In order to further fight back against BYD in the low-price market, Wuling Motors quickly released a compact SUV with the same platform - Starlight S after launching the compact family sedan Wuling Starlight. The car is the second model of the Tianyu architecture D platform, which will be launched in two power forms, pure electric and plug-in hybrid, and is scheduled to be launched in August to compete with the BYD Song PLUS family.
The latest official picture of the official release reveals the interior design of the car, the new car has three theme colors of coconut palm, black and light sand, all of which are made of delicate leather upholstery, with metal trims and wood grain decorations of the same style, creating a warm sense of home.
The interior layout is relatively simple, with a wrap-around cockpit layout, equipped with a suspended central control screen and a suspended full LCD instrument panel, the multi-function steering wheel adopts a double-spoke flat-bottom structure, the pocket gear mechanism makes more space for the armrest box, the wireless charging panel and double cup holder are not absent, plus a small number of physical buttons and scroll wheels to further enhance the practical attributes, and the details such as the through-type air outlet, steering wheel, armrest box, door panel, etc., there are metal trims that echo the interior color matching, which sets off a higher sense of grade.
In terms of appearance, the new car can be seen at a glance is a model renamed from Xingchen PLUS, the front part of the face adopts a split light group, composed of slightly curved daytime running lights and triangular main lights, and forms a disconnected inverted "V" shaped running light after being lit, which has a quite individual visual effect. Of course, the center of the front is a closed shape, the prominent nose is inlaid with the Wuling LOGO, the front bracket is equipped with a trapezoidal lower grille of different styles, the plug-in hybrid version is filled with horizontal banner decoration, and the pure electric version is filled with grid decoration, symbolizing different power forms.
The side of the body is a sleek and compact style, with a length, width and height of 4745/1890/1680mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm, positioning it as a compact SUV, with a shorter length but a longer wheelbase compared to the Song PLUS DM-i. The most striking part of the rear part of the car is the special-shaped taillight group, which has a unique curved red light strip after being lit, echoing the headlight group, and the small-size spoiler on the roof is an important way to enhance the sense of sportiness.
In terms of power, the plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, of which the maximum engine power is 78 kilowatts, the motor power is unknown, and the battery pack with a capacity of 9.5 kilowatt-hours and 20.5 kilowatt-hours is matched, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that the pure electric range is 43km and 90km respectively. The EV version comes standard with a single motor with a maximum power of 150 kW and is mated to a 60 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, giving it a range of 510 km in CLTC mode.
If Starlight S wants to open the market as quickly as Starlight, the volume price is still the easiest and most efficient way. As a reference, the guide price of the Starlight PHEV is 79,800-102,800 yuan, and the guide price of the Starlight EV is 99,800-109,800 yuan, so it is speculated that the price of the Starlight S plug-in hybrid version may be in the range of 90,000-120,000 yuan, and the pure electric version may be in the range of 100,000-130,000 yuan.
