Entry is luxury Standard 2.0T engine Xingtu Yaoguang Car Buying Manual

Those familiar with the automotive industry may find that Chery is still implementing the strategy of "having more children and fighting". Geely likes to make sub-brands, Chery likes to engage in multiple models, there is nothing wrong, but the direction strategy is different. The recently launched Xingtu Yaoguang, positioned as a mid-size SUV, is a traditional fuel vehicle. It is indeed rare to launch a new fuel vehicle in this era, but consumer demand for fuel vehicles still exists, so Xingtu Yaoguang is not too late. There are a total of 6 configurations of the new car, with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, which one to choose has become a more complicated issue, so let's explore it together.

Xingtu Yaoguang uses a more sci-fi exterior styling design, which has a bit of the meaning of new energy vehicles now. The front face is cross-cut black trim with the English logo of Xingtu engraved in the center, and the headlights on both sides are integrated into it, and the daytime running light strip runs through. The middle net uses gradient geometry and internal cutouts to provide air intake to the engine. There are also deflectors on both sides, which looks very sporty.

The side of the car looks like a sporty SUV, with flat upper windows and dark finishes with a certain back angle. The door handle adopts a hidden design, which has better flatness, although fuel vehicles do not need too much pursuit of wind resistance, but the sense of technology will be stronger.

At the rear, from top to bottom, you can see the sporty high brake lights, the through-type taillights, the lower enveloping sides and the corresponding deflectors on the front of the car, and the bottom two sides of the exhaust total. Compared with the current new car, the rear of the Xingtu Yaoguang is relatively low-key, but it cannot be said that it is not good-looking.

The interior of Xingtu Yaoguang is a relatively high-tech design, which is not much different from today's new energy vehicles. With a dual-screen connection, the size is 12.3 inches, and the standard equipment of the whole series is very good. Below is a through-type air conditioning outlet. The central floor area has only a few simple knobs and buttons to control the air conditioning system. Most of the floor space is reserved for storage, from front to back for mobile phones, cup holders and sundries, plus the armrest box at the back, which is quite spacious. The gear shift mechanism is placed behind the steering wheel, which is what we call the pocket gear.

Because of the relationship of the block, there is a large space in the lower part of the central control platform, and some uncommonly used things can be placed here. The seats of Xingtu Yaoguang are all made of leather, the low configuration is imitation leather, and the high configuration is genuine leather. The front row is electrically adjustable, and the Premium version begins to have heating and ventilation functions. The seats in the second row support angle adjustment and proportional recline.

In the power part, the whole series of Xingtu Yaoguang is equipped with a 2.0T engine as standard, with a maximum horsepower of 261Ps and a maximum torque of 400Nm, which is relatively strong in its class. With the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the zero hundred acceleration is estimated to run in 8 seconds.
