If you ask which of the domestic brands is more famous in the SUV market, I believe many people will say Haval. Indeed, haval has made a lot of noise in the compact SUV market with just one H6. However, in the current SUV market, domestic models with excellent product strength and sales are not only Haval H6, but also Models such as Changan CS75PLUS, Wuling Xingchen, MG ZS, Geely Boyue, Chery Tiggo 8, etc., in fact, they also perform well in the sales ranking.
Among the several models mentioned above, Wuling Xingchen is younger, it was officially launched in September 2021, and by the end of December 2021, Wuling Xingchen has only been listed for less than 4 months. The above-mentioned domestic SUVs are listed much earlier than The Stars, and have a relatively deeper market background and word-of-mouth accumulation. However, in terms of sales, Wuling Xingchen sold more than 19,000 vehicles in December, which was slightly higher than that of Geely Boyue and Chery Tiggo 8, but compared with the Haval H6, which sold 42,000 units a month in December, there is still a certain gap.
Wuling Star this price range is 69,800-99,800, this price in the domestic SUV market, is indeed a higher cost-effective price, after all, like Haval H6, Changan CS75 PLUS such mainstream compact SUVs, access threshold is basically around 100,000.
Although it is said that Wuling Xingchen is close to the people in terms of pricing, it is not necessarily ambiguous in other aspects. In terms of power, the entire Wuling Star series is equipped with a 1.5T engine as standard, and many models at the same price point are still insisting on self-priming engines. The technology selected for this 1.5T engine is more classic, and it is also one of the oldest turbo engines under Wuling, with an installed capacity of one million, and the owner does not need to worry about the quality of this piece. The 1.5T engine has a decent power output, with a maximum power of 147 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matched by a 6MT and analog 8-speed CVT transmission. The comprehensive fuel consumption of this power is 7.1L-7.7L, which is equivalent to 4 5 cents per kilometer.
In terms of chassis suspension, Wuling Xingchen uses a suspension structure composed of front McPherson + rear torsion beam, and at first glance, the suspension structure of Wuling Xingchen does not have any advantage. In fact, Wuling Star is equipped with an FSD shock absorber valve system from the Netherlands, which is rare in the same level, and also brings the function of suspension soft and hard adjustment for Wuling Star. In daily travel, this function can optimize the chassis suspension according to different road conditions, thereby affecting the road sense feedback of the chassis.
In the interior space, the body three circumferences of Wuling Xingchen are not much advantage in the compact SUV, the three circumferences are 4594/1820/1740mm, but in the wheelbase, Wuling Xingchen performs well, reaching 2750mm. These data are combined to ensure the space in the car of Wuling Xingchen as much as possible, when the adult male with a height of 1 meter 78 sits in the back row, the leg space is still relatively generous, and it is not difficult to stilt Erlang's legs.
As for the network connection function that young people are more concerned about, Wuling Star is equipped with the self-developed Ling OS Lingxi system. The system's voice assistant is a bright spot, which can recognize multiple commands continuously and quickly, and after turning on the air conditioner, you can also immediately command it to play music, enter navigation destinations, and so on. When you get out of the car, your voice assistant will prompt you not to forget to bring your belongings. In addition, the voice assistant voice of the car is not a cold mechanical sound, but dubbed by the well-known voice actor Yama Shin, these small details have enhanced the "human touch" in the Wuling Star Car, which may also be the reason why the car can get the third place in the 9th Xuanyuan Awards in 2022 "Intelligent Cockpit Voice Experience".
Some people on the Internet say that Wuling Xingchen is "mineral water bottle Maotai", this evaluation is actually reasonable from a certain level, and its overall cost performance is indeed not low in the same level of models.
