The king of value for money! Wuling Xingguang plug-in hybrid sedan sales exceeded 18,000 in the first month, and the market response was enthusiastic

Wuling Motors officially announced recently that the new plug-in hybrid sedan Xingguang has performed well since its launch, with sales reaching 18,294 units in the first month. This achievement makes Starlight a strong competitor in the 150,000 plug-in hybrid sedan market, second only to the top spot.

According to data disclosed by Wuling, the consumer group of Starlight models is dominated by men, accounting for as high as 66%. In addition, young consumers have shown strong interest in this model, with users aged 18 to 35 accounting for 70%. In terms of model selection, more than 80% of users tend to buy the 150 advanced version, which shows the strong appeal of this version in the market.

# After Wuling Xingguang was launched, it launched two models for consumers to choose from, with a price range of 88,800-105,800 yuan. This people-friendly price strategy has significantly improved Starlight's competitiveness in the market. Compared with BYD Qin PLUS DM-i Champion Edition, which has already been reduced in price, Xingguang still shows higher cost performance and is favored by consumers.

In terms of vehicle specifications, Wuling Xingguang shows its strength as a mid-size sedan. Its body size reaches 4835mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1515mm in height, and the wheelbase reaches 2800mm. In addition, Starlight also provides a wealth of body color and interior color matching options to meet the personalized needs of different consumers. At the same time, the car also has excellent performance in terms of drag coefficient, as low as 0.228Cd. In terms of safety, Xingguang also spares no effort. High-strength steel accounts for 76.4% of the entire vehicle. The B-pillar uses a four-layer composite steel design to provide solid safety protection for passengers.

#The core highlight of Starlight is that it is equipped with Wuling’s new Lingxi hybrid system. The system consists of a high-efficiency four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. The engine's thermal efficiency is as high as 43.2%. In addition, the response speed of the electromagnetic DHT system is only 0.1 seconds, providing drivers with a smooth and fast driving experience.

In addition, Starlight is also equipped with a Shenlian battery with an energy density of over 165Wh/kg and a peak power of over 300kW. Shenlian batteries also show excellent charge and discharge efficiency, reaching over 96%. The battery adopts an innovative MUST structural design and uses "non-fire" cells to ensure the safety of the entire vehicle during use.

According to the editor’s understanding, the MUST structure of Shenlian Batteries also has a unique advantage, that is, it supports cell-level replacement and repair. This means that when the power battery is damaged, there is no need to replace the entire battery pack, only the damaged cells need to be repaired or replaced, which greatly reduces the user's cost of use. This technology is unique in the current market.

In terms of fuel consumption, Wuling Starlight also shows excellent performance. Under WLTC operating conditions, the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers when running out of power is only 3.98 liters; under NEDC operating conditions, this figure is even reduced to 3.7 liters. Based on the current 92# gasoline price of 8.36 yuan/liter, the cost of driving a car per 100 kilometers is only 33.27 yuan, and the average fuel cost per kilometer is only 0.33 yuan. Such fuel consumption performance will undoubtedly further enhance Starlight's competitiveness in the market.
