Before the article begins, let's put a body size and wheelbase data: 4835*1860*1515mm, wheelbase 2800mm. These numbers may be too boring, but I can tell you bluntly that this size and wheelbase is a very typical mid-size sedan, and the cars that are about this size on the road have nine and a half generations of Honda Accord, eight generations of Camry, Nissan Teana, and Volkswagen Magotan Passat. For domestic cars, models with high attention such as Roewe D7 and BYD Han are basically in this size range.
The cars I listed above, except for the Roewe D7, which is a car with a starting price of more than 120,000, the others are basically 170,000-level cars, no matter from any angle, a car of this size cannot be cheap. However, the emergence of Wuling Starlight directly broke all people's perceptions of B-class sedans.
Yes, the above set of data is the size of Wuling Starlight. And the pre-sale price of this car is only 9380,000. Moreover, it is also a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Wuling Xingguang This car has been popular all over the country since the announcement of the pre-sale price, in fact, the biggest selling point of this car, like Wuling's previous popular cars, is also high to the sky. And the Starlight car is not only "cheap and big" This basic cost performance, it even at such a low **, but also achieved quite good intelligence and hardware performance in all aspects.
First of all, look at **, according to the current pre-sale price information, Starlight is divided into plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions, pure electric has not yet announced the pre-sale price, but the pre-sale price of plug-in hybrid is already available, two versions, the pre-sale price is 9380,000 and 10980,000. There are differences between the two versions in terms of power parameters and some configurations.
There is no difference in the basic powertrain parameters, 106 hp 1A plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 5L engine + a single-speed DHT gearbox + a single motor with 177 horsepower, and a low-end configuration is equipped with 95-degree battery, pure electric range of 70 kilometers, high configuration equipped with 205 kWh battery, pure electric range of 150 km. It's a very safe and reasonable division. In addition, the low configuration does not support fast charging, and the car machine does not have a navigation system, which is for 9The ultra-low price of 380,000 is a sacrifice.
And in addition to these, the Wuling Starlight also gives a pretty good-looking look, as well as the front and rear two rows of seats, although all black, with fairly good cushion comfort, as well as a decent amount of rear legroom. According to my experience at the auto show, the rear row of the Starlight is really about the same as the spaciousness of the Japanese B-segment car.
So the power system is okay, the battery life is not bad, the space is enough, and the appearance is good-looking, on the basis of all this, you will be given a 9The pre-sale price of 380,000 yuan, really, what more bicycles!
Under normal circumstances, the pre-sale price of a new car must be higher than the real launch price, this is because the car company wants to anchor a higher ** first, and finally there will be a wave of surprises when it goes on sale, so usually we default that the pre-sale price of a new car must be higher than the official price.
But we have different opinions about the Starlight car, and we tend to think that the 9380,000 ** is the final sales guide price of this car. The reason is actually very simple, no matter how strong Wuling's cost control ability is, after all, this is a B-class sedan with a length of nearly 4.9 meters, equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, and the cost of the car itself is there, and there is really not much room for operation. In other words, 9380,000 to sell this**, which is enough to the limit.
Of course, we can't rule out that Wuling will announce a ratio of 9 at the official new car launch38 lower official launch price, but in any case, even if there is such a lower official sale**, we think this ** will only be 8990,000. In other words, 9The pre-sale price of 380,000 yuan basically does not have much room for price adjustment, and it is likely that there will not be too many discounts for this car in the future.
As for the competitors? Theoretically, Starlight's biggest competitor is the Roewe D7, but compared with the D7, the gap is quite large. According to current information, the D7 DMH starts at 12180,000 up, but even if Starlight is sold at the pre-sale price, 9380,000 and 12There is also a considerable gap of 180,000.
So strictly speaking, Starlight and D7 are not direct competitors. In the price range of more than 90,000 yuan, Starlight's closest competitor is Qiyuan A05, however, A05 is a compact plug-in hybrid sedan, which is smaller than Starlight.
So this is the terrible thing about Wuling, in terms of product power, Starlight is not the opponent of Roewe D7 and other models, in other aspects such as intelligence, Starlight is not as good as the same size of the 120,000 domestic plug-in hybrid car opponent, but its ** itself is strong enough. For less than 100,000, buying a plug-in hybrid B-class sedan is simply a matter of conversation before 2023.
Now that Wuling has done it, the pressure is also coming to other car companies immediately, in the face of such amazing pricing, with or not with?
