Xiujuan is my girlfriend, and she runs a jewelry Taobao shop after 00. A few days ago, she contacted me, "Help me choose a car, buy it when it's right, and give yourself a reward before the Spring Festival." "The business is really good, the bicycles have changed cars!"
"Interested? How much budget do you have? What are the requirements? "I threw a barrage of questions.
"My style, you know, a little more elegant, no more than 100,000 SUVs are the best, the space is larger, and the store also needs to be used for delivery."
As a car buyer in the circle of friends, I must not fail to live up to Xiujuan's trust in me. I went through what I had learned all my life: if I bought a joint venture brand, I could only buy a small SUV for 100,000 yuan, and the spatial performance could not meet the needs of Xiujuan's Taobao store. And it can only be used as a basic transportation, the configuration is shabby, it is not comfortable, and it is not smart. In recent years, the development of domestic models is very rapid, like Haval H6, Changan CS75PLUS, or Geely Boyue such compact SUV models, space performance is good, but if you want a more comfortable configuration and a more intelligent technology experience, the price must exceed 100,000, and the budget is not enough.
Combed again, there is a car suddenly flashed in front of my eyes, Wuling Star, this new car listed in September, it is the second model and the first SUV under the Wuling silver label strategy, the price is 69,800-99,800 yuan, the deepest impression on me is that it has adopted a rare "Morandi" color system inside and out, elegant and pure, is this not exactly Xiujuan's dish?
Xiujuan is also quite recognized, the two hit it off, at the moment I made an appointment with a friend of Wuling 4S store, and the two went to his shop together to feel the car.
When we came to the 4S store, friends were already waiting for us, and a white Wuling Star 1.5T CVT Star Edition was parked in the 4S store, which is a top-of-the-line model. Xiujuan was very excited, looking back and forth, even saying "This little freshness is suitable for me." The body color of this car is indeed very plain, the official saying is "moon frost white", is one of the 5 morandi colors of Wuling Stars, the other 4 are mist warm tea, cold mountain twilight purple, rain over azure and cloud sea blue, is the color of Wuling with a new oriental mood to present.
From the front face, the horizontal chrome trim in the Wuling Star Net divides the entire front face into two parts, the middle net is a black dot-shaped wing decoration block, the new Wuling silver LOGO is embedded in the middle, and the split headlights are composed of flying wing LED automatic headlights and spread-wing LED day running lights.
The side lines are simple, the proportions are harmonious, and the design is two-tone, the roof is smoked black, the D-pillar and side step positions are decorated with bright chrome trim, and the wheel arches and side skirt positions are painted in black.
The car features 215/55 R18 tyres with double five-spoke blades and silver-gray calipers.
The rear of the car continues the design style of the front face, with simple lines and black trim between the taillights, creating the feeling of a penetrating taillight, which is marked by the letter "WULING".
Opening the car door, you will be greeted by the ivory white seats in the car, as if echoing with the "white frost of the dawn moon", and a sense of elegance and atmosphere will come to the face. On the contact surface of the seat with the buttocks and back of the human body, a beautiful diamond-shaped pattern is also designed and equipped with delicate double-layer stitching. This design not only enhances the sense of luxury in the car, but also enhances the warmth of the overall atmosphere.
Friends introduced that the appearance of beauty is only one aspect, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the cushion of Wuling Star is relatively long, the fabric has also been thickened, it uses a 1mm PVC material coating plus 10mm sponge thickness, after sitting up, it can be more suitable for the hips, waist, back, increase support and reduce fatigue.
The center console uses a combination of plastic-lined material and wood grain material, and the flat-bottom steering wheel and electronic gear handle are very personal. 10.25-inch floating LCD central control screen is very eye-catching, according to friends, this screen integrates navigation, car phone, Bluetooth, multimedia system and a series of functions.
Come to the back seat, more can feel the sense of space of Wuling Star, this car is positioned in a compact SUV, the body size is 4594 * 1820 * 1740mm, the wheelbase is 2750mm, friends gave us a set of data: the wheelbase of the third generation Haval H6 is 2738mm, the Changan CS75PLUS is 2710mm, the Honda CR-V is 2661mm, the Xinqijun is 2706mm, and the Tanyue is 2731mm.
The larger body size will undoubtedly bring users more spacious and comfortable space. Xiujuan is 170mm tall, whether she is sitting in the front or back row of Wuling Xingchen, her legs and head space are very abundant.
Wuling Xingchen's rear row has many highlights, the platform is flat without bulges, the three-person seat is not crowded, and the second row of seats also supports a maximum of 130 ° backrest adjustment, Xiujuan immediately performed a "Ge You Lie".
We specially asked about the needs of the Taobao store to load the goods, and the friend demonstrated the rear 4/6 split down on the spot, basically flat state, and there was no problem in placing large goods.
Subsequently, my friend took me and Xiujuan to drive a test drive, saying that it was more experienced to take a test drive on the actual road, and the color of this test drive was "rain over azure" in the five Modi blue colors.
Friends said that the Wuling Star Obsidian Edition is equipped with a 1.5T engine, matching the CVT stepless speed, with a maximum function of 108kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m.
Xiujuan drove unhurriedly, saying that the power of this car is very suitable for her, not impatient and stressful, when needed to lightly step on it will have a response, it is very sensitive, coupled with a light steering wheel, daily driving will be very easy.
When passing through the speed bump and the road expansion joint, Xiujuan said that she did not feel anything and gently drove over. Friends said that although the top version of this Wuling Star does not exceed 100,000 yuan, it is also rarely equipped with the FSD valve shock absorber of the Dutch KONI, and the variable damping carried makes the suspension more supportive, and the texture of the vehicle chassis will greatly improve the comfort.
The three of them laughed and laughed, I felt that the noise coming from outside the car was not obvious, it seems that the low wind resistance wind noise modeling effect adopted by Wuling Xingchen is not bad.
All the way to the test drive, friends recommended that you must experience Wuling's Ling OS Lingxi system, which is definitely a special existence in the 100,000-level automotive products.
Now the world's intelligent systems, on the one hand, because of the cost, the hardware equipped with intelligent systems such as chips, processors, etc. is relatively low-end, and cannot support the smooth control experience that the interactive system should have; in addition, this level of SUVs only stay at the "primary" level in terms of function, such as only some simple speech recognition functions.
However, Wuling's Ling OS Lingxi system is independently developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling, inheriting top high-quality resources such as PATEO, SPICHI, and iFLYTEK.
Friends while introducing while guiding Xiujuan to operate, this system interface is simple but the functions are not simple, including mobile phone / car machine one-click screen projection, road book customization, intelligent voice interaction, customized themes, remote car control, trip planning, OTA upgrades and many other functions.
Xiujuan specially experienced the voice interaction of the Ling OS Lingxi system, which is not like other products that require "one question and one answer" dialogue. When Xiujuan said, "Xiaoling, turn on the air conditioner, turn on the skylight, turn on the radio, adjust to the inner circulation...", then we see that the system immediately began to react, the vehicle completed a series of operations, and the execution of all the instructions was very fast and very accurate.
I asked my friend, there are many people in the car at the same time issuing instructions, "Xiao Ling" who should listen to? Friends said that the ling OS lingxi system has a sound source positioning function can solve this problem, the user can set the location of speech recognition in the system according to the needs, such as setting it as "main and co-driver" or only "main driver", then "Xiaoling" will complete the operation of the sound source according to the setting, which is highly practical and safer.
A friend specially introduced another unique feature of the Ling OS Lingxi system - support for connecting with ETC. Simply put, it is to open Wuling Star without applying for ETC, this system is an ETC. This feature is really practical, and I personally think that all automotive intelligent systems should be popularized.
When Xiujuan turned around and returned to the 4S store, she suddenly heard "XiaoLing" saying "I'm hungry", Xiujuan said that this is strange, and it also knows that it is going to have lunch? My friend smiled and said, "Let's stop by and cheer up!" It turns out that this is the "temperature" side of the Ling OS Lingxi system, when the amount of oil is insufficient, it will say "I am hungry", and when the fire is turned off and ready to get off, it will remind "remember to bring your belongings", at this time " Xiaoling" will become a competent "travel housekeeper".
Conclusion:
Back in the store, Xiujuan began to ask about the price, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with Wuling Xingchen, especially this "rain over azure" elegant and clean appearance and considerate and meticulous Ling OS Lingxi system.
We analyzed the five models of Wuling Star together, and finally agreed that she should choose this top-end model, first of all, the price of 99,800 did not exceed the budget, and enjoyed the front/rear head airbags, 360 ° panoramic images, open panoramic sunroof, main seat electric adjustment, automatic air conditioning and 256 color mood lights and other rich configurations within the budget, and at the same time, it is also very complete in intelligent configuration, which is the most cost-effective model.
It seems that Xiujuan has bought her favorite "reward"!
