The Internet era has accelerated the vigorous development of new energy vehicles, and many new forces have taken advantage of the Internet to build momentum and give birth to many Internet celebrity models. In a sense, many independent brands have basically achieved corner overtaking on the new track, including Chery, which has always been low-key. Also as a benchmark for its own brand, Chery rarely builds momentum on the Internet, but Chery, which is affectionately called "science and engineering man" by many users, has become a blockbuster if it does not make a sound, and the world-class ultra-comfortable and long-range smart car Xingtu Star Era ES has made a shocking debut.
Chery Group's high-end brand Xingtu new energy product series "Star Era" is the first brand to take "ultra-comfort" as its gene, and its first pure electric model is the medium and large sedan Star Era ES, which redefines the benchmark of intelligent pure electric vehicles with luxury technology configurations such as Galaxy AI cockpit + gimbal chassis, iFLYTEK Xinghuo voice + NEP intelligent navigation system, aiming to bring users an ultra-comfortable experience that exceeds expectations. With the endorsement of Chery Group's independent export leadership, Xingtu Star Era ES can be said to be "world-class". Under Chery Group's "Yaoguang 2025" strategy, the Xingtu Star Era ES, like its brother model Zhijie S7, adopts the world-class E0X global ultra-comfortable and high-performance electric platform developed by Chery Group with four years of efforts and tens of billions of funds, and has five world-class technologies of "safety, energy consumption, space, intelligent cabin, and intelligent driving". The Xingtu Star Era ES is equipped with an air suspension as standard, with a range of 905km and a 5-minute charge that can run 218km!Today, let's take a look at the true strength of this car.
As a global model, this car is also quite luxurious and atmospheric in terms of vehicle appearance. The whole vehicle adopts the design concept of "Aesthetics of the Wind", which integrates natural aesthetics and avant-garde technology, giving this medium and large pure electric sedan a very attractive side. The closed front face design is one of the iconic features of new energy, and the through-type LED daytime running lights and the blessing of the ISD intelligent interactive light language system make the vehicle have a visual impact and a sense of science and technology. On the side, the fastback coupe body design looks sleek and sporty. With 20-inch sports wheels and hidden door handles, coupled with the design of frameless doors, it creates a noble and elegant temperament of the whole vehicle. Of course, such an atmospheric and beautiful body design is not blindly pleasing to the senses, this car also has CD0With an ultra-low drag coefficient of 205, it is clear that this body design also contributes to the improvement of range and the reduction of wind noise transmitted to the cabin. The tail of the body echoes with the front face, and the taillights composed of 288 LED light rows also adopt a transverse shape to enhance the technology and dynamics of the tail, and the tail is designed with a hidden wind-driving electric rear wing, which can be automatically lifted and lowered according to the speed, and the two gears are adjustable.
At the pre-sale conference of Xingtu Star Era ES, Mr. Jin Xin, executive deputy general manager of Xingtu Marketing Center, once said that "if there are new forces, Star Era will have them". Backed by Chery Group's 26 years of strong car-making heritage, since the establishment of the Star Era, it has taken "born for users, for ultra-comfort" as the brand's original intention and thinking point. Based on the deep insight into the needs of users, Xingtu Xingyuan ES has also set a new benchmark for the creation of the cockpit, and is the first to use the iFLYTEK Xinghuo cognitive model to further improve the intelligent experience of the cockpit.
The cockpit adopts the design style of "meandering water", which has both a simple and fashionable atmosphere and a sense of luxury technology. The center console adopts 82-inch LCD instrument cluster with 15The combination of 6-inch central control screen has a resolution of 25k。With the built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and Lion AI full-scene voice assistant, with the empowerment of iFLYTEK, the in-vehicle system can achieve high-end intelligent functions such as in-depth understanding and knowledge application, emotional and logical response, rapid learning Xi and evolution, and multi-voice recognition. Let the users in the car enjoy a full-time wake-up at any time, and the millisecond-level response can be said to be a highly intelligent experience.
The ultimate pursuit of comfort is the top priority of Xingtu Star Era ES as a new generation of electric vehicles, equipped with high-resilience polyurethane + comfortable soft foam technology Nebula seats, breaking the conventional seat slice layout and using a piece of smooth waterfall line shape more ergonomics, to meet the comfortable size of 5%-95% of the population. At the same time, the 270° wrap-around design makes the side wings of the entire seat full and straight, which can provide a good sense of security, and provide good support for both soft and comfortable touches. In addition, the seat ventilation, heating, massage and seat memory functions are equipped, it is worth mentioning that the ventilation function of this car adopts the blowing method, compared with the general use of suction models, the Xingtu Star Era ES is more comfortable. Not only that, the car also has a segmented panoramic canopy, 23 brand speakers, 256 colors of interior atmosphere lights, front multi-layer soundproof glass, three-zone air conditioning and other configurations, in the standard million-dollar car-level intelligent gimbal air suspension and dynamic suspension damping control CDC high-end configuration, the comfort of the vehicle is improved by an order of magnitude.
In the era of AI artificial intelligence and large models, intelligence is the conspicuous package of this era. In addition to its profound achievements in intelligent cockpit, Xingtu Star Era ES also spares no effort in intelligent driving assistance. The whole vehicle is ahead of its class on the basis of hardware, with as many as 30 high-performance sensing elements composed of lidar, ultrasonic radar and millimeter-wave radar, which can realize high-precision environmental perception in all directions, all times and all scenes. In addition to the EPC intelligent driving computing platform, the two NVIDIA Orin X chips provide 508 TOPS AI computing power, support the iterative optimization of the whole life cycle function, and help Xingtu Star Era ES realize the full version of NEP City city navigation assistance and NEP intelligent parking and other higher-level driving assistance functions.
As a medium and large sedan, the length, width and height of the Xingtu Star Era ES are mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3000mm. For such a large-sized sedan, the ultimate comfort cannot be achieved by simply providing rich comfort equipment in the cabin, so this car has also put a lot of effort into the chassis. The front high-end double wishbone + rear five-link is an independent suspension is already a high-standard treatment, however, Xingtu Star Era ES is not satisfied with this, and also adopts a gimbal chassis system, which is equipped with a million-dollar car-level intelligent air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping and shock absorption system as standard. You must know that this is a 200,000 to 300,000 medium and large pure electric vehicle, empowered by million-level chassis hardware, the air suspension of the whole vehicle can actively adjust the suspension height with the speed of the vehicle, the highest ground clearance can be increased by +50mm, and the body will automatically reduce the body height when driving at high speed. The CDC electromagnetic damping and damping system can adjust the dynamic damping of the suspension and the softness and hardness of the suspension in real time and in milliseconds according to the frequency response of the bumpy road, so as to effectively reduce bumps and roll. In addition, the electromagnetic suspension system can also use perception hardware and intelligent algorithms to pre-scan road conditions to adjust the suspension damping in advance and improve driving comfort when passing through bad road conditions. Mercedes' vaunted magic carpet function also works on this principle.
In terms of power, the Xingtu Star Era ES is available in two versions: single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. The total power of a single motor is 185kw and 230kw respectively, and the fastest break is 56 seconds;The dual-motor version consists of a 238kW electric motor in the front + a 230kW electric motor in the rear, plus a four-wheel drive system layout, and the acceleration per 100 kilometers is only 37 seconds. Range is also the highlight of this car, with a CLTC all-electric range of up to 905km. Thanks to a number of core technologies for energy management, an 800V high-voltage electrical platform and an ultra-low drag coefficient, the ES has a leading low energy consumption, with an energy consumption of only 11 per 100 kilometers under CLTC conditions7kwh。Not only that, but this car is also excellent in terms of energy replenishment efficiency, which can achieve a range of 150km in 5 minutes and charge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes. This car seems to turn the shortcomings of pure electric vehicles and the concerns of users into advantages and selling points, and with a range of 900+ kilometers, it is fully capable of daily travel needs.
As a pure electric vehicle, safety is an inherent topic of this car. The body of the ES is developed from the E0X platform in accordance with the highest safety level of global vehicle regulations, using a cage structure design with high-strength steel accounting for 85%, a B-pillar tensile strength of up to 1500MPa, and a multi-dimensional battery safety protection system, so that all potential safety hazards are eliminated from the body.
From the above incomplete understanding, it is not difficult to see that Xingtu Star Era ES is a model built by Chery Group from the perspective of global strategic significance. In China, from the Shanghai Auto Show to the Chengdu Auto Show, the debut of Xingtu Star Era ES has been praised by the majority of users;In foreign countries, from the Doha International Motor Show in Geneva to Chery Technology Day, Xingtu Star Era ES has gained the attention of global users. Powered by strong product power, the ultra-comfortable Xingtu Star Era ES uses the romance and persistence of a "science and engineering man" to show what a new generation of intelligent pure electric cars should look like, and at the same time set a new benchmark for pure electric intelligent vehicles. It is believed that this "science and engineering man" who is not good at talking will continue to deepen the transformation of high-end new energy vehicles and bring higher quality ultra-comfortable travel options to more users.
