As a high-end sub-brand of Chery, the birth process of Xingtu is really bumpy. However, after several years of market testing, the popularity and sales of the brand's models can be regarded as a steady rise. In the face of the hard-won rally, Xingtu will also be more close to the process of product update and expansion. No, in order to replace the original TX, that is, the short-axis version of Lingyun, Xingtu has recently brought a new product with a high-performance SUV positioning. And this new car is the Lingyun S. Moreover, thanks to the fact that Lingyun S is about to open pre-sale; netizens have recently photographed its real car figure in the local 4S store. So, what surprises can this product with the positioning of a sports SUV bring us? Let's take a look.
The Starway S can be understood as a redesigned Starway TX, or it can be understood as a short-wheelbase version of the Starway. There seems to be nothing special about its shape, it is completely designed according to the appearance of the stars, and the only difference is the red brake caliper and the "SPORT 4WD" logo.
As for the interior, it is completely copied from the shape of the stars. However, a closer look found that its steering wheel not only added red leather stitching, but also a small red decoration, the co-pilot decoration board is also marked with "Super Power", and the air conditioner outlet also adds a red decoration. Yes, this is called "movement".
On the side of the body, the Lingyun S shows its dynamic side, the front door has a red SPORT logo and black AWD words, the performance of multiple spokes and red brake calipers is quite combative, and the rear will be equipped with a highly recognizable through-line light set. In terms of body size, the Lingyun S has a length, width and height of 4690/1885/1730mm and a wheelbase of 2715mm.
In terms of power, the new car is expected to be equipped with the 2.0T engine on the Lingyun, which has a maximum power of 192kW (261Ps), a peak torque of 400N·m, and will match the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which means that the power performance is exactly the same as the current 2.0T version of the Lingyun.
Write at the end:
The inner volume of the domestic independent brand has actually been around for a long time, but in the long run, such a practice is not advisable, because only the appearance style is changed, the overall engine power level of the substance is not improved, the gap between the domestic car and the joint venture brand will be getting bigger and bigger, if only add an "S" in the name, the appearance style becomes a performance version, it is never possible to create a real performance car, this practice is no different from the ancient ear covering bell.
