The guidance price starts from 69,800 yuan, and the whole series is equipped with 1.5T displacement as standard, and how to control Wuling Star
Text/Su Jin Ji
Among the independent car brands, as long as the MPV is mentioned, it is easy to think of Wuling. Wuling used to be a commercial model layout to open up the market in China, but now, Wuling Motors has begun to enter the household field. The former Wuling Hongguang was a common choice in the domestic market, because the model is not only durable, but also the characteristics of large space allow the model to be used for both home use and more items.
It is also because the demand on the market is more and more offset to the home, Wuling sox launched Capgemini, an MPV model with the family as the core, but has an SUV design in terms of appearance. In the subsequent development, Wuling launched a model positioned in the field of compact SUVs - Wuling Xingchen, Wuling with many years of word-of-mouth accumulation, so that Wuling Xingchen once listed has attracted much attention.
The main difference between SUV and MPV is the height of the chassis, and the chassis of the SUV is higher than the MPV, which means that the passability of Wuling Star has a good foundation. Therefore, consumer groups that often move in different terrains will have the demand for SUVs, and the high chassis characteristics of Wuling Star can also meet this.
But the structure of this model is not suitable for cross-country, after all, it is an urban SUV model, so the model can only cope with light off-road, facing the potholes in the countryside, there will be a good ability to pass. However, the rear suspension of the model is torsional beam type, and the whole series is the drive type of the front-facing front drive, so the single wheel off the ground can easily affect the driving effect of the vehicle.
Although Wuling Star is positioned in the field of compact SUVs, the length of the car is only 4594mm, and the wheelbase is up to standard, with 2750mm. Therefore, its volume is not very large, and the reserved wheelbase size is to provide more space in the car. And the model is mainly based on the city limit as the main traffic section, such as urban areas or highways, which need to provide fuel economy for car owners.
Then the model gave a displacement of 1.5T, which is the standard of the whole series. The power of this set is not very large, only 147 horsepower, the torque is OK, giving a value of 250 Nm. Although the power is indeed not impressive enough, it is already quite good in this model at the same price, at least it does not give the same displacement of self-priming engine.
It may be because of the limitation of horsepower value, so the throttle response of the model will have a reaction period, the start is more meaty, but it is not a particularly slow type, and the throttle response in the start can only be considered decent. However, due to the broadness of the torque platform of the model, it can give a strong impetus in the later stage, but the re-acceleration ability is average.
If it is driving in a high-speed section, its late thrust can give a good driving feeling, especially in the high-speed section, the steering wheel texture will be more stable than the low-speed state in the urban area, and at the same time, the smooth speed range of the engine can give a good fuel consumption performance. In the urban area, the steering wheel will be very light, if you are accustomed to a stable steering wheel texture, it will take a while to adapt to this light and fluttering steering wheel control texture.
The space inside the car has a good ample effect, and the padding inside the seat uses sponge foam technology, so it can better fit the human waist and back, and the comfort retention is relatively good. However, the NVH in the car is more general, especially in the high-speed section, the wind noise will be more obvious, there will be some tire noise, but there are also some cost constraints.
summary:
The pricing of Wuling Star is actually not high, and the official guidance price is 69,800-99,800. This price range can give a displacement of 1.5T is already very good, at least at this price point, this level of compact SUV will rarely provide 1.5T displacement, most of them will bring in the same displacement of self-priming engines, torque platform will not be so broad. Usually this model is suitable for commuting in the city area, and if you want to drive the vehicle on occasional business trips, it will have a good fuel consumption performance at high speed. In addition to the relatively generous riding space in the car, the storage space of the tail box can also meet the daily travel use, at least two suitcases are not a problem, and the practicality is relatively good.
