With the consumption upgrade of the domestic automobile market and the continuous rise in the demand for family travel, the SUV market, especially the mid-performance SUV market, has been heating up. So, under the situation of serious market competition, how can we judge the performance of a mid-level SUV? As the saying goes, it is the mule that the horse pulls out for a walk. CCPC is the highest and best standard for judging the performance of a production car.
What is CCPC? It is the abbreviation of the China Production Car Performance Competition. The China Production Car Performance Competition (CCPC) is a national-level professional automobile competition jointly created by China Automotive Technology and Research Center and China Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Federation. Therefore, in recent years, it has received more and more attention and attention from automobile manufacturers and consumers.
Recently, the new generation Lingyun won the championship of the mid-size SUV category of the CCPC China Production Car Performance Competition, which is the third time that Xingtu Lingyun has won the CCPC mid-size SUV championship.
It seems that Xingtu Lingyun has firmly set a new benchmark for the value of mid-level performance SUVs.
Below, we will analyze each of the three dimensions of power, handling and braking.
Power performance 000 acceleration surpasses BMW X3
Why was Xingtu Lingyun able to win 5 and 7 first places and all 10 in the CCPC for three consecutive (2021-2023) China Production Car Performance Competition, and successfully completed extreme challenges such as climbing 37.1° snow Ruyi and pulling an airplane to take off?
As we all know, as a high-end brand of Chery Automobile Group, Xingtu has inherited Chery Automobile's years of automotive technology accumulation and R&D technology. Moreover, in the R&D team of Xingtu Lingyun, more than 300 former BMW designers participated in the construction, and it has been upgraded 4 times in 4 years, which is the model with the best performance tuning of Chery's system and has accumulated a good market reputation.
In the power system of Xingtu's new generation of Lingyun, the most proud is the golden combination of 400T star nuclear power + 8AT gearbox: 2.0TGDI "China Heart" top ten engine, maximum horsepower of 261Ps, peak torque of 400N·m, 8AT gearbox, bringing a smoother driving feeling and more reliable durability.
Under such a combination of power, its acceleration performance is also ahead of its peers, regardless of whether the opponent is a big joint venture or an independent peer.
In the acceleration evaluation carried out by a well-known platform, the Lingyun 400T 000 acceleration score is 6.58 seconds, easily beating the Geely Xingyue L in 8.32 seconds, and the 000 acceleration score in the comparison with the BMW X3 is also better than the BMW X3's 9.33 seconds. It shows the kinetic strength of the mid-level performance SUV as a new benchmark for value.
Handling performance The Elk test score is unique
As an A-level event in the domestic production car performance competition, CCPC not only tests the power of the vehicle, but also the key scoring content of the event. The reason why Xingtu Lingyun was able to win the championship for three consecutive years is that he is also strong in control and performs well. For example, in the Elk test, which is the most representative of handling performance, Xingtu Lingyun became the only SUV model with a score of 85.9km/h, becoming the only SUV model to exceed 80km/h.
Why does Lingyun have such excellent control performance? It is mainly due to its dual strength in hardware and software.
First of all, in terms of hardware, from the perspective of the gearbox, the main automotive component gearbox related to handling, the 8AT gearbox equipped with Xingtu Lingyun is the first to bring a smoother driving feeling, the use of 7.8 speed ratio, flattening and large angle shock absorber design, the shift is smoother, and the torque amplification effect of the low-gear torque converter makes the starting power response smoother and faster. The second is to bring more reliable durability: more than 200+ verification samples have been completed on the bench and the whole vehicle, 25 kinds of monomers and 24-hour uninterrupted tests under severe working conditions such as strength, fatigue, and extreme environments, with a verification mileage of more than 4 million kilometers, and better heat resistance for long-distance high-load climbing.
Secondly, from the perspective of software, Xingtu Lingyun also comes with a class-leading intelligent sharing configuration. The 24.6-inch Galaxy surround true curved screen full LCD instrument panel brings a sense of science and technology, and the air conditioning control panel below is also very convenient.
In addition, Xingtu Lingyun is also equipped with Lion5.0+ Lion Zhiyun vehicle machine system, and is equipped with Qualcomm 7nm, 8-core 8155 cockpit chip to meet the needs of intelligent hardware and complex software, algorithms, and innovative functions of the cockpit system. It provides multi-dimensional intelligent biometric functions and FOTA firmware remote cloud upgrade function, and its 21 ADAS driver assistance functions can greatly improve travel safety and driving convenience. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with features such as deep facial recognition, eye interaction and liveness recognition, while the addition of Lion Melody panoramic sound surround 23 speakers, electric steering wheel heating, 256-color infinitely color-changing ambient lighting, openable panoramic sunroof, and in-cabin air purification system will undoubtedly bring passengers a more advanced and intelligent driving experience.
For example, at the 2023 CCPC public station, the race organizers not only invited nearly 600 industry insiders and public consumers to conduct static evaluations of the participating vehicles, but also combined the regional characteristics of the mountain city of Chongqing to fully demonstrate the performance level of the participating vehicles in the Championship of Cars at the Gymkhana Circuit. In the performance "big test", the new generation of Lingyun crushed a number of "opponents" with dazzling scores with high-performance, stable driving control and ultra-comfortable "Lingyun Road", redefining the value of a new benchmark for mid-level performance SUVs, which perfectly meets the double-sided needs of consumers for external performance driving control and internal comfort at home.
Braking performance Extreme braking is also possible on cliffs
In addition to winning the CCPC production car performance competition for three consecutive years, Xingtu Lingyun also staged a "performance easter egg" for the market and consumers, that is, "cliff limit brake".
In this "impossible" task, Xingtu Lingyun dragged a glider with a tow rope and dragged the plane off in the rugged grassland with a length of only 900 meters, highlighting the core highlight of Lingyun's super power, and then braking steadily at a position 20 meters away from the cliff edge, reflecting the core highlight of the product of safe braking, making Lingyun's ultra-high power performance and 36.5-meter braking distance of 100 kilometers more intuitive.
In addition, Xingtu Lingyun is also known as a 36.5-meter ultra-short braking expert, the key is that it is equipped with parallel bar double-piston floating calipers, front ventilated disc/rear solid disc four-wheel disc brakes, Continental MC6 high-performance wide tires, Bosch 9.3ESP body electronic stability system and other hardware configuration and software systems.
In the pursuit of performance, whether it is hardware or software, Xingtu Lingyun does not hesitate to spend money, especially in terms of braking related to safety, regardless of the cost, just to make the driver comfortable and safe.
Write at the end
As the saying goes: real gold is not afraid of fire, it is gold that will always shine.
Automobile observers believe that the real and hard work of the new generation of Lingyun in terms of power, control and braking, as well as the investment in hardware and software, have created the triple crown of China's production car performance competition. I believe that the market and consumers can also feel this, and will accept and buy this model with a new benchmark for mid-level performance SUVs.
