Have you found that the acceptance of domestic cars by contemporary young people will obviously be higher than that of the post-70s and post-80s, because behind the million-level annual sales of the first-line echelon of domestic brands, post-90s consumers have helped a lot. Of course, this point also has a lot to do with the series of models launched by car companies that cater to the preferences of young people, after all, the former "god car" Wuling has now begun to enter the young market.
Moreover, after Wuling blew the clarion call to the post-90s, its market performance was really good, such as the car we are going to talk about today- Wuling Xingchen, which is another representative model in addition to Hongguang MINIEV. Because from the perspective of sales, Wuling Xingchen, which was listed in mid-September 2021, won the cumulative sales of 54,563 units in only 3 and a half months.
Since it can win considerable sales and many honors soon after its listing, let's also take a look at how the specific performance of wuling star car is, and is it worth starting?
First look at the price, the star positioned in the compact SUV has launched a total of 5 models, the official guidance price is 69,800-99,800 yuan; after abandoning the two manual models, the threshold of the car is 79,800 yuan. In this way, the stars still hold the cost performance in the price.
In terms of appearance, as the silver label of Wuling, Xingchen also follows the design language of "wing movement aesthetics" at the design level, and the overall shape is to choose the mainstream young tone. For example, the young atmosphere brought by the star "V" shaped elements is more obvious, and the chrome decoration of the body, the contrasting roof, and the multi-spoke wheels are also showing favors to young people. However, I personally believe that The Stars lacks some flashpoints in the design of the sides and rear of the car, and the style is biased towards calmness.
However, the new interior design of Wuling Star is still relatively recognized by the author. From the perspective of the central control area, it has a clear sense of hierarchy and a small sense of refinement that young people like, such as the silver trim, paint panels and brushed panels that can be seen everywhere, which can subvert our inherent impression of the Wuling brand.
In terms of configuration, taking the top configuration of 99,800 yuan as an example, six airbags, 360-degree panoramic images, leather steering wheel/seat, 256-color mood lights, keyless entry in the front row, main driver power seats, LED high and near lights, the model has been given standard. In addition, we also saw the diamond-shaped check + punched hole design on the seat surface of the star, which is really good in the high-grade sense of grasping; and the Ling OS lingxi system of Wuling also makes the car experience of the stars more intelligent. But the configuration slot of the star is not nothing, such as the parking radar is only equipped with the rear radar, the active brake is not in the whole series; of course, considering the pricing of the star, so we can also understand.
In terms of space, The Star's only 4594mm length is actually not dominant compared to the same class of models, but its 2750mm wheelbase has laid a sufficiently spacious home space for everyone. The 177cm tall test rider sat in the back seat of the stars, and when the front row was adjusted to the driving sitting position, there were more than two punches in the rear leg space, and the middle platform was almost flat. In the trunk, the height and depth of the car are not bad, and the practicality is the mainstream level of the same level.
Power part, the 1.5T + CVT equipped with the star is the "Wuling power" that we are familiar with, the maximum horsepower of the engine is 147Ps, the peak torque is 250N·m, and the measured performance of zero hundred acceleration is more than 9 seconds; to say that the performance is fast, it is not, it is slow, it seems that the zero hundred acceleration of many SUVs at the same price is 10 seconds away, so whether the power is enough or not depends on the owners.
In terms of chassis, The Star is equipped with a suspension structure of front McPherson + rear torsion beam, which is also expected. In terms of driving texture, its vibration filtration is decent, and the bouncing sensation when passing through the large pit also needs to be optimized, but the high-end model with a price of 89,800 and above is equipped with an FSD variable damping shock absorber valve, which still plays a certain role in improving comfort.
Overall, in terms of design and youthful tone, the stars are not bad, and its interior texture is also very online. In terms of configuration and power, the performance of the star is also relatively average, and in terms of space and seat comfort, it can win a certain extra point. So after a horizontal review, I think Wuling Star is still quite suitable for the post-90s to buy as the first SUV for home.
