2017年 英国车评
MG确实在这些年里发生了很大的变化，从以前更传统、更具英国风格的设计，变成了更现代化、更适合当今市场的车型。这一转变部分可能是因为其所有权的变化——MG现在由中国公司上汽集团（SAIC）拥有。这是GS，它是MG推出的第三款进入英国市场的车型，旨在打入英国不断增长的SUV市场。我将这辆车开了一周，并会在威尔士的道路、山丘和山谷中试驾，以了解它到底有多好，以及它在今天的市场中有多适应。
那么，驾驶体验如何呢？在高速公路上表现不错。你可以使用巡航控制，设定想要的速度，然后几乎让车自己行驶。有时速度会稍微波动，降下来，然后当车尝试恢复设定的速度时，你能感觉到一个轻微的加速。除此之外，在高速公路上，它行驶得很平稳。在乡村道路上，它是一辆大车，转弯时会有些侧倾。悬架系统可能可以调得更硬一些，这样在弯道时稳定性会更好。侧倾有点多，座椅也不够抓紧你，让你在弯道时保持稳定。
MG本身动力不错，提速也挺顺畅的。有点吵——我不得不提高声音才能听到。噪音方面，可以做得更好些。但整体上，它的表现不算太差。转速到3000转时会有一些振动，但由于有6速变速箱，我并不经常达到这个转速区间。
在引擎盖下，你会发现一台1.5升的涡轮增压发动机，输出164马力和250牛米的扭矩，在4300转时达到峰值。这对于这辆车的大小来说已经足够了。事实上，它在威尔士的弯弯曲曲的乡村道路上以及高速公路上表现都很出色。
在外观方面，这款Excite车型没有LED大灯或雾灯，也没有电动折叠后视镜——这些功能留给了更高配置的车型。但你仍然能得到干净、锋利、精致的外观设计。你也有日间行车灯，总体来说，这是一辆外观不错的车。
作为一辆SUV，MG GS应该拥有不错的后备箱容量。事实上，后尾门下方的覆盖板下面，你有483升的标准容积。为做对比，日产逍客的后备箱容积为430升，斯柯达Yeti则为418升。MG还为GS配备了60/40的后排座椅分割设计，意味着你可以根据需要选择装载大型或长型物品，同时还保留后排乘客座位。座椅可以完全放倒，从而增加更多的空间。
内饰方面，呈现出非常干净、简洁的设计。这是MG从推出MG3时学到的，在MG6中并不太明显。你有一个6速变速箱，还有一个8英寸的触摸屏，它支持DAB广播和蓝牙连接。方向盘可以调节倾角，中央控制台和手套箱也一应俱全。
后排有足够的空间供三名乘客乘坐，如果只坐两个人，中间有一个可折叠的扶手，增加舒适性。座椅也可以稍微向后倾斜，视你的需求而定。座椅本身相当舒适，但可能不如一些高端车型那么舒适。它们是织物材质的，有时可能有点滑，但对于这个价位的车来说，你不能要求太多。以这个价格，它们已经很合适了。
开了一周这辆车，走遍了威尔士的乡村道路和高速公路，我的感受如何？说实话，我很喜欢这辆车。是的，有一些小问题。变速箱有时会让你以为它能应对某些情况，但实际上不能；挡风玻璃可能需要调整；而且我依然不习惯数字燃油表，我更喜欢知道油箱里具体还剩多少油。但总的来说，它很舒适，动力够用，能应对山丘和高速公路。在快速弯道上，你不会感觉到失控。
想想这个：GS的售价从15,000英镑起。对比一下，起亚狮跑起售价大约为18,000英镑，日产逍客（市场领导者）起售价为19,000英镑，而福特翼虎则要21,000英镑。那么，像这样的车只要15,000英镑？其实并不是那么难做的决定，对吧？
MG has certainly changed over the years, moving from something more traditional and British-looking to something far more modern and suited to today's market. That change could be in part due to a change in ownership—MG is now owned by SAIC, a Chinese firm. This is the GS, their third model to come to the UK. It's an attempt to crack the bulging and growing SUV market in the country. I've got this for the next week, and I'm going to be taking it around the roads, hills, and valleys of Wales to find out just how good it is and how suited it is to the market today.
So, what's it like to drive? Well, not bad on the motorway. You've got cruise control, so you can actually set the speed you want and pretty much let it rest. Sometimes it fluctuates a little, dropping below, and then you get a little obvious kick when it comes back in, trying to achieve that speed. Other than that, on the motorway, it's nice, flat, and steady. On country roads, it's a big car, and there's a bit of roll. The suspension setup could maybe be a bit firmer in the corners. There's a bit too much lean, and the seats don't grab you enough to actually hold you through that.
The MG itself is quite pokey; it picks up quite nicely. It's a bit noisy—I'm having to speak up a little bit. It's not quite as quiet as it could be. But overall, it doesn't perform too badly. There's a bit of vibration at 3,000 rpm, but with a 6-speed gearbox, I'm not there very often.
Under the bonnet, you'll find a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 164 brake horsepower and 250 Newton meters of torque at 4,300 rpm. It's perfectly adequate for the size of the car. In fact, it performed really well on the twisty, windy roads of Wales as well as on the motorways.
On the outside, you don't get LED headlights or fog lights on this Excite model, nor do you get power-fold mirrors—those are reserved for the higher model. But you do get clean, sharp, precise looks. You get daytime running lights, and overall, it's a nice-looking car.
Being an SUV, the MG GS should have decent boot capacity. In fact, behind the rear tailgate, beneath the cover flap, you have 483 liters of capacity as standard. To put that into context, the Nissan Qashqai has around 430 liters, and the Skoda Yeti around 418 liters. MG has also furnished the GS with a 60/40 rear seat split, meaning you can choose whether you need more space for large or long loads, while still having passengers in the back. The seats fold flat, increasing the capacity even more.
Inside, you're faced with a very clean and crisp interior—something MG learned from the MG3 when that first came out. This was not really present in the MG6. You have a 6-speed gearbox and an 8-inch touchscreen panel that allows you to use DAB radio and Bluetooth. There's also a rake-adjustable steering wheel, center console, and glovebox.
In the back, there's room for three passengers, and if you're only carrying two, there's a fold-down armrest for extra comfort. The seats can also recline slightly, depending on your needs. The seats themselves are fairly comfortable, but maybe not up to the comfort level of more leading models. They're finished in fabric, which can be a bit slippery at times, but for a car in this budget, you can't expect too much more. For the price, they're perfectly adequate.
After driving this car for a week, taking it around the country roads of Wales and on the motorways, what do I think? Personally, I love it. Yes, there are a few little niggles. The gearbox sometimes tricks you into thinking it can cope when it can't, the windscreen might need adjusting, and I still can't get on board with the digital fuel gauge—I prefer knowing exactly how much fuel I've got in the tank. But overall, it's comfortable, it pulls well, and it works on hills and motorways. You don't feel like you're going to lose control in fast bends.
And think about this—the GS range starts at £15,000. To put that into context, the Kia Sportage starts at around £18,000, the Nissan Qashqai (a market leader) starts at £19,000, and a Ford Kuga is £21,000. So, £15,000 for a car like this? It's not exactly a complex decision, is it?
