A few days ago, Xingtu announced the official price of its medium-sized SUV Lingyun S: the two-wheel drive version and the four-wheel drive version are 159,900 yuan and 169,900 yuan respectively. Comparing the car system table, it can be seen that the price given by the Lingyun S version is infinitely close to the entry gear of the 400T two-wheel drive and 400T four-wheel drive of the general board. For example, for the same two-wheel drive, the S version is only 2,000 yuan more expensive, and the four-wheel drive version is not bad. Under the same budget conditions, consumers only need to make a panning choice between the general board and the S version according to the needs and aesthetic preferences of the car.
In addition to the similar price, there are also many differences between the vehicle configuration and important dimensional parameters, and the Lingyun S and the general version. First of all, the entire Lingyun series is based on the M3X Mars architecture that came out last year, equipped with the same suspension, four-wheel drive and power system, and there is no difference in the core three major pieces, the difference is mainly reflected in the wheelbase and length - the wheelbase of the Lingyun S has been reduced from 2800mm to 2715mm, and the length has also come to 4690mm.
The more compact size means that the dynamic flexibility of the body is enhanced, and it is also in line with the sporty positioning of the S version, but the longitudinal space of the inner cabin will definitely be sacrificed a little.
The same car series under the same generation is also divided into two wheelbases, which are "unconventional operations" in the industry, and there is still some pressure on the production line. Of course, it also proves that the M3X Mars architecture has good plasticity and is more flexible in hardware settings.
In terms of on-board configuration, taking the 150,000 yuan two-wheel drive version as an example, the difference of 2,000 yuan includes the front and rear head airbags, full-speed adaptive cruise, driving recorder, wireless charging plate, front seat heating/memory, exterior rearview mirror heating defogging, rear privacy glass. Among them, the head airbag, full-speed adaptive cruise, and external rearview mirror heating and fog removal are all practical configurations, and the first two are difficult to install later.
Optional features include adaptive near and far lights, ADAS driver assistance systems including lane departure warning and lane keeping assist. To be honest, if you exchange it for 2,000 yuan alone, it is estimated that it can only be exchanged for a quarter of the standard, and it does not include the newly baked "blackened" appearance kit. Therefore, if this money is not bad, the S version is definitely more cost-effective.
If you add a budget of 10,000 yuan and upgrade your gaze to the four-wheel drive type of 169,900 yuan, the configuration difference between the S version and the general board is further distance. In addition to the above standard differences, the 4WD version also includes the optional ADAS driver assistance system and adaptive near and far lights in the 2WD version.
Not only that, but the main driver's waist support/heating/ventilation/memory, the co-driver's electric seat (including high and low adjustment), 64-color interior atmosphere lights, front double-layer side glass, automatic rearview down, automatic anti-glare of the inner rearview mirror, and air conditioning air purification function have also become the exclusive configuration of the S version of the four-wheel drive.
On the whole, the S version has a great tendency to replace. If there is no special attachment to the vertical space and appearance elements, choosing the S version is undoubtedly the most ideal. After all, the same money, but "white to give" more than a dozen configurations. Even if I choose between the two-wheel drive type and the four-wheel drive type of the S version, I am willing to add 10,000 pieces directly to the four-wheel drive type. Although the energy consumption will be slightly higher, the "compensation" received is absolutely sufficient.
From the outside, lingyun S is basically based on the design of the puban 400T model, and the heavy body, the raised waistline, and the iconic "split" face have been retained. In particular, the layered front face, with its wide air intake grille, is full of recognition. Among them, the willow leaf headlights and vertical sunshine lamps play a finishing touch, elevating the three-dimensional sense of the front face. In recent years, brands have scrambled to break the "image of passers-by" with a more distinctive design language in order to get the opportunity to emerge from the sea of cars.
Compared with the general version, the S version will inevitably add exclusive elements, such as the grille, the front bar under the guard, the front bar decorative frame, the exterior mirror, the tail light trim, etc., all of which are replaced by bright black, compared to the ordinary version of the body with paint or bright silver chrome, the sense of heaviness is better. The only thing is that the side window trim is still bright silver, such as synchronously changing to bright black, the "blackening" effect will be more thorough.
In addition, the S version of the wheel hub also features a new black "Y" shape, which is still 19 inches in size. Compared with the turbofan style of the pu plate, the former has a much stronger sense of tension and sports atmosphere, which is close to the overall tone of the S version. The S version's exclusive red twin-piston caliper can also be seen through the new wheels, which, together with the red "Sport" logo on the side of the car, serves as an embellishment or focus of sight.
The overall layout and configuration of the interior of Lingyun S are no different from the general version of the 400T, and the solid materials and high electrification have been continued. The regular "T" shaped layout extends the width of the cockpit from the sensory dimension and also facilitates the placement of functional keys.
The dual 12.3-inch LCD screen is a through-screen design, which is a standard "product of this generation". The functionality and amount of information are no different from the popular version. The biggest highlight of the interior of the S version is that the seats, central armrests, instrument panel, steering wheel parts have been added orange stitching and orange trim, and the seat belt has even been directly changed to orange.
The stitching shape of the seat surface and the door panel has been adjusted synchronously, and more Alcantara-like fur trims have been used in the material, which is more dynamic in visual performance. The co-pilot dashboard position is implanted with orange "Super Power" embroidery, and the sense of ceremony is +10.
Although the design and configuration of super 90% of the interior are no different from the general version, with the help of more passionate color and materials, the S version still strives to make a fresh feeling from the tactile and visual dimensions.
In the core part, The Lingyun S currently only offers two 400T models, equipped with a 2.0T engine + 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The maximum power and peak torque of the engine are no different from the general version, reaching 261Ps and 400N .m respectively, which is the presence of the competitors, and the aggressive output is almost in the same level as the GEME-T4 2.0T equipped with The Jeep.
It is necessary to say that the peak torque of the 400N .m can last from 1750rpm to 4000rpm, and in theory, the torque platform with early intervention time and wide range can provide a rapid starting response and an "inexhaustible" power reserve.
The suspension adopts a combination of front McPherson and rear multi-link combination with simple structure and good comfort, which is the same tacit understanding in the same price model. The drive is still divided into transverse front drive and timely four-wheel drive, and the four-wheel drive system is provided by BorgWarner. The addition of the four-wheel drive system has given the potential passengers of the car a variety of choices, and also ensured that in outdoor travel, the vehicle has a certain driving ability on complex roads.
It is necessary to mention separately that in the test of Zhuzhou International Circuit on April 17, the Lingyun S four-wheel drive model ran the best acceleration of 6.0s/100km. From the scene point of view, the starting attitude of the body is relatively calmly controlled, the front of the car is not too uplifted, and the front and rear suspensions can provide enough support so that the front wheels will not passively throw off the ground.
Even if there is a slip phenomenon, the four-wheel drive system and the electronic control system can also give countermeasures to suppress it at the first time, ensuring that most of the power can be effectively applied to the ground.
Lingyun S is equipped with horse brand UC6 tires, compared to the MC6 that takes the sports route and the CC6 that focuses on economic silence, UC6 absorbs the advantages of both, and has a certain balance on grip, wear resistance and noise reduction, which belongs to the formula of taking the comprehensive route, and the performance indicators to cope with The Lingyun S are completely sufficient.
Under the premise that the air temperature on the track is not low, after multiple accelerations, the degree of power attenuation of the car is also controlled within a reasonable range, and the floating value is about 0.6-0.9s. In short, the acceleration of the entire 100 km/h did not fall out of 7s.
On the key elk test, Lingyun S ran a score of 85.9km/h, which was incredible. Judging from the live broadcast screen, the posture of Lingyun S emergency line change is stable enough, and the suspension does not appear "out of control" pull or compression. The spring has enough strength to support the body, and the damping of the shock absorber can also pull the body out in time and correct the trajectory, and the whole process is within the controllable range. For everyday driving, such a chassis setting is completely more than enough.
If the on-site pile is indeed strictly in accordance with the ISO 3888-2 test standards, the skill of this car undoubtedly needs to be remembered, and it will not be too much evaluation here. It can only be said that it is not necessary to compete with the world-class high-performance sports car, and it is worth affirming that it can stand out in the same class.
brief summary
Compared with Changan UNI-K, Geely Xingyue L, WEY Weipai latte DHT and other competitors at the same price, the Lingyun family also has the ability to drag away the eyes of potential customers with a maverick design language and a very competitive configuration. The new S version also adjusts important wheelbase parameters while maintaining efficient power – sacrificing longitudinal space to increase dynamic performance. This is indeed a rare technique.
Of course, the most important thing is that under the almost same price prospects, the S version has greatly enhanced the in-vehicle configuration, especially the four-wheel drive version, and the configuration richness has risen by a full order of magnitude. If the budget is sufficient and there is no "excessive demand" for the space in the car, it is bold to choose the S version of the four-wheel drive type of 169,900 yuan, which cannot be wrong.
