In recent times, the market for large five-seater SUVs has been very lively. The M7 is far ahead, and the ideal L6 is coming out. Now, Chery is also coming to the scene. Just this month, Xingtu Star Era ET was launched. Will the engineering man's big five-seater SUV be popular?
There are 8 models of Xingtu Star Era ET, with two types of power: extended-range electric and pure electric. There are 4WD and 2WD options. The starting price is 189,800 yuan. The price is the eye-catching killer feature for many latecomers. Looking at the price, the TourStar Era ET is indeed attractive. However, whether it can be converted into purchasing power still depends on the power of the product.
The Xingtu Epoch ET comes from Chery E0X's native high-end electric platform. The length/width/height of the car is 4955/1975/1698mm. The body is not particularly long, but it is wide enough. The sides have a full curved surface with a raised waistline. It's sporty.
The front face is fully enclosed. The recessed finish has wrap-around daytime running lights and a transverse grille below. There are high and low beam modules on both sides, and a large area is reserved for interactive lights. It looks quite domineering and has a sense of technology.
At the rear, you can see through-type taillights and headlight appeals. On 262 lamp beads, the cost is down. The actual effect is also good. There is a gloss black bumper underneath. The leather bag is a plus for this car. Compared with many competing products, it has a little more sense of fashion. It feels like Xingtu Star Era ET has requirements for his appearance.
The interior is minimalist in style. The air outlet is also semi-hidden. The physical buttons are barely visible in the front row. The steering wheel is an oval two-spoke design, with a pocket gear on the right rear. The buttons on the steering wheel have also been optimized, leaving only a simple scroll wheel. After the corresponding menu is called, it can be adjusted in four directions with the scroll wheel. It can be said that this is a set of interiors that have fully defected to the tram camp.
The design is innovative. The armrest table is floating, which can be easily moved between the main and auxiliary drivers. Creativity is a plus. There is also practical use. This front row appears more transparent. It's also more flexible to use.
The 15.6-inch 2.5K central control screen is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 new car machine, and the hardware is the first echelon level in the same class of models. The car machine is a lion wisdom cloud system, desktop wallpaper type. It's very close to a normal tablet. The voice function is quite rich. 4-zone recognition, continuous speech and visible speaking are all standard. And there are also a variety of modes including baby mode, pet mode and karaoke mode. Although it is said that it is from a traditional car company, the interconnection configuration has kept up with the level of new forces.
The same goes for the intelligent driving configuration. Models other than the entry-level are equipped with Level 2 assistance systems. Pull down twice to enter the driving assistance. With the blessing of 12 ultrasonic radars and 5 millimeter-wave radars, NOA pilot driving can be realized in high-speed road conditions. Several high-end pure electric models also have a lidar. It is possible to realize NOA on urban roads.
The wheelbase is 3000mm, and the width is 1975mm. The 175cm tall man is in the back row, with more than two fists on his legs and one fist and two fingers on the top of his head. With a large five-seater model, you don't have to worry about the seating space. Although the D-pillar has a sloping design, the headroom in the rear row is still guaranteed.
In terms of power, the pure electric version is available in two models: single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. The cruising range is 540-760 km (CLTC).
The extended-range models are all front-mounted rear-wheel drive models. A 1.5T turbine is used as a range extender. It is a 44.5% thermal efficiency engine for range extender. It has a 195kW rear unit with a maximum output torque of 324Nm. The time to break 100 is 7.8 seconds. A large five-seater SUV that enters the 7-second club, more than enough for the family. It is equipped with CATL's 32kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The all-electric range is 200 km (CLTC). Electricity can also be very stable for city driving.
In terms of chassis, the car uses a front double wishbone rear five-link suspension combination. Some models also have an air suspension that can be adjusted to be soft and hard, as well as high and low. The chassis has also been put down.
Among the new energy vehicles, the market for large five-seater SUVs is quite booming. The first to debut, the M7, performed strongly. The recently launched Ideal L6 also has a number of popular models. Can the newly joined Star Atlas ET be inserted strongly to form a three-legged situation? In terms of hardware configuration, we can see the determination and sincerity of Xingtu. Abundant power options, high-end suspension configuration. The technology configuration is also handy. And he also has a beautiful skin. Compared with the more industrial design of the M7 and L6, the Epoch ET is much younger and more fashionable. It's a tune that young people like. In terms of product strength, Xingtu Star Era ET is still very confident. Of course, marketing is sometimes a metaphysics. Whether this car can break through depends on the right time and place.
