Not an SUV, not a sedan, is the MG MULAN an XFV? (With real shot pictures)

On June 24th, I was invited to attend the MG MULAN design tasting event, which was also the first offline media event I attended after experiencing the Shanghai epidemic.

If you want to deepen your understanding of MG or SAIC, you can read the long article by clicking on the link: MG CEO Zhang Liang: MG MULAN targets Model 2

The following are the known information about MG MULAN:

  • The length, width, and height are 4,287 x 1,836 x 1,516 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,705 mm;

  • The 125 kW motor corresponds to a lithium iron phosphate battery with a weight of 2,062 kg, and the 150 kW motor corresponds to a ternary lithium battery with a weight of 2,086 kg;

  • It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds;

  • It has a turning radius of 5.3 meters;

  • The front and rear axle load ratio is 50:50;

  • It has rear-wheel drive and a five-link suspension;

  • It features a DP-EPS steering system and One-Box electric braking system;

  • The center of gravity height is 490 mm.

Offline, I finally saw the MG MULAN that MG and even SAIC were hoping for.

  • The main color is “Cong Rong Green”, but it doesn’t look as bright as the promotional posters in reality;

  • The front design inherits the MG family design, with a fold-like design resembling an air intake on the hood;

  • The overall shape doesn’t look much like an SUV. In the words of Shao Jingfeng (Deputy Chief Designer of SAIC Innovation and Development), it is an XFV model which we can simply understand as a crossover vehicle;

  • The tail design is the most exaggerated and complex, with a separate hollow tail wing on the top, an MG logo embedded in the horizontally stretched light module in the middle, and a clear air flow control at the bottom;

  • It’s worth mentioning the prominent horizontally stretched light module, which carefully outlines the constellation of “Swan” when lit up.
