After unloading several burdens, Chery began to seek a multi-brand strategy of full control in the passenger car market, and Jietu and Xingtu have entered different fields. Among them, Xingtu entered the consumer market as a high-end brand and became a brand under Chery to show its leading core technology, Chery almost put all the advantages of technology in this brand, and the Xingtu Lingyun to be seen here is to obtain 2.0T, Xiongshi Zhiyun, FAPA automatic parking and other leading software and hardware of the domestic good car.
Xingtu Lingyun is still very personal in vision, from the headlights, grilles to the rear bumper are used in a horizontal penetration of the decorative method, between the headlights there is a black decorative plate engraved with EXEED English nameplate and chrome fusion, headlight structure and its closer connection. The grille is also open, with black trims connected by horizontal banners and daytime lamps hidden in them to blend in with the deflector. In addition, the front bumper is surrounded by a high degree of fusion, from the wheel eyebrows, side skirts to the rear bumper, the chassis forms a closed loop to ultimately improve passability.
In fact, from the front face of the vehicle, the star is still very straight, but in fact, from the side rear, whether it is the undulating and changing segmented waist line on the side, or the extended black spoiler tail wing at the tail, the through-type taillights, or the special-shaped exhaust pipe below, it seems to indicate that it still wants to take the sports route.
As a medium-sized SUV, the body length, width and height of the Starway Lingyun are 4780/1885/1730mm, and the wheelbase has also come to 2800mm, which is still visually smooth and low because of the narrower windows and the all-black decoration of the upper and lower parts.
At the same time, under such a size specification, Xingtu Lingyun can create 1 punch + front and rear head space for experiencers with a height of 181cm at the same time; at the same time, the leg margin of the back seat has reached 2 and a half fists, so the performance is indeed worthy of its B-level positioning.
Back to the cockpit, although the positioning of the Starway Cloud is high-end, it can be limited by the cost price, and its interior is not all soft packages, like the bottom baffle and the top layer of the central control, the touch is still relatively hard. However, the soft leather covering with red stitching and the frizz material on the central horizontal plate can still bring comfortable tactile feedback to the key parts of the frequent touch. In addition, standardized front seat electric adjustment and heating are provided, and the rear seat will also support the backrest angle adjustment.
On the center console, the two conjoined LCD screens do not look so large because of the narrow border structure, but they are actually 12.3 inches, and equipped with a new generation of Lion Zhiyun system, the current mainstream real-time navigation, CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, voice interaction with air conditioning, remote car connection control and OTA online upgrade can be achieved, and high-end vehicles will also have facial recognition unlocking functions through built-in cameras. In addition, the air conditioning system will have a separate console with a screen display, which retains the dual knobs while also providing digital display and touch functions.
In addition to the advanced configuration, Starway also includes a set of ADAS advanced driver assistance system, 22 active safety assists allow it to achieve FAPA fully automatic parking, moving obstacle AEB automatic emergency braking and full speed adaptive cruise and other driving assistance functions.
At the same time, the front row of the vehicle has a wireless charging board, 64-color atmosphere lights, multi-layer soundproof glass, and the rear row has independent air outlet, rear privacy glass; in addition, it also has a sensor tailgate, SONY Sony audio and other functional accessories.
The powertrain has always been a highlight of Chery, and Xingtu Lingyun has obtained the Kunpeng Power brand's 2.0T turbocharged engine, whose power parameters of up to 192kW/400N·m are enough to explain the problem; at the same time, the vehicle will also be fully matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and can be supported by the BorgWarner Nextrac intelligent four-wheel drive system, despite the lack of higher-level variable suspension and additional differential mechanism, but the three different driving modes will still have different response differences. Demonstrate its advantages in terms of comprehensive performance.
Write at the end
Judging from the price of 14.79-17.99 million yuan combined with its medium-sized SUV positioning, Xingtu Lingyun is not a real high-end product, and the threshold below 150,000 is still cheaper than the medium-sized SUV we see in other independent brand arrays. But as we mentioned at the beginning, Chery does put the best things in the lineup on this Starway Lingyun, so that it is enough to afford the name of a good domestic car.
