When I was preparing to buy a car, a friend recommended me the Beijing Hyundai ix25, in his opinion, the quality of the joint venture car is relatively good, and it is not easy to break down. And the price of the Hyundai ix25 is not expensive, the price of the naked car of the entry model is more than 100,000, and the high-end naked car is more than 130,000. However, after I went to see the Hyundai ix25 and thought twice, I decided to give up this car, mentioned the Wuling Star, and mentioned the top 1.5T Star Edition.
Don't look at the Top Version of Wuling Star that I mentioned, in fact, the price of this car is more affordable, the top naked car is less than 100,000, not as expensive as the entry model of hyundai ix25, and it must also meet my car purchase budget. And I also recognize the quality of the Wuling brand, I have a relative who runs the construction site, the car he drives is Wuling Hongguang, and the car has not been overhauled for seven or eight years. Wuling Star is also a member of Wuling's global silver standard car series, manufactured according to general global standards, with the same quality as the global car, presumably its quality and quality control will not be worse than hyundai ix25.
The body size of Wuling Xingchen is actually larger than that of hyundai ix25, I remember that hyundai ix25 is 4 meters 3 long, the wheelbase is 2 meters 6, and the length of the star is close to 4 meters 6, and the wheelbase reaches 2 meters 75. When I actually sat in the back of these two cars, I could also feel that the second row of seats of the stars would be more generous, I was 178cm tall, and there was no pressure on the legs of the rear of the stars, and in the back of the ix25, the knees might touch the back of the seats in the front row. I used to go to play with four colleagues, they were all strong men, and after sitting in the second row full of stars, no one complained to me that the space in the back row was not big enough.
In addition to the relatively large space, I found that the interior configuration of Wuling Star is actually higher than that of the hyundai ix25. Like the rear air conditioner outlet, it is actually not present on the modern ix25, but Wuling Star provides this configuration, which is well received. Now the weather is slowly getting hotter, and there is a rear air conditioner outlet, which will be friendly to passengers sitting in the rear seat. There are also 256-color mood lights, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, tire pressure display and other configurations on the Star car, which are also not available in the hyundai ix25.
When I drove the Wuling Star, the power output that this car brought to me would be a little more aggressive than the Hyundai ix25 that was test-driven at the time, which should be related to the fact that the Star was equipped with a 1.5T engine, and the Hyundai ix25 was equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. So when I start the stars, I will be more confident, when I want to overtake in the city, I will step on the accelerator deeply, let this 1.5T engine burst out of its power performance, and then I can easily overtake.
In addition, when passing through the continuous speed bump at the entrance of the school or the pothole section in the suburbs, the suspension feedback of Wuling Star will become softer, filtering out the vibration as much as possible. On asphalt roads, highways or expressways in urban areas, the suspension feedback of the stars will become tighter. This has something to do with the soft and hard adjustment of the star's own suspension, I have looked at other models in the same class, and found that most of them do not have this configuration, and the Hyundai ix25 does not have it.
Usually when I drive Wuling Xingchen, I will often use the Ling OS Lingxi system that comes with Xingchen, before I get on the car, I will use the mobile phone APP to remotely check the remaining battery life of the vehicle, if the battery life is not enough, I will locate the nearby gas station from the mobile phone. Now that the weather is slowly getting hot, I will still use the mobile phone APP to turn on the air conditioner in the car before getting on the car, and when I get in the car, the car will become cool and comfortable, and it will not be so hot. Although the modern ix25 also has the Internet of Vehicles, it does not support remote control, and naturally there is no way to remotely turn on the air conditioner.
As far as my current experience is concerned, I think Wuling Xingchen is actually more like a "hardcover car" that has been renovated, while the configuration of the Hyundai ix25 is not so comprehensive, more like a "rough car". Coupled with the fact that their prices are a little different and the size is not the same, it will naturally make me think that it is not cost-effective to buy a hyundai ix25. However, the fuel consumption of Wuling Xingchen is not as low as that of the modern ix25, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is close to 8L. Considering that Wuling Star is a turbo engine and the body size is larger, I think its fuel consumption performance is also reasonable. (Contributed by netizens)
