When it comes to Wuling, do you think of the word cost performance for the first time? After all, throughout the new cars launched by Wuling over the years, the advantages in the price level will basically be greater than those of the same level. In addition, as the Chinese people gradually began to pay attention to the quality-price ratio when buying cars, Wuling also kept up with the pace, such as the latest SUV launched by the brand- Wuling Xingchen, which was rated by many netizens as a "cost-effective, quality-price ratio" car.
In September this year, Xingchen, the first SUV in the Wuling Silver Label series, officially came to the market; but to my surprise, in November, Xingchen's monthly sales reached 15,603 units. Yes, behind this hot sale is definitely the popularity and reputation of Wuling, but I always think that the biggest contributor is still the product force, let's take a look at it together.
In terms of appearance, as a crew member of the Wuling Silver Label family, Xingchen also arranged a wing-moving aesthetic design language. But the difference is that Xingchen injects more style into the design, such as the new mid-mesh and "V" type daytime running lights; in the side part, Xingchen uses a contrasting roof and angular lines to render young tones. In the rear part of the car, the design of the star focuses on the simple style, and at the same time, its sense of line and the sense of hierarchy are more obviously portrayed. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the entire appearance tone of Wuling Stars is showing favor to young people.
Coming to the inside of the Star car, its new central control design is believed to make everyone shine, because in addition to the design of the non-matryoshka doll, the star also gave the same level of rare and more advanced white interior. On the front seats, the high-end leather seats with perforations and diamond-shaped checks, including the painted panels in the central control area and silver trims, are also remarkable in texture. Then the black plastic parts above the Star center console, door trim and other parts can be forgiven, after all, the price of this car is 69,800-9.98 million yuan.
At the configuration level, the overall performance of the low-end stars is average, there are no highlights, but the multi-function steering wheel, reversing image, external rearview mirror heating, etc., have been given. Relatively speaking, the configuration of The star's high-end models is more eye-catching; for example, the Ling OS Lingxi system, which is mainly developed by Wuling, shows the progress of Wuling in the field of intelligence in terms of experience during operation, UI interface, intelligent voice level, and multi-functional navigation (team travel, road book customization, seamless navigation).
In other aspects, the top star also unlocked 256 color atmosphere lights, main driver electric adjustment, 360-degree panoramic image, variable suspension (FSD variable damping damping damper), PM2.5 filter and other configurations. Standing at a price of less than 100,000, the configuration of the stars and the texture of the car are still quite advantageous.
In the space part, the length, width and height of the stars are 4594*1820*1740mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. In terms of data, it may not be advantageous for the stars in body length, but its wheelbase space is not bad, and the test rider with a height of 176cm sits in the car, adjusts the front row to a suitable sitting position, and the rear legroom can have a margin of two and a half fists. Also, the star's seat backrest has an adjustable angle of 130°, which is more friendly for passengers of different sizes or long rides.
In the trunk part, the depth of the space under normal conditions is 930mm, the height is 760mm, and the volume is decent, but it can also meet the needs of daily household and self-driving. If you put down the back row, the stars can expand the deep space to 1840mm, the practicality is still good, after all, it is the division of Wuling, even if the body size is not dominant, then our space optimization ability must be in place.
In terms of power, Xingchen is equipped with a 1.5T+6MT/CVT assembly, the maximum horsepower of the engine is 147Ps, the peak torque is 250N·m, and the power output is enough for home and town commuting. In terms of driving experience, although The Star is a compact SUV, its support performance is still good in the side suppression of the corners. The response of the throttle is linear enough and smooth, the CVT gearbox has a remarkable control of the fuel consumption of daily driving, and in the slightly congested road conditions, the fuel consumption within 8L/100km of the Star is no problem.
Overall, Wuling Star has a compact SUV at a top price of less than 100,000, which really highlights its sincerity and cost performance. In terms of product strength, Xingchen's interior texture, home space, configuration and power have not disappointed everyone in terms of quality and price ratio; at least compared with many SUVs priced within 100,000, Xingchen's car is easier to make everyone shine. Otherwise, the sales volume of the second full month of The Star listing exceeded 15,000 units, is it really only dependent on the Wuling brand effect?
