Chery's "Big Moon" plastic surgery was successful, 261 horsepower with double clutch! Still staring at Highlander?
Independent car brands started late, but they are all enterprising, Chery as early as 10 years ago tried to impact the high-end market, but at that time the conditions were not mature, whether it is technical reserves or design capabilities, compared with overseas brands Obviously there is a gap. Although Qoros has lost Qoros, Chery has then laid out Xingtu Automobile, and the most high-end product of the sub-brand is Xingtu Lanyue, which is the original Chery Xingtu VX, as the largest high-end SUV product under Chery, the market presence of Xingtu Lanyue is not strong, and it obviously needs to be optimized for design and details.
This year, Xingtu Lanyue will usher in an annual revision update, which is not a replacement, but the degree of change is also relatively large. The new version has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the first batch of mass-produced models have arrived at the 4S store for display. This time the star road moon plastic surgery is relatively successful, the original horizontal stripe air intake network lacks recognition, the biggest highlight of the front face this time is the straight waterfall type network, in fact, many domestic SUVs that take the high-end route will use this design, such as Hongqi HS7, and Lynk & Co 09.
The model was always compared with the Highlander when it was listed, in fact, the size of the Star Road Lanyue was more high-end than the Highlander, as a medium and large SUV, the total length of the body was 4970mm, the wheelbase reached 2.9 meters, the same with the case of 7 seats, the last row of space experience will be slightly more spacious than the Highlander, and more importantly, this chery Star Road Will provide a 5-seat version, the rear seats will be moved backwards, so that the second row passengers can enjoy the first-class treatment.
The design of the body side and rear has not changed much, and the interior is also a familiar through-screen style, is the whole car just changed the appearance of the front face? In fact, a lot of careful design needs to be carefully looked at, such as the position of the armrest box in the car is flatter, the brushed pattern decorative panel has been added, and the electronic gear rod has changed from the original small size to the current mainstream size, in fact, the star road to the Russian market at the beginning of the year has been replaced by this large gear rod, and the feel will be significantly improved, without erecting the orchid finger.
From the perspective of design evolution, Chery designer team also has two brushes, very aware of the current stage of the trend, if the SUV is hung on the Mercedes-Benz BMW logo, the asking price of more than 500,000 should be very normal, even if hung up on the Toyota or Honda logo, the price of more than 300,000 I am afraid that no one will feel outrageous. However, from the perspective of the positioning of the current model, the entry-level version of the StarWay Lanyue can completely reduce the price point to less than 200,000, and the entire series is indiscriminately provided with 400T high-power engines.
At present, the mature Chery 2.0T 3rd generation technical architecture performance is very strong, the maximum output power of 261 horsepower, which is not only among the best in the domestic field, even if placed in all overseas car brands 2.0T engine team comparison, Chery 261 horsepower parameters are also very advantageous, peak torque 400 Nm can not be faulted.
The only thing that is a little different is to provide a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, rather than the imported 8at gearbox used by high-end SUVs in the domestic field, which can only be said to be the result of Chery's comprehensive consideration of various factors, which may be to maintain independence and lay the groundwork for the future independent research and development of the at transmission, not to mention the reliability of the current dual-clutch transmission. With the intelligent 4-wheel drive system, the passability is also guaranteed, and overall, the quality of this 200,000-level star path is very strong, and there is no need to stare at the more expensive Highlander.
The question is, do you think Starway and Highlander, who is stronger? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans!
