Bitauto Original: Xingtu Star Era ES is the first high-end mid-to-large pure electric sedan under the Xingtu brand. The new car is priced in the domestic price range of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, but in the future, the overseas price will reach 100 yuan. The 10,000-level model has become the most expensive model of Chinese bicycles sold overseas, so today we will discuss the highlights of this Star Era ES and whether it can also reach the million-level level.
The Star Era ES is built on the E0X pure electric platform. This platform has a cumulative R&D investment of tens of billions over 4 years. It can derive products ranging from compact to medium-sized sedans and SUVs, while also taking into account pure electric vehicles. Electric models, as well as extended-range hybrid models, and multiple power forms can give consumers more choices. As an important product of Star Era ES, the gimbal chassis shows unparalleled advantages:
1. The gimbal chassis is based on five leading technologies: cloud dynamic architecture, intelligent control chassis CIC technology, intelligent power , multi-mode perception, these advanced Technology brings a smooth driving experience. Cloud architecture:High-end double wishbones at the front and five-link rear, high-performance six-piston racing-grade calipers, HDS hydraulic isolation system; Intelligent chassis CIC:IAS intelligence Air suspension + CDC electromagnetic vibration reduction system system, IBS brake-by-wire system, free steering; Intelligent power:800V efficient electric drive, intelligent torque control system (dual motor version); Lightweight chassis: All aluminum Chassis with one-piece die-casting technology.
2. Front high-end double wishbone + rear five-link
The suspension configuration is Four-wheel independent suspension with double wishbones at the front and five-link rear. It is worth mentioning that beforeThe double-wishbone independent suspension adopts a front high-end double-wishbone design with a virtual kingpin. The lower control arm has two connecting rods instead of a triangular control arm. The virtual kingpin formed by the two control arms is closer to the wheel touching the ground. The position will also change according to the steering angle, providing the most ideal wheel contact angle, as well as a more natural steering feel and a more stable high-speed straight driving state
3. IAS intelligent air suspension + CDC electromagnetic vibration reduction system
IAS intelligent air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping and shock-absorbing systems are standard equipment for all Star Era ES series. The highlight of this system is that it has high-speed suspension intelligent control, adjustable suspension soft and hard, chassis lifting and lowering, It has six major functions: intelligent adjustment of vehicle height, maintenance of body posture, and intelligent welcome. The one-button assisted passing mode can raise the suspension height by 50mm, bringing the vehicle's ground clearance to 180mm, the level of an SUV, ensuring passability and eliminating the need to worry about bottoming out. CDC electromagnetic damping and vibration reduction can use sensing hardware and algorithms to predict speed bumps and adjust suspension damping in advance to improve ride comfort when passing speed bumps. The car adopts an integrated die-cast body, an 800V high-voltage platform, and in terms of comfort, the entire series comes standard with air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping and vibration reduction systems.
4. Lightweight chassis: all-aluminum chassis and integrated die-casting technology
Star Era ES uses an all-aluminum chassis made of a large amount of aluminum alloy materials. Among them, the self-developed one-piece die-casting technology successfully integrated 78 chassis parts into 4 cast aluminum parts: front shock tower, rear longitudinal beam wheel cover. Thereby: improving processing quality and reducing deviations caused by process complexity and tolerance accumulation; more consistent overall mechanical properties, significantly improved structural strength, improved structural safety, and stiffness increased by about 50%; reduced manufacturing costs, improved material utilization, The production efficiency is higher; the recycling rate of die-casting materials can reach more than 95%; the weight is reduced by about 30%.
800V platform & long battery life:
In terms of power, Star Era ES offers single-motor and dual-motor versions. The former has a maximum power of 185kW and 230kW respectively. The dual-motor version has a front and rear motor power of 123kW and 230kW respectively.kW, 0-100km/h acceleration reaches 3 seconds.
In terms of battery life, thanks to the empowerment of the 800V high-voltage (electrical) platform, the Star Era ES can increase the cruising range by 10%, increase the charging speed by 50-100%, and reduce energy consumption per 100 kilometers by approximately 4-5%. These are finally translated into actual data: the 800V long-range and ultra-long-range versions have a cruising range of up to 720km and 905km.
Long cruising range means saving power consumption. The Star Era ES 720km version has a minimum power consumption of 11.7kWh/100km under CLTC operation, which is the lowest energy consumption in its class in the world.
It achieves super fast charging technology while maintaining low energy consumption. Charging for 5 minutes can provide a range of 218km, and the battery can be replenished by 30% to 80% in 15 minutes. Together with Xingtu brand ultra-fast charging stations and smart charging maps, users can travel without range anxiety.
The "occupancy rate" of space in the car is as high as 70.2%:
In terms of space, Star Era ES benefits from the gimbal chassis, and the "occupancy rate" of the space inside the car is 70.2%, which is a very good space utilization rate. According to actual measurements, a male experiencer with a height of 180cm sat in the front row, with the seat adjusted to the lowest position, and there was a lot of headroom. The front seats are of a one-piece design, with moderately soft and hard fillings inside, providing high overall comfort and a certain degree of wrapping.
Coming to the back row, if the front seats remain unchanged, the experiencer has one punch of headroom and more than two punches of legroom. The length of the back seat cushion is very reasonable and can basically fully support the thighs. The middle seat has a flat floor design and is relatively comfortable for people to sit in. It has an advantage among models of the same level.
In terms of storage space, the Star Era ES has up to 32 storage spaces and a 436L large trunk, which can meet the various travel needs of the whole family.
Spark Cognition Large Model & Lion Melody Sound System:
The 15.6-inch central control screen in the all-in-one wrap-around cockpit has a resolution of 2.5K. The car-machine system based on the 8155 software and hardware platform is equipped with the iFlytek Spark cognitive large model for the first time. It adopts a new scene-based interface design and will significantly Improve the intelligent attributes and learning capabilities of the car, and realize various functions such as natural human-computer interaction, voice control, knowledge Q&A, code writing, etc., so that drivers and passengers can enjoy the convenience and fun of intelligence.
Equipped with a Lion Melody sound system, equipped with 23 speakers, the peak power of the sound system can reach 960W, and supports panoramic sound effects. The main driving headrest speakers can realize three different applications: full car mode, driving mode, and private mode. Scenario usage experience.
Editor’s comment: Whether it is styling, intelligence or battery life, Star Era ES once again takes the 300,000-yuan pure electric car to a new level. It is a car that can withstand scrutiny and has a high degree of design completion. Very high model. At the same time, it is very willing to spend money on hardware. The one-piece aluminum die-casting body technology and 800V high-voltage platform are high in content. The air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping and vibration reduction will also bring good comfort to the vehicle. Overall, the advantages are also very Obviously, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire chassis system of Star Era ES is completely comparable to the level of overseas million-level electric cars.
