On August 1st, Wuling Starlight S opened its pre-order channel, with a pre-sale price starting at 102,800 yuan. Just a few days later, Wuling Starlight S began full pre-sale, with a pre-sale price ranging from 102,800 to 132,800 yuan, offering five configuration versions. With a wheelbase of 2.8 meters, it is stronger than the average compact SUV, and it also provides both pure electric and range-extended power options. It is believed that such a pre-sale price has demonstrated the brand's sincerity. Moreover, following the Wuling brand's usual approach, the official price in the future should be lower. Many configurations exposed this time also make it more affordable for the general public.

Let's briefly review the power information. Wuling Starlight S offers plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions, with three plug-in hybrid models and two pure electric models. The plug-in hybrid version is composed of a 1.5L engine and a driving motor, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds. The CLTC pure electric range is divided into 60 km and 130 km. It is worth mentioning that under the NEDC conditions, the vehicle's fuel consumption can be as low as 3.9L/100 km, ensuring a full fuel and full electric range of over 1,100 km, meeting users' requirements for low travel costs. In addition, the pure electric version has a CLTC pure electric range of 510 km and supports 2C charging, so it only takes 15 minutes to replenish 200 km of range, which is sufficient to meet long-distance travel needs.

Next, let's look at the specific configuration information. Wuling Starlight S pays great attention to the application of comfort and practicality functions, which is significantly superior to models in the same price range. For example, to ensure the quietness of the cabin, the entire vehicle uses 45 acoustic packages, with the sound-absorbing cotton coverage on the car door panels exceeding 90%, and it comes standard with low-noise comfortable tires. Comfortable features include panoramic imaging, transparent chassis, a 9-speaker sound system, panoramic sunroof, multi-directional electric adjustment and heating and ventilation for the front seats, and heating for the rear seats. Although the price of the high-end model is not yet known, it is speculated that it will be cheaper compared to models like the Song PLUS and the Deep Blue S07, based on the pre-sale price.

In terms of safety configurations, Wuling Starlight S comes standard with a wrap-around 6 airbag system, with the left and right through-style side air curtains being rare in the same price range. In addition, there are functions such as ESC + automatic parking. Of course, high-end models will not lack the current mainstream L2+ level of autonomous driving assistance systems, supporting active safety features such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition. As for the six-ring high-strength steel body structure and the coverage of 24 places with 1500Mpa aviation-level hot-formed steel, they are also designed to further ensure travel safety.

Finally, let's take a look at the static part. As a medium-sized SUV, Wuling Starlight S has no issues with its size, with a length, width, and height of 4745*1890*1685 (1680) mm and a wheelbase of 2800 mm. It can provide an excellent visual effect and meet the space requirements for a five-seat layout. Combined with the new car's rich comfort configurations, such as the front seats being able to lay flat, driving it for self-driving camping is naturally a pleasant experience. Sitting inside the car also has a good sense of luxury, with a 15.6-inch floating central control screen and an 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel also coming standard, equipped with the Ling OS Lingxi smart vehicle system, and the interconnection experience is also worry-free, with the color matching being sufficiently high-end.Summary: The majority of the product strengths of the Wuling Guangxing S have been revealed. It can be said that this family-oriented large space SUV has achieved an excellent level in the same price range for all user concerns, including comfort, quietness, practicality, and intelligence, all without exception. It also offers high-end configurations as standard, combined with a starting price of around 100,000 yuan for the new model, and its advanced new energy power technology, this vehicle undoubtedly has the potential to be a hit. The new car will be launched at the end of August, so stay tuned!
