Static review
Xingtu Yaoguang is the first model based on the Xingtu M3X Mars Architecture 2.0. In terms of design, it is also highly similar to the AtlantiX concept car, especially the design of the headlights, which is highly recognizable. Very high. The borderless grille design has become the current trend in new car design, and it has also broken our inherent impression of the Xingtu family-style grille. Compared with the concept car, the headlight design of Yaoguang is not so sharp, and the use of lines is much softer.
Coming to the side, Xingtu Yaoguang adopts the popular fastback body. The overall design of the side of the body is quite simple, and hidden door handles are not missing. The roofline starts to drop from the top of the A-pillar, and the sharply sloping D-pillar design also gives Yaoguang more of a coupe-SUV feel. As for the body size, Yaoguang's length, width and height are 4781/1920/1671mm, and the wheelbase is 2815mm.
The design of the rear of the car is equally stunning. The integrated spoiler and high-mounted brake lights make the vehicle more avant-garde. The through-type LED taillights are naturally not absent, and the through-type taillights can also rhythm with the rhythm of music in three forms of light language. The exhaust layout with a total of four exhaust outlets on both sides looks a bit intimidating, but it is actually just a decoration. In essence, it still uses a hidden exhaust design.
Going inside the car, Yaoguang’s interior also completely follows the design style of the concept car. Of course, what is surprising is that Yaoguang is not stingy in the use of interior materials. Nappa leather can be seen on the instrument panel and door panels. In addition, the wood grain/ The craftsmanship of metal plaques and piano paint decoration are also good. XingtuYaoguang adopts the latest EEA4.0 electronic and electrical architecture, with Gigabit Ethernet, software and hardware separation, and full-vehicle OTA functions.

In terms of seats, Xingtu Yaoguang is equipped with Nappa leather seats, and the interior padding is soft and comfortable. The seat configuration is relatively high. Taking the real model as an example, the front seats are equipped with electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation functions, and there are also air-conditioning outlets in the rear rows; four-wheel drive high-end models will also be equipped with rear seat heating functions. Of course, the most noteworthy thing is Yaoguang's "Queen's Passenger" seat, which is rare among models of the same level and is not exclusive to top-end models; at the same time, Yaoguang span> There is also a boss button for rear passengers. It seems that the co-pilot and rear passengers are treated equally.

Vehicle configuration analysis
First of all, let’s take a look at the two-wheel drive Comfort Edition, which is the cheapest in the series. The two-wheel drive Comfort Edition is priced at 152,800 yuan. Although it is the model with the lowest configuration in the entire series, the configuration level of the two-wheel drive Comfort Edition model is not shabby. In terms of comfort configuration, the two-wheel drive Comfort Edition not only has LED headlights and daytime running lights, but also has keyless entry for the front row and one-touch lifting and lowering of all windows. Entering the car, the vehicle also has leather seats, and the main and passenger seats support 6-way and 4-way electric adjustment respectively. In terms of smart configuration, Xingtu Yaoguang can be said to treat everyone equally. Even the cheapest model in the series has a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.3-inch central control screen. The central control screen is also equipped with Lion 5.0 The Lion Cloud system, coupled with the help of the 8155 chip, can make the vehicle system smoother and achieve more functions. As for the access to CarPlay/HiCar functions, Yaoguang also makes Yaoguang more complete in terms of intelligent configuration. As for safety/auxiliary functions, Xingtu Yaoguang’s configuration level is also rich. The cheapest two-wheel drive comfort version also has 360-degree panoramic images, adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, etc. function, it can already realize L2 level assisted driving functions. It can be seen that although it is the cheapest two-wheel drive Comfort Edition model in the entire series, the configuration of Xingtu Yaoguang is not low. Consumers with a budget of only about 150,000 can definitely choose this model.
The next step is the two-wheel drive Premium Edition, which is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive Comfort Edition. This is also the model I recommend most. AppearanceFirst, 20-inch wheels were replaced to make the vehicle more imposing. The rim shape also adopts a low-wind resistance decorative cover, which gives it a feeling of an electric vehicle. The main configuration improvement of the two-wheel drive premium version is in terms of comfort. The main driver's seat has been upgraded from 6-way electric adjustment to 12-way electric adjustment, and the passenger seat has also been upgraded from 4-way electric adjustment to 10-way electric adjustment. The passenger seat has been upgraded to the familiar "Queen's Passenger". In terms of seat functions, the two-wheel drive premium version also adds front seat heating/ventilation, passenger seat massage and main driver electric seat memory, which can be said to have substantially improved seat comfort. As for intelligent configuration and safety/auxiliary configuration, the two-wheel drive Premium Edition also has certain upgrades. Facial recognition, HUD head-up display and fatigue driving reminder are all added configurations of the Two-wheel Drive Premium Edition. The price of the two-wheel drive premium model has increased by 10,000 yuan, which greatly improves the comfort of the vehicle, so it is the model I recommend most.
Compared with the two-wheel drive Premium Edition, the model with one higher configuration is the four-wheel drive Premium Edition, which is 12,000 yuan more expensive. In fact, the difference between the two models can be seen from the naming. In terms of various configurations, this The two models are basically identical, but the driving mode of the vehicle has changed from front-wheel drive to four-wheel drive. The change of the four-wheel drive premium version is that it has more driving modes. In addition to the three driving modes of sport, economy and comfort, off-road and snow modes are added. In addition, Yaoguang's four-wheel drive models are also equipped with CDC electromagnetic induction suspension, which allows the vehicle to have better vibration filtering and suspension support performance under different road conditions and working conditions. Of course, after being equipped with a four-wheel drive system, the vehicle's fuel consumption will also increase to a certain extent. Considering that most car owners do not actually need a four-wheel drive model, we regard this four-wheel drive premium version as the second recommended model. Friends who do need a four-wheel drive model can also consider it.
The next step is the two-wheel drive luxury version, which is 4,000 yuan more expensive than the four-wheel drive premium version. Although it is only 4,000 yuan more expensive, the improvements in various configurations are still very significant. First of all, in terms of comfort, the two-wheel drive luxury version upgrades the seat material to genuine leather and adds electric adjustment of the rear seats and heating of the rear seats. In addition, the rear seats are also equipped with independent air conditioners, which significantly improves comfort. In terms of smart configuration, the two-wheel drive luxury version only increases the number of Sony audio speakers from 8 to 14. As for safety/auxiliary configuration, the two-wheel drive luxury version is finally equipped with front parking radar, in addition to rear collision warning and merging assist functions. In fact, the two-wheel drive luxury version has a lot of added configurations, but since the drive mode has changed from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive, the price difference of 4,000 yuan is not difficult to reflect the real gap between the two models. Perhaps it is more appropriate to compare it with the two-wheel drive premium version of the same two-wheel drive model. Compared with the two-wheel drive premium version, the price of the two-wheel drive premium version is 16,000 yuan more expensive, and the overall price/performance ratio becomes relatively comparable. Average.
In the future, a four-wheel drive model will be sold for 193,800 yuan.The luxury version is 15,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive luxury version. The two models are basically the same in terms of configuration. The only difference is that the HUD head-up display has been upgraded to AR-HUD, which has a better display effect. In addition, there is the difference between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. This has been mentioned before when talking about the Premium Edition model, so I won’t repeat it here. Generally speaking, the four-wheel drive luxury version model is not cost-effective, and it is not recommended to buy it.
The last is the top-of-the-line model, the four-wheel drive premium version. The official price is 202,800 yuan, which is 9,000 yuan more expensive than the four-wheel drive luxury version. The configuration of the four-wheel drive premium version is actually similar to that of the four-wheel drive luxury version, with only two additional items, namely NOC highway assist and AVP autonomous valet parking. The first is the NOC highway assist function, which is actually the high-speed NOA function that we are already familiar with. It can achieve point-to-point high-level assisted driving on closed roads. Compared with several other models, the four-wheel drive exclusive version can achieve Change lanes autonomously on the highway. As for AVP autonomous valet parking, it can actually be regarded as an upgraded version of automatic parking. It uses high-precision maps and intelligent hardware to complete fully automatic parking tasks in specific scenarios. However, these two functions are currently not equipped on the car, and you still need to wait for subsequent OTA upgrades. However, if you want to experience these two functional configurations, you can only choose the top model, and other models cannot be upgraded through OTA. to get these two features.
Editor's comment: The product strength displayed by Xingtu Yaoguang is still eye-catching. It can be seen that the Xingtu brand has its own pursuit of high-end. So if you want to choose this Xingtu Yaoguang, I think the two-wheel drive premium version priced at 162,800 yuan will be the best choice. In terms of comfort configuration, the two-wheel drive premium version performs very well. level, and various basic configurations are also quite rich. As for if you prefer a four-wheel drive model, then the four-wheel drive premium version can also be considered. For users with sufficient budget, the four-wheel drive premium version, which is the top model, can also be considered. After all, it can implement NOC highway assistance, a feature that is relatively rare among gasoline vehicles.
