MG ONE SUV breaks cover; previews brand's new design language
What's the story
As a preview of its new design language and architecture, British automaker MG Motor has unveiled its ONE SUV. It is offered in two versions: Fashionable and Sporty. The vehicle is based on the SIGMA platform and has a head-turning look. It is expected to have a tech-loaded cabin and should be powered by a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine. Here are more details.
Exteriors
The car sports a 3D grille and dual exhaust tips
The MG ONE has a sloping roofline, a sculpted bonnet, a blacked-out 3D grille, a wide air vent, and sharp-looking LED headlights with DRLs. It is flanked by silvered roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, black cladding on the wheel arches, and designer wheels. Wrap-around LED taillights, a black spoiler, a tailgate-mounted number plate recess, and twin exhaust tips are available on the rear end.
Information
It should run on a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine
MG ONE is expected to be fueled by a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or a DCT gearbox. The mill should generate around 170-180hp of power and 250-260Nm of peak torque.
Interiors
Semi-autonomous driving and connected car technology should be offered
MG ONE is expected to have a spacious cabin with auto climate control, a sunroof, parking sensors, and a multifunctional steering wheel with cruise control. The car will pack a touchscreen infotainment console with support for connected car technology. Passengers' safety will be ensured by multiple airbags, a rear-view camera, crash sensors, ABS, and EBD. Semi-autonomous driving technology might also be available.
