Let’s take a look.
Why is it named MULAN? Many people will mistakenly think that it is for the female market, but this is not the case. Mulan is a young heroic figure in ancient China. She joins the army for her father, protects her family and country, is brave and good at fighting, and is as good as women. Therefore, she represents hard power, overall perspective and the spirit of daring to break through the constraints of tradition. This spirit is consistent with MG MULAN, so it is passed on to everyone.
Build the first global model to demonstrate the strength of Chinese brands
When it comes to the design of MG, you have to understand its historical background. In fact, it has already become internationalized at the earliest, because it itself has British origins. Although it was rebuilt for the domestic market after localization, it still retains MG's sports genes.

Judging from the vast majority of current new cars, no one is adhering to traditional conservative ideas, but is turning to a more avant-garde and fashionable design language.
MG MULAN is operated by SAIC's global design team, integrating SAIC's global design resources and jointly designed by Chinese and British design teams. The new car is not only aimed at the Chinese consumer market, but also meets the needs of the European market. Therefore, the design balances Eastern and Western aesthetics to create a more fashionable and personalized model.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of MG MULAN are 4287/1836/1516mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 2705mm. In addition, you can see that its A-pillar has been moved forward, giving it a greater space advantage, and the design of narrow windows further improves the overall appearance. The manufacturer also positioned MULAN as the electric native model XFV, which is an experience-fusion crossover vehicle.
In terms of body color, the new car offers a total of 6 body color options: Chongrong Green, Bright White, Light Speed Silver, Red Flame Red, Andes Gray and Brighton Blue. Judging from the color designs, most of them are more individual and aimed at the tastes of young people.
