Ignoring Cadillac CT5 and Audi A4L's MG MG7 Black Standard Edition.

Immediately after the test drive of SAIC MG7, I feel that my own brand is rapidly rising, and I am rapidly surpassing the joint venture brand in technology and configuration, and the joint venture brand is just around the corner.

When I first saw MG7, I immediately felt the vitality of a sport. The lines of MG7 run smoothly through the whole car body, which brings the visual effect that the center of gravity moves backward and makes the car body more elegant. Smooth self-closing body and sliding back rear design create an elegant low profile. The highlight of MG7 is the rear of the car, and the adaptive three-stage electric tail shows the super-running style, which makes you rise several grades in the street immediately. In daily driving, the slightly raised duck tail meets the downward pressure demand at normal speed, while the tail is accommodated in the hatchback tailgate, which highlights the simple movement effect of the tail. When the speed is greater than 100km/h, the tail automatically rises and opens, which brings more stable high-speed driving and handling performance.

With the tail wing, there are also true bilateral four-outlet tail rows and lower diffusers, which further highlight its sports style. Stainless steel natural color bilateral exhaust not only creates the visual impact of sports, but also brings pleasant exhaust sound, which complements the high-performance engine and becomes the finishing touch of the whole vehicle. The frameless door with tidal running style brings dynamic and elegant coexistence, visually integrates the door with the whole vehicle, broadens the driving vision and is full of super-running style. The application of frameless doors also shows the excellent design and manufacturing technology of MG7. After all, frameless doors will work harder to eliminate noise.

When I got into the cab, I immediately felt the driving feeling of MG7. The double flat-bottomed steering wheel is very personalized and comfortable. Dual LCD screens bring excellent visual effects, and the contents of the instrument are also very rich, not only the tire pressure, but also the tire temperature, so that you can see the state of the wheels at a glance when driving passionately. There is also information such as the boost pressure value of the engine, which can be said to be very rich in information display content in the same level of products. The X mode button on the steering wheel is a bright spot, which allows the driver to make various choices at any time, which is also the bright spot of the current super sports car.

Engage in the D gear, select the sport mode, and feel the power explosion without hesitation at the moment when you step on the MG7 accelerator pedal deeply, which will bring smooth speed increase. It turns out that MG7 is equipped with the highest configuration in its class-SAIC's third-generation blue-core 2.0T high-performance black-label engine +9AT automatic transmission. Among them, the 2.0T high-performance black-label engine has brought sufficient power reserve, and the torque response rate of the supercharged section reaches 350Nm/s, which exceeds the international brand high-performance engine of the same level. This engine won the "Top Ten Engines in China" in 2022 because of its excellent performance, which proved its advantages. The maximum output power is 192kW, the maximum torque is 405Nm, the peak torque is 1750 rpm, and the thermal efficiency is as high as 39.3%.

Many high technologies are the highlights of this 2.0T engine. The third generation Blue Core 2.0T adopts many core technologies independently developed, such as SAIC-VGT supercharger, DVVL intelligent variable valve lift, dual variable intake phase, deep Miller cycle, variable oil pump, etc., and redefines the new height of internal combustion engine by combining with SAIC's independent core control algorithm. In actual driving, you can feel its excellent power performance in the full speed range, and it can perfectly balance power, fuel economy, comfort and durability. The 2.0T engine and 9AT automatic transmission have brought good results of 6.5s, and the fuel consumption in NEDC is as low as 6.2L/ 100km.

Among them, VGT variable cross-section turbocharging can effectively improve the traditional supercharger's delay in response. The speed to reach the peak torque is only 1750rpm, the time is shortened by 30%, the power comes and goes freely, and the response is crisp. DVVL intelligent variable valve lift can effectively improve the instantaneous response of the engine, realize accurate calibration control strategy, improve fuel economy by 5% and power performance by 3%. In addition, SAIC's brand-new 9AT gearbox has realized smoother gear shifting, abundant low-speed power, high-speed mute and energy saving, and kept the low speed of 1830rpm at the speed of120km/h/h. If you want to show off your sports passion, you can directly turn on the exhaust sound of the engine, and the sound of passion is endless, which directly brings the passion of the sports car.

Compared with A4L matching Audi's high-power version of 2.0T engine +7DCT transmission, the transmission advantage is obvious at first glance, while the third-generation blue core 2.0T engine also has great data advantage compared with A4L's 185kW/370Nm, and the actual driving effect shows that the advantage of MG7 is also obvious. MG7 accelerates by 0. 1s, and the average fuel consumption of NEDC is 65438 lower.

The maximum power of the third-generation blue core 2.0T is 192kW higher than that of the new engine of S60, and the maximum torque of 405Nm is much higher than that of S60' s 350Nm. 9AT also brings smoother and faster speed-up effect than that of S60' s 8AT, and the speed from standstill to 100km/h is 0.4s faster than that of S60' s 6.9s .. Except that MG7 does not apply 48V technology. S60 and MG7 are both equipped with the same Michelin ePrimacy, which makes the two models completely comparable.

Speaking of chassis, MG7 has done its homework. Initially, it was built based on the electromechanical integration structure of Mount Everest honed by SAIC for ten years. With the characteristics of high rigidity and low center of gravity, the chassis texture has reached the level of mainstream first-line joint venture models and even luxury cars. MG7 shows a strong advantage in chassis configuration. Equipped with the only E-LSD electronic limited slip differential within 500,000, it brings a very high upper limit of maneuverability. It can inhibit tire slippage and comprehensively improve the safety under complex road conditions. It can also restrain yaw, improve handling stability, greatly improve cornering speed, and bring better track performance for MG7. It can be continuously adjusted by 0%- 100%, bringing the perfect posture of high-speed cornering without pushing the head or swinging the tail.

Another sharp weapon of MG7 is the only mCDC intelligent adjustable electronic control suspension within 200,000, which makes the vehicle more stable when driving at high speed. At the same time, it can match different damping coefficients according to the road conditions and real-time response to road fluctuations in milliseconds, thus reducing road impact and improving driving comfort. It can also give consideration to elegance and sports according to different driving modes. You know, only Regal GS and BMW 4 Series have this kind of high technology at the same level. In actual driving, the suspension in sports mode perfectly overcomes the bumpy feeling of the pit and brings a more comfortable driving experience.

MG7 also has DP-EPS dual pinion electric power steering +VGR variable transmission ratio steering system, which improves steering efficiency and cornering response, and makes steering more sensitive, efficient at low speed and stable at high speed. During driving, you can not only feel that variable power steering will bring more feedback in sports mode, which will bring more accurate and stable driving, but also realize the large angle transformation of the vehicle with a small angle of the steering wheel when parking at low speed and turning around the street, which will bring easier operation.

In addition to sports performance, the comfort of MG7 has also been fully reflected. The 9AT gearbox on MG7 can ensure smooth power output, and has excellent vehicle quietness and vibration filtering performance, creating an advanced driving feel. The whole vehicle is covered with 44 kinds of sound-absorbing materials, and 2 1 key parts such as the front cabin acoustic package, the lower body acoustic package and the body cavity are sound-insulated, and the noise reduction effect is comparable to that of luxury models. 140kph, the language clarity is 64.7%, and the conversation in the car is still calm when driving at super high speed.

MG7 also brought a musical feast on wheels. According to MG7' s unique cockpit acoustic fingerprint, a deep-sea surround sound system with 14 high-performance speaker and +BOSE Centerpoint is customized, which brings full-frequency melody, exquisite and melodious high frequency and strong low-frequency accurate reproduction sound quality, presents natural and realistic music details, and gives passengers an immersive and extreme auditory experience. Luxury car exclusive suede Dinamica? Many places in the car are covered with this material, which brings a sense of high quality. The glass dome that can be opened at the top creates the ultimate sense of transparency, and the everted opening brings an unusual sense of conversion, which has triple protection of light, sun and heat and effectively resists ultraviolet rays.

MG7 has a perfect coupe length-width ratio. The aspect ratio of 0.766 brings a lower center of gravity, creates a wide-body and low-lying visual effect, and has more advantages in space. The length/width/height/wheelbase of MG7 has reached 4884/1889/1447/2778mm, which is greater than that of Volvo S60, which is 4778/1850/1473/2872mm. The MG7 is also a little bigger than the Audi A4L, and its body size is 4858/1847/141/2908mm.

For the Cadillac XT5 with the body size of 4924/1883/1445/2947mm, not only the 2.0T engine of MG7 beat the 2.0t engine of XT5 174kW/350Nm, but also beat the 7.3s of XT5 and MG7 at a speed of 6.5s per 100km..
