There was no grand offline press conference, and Wuling's first sedan, Wuling Starlight, was released in the most unpretentious way.
The starting price is only 88,008!
It's 1000 pieces cheaper than the Qin Plus Champion Edition, which has just been reduced in price.
That's awesome. After all, the new energy market of around 100,000 has always been BYD's "big treasury" thief to make money.
Qin Plus, Yuan Pro, Seagull, Dolphin, a bunch of models are squeezed into the price range of 8 to 12 W, and there are no comparable opponents. This time, Wuling is out of the horse, I am afraid that BYD can be urged to make concessions and reduce prices.
First of all, looking at a car is like looking at people, it starts with appearance, and finally it doesn't matter what it is.
Anyway, in the personal opinion of the neck brother,Starlight is probably the best-looking sedan currently under 10W, except for the Mazda 3
This big slip back, this through-type front and rear taillights, plus the front face is also more fierce.
I can't talk about the sporty appearance, but at least at first glance, it doesn't look like a messy car at first glance.
And compared to its strongest competitor: BYD Qin Plus Champion Edition,Starlight's three-electric parameters are also not weak
Let's compare the lowest configuration of these two cars, in terms of motor power, the maximum power of the Starlight is 130 kW and the maximum torque is 320 N·m, which is not bad with the 132 kW and 316 N·m of the Qin Plus.
And what about the battery, Starlight has 95 kWh, Qin plus only 832 degrees, but when it comes to the actual range, it should actually be about the same.
For this reason, we found their more solid WLTC pure electric range (which is different from the CLTC that automatically folds 7 off), Starlight 50 km, Qin Plus 46 km, and basically the same level.
And to say that the biggest difference between the parameters of these two cars is actually in the body size.
Starlight wins in length, width, height, and wheelbase. Especially the wheelbase, which is a full 7 centimeters more than the Qin Plus, is still very cheap when it comes to the actual riding experience in the rear.
After all, buying it will be the only car in the family in most cases, and people often need to sit in the back, so I personally **, space will be the biggest advantage of Starlight in the future.
And if you are also a little pursuing chassis control outside of the home, then the Starlight has more rear axle independent suspension, high configuration and 18-inch wheels than Qin, which not only has a higher keyboard value, but also has a little more modification potential.
Oh yes, Wuling Starlight also comes standard with automatic wipers with rain sensing this time, which is a high-end configuration that even Xpeng P7 top owners can't ask for.
But having said so much, Starlight is the most grassy for me because of two other points: one is that the skylight has been canceled in the whole system.
Wait, isn't canceling the sunroof a reduction, why do people still like it?
But you think, if the sunroof is sealed, it won't be so sunny in the summer, and it can save about 1,000 yuan in hardware costs. Maybe the 1k that Starlight is cheaper than Qin Plus was cut out from here.
As for the other point, it is that Starlight is not currently driving as much like a ride-hailing service (although this may only be temporary).
After all, if you look at the starlight car, it has a lot of space, low fuel consumption, is cheap, and it is still a car, which is really suitable for online car-hailing.
So listen to my advice: don't buy white.
However, this car is not completely faultless.
For example, many netizens have reported that the plastic feeling of its interior is relatively strong. Brother Neck also sat in at the Guangzhou Auto Show to see it, and there are indeed a lot of hard plastic parts in the car, whether you choose black interior or brown interior, it may not look too advanced.
I have to be fair to this: at this price, it is a little difficult for car companies to want the texture of the interior. Personally, I feel that as long as the interior is simple and atmospheric enough, it is OK.
There is also a slight difference in the technology configuration of the low-profile models: there is no voice interaction, and there is no ** navigation, ** is equal to most of the Internet of Vehicles functions, which have been emasculated in the low configuration.
But it's still the same sentence: under the ** of 80,000, given a long wheelbase of 2.8 meters, car companies will definitely have to pick some costs back elsewhere. As for which is more critical, space or intelligence, it depends on individual trade-offs.
You see the famous Leiling, Sylphy and Corolla "three big mothers on the road" on the joint venture car are not good on technology, they can't be driven by pure electricity, the power is small, the control is poor, and it is very unpleasant to drive. In terms of configuration, the configuration is not enough, the intelligence is almost 0, and the rear air conditioning and leather seats have to be added to the cost.
Now more than 80,000 can buy products like Starlight and Qin Plus, so everyone is secretly having fun.
In fact, the current situation of Starlight and Qin plus immortal fighting, I feel a bit similar to the previous Wuling Binguo vs. BYD Seagull.
I want to be Binguo and the seagull at the beginning, spelling the configuration, rolling **, and playing particularly fiercely. But in the end, both cars were alive and well: the Seagull sold 44,000 units in NovemberBinguo is not bad, I bought 36,000 units, which belongs to mutual achievement.
And it was the A0-class cars of the joint venture brand that really hurt. For example, the Honda Fit has recently sold only 4,759 units per month, and the Volkswagen Polo is even worse, with 3,460 units.
In a similar situation, if you change to Starlight and Qin Plus, the result is likely to be similar.
There was only one Qin Zai before, and the "Three Big Mothers on the Road" could barely support sales by reducing prices. Now that Starlight is also coming, the two will roll up another roll and reduce the price, and the last basic plate of Japanese cars will be dangerous.
