When it comes to the current new energy vehicle market, extended-range SUVs can be said to be a dark horse that has risen in recent years. After all, if a car has several major advantages such as large space, comfort, and good passing ability, it can cope with more vehicle usage scenarios. Recently, Chery has continued to make efforts in the field of extended-range medium and large SUVs and launched a new car, the Star Era ET. It has the endorsement of a big manufacturer, but does the new car itself have strong product strength to quickly gain a foothold in the increasingly competitive market?

Let's first look at the appearance of the Xingjiyuan ET. The car does not use too many hard lines in its exterior design. The entire front of the car is round and natural. The winding crescent-shaped arc light strip further outlines the width and fullness of the front face. The "EXEED" English logo dotted below highlights the unique recognition of the Chery Xingtu series. Interestingly, the Xingjiyuan ET combines the ISD intelligent wind language interactive lights and the guide grooves into one, and users can customize a variety of light language patterns to meet personalized needs.

The interior decoration of the Star Era ET is in line with the high-end SUV camp. Nuprima velvet material is covered in most areas such as the cockpit, center console, door panels, etc., which has a high-end touch and helps to improve the overall sense of grade. In addition, the 12.5K floating center console screen + 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and W-HUD head-up display system can realize three-screen linkage, highlighting the technological atmosphere of new energy vehicles.

In terms of the cockpit, the "Queen's co-pilot" commonly found in luxury SUVs is also present in the Star Era ET. The co-pilot seat supports one-touch zero-pressure comfortable lying. After starting this mode, the leg rest of the seat will automatically rise and the backrest will be reclined, forming a comfortable single bed. The wheelbase of the Star Era ET is 3 meters, and the length, width and height are 4955x1975x1698mm respectively. The generous size ensures a generous room ratio, and it will not feel cramped even when fully loaded with 5 people.

 

Star Era ET is fully equipped with intelligent driving, car computer and other functions. The front vehicle departure reminder, 540° transparent body, three cruise functions are all standard for the whole series, and the active safety warning system covers several major scenarios such as front and rear, lane departure, DOW door opening, and reversing side of the car, which not only brings convenience to driving but also ensures driving safety. In addition, except for the entry-level model, the rest of the models support four-tone language recognition and control, and the human-vehicle interaction is convenient and intelligent.

The new car was built on the E0X platform, and the characteristic gimbal chassis is naturally present under this architecture. The front double wishbone and rear five-link suspension are all made of aluminum, with moderate damping and toughness. In addition, its high-end models are also equipped with CDC shock absorbers + IAS air suspension. After sensing the road conditions ahead, the system will quickly respond and intelligently adjust the height and hardness of the suspension, providing both control and comfort.

The Star Era ET has achieved power equality for the extended-range version. The three models in the series are equipped with a dedicated extended-range system consisting of a drive motor (195kW) + 1.5T engine (115kW). The CLTC comprehensive range is up to 1518km. In addition, the Star Era ET is equipped with the Shenxing super-charged battery jointly developed with CATL, which supports 4C super-charging. It only takes 10 minutes to store 400 kilometers of electricity, which can greatly alleviate the range anxiety when going out.

Currently, Ideal Auto is a leader in the large five-seater new energy SUV market. The arrival of Star Era ET gives us a new choice in addition to Ideal L7, L8 and other models. Moreover, Star Era ET comes from Chery, a domestic old brand. Compared with the new forces in car manufacturing, its after-sales, quality control and other services will be more complete, which is a plus point for consumers who want to try new energy vehicles. I believe that Star Era ET will be able to find its own place in the extended-range large five-seater SUV market segment.
