Recently, the new small SUV under SAIC-GM-Wuling is also another new car with the silver mark series Wuling Xingchi officially launched. It took only more than three months from the application to the release to the launch of the new car, and the pace seemed quite fast, and it can be seen that the product is relatively mature.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car continues the design language of models such as Stars, but adds obviously more sporty elements. For example, the black inverted trapezoidal grille, the smoked headlight group, and the daytime running light source are also more technological. Combined with the large-size trapezoidal grille in the front bumper, the sharp black one and other details, it looks younger and more sporty.
On the side of the car body, the new car has the popular floating roof design, and the details such as the lower window line have escaped the straight style of the previous Wuling silver label models, and the concave and convex lines also show the sporty feeling. Large-sized wheels, red brake calipers, special side skirt decoration and other elements also enhance this attribute.
In terms of body size, the new car's measurements reach 4350/1750/1616mm and the wheelbase is 2550mm, making it a relatively standard small SUV body shape. At the rear part of the car, the D-pillar with a larger inclination angle extends a smaller tail window, while the taillights adopt a flat polygonal structure, and the red upper and white upper surfaces show a good three-dimensional feeling. The rear bumper has a very exaggerated double-sided dual-exhaust exhaust and diffuser decoration for Wuling, which is currently the sportiest model of the brand.
In the interior, the new car adopts the most popular floating large-size LCD screen design concept nowadays. Of course, due to the price positioning, you cannot expect very high-end workmanship and materials, but Wuling still tries to enhance the exquisite feeling through details such as the through-type air outlet, rich layered central control table and LCD digital display instrument panel. In particular, the seats also adopt an integrated sporty shape, and have the same stitching and decorative details of the body, which effectively sets off the sporty feeling.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 99 horsepower and 147 horsepower respectively. They are old friends on Wuling models, and they are still matched with manual and CVT gearboxes. For such a petite body, the latter has a pretty good power response. Of course, you can't expect an SUV of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to have super performance. While still maintaining the brand's cost-effectiveness advantage, the Zero-Wuling Xingchi tried to make at least a sporty feel. It is suitable for consumers who have very limited budgets but want to pursue young fashion. What kind of performance will be in the future be worth looking forward to.
