With the younger consumer group of car buyers, people's acceptance of new energy vehicles is getting higher and higher, and domestic new energy vehicles also live up to expectations, attracting consumers through high-tech and intelligence. According to the official car sales ranking, the sales of models such as the ideal L series and the M7 are significantly higher than those of traditional fuel vehicles such as BMW X5 and Volkswagen Tourang.
Many people are not familiar with Xingtu Automobile, the car company is backed by Chery Group, is a member of Chery's high-end new energy, and its models are mainly SUVs, so I personally look forward to this Star Era ET (medium and large SUV). There are currently 8 versions of the car on sale, including 3 extended-range versions and 5 pure electric versions, with the price range of the extended-range version ranging from 189,800 yuan to 225,800 yuan, and the pure electric version from 229,800 yuan to 319,800 yuan. It can be seen that the energy types of the Star Era ET are richer than those of competing products of the same level, and users with different needs can also find their own models here.
In terms of appearance, the sides of the Star Era ET canopy are raised upwards to create a full sense of muscle, and the continuous LED daytime running lights are located at the seams of the canopy, effectively stretching the width of the front of the car. The closed grille is nothing new, and the headlights are integrated on both sides of the front surround, which is combined with the light system below to create a strong sense of technology. Subject to price factors, the low-profile version does not give the light language system, but adds silver small ornaments, and the sense of grade is instantly reduced. The wheelbase on the side of the new car is 3 meters, and the intermittent high waistline and the raised side skirt line are combined to create a nice light and shadow effect. The rear of the car is modified by a large number of horizontal elements, presenting a three-dimensional and full image, and the through-type rear taillights are designed to flow water, which can play a role in enriching the visual effect of the tail.
Entering the cockpit of the Star Era ET, the simple and flat lines create a strong "sense of the future", the central armrest area is a peninsula-style design, and the hollow area below can store large luggage items, which is more practical than ordinary models, but the cancellation of the glove box is incomprehensible, and the storage space in the cockpit has been reduced. The special-shaped steering wheel has a moderate thickness, a solid grip, and the four-way adjustment is very compatible with people of different sizes. The floating touch screen in the middle is 15.6 inches, equipped with Xingtu OS intelligent cockpit and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, and the smoothness of the car machine is still very guaranteed. The fly in the ointment is that the full LCD instrument panel that is standard in the whole system is 10.25 inches, which is not large on the car, and only the high-end version has a HUD head-up display, and the extended range version does not have an option, for a large-size model, I think the HUD head-up display is still very necessary.
I am 180cm tall, sitting in the main driver's seat of Star Era ET, with a wide driving vision, and with the non-openable panoramic sunroof at the top, tall people have no sense of depression when they sit in. Keep the front row still, and when you reach the back row, you can still stretch freely, and the leg range of motion is about three fists, even if you are full of adults, you don't feel cramped. Personally, I think that the seat layout of this car is relatively simple, and it would be better if it could be offered in a six-seater or seven-seater version like the Ideal and Wenjie models. The trunk of this car is flat inside, the space utilization rate is high, and after the rear seats are folded down, a large space of 1835L can be formed, and it is not a problem to carry small household appliances.
The Epoch ET range extender version is equipped with a 1.5T range extender + single motor in terms of power, with a maximum power of 195kW and a 000 acceleration time of only 7.8 seconds. I think the Star Era ET has a very stable start, the driving texture is similar to that of a fuel car, suitable for people who change from oil to electricity, the brakes are linear, and the speed can be lowered with a light step, with 360° panoramic images and transparent images and other functions, which can improve people's driving confidence. Thanks to the advantages of the electric motor, the start is fast and silky, and the acceleration in the later stages is also very fast, and the cabin quietness is also guaranteed. The solid chassis tuning can meet the needs of the family, and the steering wheel is equally light, but when you first get started, it is a bit difficult to distinguish between up and down. In terms of range, the CLTC pure electric range of the new car is 200km, and after cooperating with the fuel tank, the comprehensive range can reach 1518km, and cross-city travel will not cause range anxiety.
Summary: The energy types of the Star Era ET are relatively rich, but the seat layout is single, and there is room for improvement in terms of configuration, but in combination with its price, the cost performance is still quite high, so if you just need to buy a car, the Star Era ET can also be considered. As for the performance of the market in the later stage, it depends on how consumers choose.
