2023 is the time to make a summary, and there are a variety of new cars launched this year, but the most gratifying sedan for the author is the Wuling Starlight, which was only recently launched.
Reference: Li Xunlei, a well-known economist, said that about 9 people have a monthly income of less than 2,000 yuan6.4 billion.
By the end of 2023, the number of cars is expected to be about 3300 million vehicles, and if you want to further expand the car market, you should make more people afford to buy carsAlthough there are indeed quite low scooters, such as Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, Chery QQ ice cream, Geely Panda and Leap T03 with a starting price of only about 30,000 yuan, the practicality of these mini cars is still slightly worse. The ideal family transportation model should be a car or SUV with sufficient space, but the ** of these cars will be higher, but the comprehensive car consumption unit is based on the objective factors of the family, as well as the flexible car installment purchase plan, the car in the range of 5 100,000 yuan will also be a good choice.
And in the sedan lineup in this ** band, the most worthy interpretation in 2023 is Wuling Starlight.
The Wuling Starlight is currently released in two plug-in hybrid versions, and the standard version is priced at 8880,000 yuan, the price of the advanced version is 10580,000 yuan.
In the ** range of 8 110,000 yuan, the options used to be mainly fuel vehicles;For example, the well-known Geely Binrui, Changan Yidong, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, Chery Arrizo 8 and other domestic cars, followed by joint venture brands such as Volkswagen Lavida, Bora, Buick Veran, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sylphy, Honda Accord, etc.
Although the fuel consumption of these cars is already low in the category of fuel vehicles, it will still be a large expense for ordinary familiesIt would be better if it could be further reduced through the upgrade of drive technology, so BYD launched the Qin Plus DM-i, which is the first plug-in hybrid sedan to lower the starting price to less than 100,000 yuan.
Plug-in hybrid cars have pure electric driving mode and hybrid driving mode, pure electric mode is charging driving mode, and the commuting cost can be as low as 0About 1 yuan, much lower than fuel-powered cars;The fuel consumption of the hybrid mode can also be as low as 5L 100km, which is lower than that of other fuel vehicles in the same class. Such a sedan is obviously more suitable for family use, so the Qin PLUS DM-i naturally became a bestseller. Subsequently, Changan Automobile also followed up with a starting price of 8The 990,000 yuan Kaizen A05 has an overall level comparable to it, and the cost performance is also very high.
However, both cars are compact sedans, and the objective evaluation of the configuration level and interior material standards of the low-spec version is also decent, and the main highlight is the drive technology.
The Wuling Starlight is a medium-sized car, with a body size of 4835 * 1860 * 1515 mm and a wheelbase of 2800 mmAnd the configuration level of the vehicle, the sense of interior design and the standard of materials also have some advantages, this ** are real pictures, come and feel it.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles should focus on pure electric range and minimum charge fuel consumption, and the pure electric mileage standards of the two versions of Wuling Starlight are as follows.
Standard version, WLTC 50km, CLTC 70km
The advanced version has a WLTC 105 km and a CLTC 150 km
The guide price is only 8The advanced version of 880,000 yuan can also meet the needs of daily commuting, and the CLTC test standard is equivalent to the energy consumption of urban road commuting, which means that if Wuling Starlight is used as a daily commute, the pure electric mode can travel up to nearly 70 kilometers.
Most people have a daily commute of no more than 30 or 50 kilometers, so as long as you plan your charging time, you can barely use gasAnd the purchase of plug-in hybrid or pure electric vehicles will also come with a small charging pile, as long as there are parking conditions can be charged at home, after the purchase of the car can also apply for a new energy vehicle special charging meter, after 10 o'clock at night charging unit price can be as low as 0 per kilowatt-hourAbout 3 yuan.
The WLTC working condition is equivalent to the comprehensive road condition range, including medium and low-speed roads and highways, but generally running at high speed is running long distances, and hybrid mode is always used when running long distances.
At this time, we need to pay attention to fuel consumption, and the lowest charged fuel consumption of Wuling Starlight is. The 09L 100km corresponds to the standard version and the advanced version, which is currently the highest level standard among plug-in hybrid cars in the same price range.
Wuling Starlight adopts 1The 5-liter (liter) naturally aspirated engine is a dedicated hybrid engine with an electric motor integrated into a 1DHT (dedicated hybrid transmission).This is a hybrid architecture similar to the e-CVT, with a range-extender and hybrid operation mode, which is characterized by sufficient fuel efficiency. The so-called "minimum charge fuel consumption" refers to the fuel consumption at the lowest capacity of the simulated power battery pack, or understood as the fuel consumption of the standard hybrid mode, which can achieve a minimum fuel consumption of 398 liters is indeed enough fuel efficient.
However, the most important thing is the ride performance, 1DHT is the direct drive mode, and the engine in the hybrid mode only adjusts the power at the speed, which has bypassed the "shifting" concept of the traditional gearboxWithout shifting gears, acceleration and deceleration can be absolutely smooth, and the driving experience will actually be smoother than that of high-end fuel vehicles, of course, Qin PLUS DM-i and Kaizen A05 are also similar hybrid architectures, which can be very smooth.
It's just that the Wuling Starlight has the most space among the three cars, and the design sense is more sporty, and the author thinks that this mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan that can be affordable for ordinary families is a well-deserved car of the year in 2023.
