In order to meet the "idolization" needs of more young consumers, especially YCY fans, at the recent Guangzhou Auto Show, the government specially launched a brand-new limited-edition MG5, a co-branded model of YCY, with an official price of 654.38+0.049 million yuan. Of course, in addition to the MG, Audi recently launched a limited edition of Audi A3 in Ebo, which is really a good way to attract traffic through popular stars.
But from a pragmatic point of view, the limited edition model is still 5000 yuan more expensive than the regular version. Where is the extra money? Will there be any other changes compared with the normal version? ? From the actual car map, the brand-new MG5 Chao Yueqing Luxury Limited Edition is actually based on the brand-new MG5 top model, and on this basis, the exclusive exterior painting of the car body is added, including the racing style extending from the front to the rear, the black decoration on the front enclosure and side skirts, and the black exterior rearview mirror, which looks very unique.
To be honest, when I first saw the brand-new MG5 limited edition car, my first impression was that it was too "sharp". Exaggerated front face design, sultry yellow painting, racing style, etc. Driving in the street always makes people look askance. When stopping at the roadside to rest, passers-by said, "Is this car worth hundreds of thousands?" It is enough to prove that its design is successful.
Of course, not only is the appearance changed, but its internal configuration has also been upgraded. For example, using a customized version of the car on a new car, including exclusive startup video of YCY version, exclusive AI image of YCY and exclusive intelligent voice package, as well as a technology-conscious IoT mobile phone remote control car. Of course, the Yamaha stereo, which is rare at the same level, is not behind. Imagine, in the process of long-distance driving, chatting with my sister all the way is still so beautiful.
What's more worth mentioning is that the space aluminium-sense drawing panel of the gearbox is also engraved with the exclusive YCY laser engraving signature, which is obviously very attractive to those fans who want my signature. Just like you bought a pair of basketball shoes, if you have the signatures of beloved stars such as James and Kobe, its meaning will be completely different. So from this perspective alone, the extra 5000 yuan is very worthwhile.
As early as in the process of exploring the brand-new MG5 store, I have already introduced its static state in detail, so I won't go into details this time, mainly talking about the feeling of dynamic driving. In terms of power, the new MG5 has two power systems to choose from, namely 1.5T and 1.5L engines, with maximum power of 173 horsepower and 120 horsepower respectively. The gearbox is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual clutch gearbox and an 8-speed CVT gearbox. The new MG5 Chao Yueqing Deluxe Limited Edition for this test drive is equipped with the powertrain of 1.5T+7DCT.
From the actual experience, the throttle response of the new MG5 is still very positive when it starts, and the whole body is very light when it leaves lightly. With the deep step on the accelerator, the engine speed immediately rose to 4000 rpm. It seems that someone is pushing you hard behind your back, which is a bit fascinating. However, when the vehicle speed exceeds 100km/h, you can still feel the explosion in the rear section when you step on the accelerator deeply, which is rare in the same class.
As for the matching of gearbox, I think it is necessary to praise it. The dry dual clutch used before is often complained by users because of its obvious setback. However, MG always listens to customers' feedback. The brand-new 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox has been installed on the brand-new MG5, and the overall ride comfort has indeed improved a lot. Even at low speed, you won't feel obvious frustration. Of course, if you are still worried, I suggest you go to the 4S shop for a test drive.
As for the suspension, the new car adopts the common front McPherson+rear torsion beam suspension structure at this level. Many people may have some preconceived impressions when they see the torsion beam, but in fact, the torsion beam has no negative influence on the control and saves more space. From the actual experience, the suspension support of the whole vehicle is still excellent, even if it is cornering at high speed, it can give you enough confidence. But after all, limited by the structural design, car bounce still exists in the face of large bumpy road sections.
In addition, I personally think there are two things that can be improved: first, the damping of the steering wheel, perhaps considering the positioning of its sports models, makes the steering wheel feel heavy and less friendly to girls with little strength; Secondly, the NVH control of new cars performs well when the vehicle speed is lower than 80km/h, but when the vehicle speed is higher than 80km/h, the engine noise and wind noise are obvious, and the overall comfort needs to be improved.
From the market point of view alone, the new MG5 limited edition is not for the sake of volume, but more for the symbol of the whole car system. Of course, it is also a good way to attract traffic by jointly signing up popular stars for brand promotion. Judging from the actual performance of the new car, its appearance and interior design are aimed at young people, which can provide a little driving pleasure while maintaining the household attributes, which is also the original intention of the new MG5. If you are still wondering if this 5000 yuan is worth it? It's time to reflect on whether you are a "true fan" of YCY!
