Xingtu is Chery's high-end sub-brand, there are chasing wind, Lingyun and Moon Series, the current brand monthly sales can be maintained at about 5,000 units, from the perspective of high-end, it is not bad. However, only fuel power is available in the models on sale, which obviously does not meet the new needs of the market. No, star-way wind chasing ET-i is coming, equipped with a new energy power of star core that supports a series-parallel structure.
The Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i model has launched a total of 2 models, priced at 149,800-159,800 yuan respectively.

Overall, the length of the front of the car is slightly longer, and the proportion of other parts is quite coordinated, which will have a slight impact on the space inside the car, perhaps this is the redundant design of Xingtu Chasing Wind as a high-end brand, and the safety performance is better. The whole series is equipped with 18-inch wheels as standard, and the aluminum alloy wheels are designed with two-color double five-spokes, which is also relatively beautiful.
The tail adopts a through-type taillight group design, the lighting effect is very good, and the FOLLOWING letter logo is below, which looks extremely stylish. As a hybrid model, it is still designed with bilateral double-out decorative exhaust, and the real exhaust is bilateral double-out hidden, or it is more domineering.
The interior adopts the family design style, and the double 12.3-inch Dalian screen is very eye-catching, the display effect is very good, and the function is more comprehensive. The steering wheel supports four-way adjustment, with leather wrapping and multi-function buttons, which is still a great experience.
The whole series is equipped with panoramic image function as standard, the clarity is also very high, the fitting effect is good, or it is very worthy of affirmation.
The small paddle shift mechanism is very delicate, some people like it, some people don't like it, this sense of grade is enough, depending on personal preference.
The standard main seat ESC, high-end models with front seat ESC function, the overall comfort is acceptable, seat shape and filling is also a relatively common level.
The rear seating space is still enough, not spacious, after all, the body size and wheelbase are placed here. With rear air conditioning outlet and USB interface, the central floor is not high, and the rear seat is also equipped with a central armrest + cup holder, which is no problem to meet the needs of young families.
The panoramic sunroof is also the standard of the whole series, or relatively powerful, and the lighting and ventilation effect is very good in the model of the star chasing wind, which is not a very large size.

The power system of the Xingtu Wind Chasing ET-i is composed of a 1.5T EFI gasoline engine + 19.27kWh ternary lithium battery pack + dual motor + three-speed DHT transmission, which can realize the parallel output of power, a total of 9 modes and 11 gears to adapt to different road conditions. The 1.5T engine is biased towards leather durability and high thermal efficiency. The 19.27kWh ternary lithium battery pack can enable Xingtu to achieve a pure electric mileage of 105km, which can meet the needs of most domestic consumers for pure electric vehicles. Although they are all front-mounted, the advantage of dual motors is that the power performance is stronger and the power transmission direction is more abundant. The three-speed DHT transmission further improves the power operation efficiency, and the comprehensive power of the Xingtu wind chasing system reaches 240kW/510N.m, and the front-drive model can achieve 6.8 seconds of 100 km acceleration, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 1L/100km and a feed fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km.

The price of the wind version is 10,000 yuan, and the side air curtain, electric induction tailgate + memory, recorder, SONY audio, atmosphere lights, soundproof glass, AR navigation and other advanced configurations have been added, which is definitely worth the money and is more worth recommending.
