On April 19, The Starway S was officially launched, with two models, the Super Pro two-wheel drive 159,900 yuan, and the Super Pro four-wheel drive 169,900 yuan.
This level of SUVs, especially at this price point, is mainly positioned as an ordinary family or personal car, and it is generally difficult to achieve track-level high performance.
For geeks, this is a pity, but the advent of Starway S solves this pain point. In the 72-hour relay live challenge before the launch, the car achieved a "pentathlon" record.
Specifically, it includes: Zero Hundred Acceleration 6s, Elk Test (ISO:3888-2 Standard) 85.9km/h, Fixed Point Circle 31.3s, High-Speed Pile Winding 9.7s (Average Speed 66.8km/h) and Track Racing 2 minutes and 17 seconds. In particular, the rapid performance of 2 minutes and 17 seconds set a new record for the fastest lap of a mass-produced SUV at the F2-class circuit Zhuzhou International Circuit.
For a long time, as a routine test project, zero hundred acceleration, elk test, fixed point circle, high-speed pile winding and track racing are the test of the comprehensive performance of the vehicle, and are also regarded as indicators to measure the quality of vehicle handling performance, which can intuitively reflect the strength of vehicle performance such as chassis, power, steering, tire grip and body flexibility in the extreme driving scenario.
For a mid-size SUV with a body length of 4690/1885/1706mm and a wheelbase of 2715mm, especially the price is so close to the people, these high-performance indicators really surprise people and reduce the threshold for experiencing "fast and furious".
So, how does Starway S do it?
The first is naturally the power system. The Xingtu Lingyun S is equipped with the Star Core Powered 2.0TGDI engine, which won the title of "2021 Top Ten Hearts of China", and is matched with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 192 kW (261Ps) and a peak torque of 400 N·m.
This engine is Chery's flagship Huadan, designed for high-end models, its maximum effective thermal efficiency is as high as 41%, NEDC's comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 7.8L per 100 kilometers, and it has both power output and fuel economy.
In addition, the car inherits the M3X Mars Architecture (PRO) high-quality performance gene, with its own performance car foundation. The new car is equipped with a front McPherson rear E-shaped four-link independent suspension system, which makes the steering more precise and sensitive, and the body posture is more flexible. The 647mm center of gravity height, as well as the 55%:45% front and rear counterweight ratio, combined with excellent tuning and optimization, result in excellent handling.
In 2021, Xingtu Lingyun won the title of "Medium and Large SUV Group Champion" in the China Mass Production Car Competition (referred to as: CCPC), which is known for its vegan car participation, and set a record of "the fastest fuel vehicle since the START of the CCPC" with a zero-hundred acceleration of 6.58s. After adding the "S" this time, the strength will undoubtedly be further improved.
At the same time, with the launch of the Starway S listing conference, Starway also officially released the M3X driving experience camp. Through test content projects that include professional off-road conditions, track driving control, and personalized variety, users will feel the superior performance of Xingtu products in all aspects.
While pursuing pure driving pleasure, The Starway S does not compromise on safety.
In terms of passive safety, the proportion of high-strength steel in the vehicle is as high as 85%, and the yield strength of 1500Mpa super steel is used in key parts such as B-pillar, and the torsional stiffness of the body is as high as 28579Nm/dea. In terms of intelligent safety, the new car is equipped with 15 ADAS intelligent driver assistance systems as standard.
What's more, high performance and high control level itself is an aspect of safety, under the blessing of BENTELER master chassis tuning, BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel drive system, Bosch's latest 9.3 version of ESP body stability system, bringing faster, more accurate, more extreme driving experience, and 36.5 meters of ultra-short braking distance, but also greatly improve the stability and safety of control, over the cornering limit stable victory.
Finally, in terms of appearance, it is also full of sports style, driving on the street to definitely pull the wind.
In terms of appearance, The Starway S uses an exclusive sports kit to paint, and many details such as the front grille, the front fog light decorative frame, the front and rear protective plates, the rims, the rear tail lights and other details have been blackened, like a dark knight with a sword, adding a handsome temperament to the whole car. The black night sword rim with the flush red sport caliper makes the knight in the night full of aggression, with the iconic red "SPORT" logo at the rear of the car, making the whole vehicle extremely sporty.
Inside, the black and orange color scheme is matched with the suede material interior, and the sense of sports does not lose its luxurious atmosphere. The exclusive "super power" embroidery mark and orange seat belt play a role in finishing touches, symbolizing the track spirit of enthusiastic young people who dare to break through themselves and gallop passionately.
Three driver views:
Frankly speaking, with the gradual penetration of new energy vehicles, pure fuel performance vehicles are a bit recedent, which is also the "death of the times" in the great changes in automobiles in a hundred years. Therefore, the fuel car with track-level performance as the selling point is actually not flattering. However, it should not be ignored that there are still a number of high-performance fuel vehicles that have this demand, and Starway S is tailored for them.
Because there are only two models, it is relatively simple to choose a car. The difference is 10,000 yuan, the biggest difference is two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, four-wheel drive is timely four-wheel drive. At the same time, the configuration should be more abundant, more lane departure, lane keeping, road traffic identification, reversing side warning, on-board air will berthier and negative ion generator, as well as some comfort configurations, on the whole, this 10,000 pieces are still worth it, since it is a geek user, then don't hesitate, directly on the 169,900 yuan four-wheel drive version.
