The Xingtu Lanyue(from Chery) will be officially launched on April 9, 2023, and its price range will be between 193,900 and 233,900 yuan. The interior of the new Xingtu Lanyue has undergone significant upgrades and boasts a tech-savvy design. The car is built with the M3X Mars architecture 2.0, fitted with a 2.0T engine, and an Aisin 8AT gearbox. It is still positioned as a medium and large SUV, with three rows of seats and outstanding spatial performance.
In terms of appearance, the new Lanyue resembles the 2022 model with minimal changes. The headlight group is split, with sharp headlights on both sides that merge with through-type light strips. The center grille features a straight waterfall structure, and vertical LED light group vents are embedded on either side. The vehicle’s front remains dominant and heavy in appearance.
The new Xingtu Lanyue boasts a tough image, with a large-block arrangement design on the body’s side and a straight waistline that extends to the rear. Chrome-plated strips adorn the windows, enriching the block surface. The rear glass features privacy glass, and the details are meticulous. The through-type blackened taillight group and dual exhaust outlets remain, while champagne gold decorative strips and black plaques slightly elevate the rear enclosure. The car’s length, width, and height measure 4970mm, 1940mm, and 1792mm, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. It supports a flexible 6- or 7-seater layout, with the largest third-row space in its class.
Inside, the central control retains its T-shaped layout, while a built-in triple screen design of a full LCD instrument panel, central control multimedia display, and co-pilot display replaces physical buttons. NAPPA leather seats with parametric perforation and personalized quilting adorn the car, with a seat configuration at the first-class level. Ventilation/heating/massage functions and 5 modes of back massage feature in the seat cushions and backrests of the main driver and queen passenger, while the Lion Melody 23-speaker audio system, driver’s headrest speaker function, and ANC active noise reduction technology provide a palace-level 3D surround listening experience.
The car has a built-in 8155 chip, and the seat layout adds a six-seater model, with additional functions such as front seat ventilation/heating/massage, queen co-driver, second-row seat ventilation/heating, third-row seat electric folding, ANC active noise reduction, and dual 50-watt wireless charging in some models.
Powered by a 2.0T engine, the new Xingtu Lanyue provides a maximum power of 192kW and peak torque of 400N m, coupled with an Aisin 8-speed automatic manual transmission system. The facelift has also replaced the criticized 7DCT gearbox, increasing the car’s competitiveness. Its space size and power configuration make Lanyue a high-cost performance flagship model of Xingtu, with competitors such as Highlander and Crown Road.
In addition, the new Xingtu Lanyue has also made great improvements in terms of safety technology. The car is equipped with a full range of ADAS driving assistance systems, including lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and other functions. The car is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image system, which can provide drivers with a more comprehensive view of the surroundings, making driving safer and more convenient.
Overall, the new Xingtu Lanyue is a significant upgrade from the previous model, with improvements in technology, design, and safety. It is positioned as a medium-to-large SUV with a spacious and luxurious interior, a powerful engine, and advanced safety features. With a competitive price range, it is expected to be a strong competitor in the SUV market.
