On the eve of the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show, the Sina Auto Report team captured the real SAIC MG ONE car in advance. The new car is built on the basis of SAIC Intelligent Global Modular Architecture SIGMA, and adopts the “third-generation family design”. It also introduces two appearance styles, α (digital intelligence sports) and β (technological fashion), to meet consumers’ diversity of sports and technology.化 demand. At the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show, the new car completed its debut at the auto show. In addition, MG Cyberster, which has ended crowdfunding and started co-creation, will also be unveiled at this Chengdu Auto Show, but the concept car version will still be unveiled this time.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the third-generation family design language, and “split” into two different appearances: α, which focuses on digital intelligence, and β, which focuses on technology and fashion. But overall, the two designs of MG ONE are very sharp and sporty.
The biggest difference between MG ONE α version and β version lies in the design of China Open. The alpha version of the main sports style is equipped with a large number of lightning-shaped decorations around the logo LOGO inside the China Open. The front face design of the beta version, which is biased towards the technological style, is relatively conservative, but in fact it brings a very wide visual experience through the dense horizontal trim.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a double waistline design, which effectively reduces the visual center of gravity of the new car, and at the same time strengthens the sense of layering on the side of the car, and has a stronger sense of muscle. With the fish scale decoration of the D-pillar and the blackened wheel eyebrow design, it sets off a strong athletic atmosphere. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4579/1866/1601 (1617) mm, and the wheelbase is 2670mm. In terms of color matching, the new car provides a variety of two-color body options, and provides a blackened sports kit, which can meet the personality choices of young users.
The tail of MG ONE continues its sporty style full of muscle texture. Due to the color matching of the two-tone body, the rear part has a strong sense of hierarchy. Although the new car does not use the popular through-type taillights, the design of the taillights not only echoes the headlights, but also has a strong recognition after the internal light strip is lit.
MG ONE will be the first model of SAIC Intelligent Global Modular Architecture SIGMA. The new architecture will also be unveiled for the first time. SAIC strives to create a four-force mechatronics architecture that supports full-scenario OTA upgrades of the entire vehicle and can gradually realize the power system/transmission. OTA upgrade of the system. The new electronic and electrical architecture can realize L3+ level assisted driving, create a cross-dimensional form, and realize the interaction between inside and outside of the car × MI, multi-screen fusion interaction, acoustic and optoelectronic spatial interaction, etc.
In terms of power, MG ONE is equipped with a 15C4E 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 181Ps.
As the first co-creation model project of the MG CyberCUBE user co-creation platform, MG Cyberster has completed the crowdfunding and entered the co-creation stage, which is one step closer to mass production. It is reported that the mass production of new cars will follow three principles: one is to highly restore the design of the MG Cyberster concept car;
The MG Cyberster concept car inherits the elements of the MG classic sports car and adopts a new design concept officially called the “wind hunter”, highlighting the rebellious spirit of cyberpunk with unusually exaggerated design elements.
In addition to the “rebellious” appearance design, the cockpit design of gaming style is also very attractive. The left and right separated cockpit is centered on the driver, and the large-size full LCD instrument with a high-angle central control screen encloses the driver. The interior interaction is achieved through full touch control, and is equipped with a gamepad steering wheel, which is very innovative.
According to previous news, the development of the MG Cyberster architecture and the three-electric system has been initially completed. The new car will have the ability to sprint from static to 100 km/h within 3 seconds, and can achieve a maximum endurance of 800 km. It will also have 5G interconnection capabilities based on a new intelligent pure electric architecture.
