In order to achieve brand upwards and further expand market share, SAIC-GM-Wuling brought silver label sequence products with global quality in 2020. The first "big four-seater" family car, Wuling Capgemini, has been recognized by the public with its flexible and changeable space once it was listed. In mid-September 2021, Wuling Xingchen, the first strategic SUV of the Wuling Silver Label Sequence, was officially announced, and as of last month, it exceeded 70,000 units in five months. To be fair, for the newcomer wuling xingchen, it is really worth showing off.
Although they are all silver-label models, unlike Capgemini, Star is in the more competitive compact SUV market. The share of this market is almost controlled by the independent brands represented by Haval, Changan and Geely. It's not easy for newcomers to stand out. Then again, why can Wuling Stars rise rapidly in a short period of time? Today, let's analyze it briefly.
For the buyers of this price point, they are obviously particularly sensitive to the price, and the guidance price of 69,800-99,800 yuan of Wuling Star is relatively close to the people, which will naturally make consumers look at it twice. It is true that cheap prices can attract the attention of consumers, but if there is no solid product power, then consumers will not have the impulse to continue to understand. So, what characteristics does Wuling Xingchen rely on to retain consumers?
I think the space of the Five Stars is a little bit. While its body size (4594×1820×1740mm) is not superior to mainstream compact SUVs such as the Haval H6, its 2750mm-long wheelbase is a leapfrog. In terms of actual tests, the 180cm tall author sat in the car, the space is still relatively spacious, especially the rear leg space, and even comparable to the medium-sized SUV such as Volkswagen Tanyue. In addition, it is worth saying that the rear seat backrest of Wuling Star can also be adjusted at an angle, with a maximum adjustment range of 130 °, which can be "lying flat" freely, and the riding experience is not bad.
Not only the riding space, the carrier space of Wuling Star is also quite attractive, its interior is relatively flat, only a small part of the convexity on both sides, the depth is 930mm, after the rear seat is reclined, the maximum can be expanded to 1840mm, combined with the horizontal width of 1030-1260mm and the longitudinal height of 760mm, it can provide a maximum storage volume of 1632 liters, which is the leading level of the same level in terms of data.
In addition to the practical space, in terms of the quality that consumers pay more attention to, Wuling Star also shows a strong attraction. Specifically, taking the central control part as an example, Wuling Xingchen used a lot of soft materials to cover the car, plus a set of double-suture quilted process seats with diamond checkered pattern and punching treatment on the surface, which looked and felt quite textured; there were also 256 color atmosphere lights and 9 high-quality stereo speakers on the high-end models to further enhance the user's audiovisual experience.
Not only that, Wuling Star is also equipped with a newly developed Ling OS Lingxi system, which not only provides a wealth of network applications, but also has a high degree of fluency and good convenience. In simple terms, users can use dialogue to control multimedia, air conditioning, car windows, even if the user sends out continuous voice commands such as "play XXX music, adjust the air conditioner to 26 degrees Celsius, and then navigate to XXX", it can also accurately identify and quickly execute.
As for the power, it is undeniable that the 1.5T engine (147Ps/250N·m) equipped by Wuling Star is not as convincing as the Haval H6 (169Ps/265N·m) and The Changan CS75 PLUS (188Ps/300N·m), which also use 1.5T power. However, from the actual experience, the power of Wuling Star can also meet the daily needs of the family, and the measured acceleration of 100 kilometers reaches 9.07 seconds. In terms of transmission, the CVT gearbox that can simulate 8-speed can not only make the power output more stable, but also have a certain degree of fuel saving. According to public data, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Wuling Star's NEDC is 7.7L/100km.
In general, the power level of Wuling Star, although it is only enough performance, it still has a more practical space, as well as rich configuration and high-quality craftsmanship. At the same time, the Ling OS Lingxi system also makes its intelligent network part perform well, which is both good entertainment and high ease of operation. Coupled with the price of less than 70,000 yuan, as well as the quality reputation of the Wuling brand, it is no wonder that it can rise rapidly in a short period of time and become a "dark horse" of the same level.
