Shanghai (Gasgoo)- The MG MULAN, a new all-electric vehicle model under the MG brand owned by SAIC Motor, made its global debut on June 13.

During an online launch event, the automaker revealed that the MG MULAN will be priced below 200,000 yuan ($29,680).

The new model is named after “Hua Mulan”, the well-known folk heroine in China, embodying the spirits of strength, courage and “being yourself”. Previously called MG CyberE and MG4, the new vehicle is being developed with global markets in mind. It rides on the new “Nebula” platform designed only for fully electric cars.

The automaker said the MULAN is designed to appeal to consumers in Chinese and overseas markets. Up front, the model features a shark-shaped nose section, three-eye headlights and a muscular bumper coupled with vertically placed air intakes. The lip spoiler offers a dynamic connotation.

The MULAN has a sporty crossover styling on the sides with a “floating” roof, a rising beltline, sharp creases on the door panels and shoulders, petal-shaped alloy wheels, as well as brake calipers orange.

The charging port is located on the rear quarter panel above the left wheel arch.

At the rear, the Y-shaped taillights run almost the full width of the car, but their fusion has been intercepted by an ‘MG’ logo in the middle.

The MULAN is 4287mm long, 1836mm wide, 1516mm high, with a wheelbase of 2705mm.

The new model is equipped with an electric motor supplied by UAES with a power of up to 150 kW. The ternary battery is offered by Ningde E-CON Power System Co., Ltd., which is indirectly supported by SAIC Motor.

The MG MULAN can go from standstill to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.

Additionally, the vehicle adopts a rear-wheel-drive configuration coupled with a five-link rear suspension system.

Notably, the MG MULAN features the “zero thermal track” system to prevent it from catching fire or a thermal runaway incident. It will also offer what MG calls “LBS recumbent cells,” which promise higher energy density and allow for a slimmer battery to maximize cockpit space.
