SAIC MG begins ‘Shake Run’ in Zhengzhou’
MG “Shake Run” starts in Zhengzhou, capital of central China’s Henan province on September 26.
Chinese pop singers and bands presented a music feast at the event. While SAIC’s popular MG GS sport utility vehicles with an extra-long wheel base of 2,650mm and a 1,336-liter spacious trunk provided services to the runners all the way along.
Beginning with Zhengzhou, the event will be held in nine major Chinese cities from September to November.
Before the “Shake Run”, a fuel economy contest had held in downtown Zhengzhou on the afternoon of September 26. MG GS’s performance of consuming 5.52 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers was very close to its minimum consumption of 5.44 liters per hundred kilometers during previous testing.
The champion driver said: “If I would not have driven the car myself, I would not believe it consumed so little oil. MG GS is such a big SUV, and yet it’s more fuel-efficient than a small sedan; it’s incredible! ”
