Won 5+ stars, and the new Star Way TXL debuted.
[car home New Car Launch] The new model (|) made its debut at today’s Star Road Five-Star Safety Salon. Compared with the old models, the new car has been completely redesigned in appearance and interior, and has also been optimized in intelligence and configuration. It is reported that the new model will be officially opened for pre-sale during the Beijing Auto Show in 2020.
○ Features of the new TXL car in Xingtu.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the latest design language of Xingtu "Intelligent Aesthetics 2.0", and the five English letters of "EXEED" are designed with "breathing light of the Star Story", which makes the effect very bright after lighting. The front grille was changed from the previous big mouth design to the transverse borderless design, and the vertical LED daytime running lights on both sides and the willow headlights on both sides improved the overall recognition of the new car.
The waistline on the side of the new Star Road TXL car is on the high side, and sharp lines are used to create a stronger sense of strength and enrich the design details. In addition, the lines with high front and thick bottom can also create a running posture. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4780mm/1885mm/1730mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm.
The modeling design of the rear part keeps a unified tone with the front part, paying more attention to layering. In detail, a large spoiler extends from the rear of the roof, and the taillights on both sides are polygonal in design, and the popular through taillights are adopted. The vertical red reflectors on both sides echo the front of the car from a distance, and the exhaust is designed in two sides. The overall shape makes the new car dynamic.
The car that appeared this time can’t be displayed inside. So we can see the new interior from the official map. Except the design of the steering wheel, the interior of the whole new car has changed. The center console adopts a large-size dual screen design, and the air conditioning control panel in the middle of the central control also adopts a touch design, with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a lever-type electronic gear shifting mechanism, all of which make the new car show a full sense of technology and luxury. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with a newly upgraded "Lion4.0 Lion Zhiyun System", which can realize many applications such as face recognition+voiceprint recognition.
In terms of power, it is expected that the new car will still be equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine. Referring to cash, its maximum power is 197 HP and its peak torque is 290 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Of course, the new car will continue to offer two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options.
At present, the new Starway TXL has completed the crash test in C-NCAP (China New Car Evaluation Regulation). This car has a cage body structure, and the application rate of high-strength steel is 68.7%. At the same time, CAE computer simulation is widely used to make the whole body design more reasonable. In the test, the new car became the fourth model with 5+ star rating under the current version of the rules (previously, it was Lectra 02, Audi Q5L and Volkswagen Tanyue). It got full marks in the active safety test, which is very rare.

○ competing models
As a brand-oriented car, its competitive environment is very fierce. In the SUV market of 130,000-200,000, there are Honda CR-V before Haval H6, and at the same time, there are explorers, Roewe RX5 and other models eyeing around. Whether the launch of new modified models can make the star road break through the circle still needs the test of the market.

Editor’s comment:
Overall, the appearance and interior design of the new TXL model of Xingtu are quite bright, which is more in line with the product image of high-end SUV, and the safety of the product is beyond doubt. However, in the highly competitive SUV market, whether Starway can stand out with these characteristics still needs to face the test of the market.
In addition to the three SUV products that have been planned at present, Starway officially announced the car product plan in this activity, and three cars will be launched in the future, namely compact Starway LS, medium-sized Starway TS and medium-sized Starway VS.. Subsequent Starway brand products will also cover MPV and pure electric vehicles. With the product lineup and coverage of market segments becoming more and more perfect, this new brand may bring us unexpected surprises. (Photo/Text car home Leng Xiaoyang)
