On July 27, the 2025 Xingtu Lingyun off-road performance experience camp ended successfully in the mountain city of Chongqing. Media and riders from all over the country witnessed the Jixian off-road challenge of Xingtu Lingyun in Chongqing Forest Off-road Park, showing strong off-road performance. With extreme power and advanced technology, Xingtu Lingyun subverts the public's perception of urban SUVjixian off-road performance, and perfectly interprets the hardcore quality of a real "intermediate SUV performance benchmark".
As the first mid-size SUV built by the M3X Mars architecture, Xingtu Lingyun has accumulated more than 100,000 high-end users around the world since its launch in 2019. The 2025 Xingtu Lingyun has achieved 23 functional technology evolution in the four major areas of exterior and interior, performance driving control, luxury and comfort, and intelligent safety, which can not only meet the practicality and comfort of urban SUVs, but also have certain off-road performance, and reshape the new jixian of intermediate SUV performance benchmarks. And this time Chongqing test drive off-road officially sounded the rallying cry of "battlefield soldiers".
Excellent driving performance and excellent intelligent driving
In the test drive session of urban roads, the drivers deeply experienced the driving control strength of Xingtu Lingyun in a way that was close to the real commuting scene of users. The 2025 Xingtu Lingyun provides two power combinations of 1.6T+7DCT and 2.0T+8AT to meet the needs of different users. Among them, the 1.6T engine has a high horsepower of 201 hp and a peak torque of 300N·m, and is equipped with the same 7DCT transmission of BMW, which can take into account excellent power performance and fuel economy. The 2.0T engine has a high horsepower of 261 hp and a peak torque of 400N·m, and is equipped with Chery's full-stack self-developed 8AT gearbox, which is in place in terms of shift smoothness. The 2025 Xingtu Lingyun has optimized the driving performance, and the models above the 1.6T Xingyao Edition have added paddle shifters to further improve the driving pleasure; At the same time, the 2.0T Xingzun version and above models are equipped with 8AT gearboxes and apply a new control program, which makes the driving experience more silky and smooth, and almost does not feel the action of upshifting and downshifting. The 2025 Xingtu Lingyun's 400T star nuclear power performance is strong, stepping on the accelerator deeply on the highway, it can output 400N.m peak torque at 1750 rpm, and the acceleration is as low as 6.58s per 100 kilometers, and overtaking acceleration is not a problem.
In addition to the hard-core power performance, the chassis performance of Xingtu Lingyun is excellent enough, the road sense is clear, and the support for the body is very stable. When winding up the mountain, the heavy chassis suspension makes people very steady, whether it is a mountain split or an emergency lane change, the suspension can provide enough support. In addition, the NVH performance of the 2025 Lingyun far exceeds that of its peers, and it is equipped with a double-layer laminated silent glass + ANC active noise reduction system, which greatly reduces road and engine noise and provides a quiet and comfortable driving space. "A budget of 150,000 yuan can buy a product with such high mechanical quality, which is simply an industrial miracle of Chinese automobiles." In addition to the experience, a senior media person said.
While the power is hearty and the driving pleasure is full, the 2025 Xingtu Lingyun also brings a new look and feel from the inside to the outside: the new Sky Blue car color and the new Muguang Orange interior color, with NAPPA textured leather seats, and the roof is made of cloud velvet suede material with a delicate and comfortable touch, doubling the luxurious atmosphere from the outside to the inside. In terms of intelligent technology, the newly upgraded Lion5.0 male lion intelligent cloud system can help you complete common actions such as adjusting temperature, opening the sunroof, navigation, and playing music. In addition, Huawei's HiCar 4.0 is also integrated into the in-vehicle system, taking the in-vehicle intelligent experience to a further level. In the field of intelligent driving, the 2025 Xingtu Lingyun is equipped with 15 high-precision sensors, 21 ADAS assisted driving functions and 540° panoramic images as standard, which is of great benefit to Chongqing, where urban road conditions are more complex.
Hard core power to conquer jixian off-road challenges
The Jixian off-road project that challenged Chongqing Forest Cross-Country Park showed a breakthrough and upward competitive spirit, which is also highly consistent with the user concept of Xingtu Lingyun. Next, Xingtu Lingyun started Jixian off-road, facing off-road subjects such as shell craters, wading roads, 48° humps, cross axles, and hump roads.
Subject 1: Successfully summit the 48° hump
Once Xingtu Lingyun successfully challenged the 37.1° Snow Ruyi Jixian steep slope, showing strong climbing ability. The hump slope in front of you is 26 meters high, with a slope of 48 degrees and a slope length of 105 meters, known as the "Chinese Diyi hump" with Zuigao difficulty.
At the beginning of the challenge, the vehicle is adjusted to off-road mode, low-torque four-wheel drive forward, the 400T star nuclear power can release 400Nm of peak torque at 1750 rpm, as the engine roars, the vehicle begins to climb slowly, the slippery road surface and soft dirt challenge the grip of the vehicle. The BENTELER Master chassis brings excellent mechanical quality, easily rushes to the half-slope, Continental high-performance wide tires have excellent grip, and in the sprint stage, BorgWarner's all-wheel drive intelligent system quickly switches between driving modes in 0.07S.
It's easy to go uphill and hard to go downhill. Downhill also tests the rigidity of the vehicle and the braking system, many urban SUV downhill body will make abnormal noise, Xingtu Lingyun vehicle is built with a cage body, the amount of high-strength steel in the body-in-white accounts for 85%, there is no abnormal sound in the downhill process, the soft downhill road is particularly easy to slip, turn on the HDC steep slope descent system, release the brakes, and the vehicle will drive steadily downward, and the challenge will be successful.
Module 2: Challenge 450mm wading path
The 20-inch Continental high-performance wide tires and the Bosch 9.3ESP body electronic stability system work together to keep the vehicle on the "line" to make up for the lack of grip in muddy puddles.
In addition, on muddy and slippery roads, the Xingtu Lingyun steering wheel is accurate, the rear of the car has strong follow-up, and the 540° transparent chassis can pay attention to the road conditions in real time.
Module 3: Challenging the off-road track
In the next challenge subjects, including shell craters, cross axles, gravel roads and other off-road track subjects, thanks to the M3X Mars architecture and master chassis tuning, Xingtu Lingyun also showed considerable professional standards and completed the challenges one after another.
As an SUV positioned for urban commuting, Xingtu Lingyun does not have a professional off-road hardcore configuration, but in the actual off-road challenge, it bursts out with the strength of a professional off-road SUV, which is a miracle. The Jixian cross-country ability and strong passability shown by Xingtu Lingyun in the fierce challenge surprised the coaches on the scene again and again, and praised it as not inferior to the hard-core off-road Prado.
The Way of the Clouds Off-road city SUV
It is no coincidence that Xingtu Lingyun successfully completed the jixian off-road challenge, which is mainly due to its high-performance architecture based on shijieji - M3X Mars architecture empowerment, Benteler master chassis tuning and excellent mechanical quality comparable to German luxury cars, all-terrain four-wheel drive system and surface zui strong 2.0T power system work together to achieve the ultimate off-road performance of Xingtu Lingyun.
In this off-road performance experience camp, the 2025 Xingtu Lingyun shows the professionalism and solid quality comparable to that of hard-core off-road, and perfectly interprets the quality of an "off-road urban SUV". This ultimate exploration of performance once again proves the values of Xingtu Auto: always adhere to the hard-core performance of products as the cornerstone, convey brand image and brand value to consumers, and create a good reputation. It is believed that in the new round of upward trend of Chinese brand automobiles, Xingtu Automobile will once again stand at the top of the times, bringing consumers a more exciting and diversified new life of car use.
