Recently, Chery's high-end brand Xingtu launched the Star Era ES Guochao Edition model, priced at 19880,000 yuan. As a medium and large pure electric car, this price has also come directly to the hinterland of Geely Galaxy E8. The Epoch ES was officially launched as early as December 20, 2023, when a total of 5 models were launched, with a price range of 2258-33.980,000 yuan, benchmarking Zhijie S7. Now Xingtu has launched the Star Era ES Guochao Edition model, and the price has been further lowered, falling below 200,000 yuan to 19880,000 yuan. The reduction in the price is bound to further compress the cost, so how competitive is the Star Era ES Guochao Edition?Is it worth buying?
First of all, compared with the original entry-level model of the Star Era ES, that is, the price is 22The 580,000 yuan AIR standard endurance version model, the Star Era ES Guochao version model has removed the air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, which has brought about a first-class decline. However, the body height of the Guochao version model is 1489mm, which is 22mm higher than the 1467mm height of the air standard range model. In addition to these, the configuration of the Guochao version of the model and the Air standard endurance version of the model is the same in other aspects, such as the power parameters of the two have not changed, and they are also not based on the 800V high-voltage platform, and the cruising range is also 550km, and the intelligent configuration is also the same.
So, is it worth buying the Star Era ES Guochao Edition model without air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system?We might as well compare the 665km Starship Voyage Edition model of the Galaxy E8, which is also a medium and large pure electric car, to see how competitive the Star Era ES Guochao Edition model is
The Galaxy E8 is priced at $19 for the 665km Starship Voyage Edition880,000 yuan (hereinafter referred to as Galaxy E8), which is exactly the same as the price of the Star Era ES Guochao Edition model (hereinafter referred to as the Star Era ES), so what are the differences between these two cars in terms of product power?
The first is the difference in range, the range of the Galaxy E8 is 665km, while the range of the Star Era ES is 550km, which is 115km less. It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy E8 is also equipped with a heat pump air conditioner, which can further improve the cruising range in daily cars. In addition, it only takes 28 minutes to charge the Galaxy E8 from 10% to 80%, while the Star Era ES takes 28 to charge from 30% to 80%.2 minutes, obviously the Galaxy E8 has a faster replenishment time.
In terms of performance, the Galaxy E8 has a 0-100 acceleration time of 595 seconds, while the 000 acceleration time of the Star Era ES is only 74 seconds. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Galaxy E8 is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the front suspension of the Star Era ES is a high-end double wishbone independent suspension.
In terms of body size, the length of the Galaxy E8 has reached 5010mm, which is longer than the 4945mm length of the Star Era ES, but the Star Era ES is better than the Galaxy E8 in terms of width, height and wheelbase. In particular, the wheelbase of the Galaxy E8 is only 2925mm, which is far lower than the 3000mm wheelbase of the Star Era ES.
Galaxy E8
Star Era ES may be precisely because the Galaxy E8 is long enough, so the Galaxy E8 has a 53L front trunk, on the contrary, Star Era ES does not have a front trunk.
The Galaxy E8 and Star Era ES drive modes are both rear-mounted rear-wheel drive, while the rear brake of Galaxy E8 is a ventilated disc type, while the rear brake of Star Era ES is a disc type without ventilation function.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Galaxy E8Compared with Star EraES, there are mainly more anti-rollover systems, Gaode maps, 45-inch central control screen, Qualcomm 8295 chips, AR-HUD head-up display, lumbar support for the main driver's seat, heating and ventilation of the front seats, 12 speakers, 256 colors of ambient lights and other configurations.
Galaxy E8 Star Era ES compared with Galaxy E8 has more UWB digital key, keyless entry of the whole car, front double-layer soundproof glass, exterior mirror memory function, Apple CarPlay, rear LCD screen, leather steering wheel, 4-way height adjustment of the main driver's seat, 2-way height adjustment of the co-pilot's seat, car air purifier and other configurations.
Star Era ES On the whole, Star Era ES has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of intelligent configuration compared with Galaxy E8, it depends on which model you prefer to have more configurations. Secondly, in terms of space comparison, the Star Era ES and the Galaxy E8 are also comparable, the Galaxy E8 body is longer, and the Star Era ES wheelbase is more advantageous. Finally, there is the comparison of endurance and performance,GalaxyE8Longer battery life,Faster charging time,Stronger performance,And the Star Era ES Guochao Edition also removes the air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system,Then it is difficult to parry in the face of the galaxyE8。
So in my opinion, the Star Era ES launched the national tide version of the model, purely to lower the price, the sincerity is not great, compared with the same level and price models in the model product power, there is no special advantage, if it were you, how would you choose?
