Many friends choose SUVs, initially in order to be able to switch freely in scenes such as city commuting and outdoor travel.
But the reality is that most friends buy SUVs, especially 100,000 models, almost only commute in the city. Long-distance travel, self-driving travel and other scenes are pitiful... The reason is simple, their own car, there may be some constraints, not suitable for running long distances. However, if you originally chose an SUV like Wuling Star, it may bring a different answer.
How does a compact SUV take into account multiple scenarios?
When commuting in the city, we want to drive a car that is flexible and not cumbersome; but when driving long distances, we want our car to be more space-free and practical. To this end, how is Wuling Xingchen satisfied?
First of all, from the perspective of model positioning and size, the length, width and height of Wuling Star are 4594/1820/1740mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which belongs to a more mainstream compact SUV. In fact, this size is also friendly to most drivers, and it can be more flexible when traveling through the city and reversing in a narrow parking space.
Moreover, Wuling Xingchen has been optimized for ergonomics, and it also brings a good view through a relatively high sitting posture and larger windows. In the narrow section of the road, the driver can not only judge the relative position of the vehicle relatively easily, but also the blind spot of vision is relatively small, and it is relatively flexible to drive.
When traveling long distances, we want to get a larger, more practical spatial representation. Don't look at the size of Wuling Star is not exaggerated, but thanks to the compressor cabin space and the expansion of the crew compartment space, the driving and occupancy inside this car is actually not small. Especially in the second row, after the front row passengers are adjusted to a suitable sitting position, the leg space of the second row passengers still has a certain surplus, and coupled with the adjustable angle of the backrest, it can further improve the comfort of long-distance travel.
In terms of storage space, Wuling Xingchen can put down luggage and other items for a family to travel even in the state of five seats. Of course, if you like camping, you can also put down the back of the rear seats after arriving at the camp, and the trunk also forms a wide, flat space, where four people sit and chat, play cards and so on.
SUVs that can travel far require greater comfort
Many friends in the drive of 100,000 SUV out of the door, the probability will encounter such a problem: SUV wind resistance of large vehicles insulation is more general, in the high-speed noise impact is more uncomfortable; this price of SUV configuration is generally not high, entertainment functions are relatively small, sitting on the car will be boring.
In order to solve these problems, Wuling Star has also carried out a series of optimizations.
For example, in terms of sound insulation, Wuling Automobile uses thicker sound insulation materials. From the actual experience, although Wuling Xingchen's control of tire noise and wind noise is not as good as that of more expensive models, it is already among the best in the 100,000-level price point.
At the same time, in order to create a more comfortable carriage environment, the interior of Wuling Star also adopts the treatment of home warm style, with off-white leather and top lining, so that the atmosphere in the carriage is much more transparent, and it is not easy to feel depressed when riding for a long time.
In terms of intelligent networking system, Wuling Star is equipped with Ling OS Lingxi system. When traveling, if you are bored and want to listen to songs, you can directly wake up the voice assistant "Xiaoling" and let him search for music or audiobooks directly online. In addition, the navigation system is often used when traveling long distances, and Wuling Xingchen also supports online navigation functions, real-time update of road conditions, the use experience is not much different from the mobile APP, and the map display will be clearer, and the driver is more convenient to view.
A more balanced power can truly achieve multi-scenario balance
In fact, for an SUV, the most core quality is the power performance of the vehicle. In the city, driving should be easy and easy to get started; when traveling, it is necessary to have enough power and good ride performance. So, how does Wuling Star's 1.5T+CVT powertrain perform?
First of all, in the city, the start and acceleration of Wuling Star is relatively smooth and linear, and the driver can control the throttle of the vehicle more calmly, especially in the traffic jam environment, and is not "tired". This performance is also due to the linear tuning of the CVT gearbox and engine, although the car is not very aggressive to drive, but this relaxed driving atmosphere is more pleasing.
When traveling long distances, Wuling Xingchen's engine reserve has 147Ps horsepower and 250N·m of torque, which is not a good parameter, but it is also stronger than the models equipped with 1.5L and 1.8L self-priming engines in the same class.
Especially when overtaking at high speeds, the car is powerful enough to make it easy and quick to overtake the car in front of you after stepping on the accelerator. And in this process, the CVT transmission downshift will not bring unnecessary setbacks, ensuring a comfortable environment inside the cabin and not causing discomfort to passengers.
【Conclusion】
As a 100,000-level SUV, Wuling Star actually does not have a particularly prominent advantage, but it is not short-board, and the overall performance is more balanced. Especially in the face of urban commuting, long-distance self-driving and other scenarios, its space comfort, configuration richness and power performance can be easily competent. On the whole, this car is also a relatively cost-effective model in the current 100,000-level SUV market.
