SAIC-GM-Wuling's new model has been declared, and the car is "Interstellar PLUS".
This is a new energy model that provides plug-in hybrid and pure electric two series of options, and Wuling Xingguang belongs to the same series, some car enthusiasts think that the car is "Xingchen PHEV", this view is wrong; Wuling Xingchen has launched an ordinary hybrid version, its body size is 4594 * 1820 * 1740 mm, wheelbase is 2750 mm, and Wuling Star PLUS body size reaches 4745 * 1890 * 1680 mm, With a wheelbase of 2,800 mm, the former is considered compact, while the latter is expected to be defined as a mid-size car.
There are no significant differences between the all-electric and plug-in hybrid versions in terms of exterior design, except that the all-electric version gets a two-tone bodywork.

It can be seen that Wuling Interstellar PLUS has nothing to do with Xingchen, this car is a new model developed by the new model, so it will not interfere with each other in terms of pricing; or Wuling Xingchen is the product of the early popularization of new energy vehicles, and it is a model spawned by the traditional concept of automobile development, and Wuling Interstellar PLUS is a new energy vehicle product created by the new standard idea, and the pricing of this car will most likely refer to Wuling Xingguang.
Especially if the powertrain doesn't have too many highlights.
Its plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5L hybrid engine, with a maximum power of 78kW, and the electric motor is expected to be an integrated model with E-CVT/1DHT architecture, and the vehicle is still front-wheel drive;
The guide price of Wuling Starlight is as follows:
- Plug-in hybrid version, 88,800, 105,800 yuan
- The pre-sale price of the pure electric version is 109,800 yuan and 119,800 yuan
Its plug-in hybrid version has a certain range of terminal discounts, the standard version can be discounted up to about 10,000 yuan, and the comprehensive discount range of the high-end version is comparable; then the price of Wuling Interstellar Plus, which also belongs to medium-sized cars, is not difficult to predict, and the price of SUV models will be slightly higher than that of sedans of the same level, and it is believed that the final price is likely to be around 10-120,000 yuan, and the starting price is likely to be lower than 100,000 yuan.
The manufacturing cost of the pure electric version is higher than that of the plug-in hybrid version, so the price is expected to be around 11~130,000 yuan.
Forecast:
The Wuling Interstellar PLUS has the potential to become a best-selling car because the Wuling Starlight has already laid the foundation. The average monthly sales of Wuling Starlight can reach tens of thousands of vehicles, and it is very rare to achieve such results in the very competitive 100,000-level car market, and the reason is that the vehicle has a high enough cost performance. Wuling Motors should be deeply aware of this truth, the current stage of car consumers seem to be rational but also emotional, when choosing a vehicle will indeed pay more attention to cost performance rather than brand, but on the same price standard line to choose a car and will take the brand as an important reference for choosing a car; so Wuling will also be very cautious when pricing Interstellar PLUS, the price of this car will bring surprises.
