The pertinent evaluation of Xingyue L： It’s a good car, but it’s not a subversive.

Xingyue L is really good. The official has always stressed that it is a compact SUV, but its wheelbase has reached 2845mm, which is a proper medium-sized SUV.

This positioning can be said that it wants to reduce the dimension and hit the joint venture compact SUV, such as CR-V, which won the top spot in SUV sales in April, or Qijun, which is going downhill. From another angle, is Xingyue L forced to lower its positioning in order to avoid direct competition with UNI-K and Mocha, which are currently in the limelight?

If it is a medium-sized SUV, then the pre-sale price of Xingyue L 148,000-188,000 yuan is really attractive.When it was officially listed, the price was mostly 145,800.(Shanghai Auto Show Eggs Guess), but if it is a compact SUV according to the official statement, then the price is probably too confident.

Whether it is medium-sized or compact depends not only on the wheelbase parameters, but on the actual ride performance. Many media always mention CMA architecture when describing Xingyue L, as if this is the best automobile production architecture in the world. It is true that this architecture has many advantages, but all along, no matter whether it is Xingrui, Xingyue or now Xingyue L, as long as the cars from CMA architecture have a minor problem-Space utilization is too low..

Perhaps this is the fact that we want to cover up in the name of "subversive". Now consumers will learn to look at the parameters and learn to use the comparison function. If we only look at the body parameters, the Xingyue L can be described as invincible in the compact SUV.

As the leading and participating basic core module architecture, CMA architecture can undertake the research and development and production of medium-sized cars, but in fact, the products of this platform are mostly between medium-sized and compact models. So we see that the models from CMA architecture are often as fierce as tigers before they go on the market, and when they see the sales volume …

The sales volume of Xingrui, also known as "subversive", can’t make a greater breakthrough in the position of around 10,000 units. As for Xingyue, it has long been forgotten; At present, the sales volume of 05, which comes from CMA and has high hopes, is about 2,000 units, and 01 fluctuates between 3,000 and 4,000 units. On the contrary, 06, which is not based on CMA, has gradually become the brand sales champion.Although the sales volume does not reflect the strength, it can reflect the degree to which products are accepted by the market.

Chinese people’s demand for space exceeds other factors. At present, I only briefly looked at the Star Yue L at the auto show, but several other cars of CMA have been evaluated. The main problem is that the head space is too depressed due to the uplift of the cockpit floor.Both front and rear rows, only 01 with the highest height performed slightly better, and this problem still exists on Xingyue L..

In fact, from the CMA architecture, we can understand why the space will be small.The space inside the car gives way to the stress zone of the car body, which can play a better protection role in the event of collision.. Therefore, it’s not nonsense that Xingyue L is called a version. The overall structure and details are very similar to XC60, and the safety level should not be bad. In this way, it is quite cost-effective to spend less than 200 thousand to buy a Taiwan.

Aside from the problem of space, in fact, Xingyue L is still very capable of playing.Especially in the application of interior design and intelligent car machine, the temptation is not small.

The most attractive thing about the new car is not the central control panel.It is the color matching of the interior of Xingyue L.The double-color design has the feeling of a luxury brand. The combination of the two colors can give the interior a distinct feeling, coupled with the grade of materials, which also gives the car Xingyue L a visual sense of advanced.

Although there is suspicion of drawing lessons from peace,But I have to say that this set of interior design of Xingyue L is much more careful than copying XC60 in appearance.. At the same time, the penetrating multimedia screen on the center console is also very eye-catching, extending from the center console to the co-pilot position. I have tried UNI-K before, thinking that it is the pinnacle of domestic interior design. I didn’t know that I was a little hasty until I saw Xingyue L.

It is enough to get started in configuration.Low-profile models have practical configurations such as transparent chassis and electric tailgate.And then raising the price will add more comfort equipment in turn. From this point of view, L also used his heart to do market research. Combined with its excellent mechanical quality, the comprehensive strength of Xingyue L is really strong.

Write it at the end

The Xingyue L must be a car designed to take the volume, otherwise it wouldn’t have been warmed up for so long, and from the past half-covered and half-ashamed to the present, I just use the engine. If you don’t believe me, just open the hood. Endorsement by motivation is more useful than saying anything.

The engine used did bring a lot of attention, but the three versions on sale are all 7DCT gearboxes, which is probably an important reason for the polarization of public opinion after the announcement of the pre-sale price of Xingyue L. In fact, I don’t have much opinion on dual clutch, but everyone has been paying attention to the power combination of 2.0T+8AT before, and the pre-sale price of this version has reached 178,800, which is really disappointing.After all, it is also 2.0T, and the price of the third generation is much more fragrant.

A pertinent evaluation of the car Xingyue L, its dimension reduction blow is probably more like "Reduced the level but not the price.",the space performance between compact and medium-sized SUVs has some advantages, but at the same time the price is higher. However, Xingyue L is also attractive in configuration and design, so let’s wait for its official listing before commenting on its future performance.
