The visual impact of the front of the real car is very strong, and the obvious family characteristics can be felt 100 meters away. This is also the main element of MG's latest generation design language, which makes the sense of sports and fashion more radical. It is worth mentioning that the car paint color of "Cybergray" was adopted in the real shot. Car paint is gradually changing color, and it will show two effects of gray, blue and purple under different angles of light, which is very textured.
The combination of a large area of black mesh and a long and narrow light group makes MG pilot look fierce, which is also the mainstream trend of automobile design at present. Make a fuss about the modeling of mesh and lamp group to improve visual tension. ? In addition, you can also see the periphery of the sports style adopted by MG Pilot, which has a strong sense of hierarchy and a good grasp of the sports atmosphere. The real shot model is Trophy Sports Edition. In addition to the logo posted on China's website, the lower edge of the bumper has also been color-contrasted. Personally, the design of MG's pilot front face is quite successful. Compared with the previous HS, both sports and fashion have been greatly improved, but it will not be too hard. It looks very international and will definitely attract young consumers.
The real shooting model adopts far-near integrated headlights, and the turn signal and daytime running lights are placed under the headlight group.
The shape of the side is more traditional, the lines are simple, and the B-pillar has a certain sense of strength in the future. The black window decoration looks very textured with the luggage rack and gray paint. In terms of body size, the official has not yet announced it, but the visual inspection is not much different from the current HS.
19 inch two-color wheels, sporty style, Michelin PS4 series tires, expensive, specifications 235/45? R 19 .
The rear contour is relatively simple, and the overall change is not big, especially the shape of the taillight group, and the shadow of HS can still be found. It is worth mentioning that MG pilot uses a double exhaust tailpipe.
The MG brand has always been sporty and young. On the forerunner of the new model MG, we saw the design overview of the third generation of MG family. Generally speaking, the new model is mainly based on the front face and adopts the popular design techniques, which brings a certain freshness to the new car. If nothing happens, this design style will be adopted in the future new cars of MG. ? The design of the interior of MG pilot is still familiar to everyone, with little overall change and some details changed.
The materials used internally are quite cheap. The top of the center console is covered with soft material, the middle top is covered with cloth, and the bottom seam is wrapped with leather, which has a very good texture. In addition, the real shot model adopts white/blue color matching, which shows the overall grade and is very advanced.
The shape of the flat-bottomed steering wheel has not changed, and it has a good grip. At the lower right, it is also equipped with buttons in super sports mode.
The display effect of the full LCD dashboard is exquisite, the brand-new UI design looks beautiful, needless to say, and the information that can be displayed is very rich.
10. 1 inch central control multimedia screen, the display effect is good, and the operation fluency is also worthy of recognition. Built-in zebra zhixing 3.0 system.
Some physical buttons are reserved at the bottom of the central control screen, which can operate air conditioning and multimedia volume.
Wireless charging configuration also appeared on MG Pilot. In addition, it is equipped with two USB interfaces and a 12V power supply.
Around the handlebar is the functional operation area of the vehicle. At present, we can see driving mode adjustment, engine start switch, electric tailgate and steep slope descent.
The front row of the real shot model adopts an integrated sports seat, which is very eye-catching in shape and color matching, taking into account the comfort and support when riding.
The rear space is moderate, and the rear seat headrest and the central armrest are also available.
The trunk space is designed regularly, and the rear seats support 4/6 ratio, which can form a flat platform after being laid down.
In terms of power, the MG Pilot for this test drive is equipped with a 2.0T engine and matched with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 23 1Ps and a peak torque of 370n·m, which is consistent with the current HS model. In addition, the 2.0T version of MG Pilot is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.
From the parameter point of view, this 2.0T engine carried by MG Pilot belongs to the better level of independent brands at present, especially the torque, which is ahead of most models in the same class. It is worth mentioning that this 2.0T engine also adopts some current mainstream technologies. For example, with the central injector in the cylinder, the fuel is atomized more fully, which can effectively promote combustion and have stronger power output. In addition, the water-cooled integrated exhaust manifold also appeared in this engine. Under the condition of high power output, this layout can improve exhaust temperature control and reduce fuel injection, thus improving fuel economy and output power. ? The actual power performance has reached the expectation, with abundant power and low torque performance, and you will not feel tired in any speed range. In addition, the power output style of MG Pilot is relatively easy to control, smooth and linear, and easy to master, which is better than the previous MG HS.
The six-speed dual clutch gearbox improves the speed ratio of the first gear, so the starting response is faster. In addition, the shift logic has also been optimized, especially the downshift response, which is obviously faster than the previous MG HS. However, the shortcomings are also easy to detect, that is, there will still be some setbacks in switching between low grades.
MG Pilot is equipped with four driving modes, in addition to economy, standard and sports, it is also equipped with super sports mode. In this mode, we have carried out the 0- 100km/h acceleration test of the vehicle. After several rounds of high-strength tests, P-Box shows that the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is 7.9 seconds, which is worthy of recognition.
The performance of the brakes is very interesting. The measured braking distance of 100km/h-0 is 35.9 meters, which is very good. The reason is that the four Michelin PS4 tires on the new car must have helped a lot.
The suspension part of the new car adopts the design of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. The adjustment of suspension pays attention to comfort and can provide some support, but it is limited. In the brake test, it can be seen that the vehicle has obvious nodding phenomenon. ? In the project of winding piles or drawing circles, we can also see that the suspension support of vehicles is limited.
MG Pilot is equipped with XDS curve dynamic control system. The principle is well known to all, that is, when the vehicle is in the limit state, the brake is applied to the inner driving wheel with a small grip, so that a yaw moment pointing inward is generated to help the vehicle steer, and the understeer is suppressed to some extent. In the actual experience, it can really inhibit the occurrence of pushing the head, especially when drawing a circle, you can appropriately increase the opening of the accelerator pedal. ? In terms of steering, the steering damping is light in the standard mode, but it will be obviously aggravated in the super sports mode. But the overall sense of communication is average, not to mention the normal level of family cars.
Due to the limitation of the site, the on-site test drive does not provide bumpy and vibrating roads, so the feeling of chassis vibration filtering comfort needs to be experienced after the road test.
