Stop bringing up "CORSS" all the time! Discussing CORSS: The "Overheated" Phenomenon of the MG7; the "CORSS" Model, "CORSS" Style, and "CORSS" have become buzzwords for 2008. So, what exactly is CORSS? CORSS refers to a cross-boundary fusion approach that, when applied to car design philosophy, emphasizes balanced advantages in handling, power, adaptability, and style. Among the current domestic car market, the three most representative "CORSS" models that are "promoted," are they truly deserving of the title, or are they merely imitating others without substance?
MG 3SW:
As the first British two-box car with CORSS styling in China, the MG 3SW embodies the four characteristics of "handling, power, adaptability, and style" found in CORSS models, achieving a very high standard. A compact MacPherson independent front suspension, combined with a subframe and longitudinal thrust rod, achieves a perfect combination of handling and comfort. The 1.8L engine features the largest displacement full-aluminum racing-grade engine in its class, paired with an imported CVT automatic transmission. The 1.4L model is matched with an original imported five-speed full-aluminum manual transmission, with a specific power output reaching 54.4 kW/L, approaching or even surpassing some 1.6L engines, reaching the best level of domestic engines. Designed specifically for urban road weaving and driving, the MG 3SW is equipped with the same high-performance sports chassis as the MG7. A ground clearance exceeding 160mm greatly enhances the vehicle's off-road capability. The front subframe connects the body and suspension system, doubling the overall strength while lowering the center of gravity for more stable driving. The MG 3SW inherits the perfect British style, with a black honeycomb structure grille, a wide, protruding one-piece black bumper, and extensive use of rigid lines fully embodying the rugged and wild crossover style of the MG 3SW.
CROSSPOLO:
In addition to achieving a passionate leap in car design, CROSSPOLO also brings an upgrade in driving pleasure. This car’s higher ground clearance can better handle difficult sections, greatly improving the vehicle's passability. Meanwhile, the stiff suspension provides excellent handling, allowing drivers to better enjoy the pleasure of driving. The metal roof rack and outstanding luggage capacity and load weight make CROSSPOLO possess the practical luggage carrying ability similar to a station wagon. It can be said that whether in bustling metropolises or leisurely suburbs, CROSSPOLO can handle it all effortlessly.
Suzuki SX4:
As one of the representatives of Japanese CROSS cars, the Suzuki SX4 two-box is one of the earlier CORSS-branded models in the domestic market. In terms of powertrain and control systems, it follows the design of the three-box version of Suzuki SX4, while its exterior design highlights a fashionable and sporty taste. Not every style crossover is a Cross. If having just an SUV shell without driving pleasure can also be called Cross, then the "pickup" that was once popular in the Chinese market could also be called a Cross model. However, we all know that pickups at most can only be described as a "four不像" cobbled together from trucks and SUVs. Cross models refer more to having superior performance in multiple styles. Simply put, they can be summarized into four aspects: handling, power, adaptability, and style. From this perspective, both CROSSPOLO and MG 3SW demonstrate the excellent comfort of fashionable sedans and the handling of sports sedans, as well as the strong adaptability of off-road vehicles, truly becoming representatives of Cross. The Suzuki SX4 stands out more in style and comfort, and whether it can be included in the Cross category is still questionable. At least it can be affirmed that under the defined standards of Cross models, those who define new cars as "Cross" will eventually have nowhere to hide.
