Ege, a brand owned by Mitsubishi, may seem a bit unfamiliar to everyone. Since its launch, the popularity has not been high. It is a model between the powerful ASX and Outlander. Apart from its somewhat "poetic" name, how does it perform in other aspects? Today I will give you a brief analysis of the Mitsubishi Eige car.
This time, Mitsubishi Ege is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250N·m. Although the data is not eye-catching, from a domestic perspective, this 1.5T engine is relatively mainstream.
In terms of transmission layout, except for the lowest model equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the other models are equipped with a simulated 8-speed CVT gearbox, and the power output is very linear. In addition, there are paddle shifters on both sides of the steering wheel to enhance the fun of control.
The chassis layout of Yige adopts a more traditional front MacPherson/rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension structure, and the tuning is tough. The roll suppression is good when cornering. Compared with German cars, the rear axle of the Ege seems a bit thin, especially when passing speed bumps, and the high-end performance is insufficient.
At the same time, Mitsubishi Ego is equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system called S-AWC, which is equipped with an electric coupler and a center differential on the front and rear axles respectively. It will automatically determine the engagement degree of the coupler based on information such as wheel speed, accelerator opening and braking strength, thereby controlling the power output of the wheels, effectively improving the passability on multiple road conditions.
The interior layout of Yige is quite satisfactory, and the overall layout looks a bit retro. The physical buttons are clear and easy to control. Fortunately, the interior is covered with a lot of soft materials, which is kind. While there are some hard plastics here and there, there's not much of a cheap experience overall.
The central control is an 8-inch display screen, which is conventional in size but practical, and is standard equipment in the entire series. In terms of interconnection, this system only supports Baidu carlife, and Apple users can only play music through Bluetooth, which is a bit regretful.
In terms of other configurations, the top-of-the-line model is equipped with: head-up display, seat heating, electronic handbrake, dual-zone air conditioning, 360 surround view, dual sunroofs, one-button lifting and lowering of all windows, and other functions. The configuration performance is not very eye-catching, and it has little advantage compared with the same level.
The body size of Mitsubishi Ege is 4405/1805/1685mm, and the wheelbase is 2670mm. Compared with the competing Volkswagen Tange at the same level, the size of the Mitsubishi Euge has certain advantages, but compared with mainstream compact SUVs, such as the Roewe RX5, the body size of the Euge is not too large.
In terms of comfort, the rear seats are designed to be relatively straight, with higher cushions, and there is room for improvement in comfort. Independent headrests and a central armrest with cup holders are standard, but the rear row is only equipped with a 12V power supply and has no air-conditioning outlets, which reduces ride comfort.
Written at the end:
Based on comprehensive analysis, Mitsubishi Euge has a relatively good four-wheel drive layout, and its power level and mechanical quality are both good. Objectively speaking, although Yige is equipped with rich safety functions and is relatively kind, there are not many bright spots in other aspects, and it is difficult to form a differentiated advantage among its peers. You must know that in the price range of 180,000, you can not only buy many self-owned brand medium-sized SUVs, but also joint-venture brand compact SUVs with good product capabilities. Therefore, the low retention rate is also the fundamental reason why Mitsubishi Eige failed to break through. If you have car purchasing needs in this area, you might as well pay attention to this model.
