Since Chery launched the high-end brand Xingtu, its models have continued to receive praise from the market, and the products can be described as acclaimed and popular.
Relevant data show that Xingtu's sales in 2021 increased by 121% year-on-year, and has maintained growth for 14 consecutive months!
With the blessing of M3X Mars architecture PRO, Xingtu has also launched a number of new cars such as Xingtu Lingyun and Xingtu Lanyue, and the product lineup has become more and more abundant.
In particular, the strong power of the 2.0T, coupled with the super size and space, makes this model continue to win market attention.
Recently, in the Furong Mountain Scenic Area in Huadu District, Guangzhou, we also came to a visit with the Xingtu Lanyue 400T.
We started from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, the test drive route is mainly based on high speed, and the scenery is mainly based on mountain views and forest scenery along the highway, passing through Jiulong Lake Resort!
For the Moonlight 400T, the first feeling is big.
The length of the 400T car reached 4970mm, the width of the car was also 1940mm, and the height of the car was 1799mm, and the aura was really sufficient.
The middle grid grid of the Lanyue 400T has been blackened, and the LOGO has been changed from the original chrome trim to bright black trim, which is more advanced.
The side lines of the body are simple and smooth, and the visual appearance is very atmospheric and stretched.
The design of the tail is very eye-catching, and the wide chrome decorative panel at the upper end of the taillight is completely blackened.
The "400T" identification letters have changed to interstellar copper color schemes, which is indeed highly recognizable.
Personally, I feel that the design style of Xingtu models has always been more distinctive, and it is more suitable for the aesthetics of the Chinese people than other brand models.
The wheelbase of this car reaches 2900mm, and the interior space can be imagined.
When we reach the second row of seats in a standard sitting position, we can put two punches between the legs and the front seat.
In this way, whether it is the leg of The Stilt Erlang or Ge You's paralysis, there is no problem at all.
The head is also more than two punches away from the roof of the car, and it will not be cramped at all.
Moreover, its second row of seats can also be adjusted backrest and front and rear, and the overall comfort is still good.
The performance of the third row of space is much better than the other 7-seat SUVs on the market, and the legs are retracted freely after sitting in, and the backrest of the seat is also adjustable, which completely changes the previous thinking that I thought the third row was chicken ribs.
It is worth mentioning that in the case of normal sitting in the third row, the trunk also has a very good storage space.
And when the 2 rows of 3 rows of seats are lowered, it is a proper "big flat", and it is absolutely cool enough to travel and lie flat.
The test-driven 400T is equipped with a 2.0TGDI high-power engine with a maximum power of 192kw and a maximum torque of 400N·m.
Officials say its maximum thermal efficiency is as high as 41%, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 8s.
Such a data can already beat most 2.0T engines, such as Volkswagen's EA888 high-power engine, and the maximum torque is 350 Nm.
It's hard to imagine that this nearly 1.9-ton SUV doesn't have a little bit of flesh, starts very quickly, and the throttle response is also timely.
Continuous driving turbo intervention, the power is quite smooth, not obtrusive, giving a lighter driving feeling.
The wet 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that this car matches is very positive, and the brakes are slammed and then fueled, and its power response is not sluggish.
So when we wait at the green light at the intersection, it's completely fine to be the first to rush out.
After entering the highway section, the Lanyue 400T is still very stable.
And we can clearly feel that its power reserve is very sufficient, there is no lack of fatigue.
Deep on the throttle, the feeling of pushing back is very obvious.
The 400T also has three driving modes of sport, comfort and economy, each mode has its own style.
Kung Fu cars feel that the lift in sport mode is more active, and the driving feeling is more aggressive.
It is reported that the 400T has BENTELER's master chassis tuning, specifically for China's complex road surfaces.
During the driving process, the steering of this car is very precise, and the control points to which to fight, giving the driver great confidence.
The toughness of the suspension is also sufficient, even if it is a sharp turn, it can support the body, and the roll will not be so obvious.
In addition, the performance of the filter shock is also relatively good, and it does not produce a great sense of bump when passing through the speed bump, which does not make people feel uncomfortable.
And even when passing through continuous undulating roads, it can quickly pull the body.
This time through the scenic spot, it is inevitable to encounter areas with large traffic flow and people flow.
When you are stuck in traffic, you can relax for a while, and the central control LCD display of this car is built into the LION 4.1 Zhiyun system jointly developed by Baidu.
In the eyes of Kung Fu Car, the response is very fast, and the system functions are relatively rich.
Officials said that it also supports remote FOTA, which includes 9 major items such as power system, communication network system, infotainment system, intelligent driving, etc., and nearly 100 functions of remote FOTA upgrades.
Secondly, if you want to get off the car in an area with many people, the DOW+DOA door opening warning function of Xingtu is very useful, which can avoid unnecessary accidents caused by getting off the car and opening the door, and its minimum can be monitored to the bicycle.
The practicality of the 360° panoramic high-definition image and the FAPA automatic parking assistance system is also very strong, even in the scenic area, where parking conditions are limited, it is completely possible to let go of a "parking".
The AR navigation equipped with the Lanyue 400T is also relatively easy to use, its guidance line and lane line can be said to fit well, and the driving route is very clear and intuitive.
There is also a driver-friendly configuration is the 9-inch W-HUD head-up display, like ADAS information and simplified navigation information, we do not have to look down to understand, usually driving will be safer and more direct.
In fact, the safety of the car itself is not to worry, before the Star Way Lanyue won the "five-star" safety rating, and with a comprehensive score rate of 92.4%, won the first place in the safety evaluation of 7 medium and large SUV new cars since the 2018 version of the new regulations!
Kung Fu shoots
Through the test drive of kung fu cars, it was found that The Star Road Lanyue is a model worth starting with: strong power, large space, high configuration, good safety...
In short, the advantages in the same level market are still obvious.
Moreover, Xingtu is not a new force fighting alone, it has the strong strength of Chery Group as an endorsement, and it can also be regarded as a relatively stable and reliable brand.
So if you want to get started with a large space, rich configuration, good performance SUV, the Starway 400T car can be understood.
