As the second model of the Star Trek Era, the Star Trek Era ET has been recognized and favored by many consumers since its pre-sale to the market. At the time of listing, the manufacturer's personnel conducted a endurance test on the extended range model, and the result was 2141.1km, which is really impossible for ordinary models. So how does this car perform? Today, we are going to test drive the Star Trek Era ET to see what other highlights it has besides excellent endurance.

Today, we test drive the Xingtu Star Epoch ET extended range model, which will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and equipped with the 32kWh lithium iron phosphate battery of Ningde Era. The pure electric endurance is 200km, and the comprehensive endurance under CLTC conditions is more than 1500km. This endurance is just the result reported to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The actual endurance can already exceed 2000km. This wave of reverse false label is really popular.

As an extended range model, the engine only acts as a generator, so the whole car is still a pure electric car. No matter what driving mode we use, the car can give us a strong sense of acceleration, and the accelerator response speed is also fast. You can feel the power output when you step down, even when accelerating in the middle and rear sections, There is no sense of muddling.

The car we test drive today is equipped with front double wishbone independent suspension and rear five link independent suspension, as well as CDC electromagnetic damping and air suspension. When driving on urban roads, the whole chassis performance is relatively tough. When facing the bumps on the road, the overall handling is easy. When passing the deceleration strip, the laser radar in front of the vehicle can scan in advance and adjust the suspension damping of the vehicle at the speed of millisecond, so as to pass through the bumps in the most comfortable way.

When driving on the expressway, the vehicle can also predict the road ahead in advance and adjust the suspension in time. In addition, when we brake hard or continuously, the vehicle will not "nod". We can only feel some normal forward force in the car, and the rest of the force is resolved by the suspension, which also avoids carsickness when driving the "tram".

The air suspension equipped with this vehicle is adjustable in 7 gears, with an adjustable range of 100mm. At the same time, when our speed is constantly increasing, the air suspension will also automatically fine tune, actively reducing the body height, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving the overall driving safety.

In terms of quietness, the vehicle not only uses a lot of sound insulation materials, but also is equipped with 6mm double laminated glass for the windows. At the same time, it uses a more streamlined appearance design, which also minimizes the generation of wind noise and tire noise. We can maintain a very quiet environment in the car, even if the front and rear passengers chat, they don't have to worry about being disturbed by noise.

Finally, let's also talk about the intelligent driving assistance system of this car. Star Trek Era ET will be equipped with L2+level intelligent driving, including high-speed navigation assistance and urban navigation assistance. High speed pilot assistance can realize independent access to ramps on viaducts or highways, and also support functions such as active lane change overtaking, speed limit recognition, and active avoidance. The overall recognition rate and response speed are also very fast.

Urban pilot assistance will cover urban trunk roads, auxiliary roads, branch roads, rural roads, scenic roads, etc., which can realize the self starting, lane changing, turning around, courtesy vehicles, automatic turning, etc. of traffic lights. At present, the number of cities with city pilot assistance is increasing, and the manufacturer's personnel also said that the solution without maps will be launched at the end of the year, so as to cover more road scenes.

In terms of appearance, the family style design style will be used by the ET. The through LED daytime lights are very recognizable. The logo is not designed in the light band, and the light-emitting design is not adopted. The split type headlamp set is still very scientific. At the same time, the high configuration model will also be equipped with interactive lights, where different lights can be displayed, and the playability is relatively high.

The new car will use a fully enclosed front bar design. Both pure electric models and extended range models maintain the same appearance design style. This design can effectively reduce the drag coefficient. At the same time, an active air intake grille is designed below the front bar. When air is needed, the grille can be opened automatically, and when it is not needed, it will be closed, thus reducing the impact of drag on endurance.

In terms of body dimensions, Xingtu Star era ET Its length, width and height are 4955x1975x1698mm, and its wheelbase is 3000mm. It is positioned as a medium and large SUV. The car will use an electric concealed door handle, and it will also use a low wind resistance cyclone hub with multiple stripes, which is matched with a 255/50 R20 tire, so as to better reduce the wind resistance and improve the vehicle's range. In addition, the low configuration version will also be equipped with 19 inch wheels, which are matched with 255/55 R19 tires.

The design of the rear part of the car is also very fashionable, including the use of a through tail lamp set, which turns on to show a double-layer style, and the overall recognition is very high. The logo is also placed outside the lamp set, and it is worth mentioning that the electric switch of the tailgate is designed in the middle of the letter "D", so you need to be familiar with it when you use it for the first time.

In terms of interior decoration, Star Trek Epoch ET adopts a simple design style, which not only eliminates the common physical buttons, but also is very particular about the materials used. The places that can be reached by hand are basically upholstered. At the same time, the ceiling is also very luxurious with suede materials, which is enough to show that this car has a very clear understanding of the word luxury.

The new car will use a two spoke sports steering wheel, and the steering wheel also retains the design of two rollers, which greatly improves the sense of technology. These two rollers can be customized. For example, the electric adjustment of the rearview mirror can be set here, which is easy to understand.

Compared with the traditional LCD instrument panel, the instrument panel position of Star Trek Era ET is higher, which is also convenient for the driver to observe and will not be blocked by the steering wheel. In addition to the instrument cluster, the car is also equipped with HUD head up display, which also has dual insurance. When driving, the driver can clearly see the driving information of the vehicle.

The 15.6 inch 2.5K central control screen will integrate more functions, including our commonly used online entertainment, OTA upgrade, mobile phone interconnection, etc. At the same time, smart home voice based on Lion AI model can also realize 20 smart home scenarios including car home interconnection, baby mode, pet mode, karaoke mode, etc. The UI design of the car engine system is also very user-friendly, and the overall summary is also very reasonable. With a little familiarity, you can easily grasp the location of each function.

The car adopts the shift mode of gear shift, so the central channel position is released to the greatest extent, which also creates a "star moving bar". We can control the forward and backward movement of the central channel through the key options on the screen, so that we can not only expand the space, but also easily and elegantly move to the other side when the door on one side is blocked.

The seats of Star Trek Era ET are my biggest surprise. The front seats are equipped with electric adjustment, seat heating, ventilation, massage and other functions. At the same time, the co driver's seat has a one button zero gravity mode, which instantly turns into a comfortable sofa. In terms of materials, the seat is also made of Nuprima plush luxury leather fabric, which is not only comfortable to sit on, but also feels skin friendly.

In addition to the front seats, the rear seats are also very comfortable. Not only is the ergonomics of the seats more reasonable, but the rear seats also support front and rear electric adjustment and backrest electric adjustment, so that each passenger can find their own comfortable sitting posture.

Summary:

At present, the car has been officially launched, with a price range of 189800 yuan to 319800 yuan. It also offers pure electric version and extended range version. According to the information we have received from the manufacturer at present, the extended range model will receive more attention. After all, the endurance of more than 2000km is very attractive. How do you think this car performs? Does the performance of the extended version make you excited?
