Brothers and sisters, do you know that the second model of Chery Xingtu Star Era and the first SUV, Star Era ET is here. Listening to the name, it's very sci-fi, isn't it? Star Era ET is positioned as a medium and large SUV, which can be pure electric or extended range, and has given a pre-sale price, and will launch 8 configurations, with a pre-sale price range of 199,000-329,000 yuan. In this article, we will talk about this new car and see if it is worth looking forward to?
New car highlights:
In terms of appearance, the Star Era ET has taken a similar design route to the Star Era ES, with a closed front end, LED daytime running lights along the edge of the engine cover, and LED light screens on both sides of the front bumper, which is full of science and technology. The higher-spec models are also equipped with a lidar with a probe located in the center of the roof. Coming to the rear of the car, the Star Era ET adopts a through-type taillight design, and the rear bumper adopts a large area of gloss black. The new car is positioned as a medium and large SUV, with a body length of 4955mm and a wheelbase of just 3 meters.
In terms of interior design, the Star Era ET also adopts a simple style, but the interior materials are more elegant, with a large number of marble slabs, real wood decorations, Microfiber microfiber and other materials.
In front of the driver is a flush steering wheel, in front of which is a floating LCD instrument screen, and the size of the central control screen is not small, reaching 15.6 inches. The high-spec model also has a 23-speaker sound system.
Here's the point. The Epoch ET will provide two power options, pure electric and extended range, of which the extended range power is based on the 400V electrical architecture, which is combined by a 1.5T range extender and a rear motor, the battery pack is CATL lithium iron phosphate, with a capacity of 32kWh, and the CLTC pure electric range is 200km, with a comprehensive range of more than 1500km, which is very interesting.
The pure electric power model is based on the 800V ultra-high voltage electrical architecture, which is divided into single motor and dual motor four-wheel drive, of which the maximum power of a single motor is 230kW, the peak torque is 425N.m, and the dual motor is divided into two kinds of performance according to the configuration, the difference is in the front motor, of which the Pro four-wheel drive version of the dual-motor version of the model has a maximum power of 123kW in the front motor, and the maximum power of the rear motor is 230kW, and the maximum power of the front motor in the Ultra four-wheel drive version of the dual-motor model is 183kW, and the maximum power of the rear motor is 230kW. There are two types of battery capacities, 77 kWh and 100 kWh, and the CLTC all-electric range is 540 km, 655 km, and 760 km, respectively.
Competitive Analysis:
From the perspective of parameters and configuration, the competitiveness of the Epoch ET is still quite high, especially in terms of power, the Epoch brand summarized the disadvantages of the Epoch ES only pure electric system, and this time the range extender system was directly released on the Epoch ET, which is from the perspective of competitiveness, the Epoch ET is powerful.
From the perspective of competitors, each strength is not bad. There are the Ideal L7, the M7 and even the Ideal L8, which is a little more expensive. Judging from the current pre-sale price given by Star Era ET, it is still very powerful if Xingtu can put the brand marketing operation in place, after all, with the blessing of extended range power, most consumers are still very easy to accept, and will not be disturbed by the network blowing, and it can be seen from the sales volume that the results of M7, Ideal L7 and L8 are not bad. Therefore, Master Jiao believes that the future of Xingtu Star Era ET range extension power is also promising, let's wait and see.
