august 28th is a day of "double happiness" for saic-gm-wuling, and it is also a day of new milestone, all of which is related to a new car.

on that day, saic-gm-wuling's 2 millionth new energy vehicle - wuling starlight s officially rolled off the production line at saic-gm-wuling's lean manufacturing factory located at the baojun base in liuzhou, guangxi. in the evening, the new car's price was also announced and it was officially launched on the market.

the importance of wuling xingguang s to this new model shows how much saic-gm-wuling values ​​it. as the first new energy dual-power suv on the tianyu architecture d platform, wuling xingguang s has comprehensively enhanced its space, safety, energy saving, comfort and other aspects, becoming a new breakthrough for wuling.

although wuling xingguang s is equipped with many new technologies and its overall quality has been significantly improved, its pricing is still very "wuling" and full of sincerity. wuling xingguang s offers two power versions: plug-in hybrid (phev) and pure electric (ev). the official price is 99,800-129,800 yuan, and you can also enjoy six limited-time car purchase gifts with a maximum value of 20,000 yuan. according to wuling's official news, the number of orders for the new car has exceeded 10,000 since the pre-sale started.

live directly in the "finely decorated large room"

previously, wuling launched the wuling xingguang, which was a sedan. although the new car has only an s in its name, the two models are very different from the outside to the inside. as mentioned earlier, the wuling xingguang s is an suv, but in terms of design style, it continues the xingguang aesthetic design concept.

the vehicle dimensions are 4745mm*1890mm*1680mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 2800mm, providing a large interior space. the 985mm second-row seat spacing is the widest in its class, and the rear seat cushion is 525mm, the longest in its class, and the rear seat backrest can be adjusted up to 127°. therefore, wuling xingguang s is not just about being larger, but also pays more attention to the comfort after being larger.

in terms of interior, wuling xingguang s adopts a large and small dual-screen central control layout similar to xingguang. the interior materials and materials have a high-end touch. the flagship model's driver and passenger seats can be electrically adjusted and are equipped with seat ventilation and heating functions, as well as a 1.18㎡ ultra-large sunroof and electric full-light blackout sunshade.

in terms of power, wuling xingguang s is not only powerful but also economical. wuling xingguang s offers two power options: plug-in hybrid and pure electric. the plug-in hybrid model offers two pure electric range versions of 60km/130km, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is as low as 3.9l/100km (nedc). it is equipped with a lingxi power-specific engine and a high-efficiency electric drive system. the motor power is up to 150kw, the peak torque is 310n·m, and it can achieve an acceleration of 7.9s from 0 to 100 kilometers.

the pure electric model has a range of up to 510km and supports dc fast charging and ac slow charging. the entire series is equipped with 2c fast charging as standard. after 15 minutes of charging, the range can be increased by 200km. it only takes 20 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, and the acceleration from 0 to 100km is only 7.7s. wuling xingguang s is also equipped with an external discharge function with a power of 3.3kw and a rated voltage of 220v.

in terms of chassis, wuling xingguang s won the "top ten chassis in china in 2024" and adopts the leading front mcpherson and rear e-type multi-link independent suspension in the same class. the driving quality of the whole vehicle has approached that of the joint venture brand models of the same level.

real benefits are also very particular

it is true that wuling has made outstanding achievements in small cars, but this does not mean that wuling's technical strength and level are limited to small cars. some people even suspect that the low prices of wuling models are due to "compensation" in terms of materials.

in fact, if you look at wuling's "family assets", you will find that wuling's models are not only affordable, but also very sophisticated. take wuling xingguang s as an example, it is not inferior to the "big manufacturers" of the same level in some core technologies.

consumers are very concerned about battery safety performance for new energy vehicles. wuling xingguang s is equipped with shenlian batteries and fire-resistant cells. with the first-of-its-kind "top-level" technology for cells, its safety performance far exceeds the national standard. so far, wuling's new energy vehicles have sold 2 million units and still have zero spontaneous combustion.

in terms of body safety, wuling xingguang s adopts a six-ring high-strength steel frame, and the high-strength steel of the body structure accounts for as much as 82.5%. in terms of configuration safety, wuling xingguang s is equipped with 6 surround airbags as standard, 360° high-definition imaging superimposed on a 180° transparent chassis, etc.

at present, the suv market in the 100,000-130,000 yuan range is dominated by domestic brands, and there are many models to choose from. wuling's 100,000 yuan models are indeed not as popular as byd, changan, geely and other models. some netizens commented that the low-end models have less comfort and intelligent configurations. for example, the l2 intelligent assisted driving system is only equipped in the wuling xingguang s flagship model.

however, this does not affect the fact that wuling xingguang s is still a high-quality, low-priced car. on the one hand, it is a flagship model with full configuration, which is more than 20,000 yuan cheaper than byd song plus; on the other hand, wuling xingguang s is also a model for the international market, which fully reflects the quality and strength of the model.

for saic-gm-wuling, the wuling starlight s, created through a new platform, provides strong support for the brand's upward development and becomes another global model of a chinese brand, which deserves praise. however, at the same time, the reality facing saic-gm-wuling is that when it builds a good car and sets a sincere price, how to make more consumers consider wuling when buying a 100,000-level car will be more challenging.
