To meet various users' behaviors, SAIC Motor's R&D team designed and developed the model based on local conditions of different regions. For instance, in Europe, the MG MULAN (MG4 ELECTRIC) features a more concise interior and a harder chassis tuning than that of in China. In the Middle East, the cooling ability of the air-conditioning system has been improved to tackle the frequent torridity; in the mountainous region of Chile, the model's gradeability has been increased by 20%.
