"Masks", "Core Shortage", "High Temperature" and "Power Limits". 2022 is definitely not a good year for the automotive industry, but this does not mean that car brands will tighten the launch of new cars. On the contrary, a considerable majority of the new cars launched this year are landmark good cars. Wuling Star Hybrid Edition is one of the most worth mentioning.
low price, fuel-efficient, practical and comfortable. The "people's hybrid SUV" is veritable
Wuling Auto There is a classic Sloan that is so popular that it is popular - what people need, Wuling will make whatever they want. So what is the intention of working-class families in China to buy cars? It’s very simple. Buy a car that is cheap enough, fuel-efficient, practical, comfortable and can adapt to multiple scenarios with as little as possible to meet all the travel needs of a family of five. Let’s take a look at how Wuling Star Hybrid Edition performs in this regard.
First of all, Wuling Star Hybrid Edition is a standard compact SUV with a length of 4594mm, a width of 1820mm and a height of 1740mm, which is suitable for the urban travel of the three generations of five families and long-distance self-driving. Moreover, its 2750mm wheelbase is also more advantageous in models of the same level, and the spacious space it creates undoubtedly creates a comfortable riding experience for the whole family.
Secondly, the Wuling Star Hybrid Edition is equipped with a series-parallel oil-electric hybrid system with P1 and P3 motors. The WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.7L, while the acceleration time of 000 is only 7.8 seconds. The power is fast and the driving is smooth. The fuel expenses are at least 1/3 of the fuel vehicles of the same level, which is economical, practical and comfortable. In addition, compared with the same-class fuel models that mostly use dual-clutch transmission , the reliability of their power system is likely to be higher. What’s more important is that the Wuling Star Hybrid Edition is priced enough, with the two models being 99,800 yuan and 109,800 yuan respectively. It is the only compact hybrid SUV on the market that will increase its price to less than 100,000 yuan. The starting price of compact hybrid SUVs of other brands, whether plug-in hybrid or oil-electric hybrid, is basically about 140,000 yuan. It can be seen that Wuling Star Hybrid Edition truly integrates low-cost, fuel-efficient, practical and comfortable, and is worthy of being the "people's hybrid SUV".
allows Wuling to enter the popular market segment, and at the same time enhances the brand's technical image
Today, China has long passed the era when entrepreneurship can get rich by running more vans. If a car company wants to develop rapidly, it has to make efforts in the mainstream family car market. Although "Wuling God Car" has previously had a very high brand recognition of and its brand reputation is not bad, it has never been able to get rid of the image of a micro-face professional user that has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.
In fact, many people call Wuling a "magic car" and it also has some ridiculous intentions, so Wuling has no advantage in the mainstream family car field, which also hinders its long-term development. Even SAIC-GM-Wuling itself understands this truth, and has freed up the Baojun brand to compete in the passenger car market, allowing Wuling to upgrade the silver label and constantly try to break through this "brand image isolation wall", but has never achieved any significant results. The reason is that Wuling has never had a technology that can support it in the core market of family cars to compete with mainstream brands.
Wuling Star Hybrid Edition has achieved a breakthrough, and its price is just within the range of 100,000-150,000 yuan, which is the most concentrated domestic car purchase budget. Its model classification is also a compact SUV that domestic people are very passionate about. In addition, this model is also supported by the hottest label of hybrid, which contributes to its competitiveness and makes it the only one in the market. It can be said that it has entered the most core market range of domestic family car purchases in one fell swoop.
In addition, the Wuling Star Hybrid Edition series and parallel hybrid system are driven by motors in most cases. The smooth driving and system reliability are undoubtedly more advantageous than those fuel vehicles with more dual-clutch gearboxes at the same level. It is highly likely that Wuling will once again win the reputation of users, thus laying its technical image in the minds of mainstream family car users and empowering its subsequent development.
raises the price of hybrid vehicle to less than 100,000, which also has a positive effect on the progress of the industry
Another thing that needs to be specifically stated is that Wuling Star Hybrid Edition also has a positive driving effect on the entire automotive industry. After all, the previous hybrid vehicles were not cheap, especially compact hybrid SUV models, with only a handful of them selling for less than 140,000 yuan. Just when everyone thought that the cost of hybrid vehicles was too high and it was impossible to increase the level of 100,000 yuan so that the general public could enjoy energy-saving and comfortable travel, Wuling made a strong move, setting a standard and example for the entire automobile industry. Then in the future, when facing a hybrid car, people will be able to understand the price of it.
Of course, the arrival of Wuling Star Hybrid Edition will also play a role in spurring other car companies' brands from the side, allowing them to rack their brains to improve their own technical level, optimize their own parts supply system, and lower the cost and price of their own products to enhance competitiveness, rather than indulging in skin-removing shells all day long, taking some sensational car names to attract attention, and praising the smart functions of their own models. Only in this way can the automobile industry be expected to usher in rapid development and prosperity again.
Conclusion: has positive significance and value for consumer interests, brand itself, and industry development. The above is why I think the Wuling Star Hybrid Edition is the most milestone good car so far in 2022. As a person in the automotive industry, I also hope that such a good car will not be buried and should be praised and supported by more people.
