set of interior of the brand-new MG5 is different from other models of MG. Although there are many materials, it is good in hierarchical design. The steering wheel is moderately thick and feels good. At the same time, it has been punched in the hand position, but it only supports up and down adjustment in adjustment, which is not very friendly for taller friends.
The first impression of the 10.25-inch integrated suspension central control panel is good, and the functionality and fluency of the built-in VENUS system are also well received.
Advanced power, MG5 with high energy and low consumption is in place.
SAIC Blue Core 2.0 MEGA Tech blessing, 2023 models, all-round advanced upgrade, power leads the same class models, providing users with a smoother, smoother and more balanced travel experience. The 2023 MG MG5 provides two power combinations at the same time, which can meet the diverse needs of users.
A new generation of 1.5L high-efficiency power combination is equipped with a new 1.5L in-cylinder direct injection naturally aspirated engine, which adopts 350bar ultra-high pressure fuel direct injection system, intelligent thermal management system, advanced intelligent D- speed response timing technology, intelligent variable system, extreme antifriction technology, lightweight all-aluminum body, etc., which greatly saves fuel consumption, reduces emissions, saves energy and worries, and significantly improves power and quick response, from 129Ps to 158 N. At the same time of enhancing power, the model is equipped with an intelligent stepless gearbox simulating an 8-speed CVT. Combined with the characteristics of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, such as smooth power connection and linear speed increase, the driver can feel stable and abundant power output regardless of rapid acceleration or high-speed cruising, and the power is available with stepping.
1.5T Double Top Ten Power Technology was launched, equipped with the strongest MEGA Tech 1.5T high-pressure direct injection turbocharged engine in its class. With the support of 350bar ultra-high pressure fuel direct injection technology and ePower Control electronically controlled turbine technology, the maximum horsepower of MG5 2023 is increased to 181Ps. After the upgrade of instantaneous supercharging technology, its peak torque is increased by 20%+, and the maximum torque is optimized to 285N·m, and the dynamic response of starting and following the car is faster, and the response of following the car is increased by 2 times. The more you step on it, the more power output performance you have, so that drivers are always one step ahead of each other whether they are shuttling through the city or galloping at high speed, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 6.47L, truly realizing the goal of high energy and low consumption.
Full quality, strength leading the new market of cars within 100 thousand
Adhering to the initial intention of "high-quality as standard", MG5 2023 started the journey of upgrading the user experience with high quality and high configuration, and achieved a better life with an "advanced" seat.
MG MG5 2023, with full marks from American businessmen, inherits the classic design aesthetics, which not only has a slip back design with extraordinary value, but also has an internal space that exceeds expectations. The widest body of the same class of 1842mm, the super-long wheelbase of the same class of 2680mm, and ample rear head and leg space have brought the internal space and comfort to the extreme, creating a first-class seating space. At the same time, this model provides comfort and convenience for users with rich and practical configurations, such as oversized sunroof, zero-gravity full-embracing seat, 360 HD panoramic image system+180 transparent chassis, intelligent keyless entry system, etc., which enhances the user’s high-value car experience in all directions.
Thanks to the global system, MG5 2023 adopts the world-class supply chain system, meets the European standard, completes the comprehensive road test of 5 million kilometers, and guarantees the quality style with the luxury quality control standard. The authoritative certification is reliable and durable, and MG5 won the first place in the product quality of its own brand compact car in the 2021 China Automobile Product Quality Performance Research Report. According to the "Research Report on Automobile Insurance Rate in China in May 2023", MG5 ranks the first in the insurance rate of independent compact cars within 100,000 with a one-year insurance rate of 74.0%, leading the new car market within 100,000. In just three years, the sales volume of MG5 has been rising steadily, and the preservation rate has remained at a high level, which further proves that the quality and strength of MG5 have been recognized by the public, making users worth buying and getting more value.
The test drive MG5 is equipped with an 8-speed CVT gearbox. In addition, a 5-speed manual gearbox is matched with the 1.5L engine. Matching the 1.5T engine is a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox.
Before the start of the race, we will drive the vehicles to the gas station, and the same person will fill all the vehicles up to the gun, excluding the influence of the refueling personnel. At the same time, after refueling, we will clear the vehicle odometer.
If the standard of the fuel-saving race is anything, it must be the seal on the fuel tank cover. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition and the truth of the data, the coaching staff put a seal on each car after the vehicle refueling was completed.
The distance of this competition is set from Anting Sinopec gas station to Suzhou Dongshan gas station, with a total distance of about 90 kilometers. Among them, expressways account for a large proportion. When driving at high speed, we keep the vehicle speed at about 80km/h, and in order to control fuel consumption, we don’t have a big foot accelerator and a big foot brake during the race.
The congested roads in the city are fatal to the performance of vehicle fuel consumption, and the stop-and-go driving state in the city will make fuel consumption rise sharply. If it is equipped with an automatic start-stop system, it is helpful for the fuel economy of urban road driving, but this MG5 is not equipped.
Because the vehicle adopts the power combination of 1.5L+CVT, the overall driving is much smoother than the vehicle, and the power output is very smooth whether driving in a low-speed city or accelerating at a high speed. However, in terms of absolute acceleration, this self-priming MG5 is obviously not as good as the turbo model. For the editor himself, I personally prefer smooth power output. (Non-competition time test)
During driving, our MG5 lane departure warning function is still sensitive, and the front camera can clearly identify the lane line. When the vehicle deviates, the reaction force and vibration to the steering wheel are still relatively large, which can effectively remind the driver.
The adjustment of the overall throttle and brake of the vehicle is relatively linear, and it takes almost no adaptation time to master it for the first time. The steering force of the steering wheel is adjustable in three levels, and it can be adjusted to the lightest mode, and it can be controlled with one finger. The overall virtual position is not big, and the directivity of the front is good. (Non-competition time test)
Although the adjustment of vehicle chassis tends to be comfortable, the road feeling is also obvious. Because the rear wheel of the vehicle is adopted, the vehicle can still feel the bounce of the rear wheel when crossing the pit. In addition, when power is needed to increase the engine speed, the engine noise will be transmitted to the car very obviously, and the tire noise is also obvious, so there is still room for improvement in the overall NVH performance.
After driving to the destination gas station, the coach tore off the seal and refueled until the gun jumped. Because everyone drives the same road section, the specific driving distance will not be too bad, and the fuel consumption directly determines the performance of each car.
According to the apparent data of the vehicle, the total driving distance is 88.2km, the average speed is 59km/h, and the apparent fuel consumption is 4.3L/100km.
According to the refueling amount of the tanker, the total refueling amount is 3.39L L. According to the actual calculation, the average fuel consumption of this journey is only 3.84L/100km, which is lower than the apparent fuel consumption. This performance is not bad for a compact car.
Editor’s comment: Because the displacement of MG5′ s self-priming engine is 1.5L, it is necessary to maintain a relatively high speed to have a better power performance when driving at high speed, which is a disadvantage compared with the turbo car, but from the final fuel consumption result, it is not easy for MG MG5 to run 3.84L/100km. Although we deliberately keep the skill of fuel-efficient driving when driving, we can’t deny the outstanding performance of MG5 in controlling the power system.
