If you originally have a compact SUV, when you want to change the car, you can choose medium or medium-sized, at this time most people will think of the name Highlander, in the field of medium-sized SUVs, Toyota Highlander has a strong sense of existence. However, the starting guidance price of the 2022 Highlander is as high as 268,800, and the top match has reached 348,800, to be honest, this price range cannot be discussed at all. In fact, there is a high-end SUV in the domestic field that is higher than the Positioning of Highlander, but the new version that recently opened pre-sale is very close to the people, and the pre-price started at only 183,900.
This car is Chery Star TuYue, and the recent launch is a new 5-seat version, which is also the official name of the StarShare Edition. The new version is obviously much cheaper than the Highlander, especially the entry-level version is even close to the price of Toyota Rongfang, but Chery Star Tuyue is a very standard medium and large SUV, more optimistic than the Highlander size, with a total length of 4970mm, a wheelbase of 2.9 meters, and after adding a 5-seat version, the entire rear trunk is almost as big as a bed.
In order to bring freshness to consumers, Chery Xingtu Has carried out a larger facelift, compared with the original low-key horizontal stripe intake net, this new version of the front face is obviously radical a lot, larger size, and with a straight waterfall style, this style is a bit like Hongqi HS7 or Lynk & Co 09, the car logo is still Chery Xingtu English letter exeeed.
Nowadays, the technology atmosphere of domestic high-end models is far more than that of the joint venture brand, if you think that the interior of Toyota Highlander is quite acceptable, then Chery Star Road Moon is a completely different grade, and every detail is the best material for Chery. There are large size dual screens on the countertop, the air conditioning control area is also a touch panel with display function, and the head-up display projection module is not absent. This new StarShare edition brings a more comfortable electronic barrier, similar to the crystal material is also very delicate.
In the past, consumers tended to choose overseas brand models, partly because they could not trust the core power configuration of domestic models, but now they do not have to. Chery Xingtu Moon Power System is much stronger than the fuel version of highlander, the 2.0T turbo engine is Chery's independent research and development, the 400T version of the maximum output of 261 horsepower, while the Toyota Highlander used 2.0T engine is only 220 horsepower.
Chery's 2.0T peak torque has been able to rise to 400 Nm and Highlander's 350 Nm, and this difference will be directly reflected in the driving experience. The stronger Chery engine is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which may feel less high-end than the at transmission literally, but the actual matching effect is very mature, the acceleration is not dragging mud and water, and the key is that the BorgWarner intelligent 4WD system is blessed, and the control texture is guaranteed.
So to sum up, if the car purchase funds are around 200,000, it is impossible to choose the new version of Highlander, but it is better to try a more high-end medium and large SUV domestically, this Chery Star Road Moon has a strong quality, and the new design will not lose face.
