In recent years, China's development speed has been remarkable. In particular, domestic cars have not only made significant progress in design and performance, but also shown more and more creativity in model naming. Chery Automobile's high-end brand, Xingtu, is one of the leaders. Its model names such as "Chasing the Wind", "Lanyue", "Yaoguang", etc., are full of strong poetry and romantic feelings.
But today, we're going to focus on another model called the "Lingyun". The names of these four models are connected to "Fengyun Moonlight", which means the spirit of continuous improvement and pursuit of excellence.
The wind, the clouds, and the moon are all things in the air, they are somewhere between the real and the virtual, and the same is true of "light". Therefore, the name "Lingyun" itself has the meaning of upward and transcendence, such as "Lingyun's ambition" and "Lingyun's straight up". These names are undoubtedly the embodiment of Chery's lofty expectations and pursuit of the Xingtu brand.
The Lingyun is not a brand new model, it has been on the market for several years. As the pioneering work of the Xingtu brand, it is the first mid-size SUV based on the M3X Mars architecture, and its sales and reputation are good. Recently, a new generation of Xingtu Lingyun was officially launched. General Manager Huang Zhaogen described it as "for high-quality people who understand technology, pursue performance, and are pragmatic and low-key", which also reflects a major feature of the Chery brand: "low-key and technical".
Despite the brand's low profile, the appearance of the new generation of Star Journey is very eye-catching. The grille area is huge, and the horizontal grille strips extend to the sides, showing a strong visual impact. The underside of the body is fitted with chrome trim to add a bit of wildness.
The front design of this car is unforgettable.
The size of Xingtu Lingyun is 4780 1890 1730mm, the wheelbase is 2800mm, and the overall shape is magnificent. The front and rear wheel arches are convex and muscular. There is a spoiler behind the roof and the taillights are a continuous design. The higher-spec model is also equipped with 20-inch wheels and Continental high-performance tyres.
In terms of interior, the new generation of Xingtu Lingyun has been completely renovated. The instrument and central control screen are still dual-screen designs, but the shape has changed, and 24 is adopted6-inch "Galaxy Wrap-around Curved Screen". At the same time, the shift mechanism of the central control part was canceled and the design was changed to a pocket gear.
