Big enough, wild enough and hard enough. Quan Huafu test drive Qiruixing Road Xingyu Era ET.
Automobile Quan Huafu News At the end of 2023, there was an important model quietly listed in a controversy, which was Chery’s high-end new energy model-Xingtu Xingjiyuan ES. But before the Spring Festival in 2024, Xingtu New Energy added a new car: Xingjiyuan ET. In this way, the star-to-star era sequence has formed the lineup of Gemini models of cars ES and SUV ET.
Today, the model we test drive is the pure electric four-wheel drive version of Star Era ET, with the maximum power of 353kW and the maximum horsepower of 480 horsepower. The curb weight has reached 2339kg, the body size is 4955/1975/1698mm, and the wheelbase is 3 meters. Star Era ET battery pack is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and the wheel hub size reaches 255/50 R20. The size, space and power of the whole vehicle are enough to see and use.
Wild and hard enough to go out and play without any worries.
Accidents always come unexpectedly. At the beginning of the test drive meeting, it was actually a direct hard-core cross-country, opening the shoal and wading! It’s the first time to drive a new energy SUV across the river. I directly turned on the off-road mode of Star Era ET and slowly tried to drive the car into the river.
The feeling and sound of a behemoth with a weight of 2.3 tons pressing on the pebbles at the bottom of the river make driving gradually enter the state. According to the test drive coach, the wading depth of Star Age ET is 750mm, which is more than that of Bobcats.
After wading, there are conventional hard-core cross-country venues, bullet pits and cross-axle pavements. However, there is no pressure on medium and large SUVs such as Xingjiyuan ET. In the whole process, the torque at the wheel end of Xingjiyuan ET is distributed in place, and the wheels are locked as soon as they slip, and the support of the suspension is very tight. It can be seen that Chery Automobile’s "cloud structure" plays a decisive role in the adjustment and promotion of the whole vehicle.
Big enough and comfortable enough, and it is easy and comfortable to travel at home.
Having said that, the positioning of Star Era ET is, after all, an urban mobility SUV. After off-road measurement, the off-road capability of Star Era ET has made people worry about nothing, but what about the comfort and space of positioning home cities for mobility?
The wheelbase is 3 meters and the body size is close to 5 meters. Such parameters can be imagined in the interior space. Whether in the front row or the back row, the head space and leg space are more than enough, and the flat floor in the back row is also frequently praised by the teachers who participated in the test drive.
In the front cab, Star Age ET is equipped with the main zero-gravity passenger seat of the model. The support of the seat to the body is in place, which makes the human body feel comfortable. In fact, the armrest box is also a highlight, which can be moved back and forth for a certain distance.
Auto Quan Huafu Review: At present, Star Era ET only has 5 seats. For new energy vehicles of this size, 6 seats and 7 seats can actually be added later. Moreover, the official logo, in the second quarter of this year, Star Era ET will usher in an extended-range model, so that people with pure battery life anxiety have more choices.
