With the rapid development of China's automobile industry, the high-end brands of independent brand car companies have also come out, the Great Wall has Wei brand, Geely has Lynk & Co, and Chery, as a big SUV household? Of course, there are also their own high-end brands - Xingtu. Although the popularity is weaker in comparison, the product strength is by no means outdated, especially in terms of power performance. Empty mouth, how strong it is, perhaps through the just completed listing of The StarWay Lingyun S can get the answer.
Lingyun S was officially launched on April 19, the owner of the power performance, the whole series launched a total of 2 models, all equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engine, the price range of 159.99-16.99 million yuan.
The new car can be regarded as a new model of the Lingyun family, so only targeted upgrades have been made in the design, and not many changes are actually acceptable.
The exterior is still the brand's family-style design language that we are familiar with, avant-garde and personal. The Lingyun car series can be regarded as the forerunner of the bezel-less grille, and the Lingyun S has been blackened on the basis of the previous model, with the purpose of emphasizing sportiness.
The personality given by the split headlight group is strong enough, and the LED daytime running lights with the vertical layout below push the recognition to a new level. The light source is all LED, equipped with automatic headlights, adaptive near and far lights, headlights delayed off and other functions. It is worth mentioning that the "EXEED" Logo can be lit.
Coming to the side of the car, the overall shape is relatively simple but the sense of movement is not weak, mainly due to the seemingly absent waist line and the convex front and rear fenders, coupled with the dense spoke 19-inch blackened wheels and red calipers, making the sporty atmosphere of Lingyun S amplified again. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4690/1885/1706mm, and the wheelbase is 2715mm, which is consistent with the current Xingtu TX model on sale, and has shrunk compared with the Lingyun model.
In the details, the exterior mirrors, luggage rack, and "shark fins" have been blackened, which can be said to be one of the lowest cost and most effective ways to create a sense of movement. In addition, the words SPORT and AWD have been added above the front door to highlight the identity of the model.
The rear shape is still moving, and the spoilers, rear tail lights, and trims have also been blackened. At the same time, the red SPORT logo is very eye-catching at the rear of the car. The through-line light group design has nothing to say, and it is one of the fashion items of the current rim design. The two exhausts on both sides are real guys, and the styling and details are very careful, which further strengthens the sporty nature of the model.
The luxury and technology attributes of the interior have been reflected in the previous Lingyun models, and the Lingyun S has added a sporty element to this basis. At the material level, the center console and door panels have been upgraded from the original leather/soft material coating to suede. At the same time, the trim panel in front of the co-driver also has the model's exclusive "Super Power" embroidery mark.
The three-spoke flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel is visually much more delicate after adding orange stitching and decorative strips, and there are also paddle shifters on the four-wheel drive model. Orange accents have also been added to the edges of the one-touch start button and the armrest box, making them more combat-minded.
The double 12.3-inch simulcast performs well in all aspects, especially in terms of intelligent networking, the Xiongshi Zhiyun 4.0 system has very rich networking functions, and the number of built-in third-party applications will continue to increase.
The large screen below is the air conditioning control area, and the two temperature adjustment knobs also integrate two small screens to display temperature, mode and other information.
The seats are covered in leather + suede with diamond-shaped stitch textures for a high quality.
In terms of power, the Lingyun S is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 261 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm, and the transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and equipped with a catapult start function. In terms of suspension, the front McPherson/rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension structure is adopted, and the high-end model has a four-wheel drive system.
It is necessary to say about the label of Lingyun S refueling fuel, according to official information, refueling No. 95/92 gasoline can be done, if the user wants to obtain the ultimate power output (400N·m) can use No. 95 gasoline. At the same time, even if no. 92 gasoline is used, there will be no significant attenuation of power in japanese driving.
Write at the end:
Exterior, interior aside, as a derivative/new model, most of them are concocted. For Lingyun S, the most impressive point for users lies in the power level, which is also the core competitiveness of the car.
So, is it feasible for Xingtu to rely on this in exchange for sales? In front of users who are looking for power and want to buy SUV models, it may have a certain temptation. After all, there are only a few powerful models in the mid-size SUV segment, and I hope that Lingyun S's sword walk can enhance its popularity in the circle.
For Lingyun S, you may wish to talk about it in the comment area. How the dynamic part of the car performs, we will offer it to you as soon as we get the test drive.
