These advancements contribute to an exceptional low-power consumption rate of 3.98L/100km, surpassing industry standards based on WLTC standards.
Aesthetic Appeal and Design Concept
The Starlight's aesthetic appeal is driven by the "Star wing aesthetic" design concept, which features eye-catching elements such as a distinctive wing-type front grille, star-colored light groups, full-LED automatic headlights, and star-ring tail lights. The sedan's dynamic profile, characterized by a short front overhang and long rear overhang ratio, culminates in a striking fastback shape.
Comfort and Technology Inside
Inside the Starlight, an emphasis on comfort and technology is evident. The sedan offers a modern and luxurious experience with two interior options: dark black and quicksand color. The dual suspension screen design includes a 10.1-inch floating intelligent central control screen and a 7-inch full LCD instrument screen in the standard version. The advanced version boasts a 15.6-inch intelligent central control screen and an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument screen, providing an enhanced user interface.
Power and Charging Efficiency
Powering the Starlight is the Wuling Lingxi hybrid system, which features a 1.5L hybrid engine platform with a remarkable maximum thermal efficiency of 43.2%. The "Shenlian Battery" ensures high energy density exceeding 165Wh/kg and charge/discharge efficiency surpassing 96%. The vehicle supports fast charging and AC charging piles, allowing a 30-minute charge from 30% to 80%.
