In fact, the car is just a tool to help people quickly go from point A to point B, but people are often willing to give feelings to the things around them, the car is no longer a cold steel machine, it often carries a family's journey to the future, there are laughter and laughter in the journey, there are also hesitations, but because the car always accompanies people on the way forward, so it has become the best emotional sustenance for people.
Our harshness on automotive products also stems from our deep affection for it, and we hope that this reliable partner has more powerful functions, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it can carry us out of the city and go to a beautiful mountain and river.
At the same time, the budget in the hands of most consumers is not much, about 130,000 yuan to want to be able to navigate the city, but also to take a family out to play SUV during the holidays! After thinking about it, such a car entered our vision: the manufacturer's guidance price was 139,900 yuan, and the only Starway TX with a four-wheel drive system at the same level! This car was huge at the beginning of the listing, because the super four-wheel drive and super driving control make it an SUV model that can combine four-wheel drive and driving control, for such a model, of course, we have to really start, practice to know how strong it is.
1.6T, how strong can it be?
When the same level of models are using 1.5T engines, Xingtu still uses a 1.6T "Top Ten Chinese Heart" engine for this car, and the origin of this engine should not be underestimated, even compared with the luxury brand 2.0T low-power engine, it is also very advantageous. To know that bmw 2.0T low-power engine is only 156Ps horsepower, medium power to reach 186Ps horsepower, and the 1.6T engine equipped with The Starway TX has a maximum power of 145kW (197Ps) and a peak torque of 290N·m. When a traditional fuel car has strong power, everything left is icing on the cake.
After starting this car, the strong power will not bring an abrupt feeling, more inclined to the home comfort tuning style so that the Starway TX in the city as silky smooth, because there is a strong power reserve, in the comfort mode driving although the power output will not be front-mounted, but the throttle pedal pedal can give how much confidence is still very sufficient.
Speaking of the smoothness of driving, the Getrag dual-clutch transmission used by the Starway TX is the focus that must be mentioned, because the Getrag transmission has always been in-depth cooperation with BMW, based on the mature transmission matching technology, this dual-clutch transmission can be perfectly matched with the Starway TX 1.6T engine, in fact, the smoothness in the comfort mode is only the appetizer brought to us by the Starway TX and this gearbox, when the driver adjusts the mode to the sport mode, you can appreciate the true charm of this powertrain.
On highways or mountain roads, the red dashboard interface in Starway TX Sport mode reminds drivers all the time: "I'm not a mess"! More aggressive shift logic and a more sensitive throttle pedal make the whole car very tight, this tightness is also partly due to the Starway TX's brake system, because the power is strong and the SUV is not small, so the car has a two-cylinder dual-piston brake caliper, the brake foot feel is very sharp and linear, whether it is urban congestion or high-speed driving, the driver can get the braking force within the desired value when he presses the brakes.
When a car's powertrain is good enough, people will hope that it will perform better in other aspects, and often ignore its price, fortunately, the Starway TX can allow us to ask for more! unbelief? Let's move on!
Master chassis is not enough? Four-wheel drive system to hold
Looking at the same price point as the Starway TX compact SUV, there are many options in the market, the Starway TX can stand out not only by a strong powertrain, but also by its excellent chassis performance in various extreme road conditions, this level of models often can only take care of a certain aspect, all aspects of them are really a little difficult, Starway TX is obviously an exception.
When we drive the Xingtu TX in the suburbs of the non-paved road, we can feel the benefits of its excellent chassis tuning, because in the city road it is excellent quiet, we rarely perceive the chassis to bring small road feedback, but in the suburbs of non-paved road driving, we will perceive that the Xingtu TX on the road bump absorption is delicate enough, the wheel into the pothole when the body does not sink significantly, the wheel away from the pothole when the body will not lift excessively, in short, its suspension performance is tough enough, The transitions are also delicate enough.
A closer look at the Starway TX shows the subtleties, the excellent suspension performance is because it has a BENTELER master tuning chassis, and with the help of the former McPherson rear multi-link suspension form, the Starway TX's elk test results are also very good. As a home attribute SUV model, the chassis tuning is so perfect, not that Xingtu wants to pursue cross-border performance, but that the stability of the vehicle itself is also crucial to the safety of the vehicle.
That's right! With such a strong powertrain and such an excellent chassis tuning, wouldn't it be possible to unlock more beautiful scenery and unknown roads if there were more powerful four-wheel drive functions?
The Starway TX seems to know what consumers are thinking, the intelligent four-wheel drive system used in this car is provided by BorgWarner, which can bring more powerful passability to the vehicle, encounter difficulties and obstacles, only need to switch driving modes, after 0.07s our car can complete the transformation of two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive. This timely four-wheel drive system intervention timing is very accurate, in the recognition of the front wheel has a slight slip state when the system will immediately distribute power to the adhesion tire, it can do the fastest 60 milliseconds to cut off the power transmission, in the vehicle really encountered a skidding trap, quickly switch the power output can really avoid more serious accidents.
Easy to open, fit, and a little smart!
Driving Xingtu TX from the city to the suburbs, this road is not boring, because Xingtu TX, as an independent brand model, also has a very rich intelligent function in the car, and the double 12.3-inch smart screen integrates a lot of functions that young people love at present, such as 360 panoramic images, Internet of Vehicles, CarPlay and other convenience functions are equipped, allowing consumers to spend every cent of silver and two in the most correct place.
The interior design is also the highlight of the Xingtu TX, because there is an air conditioning touch panel under the dual screen, and the temperature control area is designed as two circular buttons suspended on the panel separately, this small design makes the whole vehicle have a sense of luxury that is impossible to have in the same class, and talk about luxury in the 130,000 yuan compact SUV car. Only Xingtu has this confidence.
As for the space issues that SUV owners will care about, Xingtu TX is not inferior to other players at the same level, this car is 4690/1885/1706mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2715mm, which has a lot of advantages over the same level of Honda CR-V, Toyota Willanda and other models.
In the domestic market, the model positioning of the automobile market has become more and more magical, such as the size of the Starway TX has completely exceeded the definition of the conventional definition of the "compact" SUV, and it is very subtle, and there are many joint venture brands that like to define their own compact SUV as a medium-sized SUV, false and true when true and false, true and false, and look at how real it is.
summary:
After test driving the Xingtu TX four-wheel drive version, it can be clearly felt that this car is not only equipped with the "Top Ten Chinese Heart" engine, but also the stability of the Xingtu TX in terms of traditional mechanical quality, as well as the thick workmanship materials of the car interior, all of which express the most sincere attitude to consumers.
The start-up model of the Xingtu TX four-wheel drive version is priced at 139,900 yuan, whether it is a joint venture or an independent brand, there are only a few SUVs that can bring consumers such a strong power in the 140,000 yuan range, and the Xingtu TX has added high-energy four-wheel drive and master chassis tuning on top of this, so that I can think of products that can compete with it, and only their own other dark horse players.
In short, the Xingtu brand is a car brand full of hope, and the full sincerity of Xingtu TX must be one of the indispensable sparks of the spark of hope of the Xingtu brand, and we look forward to it being able to have more consumers' favor!
