Recently, MG, a sub-brand of SAIC, launched two new MG Mulan models in China with 425km (Flagship version) and 520km (Deluxe version) cruising ranges. The price starts at 147,800 RMB (20,500 USD) and 153,800 RMB (21,300 USD) after subsidies. MG Mulan is a pure electric five-door hatchback built on SAIC’s Modular Scalable Platform (known as Nebula Platform in China) and fitted with Rubik’s Cube batteries. The MG Mulan is known as MG4 in Europe.
The size of the car is 4287/1836/1516mm with a 2705mm wheelbase.
Customers can choose from seven body colors of pink, green, blue, grey, white, silver, and red.
Marketed as a compact family car, the MG Mulan features LED headlights, taillights, a large panoramic sunroof, and a dynamic rear spoiler. At the front, the MG logo occupies a spot on the lip above the grille, while it is located in the middle of the wraparound taillight system at the rear.
Inside, the vehicle adopts a clean and simple layout with a flat-bottom steering wheel, 7-inch instrument panel, and a 10.25-inch floating central control screen. Buyers can choose from three interior color schemes: black, black & gray, and red & white. The center console comes with a wireless charging board and a rotary shifter while other features include a 360° surround-view camera system, keyless entry, heated front seats, and an air purification system.
Compared with the 425km range Flagship version, the 520km range Deluxe version is equipped with level 2 driving assistance functions which include automatic cruise control and lane keep assist.
Lastly, the MG Mulan Flagship version is equipped with a single rear motor with 125kW and 250Nm, and a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 51kWh. The Deluxe version has a maximum motor power of 150kW, a peak torque of 250Nm, and equipped with a 64kWh ternary lithium battery. In addition, MG Mulan also provides a dual-motor four-wheel drive version with a combined power of 315kW and a combined torque of 600Nm. MG also claims that its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 3.8 seconds.
Any word on when a 77kwh model will be available – it will certainly dent ID3/Born sales if available in world markets.
