In the eyes of many consumers, Wuling is good at creating god cars, and its Hongguang MINIEV, Wuling Rongguang and other models can be called "people's scooters". In order to further meet the needs of the people, especially the young people, Wuling officially launched Wuling Star in September last year.
So, from the perspective of actual products, this silver label series SUV starts at less than 70,000 yuan, equipped with a 1.5T engine, can it really continue the cost-effective advantage of the Wuling brand and achieve value for money?
Equipped with the Ling OS Lingxi system, is the use experience commendable?
In the face of Generation Z, how to meet their demand for smart cars has become a problem that domestic automakers need to seriously consider. In response to this question, the Ling OS Lingxi system is the answer given by Wuling and Wuling Xingchen.
Open the 10.25-inch central control screen in the Wuling Star Car, and you will find that the Ling OS Lingxi system equipped with this SUV, whether it is UI interface design or functional layout, is more in line with the habits of domestic users, and the difficulty of getting started is still relatively low.
At the same time, the Ling OS Lingxi system is currently not equipped with CarLife and CarPlay functions, but it does not matter, users only need to scan the WeChat code to log in, and open the WeChat Mini Program of the Ling OS Lingxi system in the upper right corner of the mobile phone, which can still be operated on the central control large screen, and the convenience is also strong.
In addition, the voice interaction system of the Ling OS Lingxi system has a good speech recognition degree and supports the issuance of single sentences and multiple commands, eliminating the trouble of multiple wake-ups.
Looking at the team function of the Ling OS Lingxi system, it is similar to the group chat function of WeChat: when the Star users want to travel in a group, they can start a team by 1 person, and others can join, and then they can use the Ling OS Lingxi system to send messages to each other, share the location, and travel with a companion.
Size more than Audi Q3, Wuling Stars are comfortable enough?
As we all know, many consumers choose SUV models, mainly for the spatial performance of SUV models. So, in terms of spatial performance and driving comfort, can Wuling Xingchen continue its good performance in intelligent configuration?
Looking at the size first, the length/width/height of Wuling Star is 4594/1820/1740mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which is even more than the wheelbase of the luxury SUV Audi Q3 (the length/width/height of the Audi Q3 is 4495/1848/1616mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm). To put it bluntly, the body size performance of Wuling Xingchen is considered to be a medium-to-high level in the same class of models.
However, Wuling Star is not a luxury SUV, and the seats equipped with it are not leather seats but ordinary leather seats, but the top price of this SUV is less than 100,000 yuan, and the seat filling in the car is more elastic, the support is better, and the comfort is still good.
The entire series is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum output of 147 horsepower
From the intelligent configuration to the performance of space comfort, the performance of Wuling Stars is remarkable; but for young people, it is still not enough, because for most young people, motivation is also a compulsory item.
In terms of power, Wuling Star is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum output of 147 horsepower and a peak torque of 250N·m. It has to be admitted that the power performance output of Wuling Xingchen is not strong, and some joint venture brand models with the same displacement are indeed better than Wuling Xingchen in terms of performance parameters.
However, the power output of Wuling Star can still fully cover the daily travel needs of users. It is worth mentioning that this SUV also has the only FSD shock absorber valve in the same level, which can enhance the road adaptability of the vehicle to a certain extent, and also help to enhance the user's driving experience and self-confidence.
Conclusion:
As a compact SUV with a starting price of only 69,800 yuan, Wuling Star basically has no shortcomings in terms of space, intelligent configuration or power performance performance, and indeed continues the consistent cost-effective advantage of Wuling Automobile, which coincides with the positioning of "100,000 super power play" repeatedly emphasized by Wuling officials.
It can be said that Wuling Xingchen, for young people whose purchasing power is not strong, can be called "just need a car".
