The following explains the unique value of these key exterior components from the perspectives of component design, technical features, and scenario compatibility.
Headlights: From performance lighting to intelligent interaction, adapting to diverse positioning
The headlight designs of the four models are all centered around "function first, aesthetics second," yet each exhibits distinct characteristics depending on its positioning.
MG U9: Performance-Oriented Lighting Technology
As a pure electric performance coupe, the MG U9's headlights focus on "track-grade lighting" and "sporty identity." It features "blade-style" matrix LED headlights composed of 16 independent LED light sources, supporting a dedicated "Track Mode" lighting system. When activated, the headlights automatically adjust their illumination angle and range, extending the low-beam illumination width to 12 meters and the high-beam illumination distance to 200 meters, perfect for high-speed racetrack vision. Furthermore, the daytime running lights utilize a "pulsed" lighting effect, creating a high-frequency flashing effect when illuminated, enhancing the coupe's aggressive styling while quickly attracting the attention of other road users on urban roads.
In terms of intelligent features, the MG U9 is equipped with "AR-HUD Linked Headlights." When navigation is enabled, the headlights project arrow-shaped light trails on the ground based on the steering instructions displayed on the HUD, intuitively guiding the driver. Furthermore, the headlights have been tested in environments ranging from -40°C to 70°C, ensuring stable illumination even in the intense heat of track driving, preventing any potential lighting failures from impacting driver safety.
MAXUS/LDV Series: Scenario-Specific Practical Lighting
The MAXUS/LDV e-Terron, a model designed for both freight and commuting, features dual-lens LED headlights. Low-beam mode provides wide-area illumination, covering a 1.5-meter radius on either side of the lane, facilitating driver awareness when loading and unloading at night. High-beam mode features adaptive adjustment, automatically dimming based on the distance to oncoming vehicles to avoid obstructing their view.
The MAXUS XINGJI X, designed for family use, incorporates a "Parent-Child Mode" headlight. When the vehicle is parked, this mode maintains low headlight intensity for 15 seconds while lowering the headlights to avoid direct sunlight into children's eyes, making it easier for parents to pick up and drop off their children. The XINJI X EV, designed for urban commuting, features tunnel-sensing headlights that automatically activate within 0.3 seconds upon entering a tunnel, twice as fast as traditional automatic headlights and reduce blind spots in tunnels.
Front Bumper: A Differentiated Balance of Protection, Efficiency, and Performance
The front bumper designs of the four models are centered around "Performance Support," "Cargo Protection," "Home Safety," and "Commuting Efficiency," respectively, reflecting distinct positioning.
MG U9: Performance-First Aerodynamic Design
The MG U9's front bumper is constructed from a carbon fiber composite material, which reduces weight by 40% while increasing strength by two times compared to traditional plastic bumpers. This material can withstand the pressure of track driving while reducing repair costs in minor collisions. An adjustable aerodynamic kit is installed beneath the bumper. In Track mode, the kit extends downward by 50mm, creating a "ground effect" that increases downforce and enhances stability during high-speed cornering. During normal driving, the kit automatically retracts to reduce drag.
In addition, air ducts on both sides of the bumper guide airflow through the brake system, cooling the brake discs. Under continuous braking conditions on the track, this can reduce brake disc temperature by 80°C, preventing performance degradation caused by overheating. The honeycomb air intake in the center of the bumper connects to the battery cooling system, quickly removing heat from the battery through airflow to ensure sustained high vehicle performance.
MAXUS/LDV Series: Scenario-Specific Protection and Energy Efficiency Design
The MAXUS/LDV e-Terron's front bumper features a three-section protection structure. The outer layer consists of a removable wear-resistant rubber guard. In the event of a scratch during loading or unloading, only the guard needs to be replaced, reducing repair costs by 60%. The middle layer consists of energy-absorbing foam, which cushions impact and protects pedestrians' legs. The inner layer consists of a high-strength steel frame to prevent damage to the battery pack.
The MAXUS XINGJI X's front bumper features an integrated "child safety projection." In the event of a minor collision, the projection quickly deforms to absorb the impact and minimize harm. The XINJI X EV's front bumper incorporates a "millimeter-wave radar recess" to house the ACC radar, protecting it from stone impact damage. This also optimizes the airflow path, reducing the vehicle's drag coefficient by 0.015 and improving range.
Rear Bumper: A Precise Match of Functional Adaptation and Safety
The rear bumper design of all four models focuses on "targeted adaptation," with detailed design details tailored to meet the needs of different scenarios.
MG U9: Dual Considerations for Performance and Safety
The MG U9's rear bumper features an integrated "diffuser + spoiler" design. The diffuser accelerates airflow under the vehicle and reduces tail vortices. Combined with the electric spoiler above, it provides 300N of rear downforce, enhancing high-speed stability. Exhaust hoods are fitted on either side of the bumper, visually simulating the exhaust of a combustion engine, enhancing the vehicle's performance profile despite being a pure electric vehicle.
For safety, a collision warning sensor is installed inside the rear bumper. When a vehicle behind approaches too close, the sensor activates the vehicle's active braking system, providing early warning and assisting braking. Furthermore, a hidden tow hook mounting area is designed under the bumper, accessible with a dedicated tool. This allows for convenient towing in the event of a vehicle breakdown while preserving the vehicle's sporty appearance.
MAXUS/LDV Series: Scenario-Specific Practical Features
The MAXUS/LDV e-Terron's rear bumper features a foldable footrest that automatically deploys during loading and unloading, making it easier for the driver to climb onto the roof to place items. A cargo hook is also integrated into the bumper to secure a rope and prevent cargo from swaying and hitting the vehicle during transport.
The MAXUS XINGJI X's rear bumper features a hidden backup camera, flush with the bumper to prevent obstruction by mud and sand. It also features an ultrasonic cleaning function that automatically sprays water to clean the lens when reversing, ensuring clear images. The XINJI X EV's rear bumper incorporates a high-voltage power-off trigger device that quickly disconnects battery power in the event of a rear-end collision, preventing potential safety hazards caused by short circuits.
Rearlights: Collaborative Innovation in Visual Identity and Safety Warnings
Rearlights, the vehicle's "tail voice," achieve the dual goals of high visibility and safety warnings through unique light patterns and functions across the four models, while also perfectly matching their respective positioning.
MG U9: A Dynamic Lighting Language of Performance
The MG U9's rear lights feature dynamic LED taillights, each comprised of 256 LEDs. These taillights support driving mode linkage. In Track mode, the taillights flash in a flowing pattern, increasing in frequency as speed increases, signaling driving status to vehicles behind. In Eco mode, the taillights remain lit continuously, reducing energy consumption.
The taillights also feature brake force feedback. When the brakes are lightly applied, the taillights dim at 50%. When the brakes are applied hard, the brightness instantly increases to 100%, accompanied by a rapid flash. This allows vehicles behind to more accurately assess braking intensity. Furthermore, a diffuser light guide strip is designed below the taillights to illuminate the area below the rear of the vehicle during nighttime driving, making it easier for the driver to detect obstacles and enhancing parking safety.
MAXUS/LDV Series: Scenario-Based Safety Lighting
The MAXUS/LDV e-Terron's rearlights feature an integrated cargo warning function. When the vehicle's cargo exceeds its width, the taillights automatically activate the side warning light to alert vehicles behind. During charging, the taillights flash in a breathing pattern to indicate charging progress. Flashing green indicates a battery level ≥80%, flashing yellow indicates a battery level ≤80%, and flashing red indicates a battery level <30%.
The MAXUS XINGJI X's rearlights feature a child lock linkage reminder. When the rear child locks are engaged, an orange warning light illuminates on the outer side of the rearlights to prevent the driver from accidentally opening the rear doors. The XINJI X EV's rearlights also feature intelligent interaction. When pedestrians approach the rear of the vehicle, the taillights flash softly in white, alerting pedestrians to safety while preventing direct glare that could disrupt their vision.
From the performance-focused design of the MG U9 to the scenario-oriented and practical designs of the MAXUS/LDV series, the headlights, front and rear bumpers, and taillights of all four models are deeply aligned with their respective positioning, achieving a unified aesthetic, functional, and safe design. These components not only enhance the vehicle's appearance but also, through technological innovation and detailed optimization, provide customized travel solutions for users with diverse needs, demonstrating the automotive brands' expertise and dedication in component design.
