Long-term test of MG 5 flagship edition branded with young sports

● Voice Assistant supports no wake-up for up to 90 seconds;

　　The voice assistant has the function of partition recognition, and the cartoon image is displayed where the instruction comes from. For some cars equipped with partitioned automatic air conditioners, the voice assistant can automatically adjust the air conditioning temperature in the corresponding area according to the source of instructions, but the air conditioner of MG 5 has only one temperature zone. At present, the main function of voice partition is to help the driver open and close the main driver’s window (the auxiliary driver’s window does not support voice instructions to open and close). VENUS system has a waiting time of up to 90 seconds after waking up the voice assistant. During this time, the user can just say the instructions without repeating the wake-up words. However, because the assistant often "monitors" the conversation when I chat with my wife and enters a lot of useless instructions, I finally choose to turn this function off.

　　Online entertainment resources and high-tech navigation functions have become the standard of all networked car systems. In addition, I think the situational mode on VENUS is commendable. The system provides six preset scenes, and the air conditioning, music and window state are different in different scenes, which can make the cockpit state meet different environments. I think this design is very intimate.

　　VENUS system supports the home appliances under the Tmall Ecosphere, covering brands such as Midea and Haier. The devices that can be remotely controlled include smart audio, lamps, sweeping robots, small kitchen appliances, etc. Please visit the Tmall Elf mobile phone application for a detailed list. In addition to using the voice assistant of the car to control the electrical appliances at home, you can also remotely control the air conditioning and other equipment of the vehicle through the intelligent audio at home, and prepare a suitable and clean cockpit environment in advance before departure. In addition, some riders expressed their hope that SAIC could add remote control function to MG 5, but at present, only the limited version launched before can realize remote control. It is a pity that the later version only has remote data viewing and no remote control.

　　Other hardware performance is also good. As a top-of-the-line version except limited edition models, this flagship version of Qingluxury also comes standard with Yamaha 6 speaker audio and driving recorder. The sound stage effect of Yamaha audio is quite good, especially when playing bass, the overall texture will be very powerful and shocking. The driving recorder records video through the front camera behind the windshield, but at present, the recorder only supports the maximum memory card of 32G, and the overall picture quality is not very good. I finally added a recorder with a wide-angle lens.

● Fuel consumption performance:

　　After returning to Shanghai from Wuhu for a period of time, the main activity area was in the urban area of Shanghai. With the increase of the proportion of urban road conditions and the influence of the continuous opening of air conditioners, the daily fuel consumption rose linearly. During this period, a total of about 347 kilometers were traveled, and the fuel consumption was close to 40 liters. The measured comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was about 11.4 liters.

　　Finally, let’s put an egg. Another east-west artery in Shanghai, the west section of the North Cross Passage, was officially opened on June 18th. At present, there are both underground tunnels and elevated sections in the west section, and the line is not only curved, but also constantly changing. Here, let’s put a video of the front of the car recorded by the driving recorder for everyone to enjoy.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

Low article summary:

　　Zebra VENUS system has reached the leading level in application richness, voice assistant friendliness and interface interaction design, which is comparable to many car coupling systems based on small car OS and Tencent car coupling TAI. Looking at the compact family car market within 100,000, although there are quite a few competing cars of China brand equipped with networked cars, compared with the zebra VENUS system, MG 5 can still be regarded as the first in terms of function and interconnection ecology. Of course, for some inconvenient designs, I hope that the official will continue to improve in the form of OTA upgrade in the future, so that VENUS system will continue to be in a leading and friendly state.
