All along, "what the people need, Wuling will make", from the beginning of Wuling Hongguang, to the production of masks, and then to the Rongguang Wing to open the sale of trucks such as such a "stall artifact", the later Hongguang MINIEV is called "the people's scooter". It can be said that Wuling has played this slogan to the fullest. Nowadays, in the face of consumer demand for high-quality and cost-effective passenger cars, Wuling Silver Label came into being. Following the launch of MPV Capgemini and SUV Star, another more affordable sUV is also coming.
Recently, we got the road test spy photos of this SUV model from relevant channels. According to the previous information, the new car or named Wuling "Xingchi", is expected to be positioned as an entry-level compact SUV, with reference to the "big brother" Star 6.98-9.98 million price, the price of "Xingchi" will also be lower, the starting price or about 60,000 yuan, and is expected to be listed in the fourth quarter of this year.
Combined with the previous patent diagram, the overall shape of the new car is very similar to wuling star, which can also be seen as a "trumpet star". The large-size trapezoidal grille of the front face adopts black dot matrix arrangement elements inside, forming a visual sense of "V" and the LOGO of Wuling is inexplicably similar and highly recognizable. The headlights are integrated with the central network, and it is suspected that a two-row through light strip is used to highlight the futuristic sense of science and technology and youthful positioning. The front surround of the three-segment layout below, in the same way as the stars, also looks very sporty.
On the side of the body, the segmented waistline extends from the front headlights to the rear of the car, in line with the stars. However, the front high and back low roofs create a forward swooping posture, and with the suspended roof and petal wheels, it looks more stylish. The body size may be one circle smaller than the star (4594/1820/1740mm, 2750mm). The tail does not use the same through-style taillights as the stars, presumably this is also the difference between high and low positioning, and the rest of the styles are similar to the stars, in line with the aesthetic tendencies of young people.
The interior has not been exposed, but with reference to the stars, "Xingchi" should also adopt a simple and exquisite style, such as a suspended central control screen, a three-frame steering wheel with a silver label and other elements are not expected to be absent. As for the power, the new car will most likely be equipped with the same 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine as the Star, with a maximum power of 108 kW (147 hp), a maximum torque of 250 N·m, a transmission system matching a 6-speed manual and a CVT transmission, and a chassis that may also use front McPherson and rear torque beam non-independent suspension.
In fact, there have been many netizens want Wuling to launch a fuel version of Hongguang MINI, now it seems that Wuling "Xingchi" can be regarded as a "substitute" for the fuel version of Hongguang MINI, the figure of the small SUV is not only very convenient, and the practicality is higher, in addition, fuel power does not have to worry about the problem of battery life and charging difficulties, the most important thing is that "Xingchi" is not much more expensive than Wuling Hongguang MINIV, and it is very suitable for buying vegetables and taking the baby. So, what do you think about this Wuling "Star Chi", welcome to leave a comment.
