the overall trend of new car releases is a bit strange now. almost all car companies are focusing on intelligence, home use, and comfort, as if there is no theme that can attract consumers more than refrigerators, color tvs, large sofas, and fuel efficiency. but the fact is that many people still have a demand for driving pleasure, passion, and control, and still hope to have a car that can carry driving pleasure.

fortunately, some car companies are still actively launching new cars with control and fun-oriented features. for example, saic mg today officially announced the launch price of the new mg5, with three models and two powertrains, including 1.5l naturally aspirated and 1.5t turbocharged versions, priced at only 81,900-95,900 yuan. at the same time, the new car was launched with a shocking price, and the range was reduced to 65,900-75,900 yuan.

the reason why mg5 is one of the few cars that still focuses on control and fun-oriented is that all the designs, concepts and even equipment of mg5 are based on this as "guidance".

first of all, in terms of styling, the designs of the models of the same price as mg5 are basically developing in the direction of home and minimalism, while mg5 adopts a lot of sports elements. for example, although the overall size of mg5 is not large, with a length, width and height of only 4715/1842/1473mm and a wheelbase of only 2680mm, the overall shape still takes into account the sporty feeling and adopts a fastback design.

not only that, you can also see a lot of sheet metal lines on the front hood, which are sharp and dynamic. correspondingly, the rear part also has similar elements, with a slightly upturned ducktail, dual exhaust decorative holes and the shape of the "diffuser". these designs may not be of much practical use, but their symbolic meaning and attitude are fully displayed.

as for the interior, the new mg5 has been completely updated after the facelift. whether it looks good or not is a matter of personal experience, but the good thing is that the sense of technology is indeed much stronger. for example, the gear lever has been upgraded from the previous mechanical gear lever to an electronic gear lever, the central control has been upgraded to 12.3 inches, and supports carplay. the most eye-catching thing is that the instrument has also been upgraded to a full lcd 12.3-inch instrument, which is better in both information presentation and visual experience.

after talking about the static part, we come to the most important dynamic part. the high-end models of the new car are also equipped with the xds cornering dynamic control system, which i believe can also provide a lot of help for control.

in addition to the chassis, the power part also performs well. in addition to the familiar 1.5l naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 129 and a cvt gearbox, there is also a 1.5t high-power engine with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. this engine is not ordinary. it is equipped with epower control electronically controlled turbine technology. the maximum torque is already full at 1500 rpm, reaching 285n·m, so the power will come quickly and last. in this way, mg5 successfully achieved zero-to-hundred acceleration in just 6.9 seconds, which is even faster than the hot hatch golf gti we are familiar with.

i have to say that the mg5 is really powerful, not because of its 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds, nor because of its price of 65,900-75,900 yuan, but because it can achieve this price while still maintaining a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds.
