Wuling Xing Guang Combines Sleek Looks With Plug-In Hybrid Power
Wuling is best known for making pint-sized electric vehicles, but the brand has launched the new Xing Guang (Starlight) in China. The stylish plug-in hybrid is bound to turn heads as it sports an aerodynamically optimized grille that resides beneath a slender light bar. They’re joined by LED headlights and streamlined bodywork, which helps the sedan to have a drag coefficient of 0.228.
Moving inside, there’s a minimalist cabin with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch infotainment system. Buyers will also find a floating center console, gloss black accents, and a rotary shifter. They’re joined by a six-way power driver’s seat, an automatic climate control system, and a four-speaker audio system. The range-topping variant sports an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch infotainment system running Ling OS, which provides navigation and “voice interaction.” Other highlights include a fancier steering wheel and two extra speakers. Under the hood, there’s a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 174 hp (130 kW / 177 PS) electric motor. The entry-level variant has a 9.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery that provides an electric-only range of 43 miles (70 km), while the range-topping trim has a 20.5 kWh battery that increases the distance to 93 miles (150 km). Both allow for an overall WLTC range in excess of 684 miles (1,100 km).
