Xingmaiyuan restaurant

Xingmai car series is the fourth car series of Range Rover brand, which is located between Aurora and Range Rover. After listing, it won the 20 18 World Design Fengyun Car Award, which can be said to be an SUV with a "face value".

Star Pulse used to use P380 gasoline as power, so there is no so-called flagship car performance to compete with its opponents. In February, 2065438+2009, the original factory launched a top performance version called SVAutobiography Power Edition for Xingmai automobile series, which is to compete with its rivals with its 550 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engines and other performance indicators. This top performance version was also developed by the special vehicle department of the special vehicle operation department. SVO department is responsible for the development of top-class customized cars, and provides exclusive customized services in addition to ultra-high performance cars. Its cars often emphasize the characteristics of luxury and high performance, and strive to create products that combine luxury, performance and function.

The elegant figure is still the same, but the upper body is the exclusive sports kit of SVO department.

From the appearance, Star Pulse SVA still maintains the elegant figure of the car, including black contrast suspended roof, panoramic glass roof, hidden door handle and other elements. The body size has changed slightly. The length, width and height of the car body are 4806 x 2032 x 1.677mm, and the wheelbase is 2,874mm, which is 9mm longer and 9mm wider than the ordinary car, and the height of the car is the same as that of the P380 car. Compared with competitors X3m (4,726 mm), GLC63 (4,682 mm) and Macan Turbo (2,098 mm), the star pulse SVA is the largest in its class, and it is also longer than the F-Pace SVR (4,737 mm).

In addition to the star pulse SVA has a slight advantage in appearance, there are also many SV-specific exterior and interior packages in appearance. The water tank cover is painted with exclusive black highlights and decorated with gray frames. There is an enlarged black nested air dam under the front bumper, which has enough running space and aerodynamic modeling such as downward turbulence. The original factory emphasizes that its enlarged air dam diameter can accelerate engine cooling. The LED fog lamp seat is also integrated with the black decorative material on the upper edge of the air dam. Interestingly, the nameplate "Range Rover", including the hood and the rear of the car, presents a black diamond pattern similar to a diamond and a chrome-plated frame, which shows that the star pulse SVA is different from the luxury temperament of ordinary models.

The star pulse itself is connected with a unique decorative plate makeup point at the intersection of the hood, the front fender and the front door, while the SVA model is also matched with silver and black, and the standard matrix LED active headlight group also enhances its technological experience. In addition, the star pulse SVA uses the same color decorative board on the car side, which is more stereoscopic than the general model. In the first step, the exclusive 2 1 inch 5-spoke bright dark gray aluminum ring and Pirelli Scorpion zero-performance SUV tire are adopted, equipped with red performance brake calipers, with front 395mm and rear 396mm discs.

As for the rear of the car, the star pulse SVA still maintains a quite round and elegant figure. The black diamond pattern of Range Rover, chrome-plated frame nameplate and SVO nameplate also show its difference from the general model. The most obvious is the lower edge of the rear bumper. In addition to the black piano panel paint material, it is also implanted with a rather domineering bilateral double-output rectangular tailpipe.

The interior remains luxurious and elegant, supplemented by the exquisite craftsmanship of SVO department.

Walking into the car of Star Vein SVA, the center of the car is divided into upper and lower dual-screen 10-inch Touch Pro Duo touch screen interface, with 12.3-inch all-digital instrument, which is still the scientific and technological deduction of Star Vein logo, and also opens the brand characteristics of this interface for subsequent models including Range Rover and Aurora.

After a lapse of 1.5 years, the author once again saw the interior of the star vein. Its strong British luxury and high-tech atmosphere are still fascinating. At present, Apple CarPlay and other connection functions are also standard. Star-pulse SVA model can also set many exclusive trajectory functions in "Dynamic-i" mode, but it is inevitable that the dual touch screen interface is easy to collect fingerprints and the menu operation logic is slightly complicated.

As for the exclusive configuration of Star Pulse SVA interior, in addition to the suspension gear changed to white painted and chrome-plated metal materials, the knob at the bottom of the central control screen is also chrome-plated, and even the speedometer outer frame of 12.3-inch virtual digital instrument is the same chrome-plated visual style. The steering wheel was replaced by SV exclusive leather, which added heat dissipation function and chrome-plated shift paddles. The whole vehicle also adopts SV exclusive leather interior kit, suede roof and exclusive pedal pad, which is more exquisite than ordinary models. The whole car also has a 825-watt meridian sound with good listening effect, which is close to the big brother Range Rover in workmanship and luxury.

The seat part is covered with Windsor leather with soft mesh, and the seat surface also has a unique diamond pad pattern; The 20-way electric adjustment of the double front seats also facilitates the driver to find a suitable sitting position. In addition to the functions of ventilation and heating, Star Pulse SVA also has the function of double front seat massage chair, which can release the body pressure after intense driving. The whole car is equipped with four-zone constant temperature air conditioning. In addition to the standard electric fine adjustment function of the rear seat inclination angle, the rear seat also has heating function, which shows the unique attainments of SVO car system in luxury and technology.

The same output as F-Pace SVR is 550 horses, but star pulse SVA brings different tonality.

In terms of power specification, Star Pulse SVA is a common 5.0-liter V8 supercharged gasoline engine in SVO family, which can output up to 550 horsepower at 6500 rpm and produce a maximum torque peak of 680N.m at 5500 rpm, and it is matched with an 8-speed CommandShift automatic manual transmission provided by ZF. It also has a four-wheel drive layout that actively locks the rear differential, a Terrain Response all-terrain response system, and a sports suspension with pneumatic suspension and personalized track setting mode.

As far as power output is concerned, the star pulse SVA is exactly the same as the F-Pace SVR. Although not as good as Range Rover SVR's 575, it is still higher than competitors X3 M's 480, GLC 63' s 476 and Macan Turbo's 440. On the other hand, the same set of powertrain is placed on the star pulse. Compared with F-Pace SVR, it has a strong sense of pushing back and unruly output characteristics. On the contrary, Star Pulse SVA has an elegant temperament close to Range Rover SCV8. The star pulse SVA at the beginning of the throttle is quite linear and will not make the occupants in the car lean back. In "Eco" and "comfort" modes, it has a simple and gradual acceleration response.

Of course, if you need to release the powerful power potential of Star Pulse SVA, choose "track" mode and switch the gearbox to S gear, and its 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine will often speed up quickly as long as the throttle is moderate. Moreover, although Star SVA also has an active exhaust valve similar to F-Pace SVR, the sound insulation effect of Star SVA is better and the tonality of the product tends to be comfortable, so even if the exhaust valve is opened, it is unlikely to hear the sound of exhaust back pressure in the car room, but the speed of the car is rising at lightning speed. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km announced by the original factory is 4.5 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds slower than the F-Pace SVR of the same door. The main reason is that the body size is larger and the car weighs 90 kilograms. The acceleration score measured by the test team is 4.6 1 sec, which is not far from the original factory. For a 2085 kg SUV, such performance data is actually very fast.

In terms of gearbox response, the author thinks that linear comfort is the main factor, and the upshift rhythm is bright. However, the downshift response of stepping on the accelerator is not as fast as that of BMW X3 M and other competitors. Making good use of S gear or shift paddles is easier to exert its power potential, with slightly longer braking stroke and better braking force. As mentioned above, Star Pulse SVA has endless powerful power, but both power and chassis setting tonality are very close to the big brother Range Rover SCV8. The D7a aluminum alloy body structure is rigid and solid, and the pneumatic suspension greatly eliminates the broken vibration of the road surface, especially the luxurious and quiet interior, which is its essence. The high driving posture setting of the train conductor seat makes the posture and effect of the crowd more attractive.

Although the engine, steering and gearbox can be adjusted in two stages in "Dynamic-i" mode, the suspension can also be selected in two stages: comfort/track. However, compared with the F-Pace SVR of the same door, the suspension stroke of the star pulse SVA is longer, it is indeed softer, and the steering feedback is more comfortable, but it makes the star pulse SVA have a leisurely temperament. Moreover, the author believes that the essence of this pneumatic suspension is that it can adjust the height. With the Terrain Response all-terrain response system, star pulse SVA has more margin than F-PacesSVR when facing off-road rugged terrain.

In addition to the HDC steep slope descent and uphill start assistance system, the driving assistance equipment also includes full speed domain ACC(4-segment distance adjustment/setting, speed exceeding 20km/h), LKA lane offset assistance, AEB automatic braking, BSA blind spot detection and 360-degree panoramic deployment, which are also standard configurations of the whole vehicle. Star SVA is also equipped with automatic parking assistance, which has an advantage over many opponents who need to choose the intelligent driving assistance kit separately. However, it is a pity that it does not support the maintenance of level 2 active lanes like the sports version.

Not only fast, but also elegant

To sum up, the author thinks that Star Vein SVA has higher body size and price than X3 M, GLC 63 and Macan Turbo, but in fact JLR Group has given Jaguar and Land Rover different souls on the basis of the same 5.0-liter V8 power combination, which can be said to be another achievement of "expressing their opinions".

The author thinks that the star pulse SVA brings fast but comfortable and elegant sports and excellent off-road ability, which is the charm of higher-priced products. In fact, its product positioning has no direct rivals. On the contrary, it can be said that it is the short-axis version of Range Rover SCV8 SVAutobiography Dynamic and the "little brother" of Range Rover Sport SVR. There may be a slight gap between power and luxury, but if you want to enjoy Land Rover's V8 power performance model, Star Pulse SVAutobiography Power Edition is a more intimate choice.
