As an automobile brand that started with commercial vehicles, Wuling Automobile's leather solid and durable manufacturing has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; with the popularity of the family car market, Wuling Automobile has also begun to lay out in this field, and after integrating years of car-making technology and superior resources, it has launched Wuling Silver Label and Wuling Silver Label models.
Although the two Wuling silver label models that have been listed so far have achieved very good sales and reputation in the car market, there may still be many fans and users who still have such a question, that is, "Can Wuling, which makes commercial vehicles, build good family cars?" In order to answer this question, we found a owner of the Top Edition of Wuling Star - Old Tang, to see if this 100,000-level compact SUV is a qualified family SUV in his car life?
"It's not amazing, but it doesn't look cheap either"
Old Tang is now more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, has children and daughters in the family, and he and his wife also run a supermarket, which can be said to be a standard well-off family. When Old Tang first bought a car, although the first consideration was practicality, he would also have a little face demand.
"Although my Wuling doesn't look so amazing, it's definitely not cheap to drive out," Lao Tang said truthfully.
Indeed, his Wuling Star as a 100,000-level SUV, the overall design style is relatively simple. However, under the blessing of the aesthetic design concept of Wing Motion, the overall design texture of Wuling Star is more in line with the aesthetics of home users, and the details are well created, which does not look rough or cheap.
In addition to the appearance that makes Old Tang more satisfied, this old brother is actually more satisfied with the interior of the stars. This car adopts a multi-level center console design, and there is a more delicate white leather in the door panel and other parts, from the sense of layering in the design, to the materials and colors, this Wuling Star is more warm, and it has been considered to be relatively good in the 100,000-level model.
"Great location, clean and comfortable."
Old Tang's family of four, when going out, hope to make themselves and their families more comfortable. Old Tang also said bluntly that there is a very important reason why he chose Wuling Xingchen, that is, the wheelbase of Wuling Xingchen has reached 2750mm, which is longer than the second-generation CS55PLUS and Haval H6 cars.
The longer wheelbase, in fact, the main advantage is reflected in the second row space. Old Don's two children need not say much, in the back row can sit casually. Even the old Tang, who is 1.75 meters tall, likes to go to the second row to take a comfortable rest when waiting for his children to finish school. If the body is particularly tired, it is also necessary to adjust the angle of the backrest to a little wider, and use the "Ge You paralysis" posture to relax and relax.
In addition, because Old Don himself opened a supermarket, he would sometimes go in and out of the goods by himself. At this time, the spacious and flat trunk of Wuling Xingchen reflects the role, like a small box cargo "can be loaded". And when he takes the family on a weekend outing, he can also put the second row of seats down after arriving at the destination, forming a wide and flat space, and the children can also rest and relax in the car, which is also more practical.
In addition, the configuration of this Wuling Star also made Old Tang feel "not bad".
According to him, its car is equipped with the Ling OS Lingxi system, with a number of online network APP and intelligent voice interaction functions, which can make his car life more convenient and comfortable. For example, if you want to open the window, you can directly say "open the window", which is very convenient; when you need to use navigation, you only need to say "Navigate to XX", and the route will be displayed on the central control screen.
Moreover, Old Tang also prefers the detailed configuration of this Wuling Star. For example, through the electric adjustment function of the main driver, he can directly adjust the sitting posture when running long distances to avoid the fatigue caused by a single sitting position. In addition, the Bosch ESP stability system, six sets of airbags, and tire pressure display functions in the safety configuration can also meet the safety needs of Old Tang for family travel, anyway, in his words, "knowing these configurations is particularly reassuring."
"The three big pieces are not bad, like the texture of the star's chassis"
In fact, when Old Tang bought a car, he was also struggling, whether to buy a model with stronger power, after all, he liked to take his family out on outings, often running at high speed, afraid of the lack of power of Wuling Stars. But when Old Don carried the car home, he found that he was worried.
The power reserve of Wuling Xingchen is indeed not very strong, with a maximum horsepower of 147 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm of the 1.5T engine. But Old Tang found that such a power reserve, even if it was full of luggage for the family and a trunk, was enough. Especially after running a trip to the plateau, the power of Wuling Xingchen is not weak, but the adjustment is oriented to comfort.
When it comes to comfort, it's inseparable from the CVT gearbox. CVT transmission belongs to the "stepless transmission", whether in the urban congestion environment or when running at high speed, the passengers in the car will not feel frustrated, but always comfortable and soft.
In addition to the power system, Old Tang was the first to struggle with the configuration of the front McPherson and rear torsion beam suspension of Wuling Star. Indeed, many 100,000-class models now use four-wheel independent suspension, and the non-independent suspension of the rear torque beam of the Star is indeed not so "good-looking".
But after using it, I realized that I could hardly feel the difference in my daily life. Because Old Tang's Wuling Xingchen uses a variable suspension system, the softness and hardness of the shock absorber can be adjusted by itself. When running at high speed, the shock absorber is a little harder, the chassis is more stable and more supportive; on bumpy roads, the suspension is softer, and the vibration filtering ability will be more thorough, which is so comfortable that Old Tang is somewhat surprised.
【Conclusion】
In fact, through the experience of Old Tang, we can find that the quality of a car is actually irrelevant to the price. Just like Wuling Xingchen, although the top price is less than 100,000 yuan, its inherent qualities are very good, which is a very cost-effective choice for home users such as Old Tang.
