After Capgemini is the star, SAIC-GM-Wuling in the process of laying out the high-end market can be said to have touched the taste of domestic consumers, not to mention how much price difference we have in our impression of Wuling, which can already be listed and sell good results. Not to mention that whether it is Capgemini that first entered the MPV market, or the Wuling Stars to be seen here, their prices have not really risen significantly, but they are still maintained in the low price of the same level of the market.
Exterior design
The all-black spray grille of Wuling Star adopts a style similar to the scales of the lock armor, and the high reflective paint will make the front of the car have a very rich light and shadow effect. Moreover, the metal chrome strip spawned by the silver label will also be inserted into the headlight position, which visually echoes the LED daytime running lights with the vertical layout of the inner edge of the latter.
The front bumper part seems to be conventional, but the three-zone stomata style will be accompanied by chrome + hard plastic double encirclement, bringing a more open lateral vision to the front of the car, and really playing a certain aerodynamic improvement effect.
From the rear side, Wuling Xingchen, which has a two-color body and a suspension roof structure, does not blindly cater to the aesthetic changes of the market, but adheres to the clear angular disposal of the former hardcore four-wheel drive body, which makes it particularly unique in the current cookie-cutter SUV market.
Of course, the through-line taillight combination decoration, the sharp undulating rear diversion structure and the black hard plastic surrounding covering the entire chassis will also render the youthful and sporty temperament of the "silver label SUV" on the body. The right rear bumper tilt angle will ensure that the vehicle can be driven through more road conditions.
Interior design
The cabin of the two shades of light and dark colors not only emphasizes the avant-garde feeling through dark wrapping, but also maintains the warm side of the vehicle through light color decoration; of course, consumers can also choose their preferred color scheme through different versions of the paint spray, and some of these models will enable more dark wrapping at the door panels and other places to form a sporty contrast effect.
The two main display screens are a full-color dashboard and a 10.25-inch full-LCD touch screen. The former is surrounded by upper baffles on the centre console with layered metal dashboard covers, while the latter is in a suspended style and placed on a sloping flat platform divided by wood-grain trim panels. With the gap between the upper and lower baffles and the lower air conditioner air outlet, the style of the center console is simple and avant-garde, and the functional division is clear and easy to use.
The gear shift mechanism is surrounded by metal chrome and painted panels, and the pushrod gears cater to the current fashion trend, combined with a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, which will achieve the sport effect on the control accessories.
Although Wuling Xingchen is only an SUV with a top allocation of less than 100,000 yuan, the Ling OS Lingxi system it is equipped with has allowed it to be connected to the intelligent era.
The interface of the Lingxi system adopts a UI design and interface layout similar to that of the mobile phone map, the concise menu and function icons can be quickly used, and the touch icon fixed on the side can optimize the switching logic between operation and function. In addition, this system also meets a series of functional needs including real-time road information navigation, remote mobile phone car control interconnection, intelligent voice recognition control, etc., of which intelligent voice will be able to open and close the skylight, adjust the temperature, and the whole set of car machines will also be refreshed through OTA online to obtain more in-depth development functions in the future.
In-vehicle configuration
In terms of assisted driving safety, Wuling Xingchen, which has 6 airbags in the whole vehicle, will be assisted by the panoramic image system and the cruise control system, the former with a rear parking radar, and the latter can help drivers with foot fatigue in long-distance driving.
In terms of cabin ride feedback, the 256-color mood light can optimize the atmosphere in the cabin, and the rear independent wind can optimize the body sensation of the rear seat passengers, while the leather-covered full car seats also support the main driver's electric adjustment and rear backrest adjustment, with the high standard body size of 4594/1820/1740mm/2750mm, achieving a spacious and comfortable quiet rest space.
dynamical system
Wuling Xingchen obtained a general-purpose LJ0 model 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 108kW (147Ps) and the maximum torque of 250N·m Under the support of a CVT stepless gearbox that can simulate 8 speeds, in addition to maintaining the abundant power of the starting, climbing and high-speed acceleration stages, the comprehensive fuel consumption of THEEDC is also controlled at 7.7L/100km, realizing the main needs of the family that is easy to open and save fuel.
Chassis suspension
The front McPherson and rear torque beam form the chassis suspension of the vehicle, but in addition, Wuling Star has brought a variable suspension system at a price of less than 100,000 yuan, and through the moderate adjustment of soft hardness, the vehicle's comprehensive adaptability to more changes in road conditions will be stronger.
Write at the end
Since its launch in 2021, Wuling Star has experienced four consecutive increases in sales at the end of the year, and has reached a high level of 19,000 vehicles per month, which is definitely commendable for a new SUV product. The menacing Wuling Star has demonstrated its adaptability in the market through a beautiful start, and through the more detailed static evaluation we have seen here, it is not difficult to understand why it can enjoy such a high appeal in the increasingly competitive domestic SUV market as a new car.
