They say that "truth is stranger than fiction" and that it is true. At least in the case of the MG Mulan. Doesn't it sound like something to you? Well, it should since the name of a famous Chinese heroine appears in its trade name. Indeed, she is the same one who starred in that disney tape and that according to legend it seems that he lived at some point in the Northern Wei dynasty. Or at least that's what history says, and we won't go against it.
In short, to honor its historical memory, the guys at SAIC Motor have chosen this name for their new MG. But the surprise is greater when we have discovered that this Mulan is the same EH32 which we have already talked about. The first time when the design of its bodywork was leaked through its patent. Then for a video teaser and finally with the capture of some photos in the factory where it will be assembled. Well, it's official and that's how it looks live...
The new MG Mulan measures 4,3 meters and will arrive in Europe, with another name, to rival the Volkswagen ID.3…
As you can see in the photos the aesthetics of the MG Mulan wins a lot when we put color on it. As a whole it looks modern and risky although not at all out of tune.

On the side it presents arrow shape with very marked tension lines and a roof that sports a descending profile…
In this area we cannot ignore the black heels or the generous alloy wheels. Behind them are red-painted brake calipers that also look oversized. In last place we have the rear. At the time we already advanced that it looked like the new Hyundai i20 but not. This was so because his optics were assimilated and seeing him in his final form shows that they were not. In addition, the double roof spoiler It brings a very racing touch...
They complete the rear bumper with simple lines that contrasts with the sports diffuser. Finally, a detail to note. In the central area there is an "invisible" line that goes from the double split spoiler and passes through the MG logo wrapped in black plastic to end in the fog light located in a very low position. Still, it has a body that reaches 4,3 meters that sits on the new, and modern, nebula platform...
For now we do not have data on the electric drivetrain. However we know the time you need to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour: 4 seconds. This figure places it as a direct rival to the Nissan Leaf or the Volkswagen ID.3. And not only that, MG boasts that the Mulan has 5G technology and autonomous driving level 3. However, we will know the final technical data for Europe in the fourth quarter of this year before it arrives in 2023...
