Starting from 2141 kilometers and 189,800 yuan, what else does Star Era ET have besides subverting battery life?
Just about a month ago, Starway Automobile held a pre-sale meeting for ――ET, the second model of the brand’s high-end "Star Era" series, and also presented a record of the trial run of Yin Tongyue, the chairman of the big owner of Starway.
I didn’t expect the new car to go on the market this time. In addition to seeing that the pricing is about 10,000 yuan lower than the pre-sale, Starway actually gave these "iron tests" to Star Era ET during this time …
Affirmation of channel 18397
Let’s introduce the models and price distribution of Star Era ET after listing. The first is the extended range series, including: Plus 18.98 yuan, Pro 20.58 yuan, Pro+225,800 yuan, and three models.
Followed by pure electric series, including: Pro 22.98 yuan, Pro four-wheel drive 239,800 yuan, Pro city smart drive 249,800 yuan, Max 27.98 yuan, Ultra 31.98 yuan, five models.
It is worth mentioning that since the opening of the pre-sale, the large order of Star Era ET has reached 18,397 units. In order to give back to the enthusiastic support of consumers, Xingtu Automobile not only announced multiple listing rights such as replacement ceremony and financial ceremony, but also extended the pre-sale rights of new cars to 24:00 on May 10th. Friends who read this report, if interested, have to hurry up with the little time left.
In addition, since the car factory received many suggestions from consumers after the pre-sale, it was announced at this listing conference that the Plus model, which is the entry-level model of Xingjiyuan ET extended range series, was newly added with front remote airbags and front and rear penetrating side air curtains. At this point, all systems of Star Era ET are equipped with 7 airbags as standard to achieve safety and inclusiveness!
At the same time, in order to provide customers with more personalized choices, Xingtu Automobile also presented the optional configurations such as IAS intelligent air suspension package and technology exclusive package to Xingjiyuan ET.
Reverse virtual label saves the bottom
On the other hand … What is the difficulty of Xingtu to Xingji ET? The first item is to start with the extended-range model of this car-with its self-developed extended-range special engine with thermal efficiency of 44.5% and power generation efficiency of 3.65kWh for 1L oil power generation, the official performance data are: 5.2L/100km fuel consumption (WLTC), 1518km comprehensive battery life with full oil and full electricity, and 200km battery life in pure electric mode.
But before, their family decided to challenge the ultimate endurance of Star Era ET, and try to start from Wuhu, Anhui Province with full oil and electricity, and go all the way south to Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, and then go around to Guangzhou without refueling. Finally, the mileage record of 2141.4km was reached, which proved the fuel-saving strength of this car.
As for the Star Era ET pure electric vehicle, it includes two battery configurations and five cruising ranges. Among them, Pro, Pro Four-wheel Drive and Pro City Smart Drive are all equipped with 77kWh capacity batteries, except for the cruising range of Pro Four-wheel Drive of 540km, the other two are all 625km.
Max and Ultra four-wheel drive are equipped with 100kWh battery, the former has a cruising range of 760km and the latter is 655km.
Xingjiyuan ET pure battery series can recharge 475km in 11.5 minutes with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Shenxing super-charged battery and support 800V high-voltage charging, and the SOC can be charged from 20% to 80% in 24 minutes at the low temperature of-20℃.
When the vehicle is at 20% low battery, it can still run 100 kilometers at MINUS 20℃ and accelerate for 5.46s, which proves the performance and strength of the vehicle’s efficient energy supplement and stable power.
It fell off.
Outside the listing conference, I saw a car parked on the side, but the passenger compartment structure was basically intact … This "collision" was the second difficulty that the Star Road car gave to the Star Era ET…… not long ago ── a 31.9-meter fall.
At that time, the test vehicle was powered on. After falling, the front of the vehicle was 100% overlapped with the 4 cm thick steel plate on the ground, and the instantaneous collision speed was about 90 km/h.
The test results show that the battery has no leakage, smoke and fire except that the passenger compartment structure has no obvious deformation, the doors can be opened and the airbag pops up normally. The reason is that the battery carried by Xingyue ET has a 1+8+1 all-round safety system and passed the "NESTA six-dimensional electrical safety" certification.
In terms of active safety, Star Age ET is equipped with a six-piston brake caliper and a brake-by-wire system, which can achieve 34.8 meters at 100km/h braking. Of course, all kinds of body dynamic stability control systems are also available!
In the intelligent driving part, with 30 sensors on the car body and 508TOPS-based NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN chip, some Star Era ET models with corresponding functions can realize NEP full-scene intelligent driving assistance, and the cities supporting urban intelligent driving are constantly upgrading.
Sword finger high-end re-launch force
As Xingtu Automobile and even the entire Chery Group have high hopes, the sword refers to the fist product in the market of 200,000 ~ 300,000 yuan. Like the previous Xingyuan ES, Xingyuan ET emphasizes high-quality product strength. For example, in terms of control, the new car’s Yuntai intelligent chassis has four core technologies: cloud dynamic structure, intelligent control chassis, efficient braking and intelligent power. With the front double wishbone, rear five-link suspension, IAS intelligent air suspension and CDC electromagnetic vibration reduction system …
With a length of 4955mm and a wheelbase of 3000mm, the interior space of Xingjiyuan ET is naturally large, with an effective cabin space of 3.45 m and a light-transmitting area of 1.57㎡ canopy, giving people a transparent and bright ride.
In addition, it includes Nuprima micro-velvet matte leather seat, 16-way electric floating zero-gravity passenger seat, 4-way electric adjustable rear seat, 23 speakers Lion Melody sound system, 6mm double-layer laminated mute glass for front and rear windows, smart air quality+temperature management, etc., which also makes this car show enough luxurious texture.
As Yin Tongyue, the chairman of Chery Holding Group, said: "With the launch of Xingjiyuan ET and other models, I believe that the sales of our new energy products will soon enter the TOP3 of the industry, fulfilling the cows we blew last year, and this year’s new energy is’ no longer welcome’."
Chery’s sales in overseas markets have always been outstanding, and now it is necessary to strengthen its efforts in new energy products. I believe that the future development of Chery’s four major brands should be quite interesting!
