In today's automotive world, it seems that brand models that advertise sports handling are more maverick and desirable. Among the joint venture brands, such as BMW, Subaru and Mazda, who do you think of when it comes to domestic brands?
In fact, it's not that car companies won't do marketing, on the contrary, the current young consumer groups do pay the most attention to the "sportiness" and "handling" of the vehicle, but with this to shape the "sports control" label failed models abound, the reason is that the technical threshold is too high, and then it is involuted by better brands. The protagonist of today's article, Xingtu brand SUV - Xingtu Lingyun, is one of the classic cases that have successfully rolled out of the circle.
The reason why Xingtu Lingyun can rely on the "control" label to get out of the circle, in addition to the power performance is almost the strongest in the same class, it has not fallen behind in the chassis tuning and even braking performance of the vehicle, and it is relatively balanced in handling and performance, and the comprehensive level is comparable to BMW's German handling level. In April this year, the Xingtu Lingyun King Edition was officially launched, and on the basis of continuing the excellent performance gene, the new car further lowered the threshold for car purchase, broadened the market share, and the product value soared. Next, we will start with the Xingtu Lingyun 400T king priced at 139,900 yuan, and talk about the mystery of the driving control of this car.
The real king of performance, the key indicators of the engine are comparable to the BBA driving and control strength
Without further ado, let's get back to "manipulation". Lingyun models have always been in the lead, thanks to the technical accumulation and R&D level of the Xingtu brand, which also creates unique technical conditions for Xingtu Lingyun. Looking at the current 150,000-level sports SUV market in which Xingtu Lingyun is located, Xingtu Lingyun has some metaphors of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".
The data speaks, the entry version of the 300T king Edition, the entry price is 129,900 yuan, matched with the 1.6T engine + Getrag 7DCT powertrain, the maximum horsepower is 201Ps, the maximum torque is 300N·m, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is reduced by 1.6% to 7.38L/km, which is comparable to the 2.0T engine of the joint venture brand.
Looking at it again, the 2.0T engine equipped with the Xingtu Lingyun 400T King Edition has a maximum horsepower of 261Ps, a peak torque of 400N·m, and a maximum thermal efficiency of 41%, which almost swept most of the 2.0T engines on the market. The data is not intuitive enough, so let's compare the first-line BBA:
| Vehicle model | Engine maximum horsepower | Maximum engine torque | WLTC fuel consumption |
| Lingyun 400T King's Edition | 261Ps | 400N·m | 7.7L/100km |
| BMW X3 2.0T high-power version | 245Ps | 350N·m | 8.5L/100km |
| Audi Q5L 2.0T high-power version | 245Ps | 370N·m | 7.96L/100km |
| Mercedes GLC 2.0T high-power version | 258Ps | 400N·m | 7.7L/100km |
The numbers speak for themselves. Friends who know cars know that to evaluate whether an engine technology is advanced or not, the three core indicators of maximum horsepower, maximum torque and fuel consumption are the most critical, and the technical strength of Xingtu Lingyun has been revealed.
The ultimate driving performance and the hard power of both internal and external training will eventually become the king
Of course, the strong book data of the Xingtu Lingyun King Edition is only one aspect, but whether a car is good to drive or not is not all determined by the power system, a good chassis will make you feel the fun of driving more directly.
Unlike the intuitive parameters of the power system, we have no way to use visual data to interpret the tuning ability of the chassis. The word "good open" is somewhat metaphysical, so what kind of chassis can be called good open? Maybe the Star Journey King Edition can give you an answer.
As the main handling of the Lingyun model, its handling has long been well-known in the industry, winning numerous awards. For example, Xingtu Lingyun has topped the list of medium and large SUVs of fuel vehicles in CCPC professional stations for 3 consecutive years, and has successfully completed extreme challenges such as climbing to the top of the 37.1° Winter Olympics Snow Ruyi, extreme braking on cliffs, and taking off of the plane by car, and easily defeated the Geely Xingyue L in 8.32 seconds and the BMW X3 in 9.33 seconds with a superior result of 7.29 seconds in the acceleration evaluation project of the car emperor, showing the high-performance nature of the track-level SUV.
There is no doubt that the reason why Xingtu Lingyun has such excellent driving performance is due to its tailor-made based on Chery M3X Mars architecture 2.0, the front MacPherson independent suspension + rear four-link independent suspension, as well as Benteler's master chassis tuning and BorgWarner's intelligent four-wheel drive system, which gives the vehicle a very high driving limit. This suspension system ensures that the Lingyun has good handling, driving pleasure, driving stability and safety.
Users who have driven the Xingtu Lingyun King Edition have roughly evaluated it as the German luxury driving style, with a smooth and soft start, clean gear shifting, and always maintaining a linear and stable push back feeling from low speed to high speed, with powerful and precise steering, stable high-speed line change, strong chassis suspension support, strong body following ability, and strong tire grip.
At the same time, the vehicle is equipped with a chassis hydraulic vibration filtration system, and the left and right front control arms are equipped with hydraulic bushings, which increases the vibration attenuation capacity by 32% compared with the previous conventional bushing design, which can effectively filter the driving bumps caused by difficult road surfaces and simultaneously improve the quietness and comfort in the car; In particular, the front and rear cast aluminum steering knuckles are selected, which reduces weight by 12Kg and lightens weight by 45%, greatly improving chassis comfort and corrosion resistance, and better helping drivers to steer accurately.
In addition, Xingtu Lingyun is equipped with Bosch's latest-generation 9.3 ESP body stability system as standard, which combines software and hardware from the inside to the outside to ensure that the driving experience of the owner is more secure and calm. And equipped with economy, standard, sport, snow four driving modes, anytime and anywhere to switch, easy to handle through all kinds of terrain. Of course, if you like off-road, you can also choose the Xingtu Lingyun four-wheel drive version, which is also based on user needs, maximizing the control pleasure and diversity of driving experience. In short, Lingyun's all-round stable and reliable control, with the free and enjoyable experience of the city and the wild, is close to the suburbs, and as far as Sichuan and Tibet.
Epilogue:
It has to be said that the reason why Xingtu Lingyun can rely on the "control" label to get out of the circle, in addition to achieving the ultimate power performance in the industry, it also has real efforts in tuning control, braking technology and other aspects, and has made a lot of investments in hardware and software, creating a "performance king" and setting a benchmark for intermediate performance SUVs.
Start at the top end and stay true to performance. This may be the competitive strategy that the Xingtu brand has been practicing, and it is inevitable that the products will be out of the circle with strong comprehensive product strength. It is believed that in the future, more and more young people who understand and love cars will eventually fall in love with this car, and will accept and buy this model with a new benchmark for mid-level performance SUVs.
