To tell the truth, Wuling's market performance in the past two years is indeed quite impressive, since the slogan of "what the people need, Wuling will make", there are more and more hot models, such as the Hongguang MINIEV that has been selling well, or the Wuling Star to be introduced today. Because according to the recent data released by Wuling, Wuling Star delivered 15603 units in November.
As the second car in the Wuling Silver Label series, The Star was officially launched in mid-September and is a family SUV priced at 69,800-99,800. By the end of November, it was only more than two months, which brought such excellent sales results, which shows that the growth momentum of this car is very rapid. So, what is the good thing about Wuling Stars being recognized by everyone? With the opportunity to take pictures of 4S stores, let's talk about personal views.
The store exhibit is a 1.5T automatic Star Edition model, using the color of mist warm tea, the whole vehicle temperament is more exquisite and fresh, catering to the aesthetics of young consumers like the author, there is basically no problem. The front part of the car adopts a simple and regular line outline, equipped with a rectangular blackened net, and is connected with the lens headlights on both sides, plus the hollow design of the front lip, which is more atmospheric and three-dimensional, and the recognition is also quite high.
On the side of the body, Wuling Star adopts a standard SUV structure and uses smooth and concise lines to outline, while the blackened A/B/C column enhances the layering of visual effects, thus bringing a stylish and exquisite feeling. The roof part of the Wuling Star with an integrated luggage rack, the lower is equipped with 215/55 R18 specifications of the aluminum alloy wheels, it is reported that the following astral version, starlight version and other low-end models, is the use of R17 inch aluminum alloy wheels.
In terms of the tail, Wuling Xingchen adopts a decent and regular design, with a spoiler at the top, and the tail lights on both sides are gradually converging to the middle, and are decorated by the black trim in the middle, creating a penetrating effect. The rear surround is not too elaborate, decorated with a chrome trim panel, and the exhaust cylinder is hidden design, highlighting the positioning of its home SUV.
Sitting in the car, you can find that the interior design of Wuling Star has basically reached the mainstream level of the same level of the market, and even compared with the domestic mainstream models such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS that I have experienced before, the sense of grade is not much different. For example, the design of the center console is a big highlight in my opinion. It adopts a stepped layout, with a through-line air outlet, a regular arrangement of functional buttons below, and a 10.25-inch floating central control screen in the middle, thus creating a simple and exquisite driving atmosphere.
In terms of materials and configuration, today's automatic Xinghui version (89,800) of Wuling Xingchen, the configuration is basically given, such as leather multi-function steering wheel, imitation leather seats, electric sunroof, reversing images and so on. Of course, it is understood that Wuling Star also has the performance of differentiated configuration, such as cruise control, open panoramic sunroof, 360-degree panoramic image, main driver's seat electric adjustment, automatic air conditioning, atmosphere lights, etc. Are only equipped with high-end or even top-level models.
It is worth affirming that the entry-level Wuling Star is not as bad as imagined, because the basic functions of tire pressure display, ABS/ESP, and reversing image are standard, so if your requirements are not too high, then even if you start an entry-level Wuling Star, the author believes that there is no problem. Of course, the most impressive thing in the Wuling Star car this time is the Ling OS Lingxi system that is equipped with the Wuling brand for the first time, which supports continuous voice dialogue, the Internet of Vehicles, and there is a 3D virtual character, and the car-machine interaction experience is more convenient and fun.
In terms of size space, the length, width and height of Wuling Star are: 4594/1820/1740mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, and the intuitive visual experience of Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, the author believes that the gap is not large. The interior space is also relatively spacious, the author's height of 178cm sits in the second row, the head space can be left with four fingers, and the leg space can exceed two fists. It is worth mentioning that the back seat of Wuling Star also has a backrest adjustment function, the seat filling is soft and hard, and the support and wrapping performance are quite good, so the entire space performance of the author can give Wuling Star a spacious and comfortable evaluation.
Then there is the trunk part, the Wuling Star trunk opening is quite large, the internal depth and width are basically up to the mainstream level, and there is basically no problem in placing four suitcases in the conventional state. The rear seats can also be reclined proportionally, and the maximum depth can reach 1840mm, although it cannot be flat, but the slope formed is small, and it is not a big problem to deal with unexpected scenes such as moving and placing large shipments.
Finally, in terms of power, because it is a store show car, it has not been driven out for a test drive, but it is known that it is equipped with a power combination of a 1.5T turbo engine + A CVT stepless transmission, which can have a maximum power of 147 Ps, a maximum torque of 250 N·m, and a NEDC fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. In addition, in terms of chassis, Wuling Xingchen is the use of the front McPherson type independent suspension - rear longitudinal arm twist beam type non-independent suspension suspension suspension, today's introduction of this Star Edition model and the top of the Star Shine Edition model is also equipped with FSD variable damping suspension system, handling and comfort performance, presumably not too bad.
Summary: From the perspective of personal experience, it can be found that the product power of Wuling Star can indeed play, and the appearance, configuration, space, performance, etc. are basically the mainstream level of the same level, and even compared with the low-end models of Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, the strength of Wuling Star is not bad. However, in terms of price, Wuling Star is a top-matched car with only 99,800, which shows that the cost performance of Wuling Star is indeed very high, and it is no wonder that its sales performance will be so outstanding. And if you are interested in Wuling Star, the author thinks that today's 1.5T automatic Star Edition is quite suitable, the price is not the most expensive, but the quality of the car compared with the top model, basically the difference is not obvious.
