Mg Motor Euniq 7: Auto expo 2023: MG Motor drives in Euniq 7 hydrogen cell MPV with 605 km range & a 3-minute refuelling time
MG Motor recently showcased several pure electric and plug-in hybrid models that are being evaluated for an India launch such as the MG 4 EV and the eHS hybrid SUV. The Euniq 7 is the last instalment of that display of capability by the brand.
The MPV gets a range of up to 605 km and the best part is it takes only 3 minutes to refuel, given that the source tank is holding optimum pressure as well.
With a system power of 92 kW, the world-leading fuel cell technology adheres to the highest safety standards and performs well over key performance indicators including those for comfort, fuel economy, and service life, the company said in a statement.
The unit on display at the expo sported a dual paint colour scheme and has a heavy chrome treatment on the front. It also featured wrap-around LED headlamps with projector units. Overall, the MPV is over 5 meters in length and almost 2 meters wide. It gets electric sliding doors on either side and a large glass area separated by the B-pillar.
“The PROME P390 system promises excellent performance on these parameters with EUNIQ 7, a hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicle, which not only has zero carbon emissions as it only emits water but also performs like an air purifier does, purifying air equivalent to 150 adults breathing in just one hour of driving,” said Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India.
Premium material is used on the inside, such as dual-tone perforated leather, the front seats had ventilation and memory functions and the instrument cluster had digital display and another large display sat in the middle for the infotainment, TOI reported.
The centre console had physical buttons for a variety of functions along with the rotary drive selector dial.
The Euniq 7 comes with two ottoman-style business-class seat units for the second row. These get neck support, powered thigh support, armrests and more. The MPV also gets dual sunroofs to adjust the ambience as per passenger convenience.
The Euniq 7 gets SAIC’s PROM 390 hydrogen fuel cell technology, which has high durability, power density and reliability. The system comes with a 6.4 kg high-pressure hydrogen cylinder that has been tested at temperatures of up to 824 degrees to ensure safety and peace of mind.
