In the increasingly hot environment of the new energy vehicle market, many car companies have made product layouts for the new energy vehicle market, and even in order to meet the differentiated needs of consumers, many car companies will launch pure electric and hybrid versions of one model at the same time. For example, the BYD Song PLUS has DM-i models and EV models, while the Leapmotor C11 and Navy SL03 have pure electric versions and extended range versions. Now, the Wuling Xingguang series has also ushered in a pure electric version of the model under the premise that there is already a hybrid PHEV version of the model, which is also aimed at meeting the travel needs of different users.
The Wuling Starlight PHEV version has not been on the market for a long time, but it is relatively popular in the automobile market, which is enough to be called a hot-selling product, with cumulative sales of more than 50,000 units in less than 4 months on the market, and an average monthly sales of more than 10,000 units. And now Wuling has announced the official picture of Wuling Starlight EV, which also means that the pure electric drive of Wuling Starlight will soon officially meet with us, and the product selection of Wuling Starlight series will be richer, which can also boost the sales growth of Wuling Starlight car series.
It is reported that Wuling Starlight EV was born in Wuling's world's leading electric and intelligent architecture - Tianyu architecture, which integrates leading electrification and intelligent achievements, which can better meet the different travel needs of users. According to the latest news, Wuling Xingguang EV has two endurance versions of 410 and 510, with a pre-sale price of 109,800-119,800 yuan, and the new car will be launched at the 4.25 Beijing Auto Show, which is worth looking forward to.
According to the official picture, the overall design of the Wuling Starlight EV is not much different from the Wuling Starlight PHEV, but there are adjustments in the details. The main changes are concentrated on the front face, with the Wuling Starlight EV having a closed grille, while the Wuling Starlight PHEV has a borderless grille. The closed grille is a relatively common design on pure electric drive models, mainly because pure electric vehicles do not need to reserve the grille for the engine, and also make the visual effect of the front of the car more concise and sci-fi.
The daytime running light strip of the Wuling Starlight EV adopts a split structure, rather than the through-type daytime running lights applied on the Wuling Starlight PHEV. At the same time, the lighting system of the Wuling Starlight EV has also been put into thought, and all models are equipped with LED automatic headlights as standard, as well as unique high beam assist and steering assist functions in the same class. When the headlight cluster is turned on when traveling at night, the illumination width of the light spans 6 lanes, the illumination distance is greater than 170m, and the brightness of the high beam is 15% higher than that of similar cars. The corner lights of the vehicle will automatically light up when turning, and the width of the illumination will be nearly doubled, improving safety during travel.
In terms of body color, the Wuling Starlight EV has also been adjusted, offering Starflame Red, Starsa Gray, Starlight Gold, and Starlight Black
4 "Star" colors. However, in addition, the other designs of the Wuling Starlight EV are not much different from the Wuling Starlight PHEV, with a coupe-style fastback structure on the side, 18-inch star wheels underneath, and star ring taillights at the rear, which is very recognizable. At the same time, the drag coefficient of the new car is as low as 0.228, and the low wind resistance increases the range of the vehicle by 56km, which can effectively reduce the range anxiety during travel.
Looking at the size space, the length, width and height of the Wuling Starlight EV are 4835*1860*1515mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm, which is closer to the size of the B-class car, which also ensures the spacious riding space in the cockpit. When the front seats are moved to the front, the legroom in the rear row is more than 1 meter, and with this space, the rear seat of the Wuling Starlight EV can accommodate tall passengers who are 180 cm tall, and there will be no cramped space and no movement. The front seats can also be flattened back to form two "reclining chairs", which can be used to lie flat in the car during lunch breaks, and the cockpit can be turned into a "camping tent" on weekend trips.
In general, the main adjustment of the Wuling Starlight EV lies in the exterior design, incorporating more sense of technology, and the vehicle shape can still be sought after by young people. In terms of product strength, there is little difference between Wuling Starlight EV and Wuling Starlight PHEV, the interior space is spacious, and it is also equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen + 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel, providing a trunk with a capacity of 540L, which can meet the needs of car owners in all aspects. Judging from the current pre-sale price and product information, it can be predicted that the official launch price of Wuling Starlight EV will most likely be lower than that of Qin Plus EV Glory Edition.
