On the evening of September 13, the official price of MG MULAN was announced:
The rear-wheel-drive version is divided into three models:
-
425 km Fashion Edition: ¥129,800;
-
425 km Luxury Edition: ¥139,800;
-
520 km Flagship Edition: ¥163,900.
Four-wheel-drive:
- 460 km Four-wheel Drive Celebration Edition: ¥186,800!
This price is much more reasonable than the European version, even if the shipping cost is deducted. Especially for the four-wheel-drive version, it not only fulfilled the promise of a price below 200,000 yuan before, but also lowered the price to 186,800 yuan! This makes MG MULAN a member of the “3-second club” and the cheapest entry ticket.
Among the four models of MG MULAN, the four-wheel-drive version and the top-of-the-line 520 km rear-wheel-drive use a 64 kWh battery, while the others use a 51 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery.
The 425 km version uses a 125 kW motor; the 520 km version uses a 150 kW rear-wheel-drive motor; the four-wheel-drive version upgrades the rear motor to 165 kW and adds a 150 kW front motor, forming a 3.8-second acceleration to 100 km/h small sports car.
At the same time, the turning radius of MG MULAN can reach 5.3 meters, the axle load ratio is 50:50, and it uses a front MacPherson and rear five-link independent suspension configuration, with a center of gravity height of 490 mm.
For customers who purchase a car from now until the end of the month, they can enjoy a down payment gift of ¥2,000-3,000, priority delivery rights, free charging pile installation services, three-lifetime quality guarantees for the powertrain, and lifetime free basic traffic, up to ¥6,000 for additional purchase subsidies or financial interest rate discounts.
Among the pure electric vehicles in the 100,000-200,000 yuan price range, with such a sincere product in terms of price and configuration, how many units do you think MG MULAN can sell per month?

MG CEO Zhang Liang: MG MULAN targets Model 2
The length, width, and height of the entire car are 4,287 x 1,836 x 1,516 mm, and the wheelbase is 2,705 mm.
From the side, B and C pillars are all designed in glossy black, and the overall look will be stronger after the rear window is filmed.
The rear of MG MULAN has the most exaggerated and complicated design, with a split hollow wing at the top, interrupted continuous light group in the middle, and MG logo embedded in the center. When lit up, the prominent tail light group will also display the star chart of the “Cygnus” constellation. There is also a relatively large deflector at the bottom to streamline the airflow.
The interior style of MG MULAN differs from the sporty exterior, and is relatively simple overall. Unlike new electric cars that focus on a large screen, the visual center of MG MULAN is a 7-inch instrument and a 10.25-inch central control screen.
The interior style of MG MULAN leans towards home use, which can also be seen from its storage design. In addition to the regular door panels, armrest boxes, and glove boxes, MG MULAN also adds “pockets” behind the first-row seats to expand the storage space for rear passengers.
Final Words
Currently, the product that strongly competes with MG MULAN is Volkswagen’s ID.3. However, in terms of size, configuration, benefits, and even power, MULAN has more advantages.
Moreover, in the 100-200k RMB pure electric market, there is indeed a lack of a phenomenal best-selling product. Do you think MG MULAN can become a best-selling product?
