Aesthetics is advanced to beauty, and the morning is just red.
Xingjiyuan ES 2025 has undergone a refreshing and advanced upgrade in aesthetics. The full and warm new "Dawn Red" car color comes from a new generation of paint system platform — PWB nano-colorful series water-based paint has achieved super-high color saturation, delicate and strong liquid metal texture, and the visual effect and wear resistance have reached the leading level.
Compared with the common varnish on the market, the nano-ceramic varnish used in "Dawn Red" has improved scratch resistance by five times, and can ensure that it will not change color or fade for eight years. Different from the traditional process, "Dawn Red" is made by 9-layer painting process, adding a layer of nano-ceramic varnish and a layer of targeted metal coating, which makes the car body feel delicate and uniform through layer-by-layer superposition.
Against the backdrop of "Dawn Red", Star Age ES won three international modeling awards, namely, the MUSE Award in 2023 in the United States, the iF Award in 2024 in Germany and the A Award in 2024 in Italy. The design of "wind aesthetics" is more elegant and dignified, especially the electric tail wing that controls the wind as standard in the whole department, as well as the "talking" lights equipped with 1200 high-power LEDs and 11 kinds of intelligent scenes. On the stage of the conference, it was compared with the piano player Wan.
Intelligent driving leads future travel.
Adhering to the principle of "Xingjian intelligent driving into the first echelon, making the journey easier!" Today, with the increasing trend of new energy intelligence, Star Age ES will bring a higher level of intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit experience through continuous OTA upgrade, and always meet the needs of users for intelligent software and hardware.
In the aspect of intelligent driving, Star Age ES adopts the fusion scheme of laser radar and high-definition camera sensor, with 508Tops high computing power NVIDIA chip, and uses BEV＋+to occupy the network, upgrade perception and fuse large models to further improve perception performance. And the whole vehicle is equipped with 30 high-performance sensors, providing 360 safety warning and collision avoidance capabilities, supporting the coverage of high-speed, urban and parking scenes. At high speed, it is a sharp weapon for inter-city communication, which supports automatic access to ramps, navigation lane changes and intersection diversion and confluence, and can intelligently avoid trucks and construction scenes; In the city, he is a car driver, who can cope with many complex driving needs such as traffic lights, unprotected left turn, traffic around the island, lane change overtaking and U-turn, and realize point-to-point full scene coverage; Facing parking, it can also free users’ hands, which can not only achieve side space parking and cross-floor memory parking, but also easily cope with narrow parking spaces and broken roads. At present, two cities, Shanghai and Wuhu, have opened the auxiliary function of urban navigation, and the city 20+ will be opened this year, covering the whole country next year.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, Xingyue ES is equipped with the Galaxy AI intelligent cockpit empowered by a large model, which has the communication ability closer to human natural language, stronger learning ability and interactive content generation ability. For example, the AI ? ? car assistant can quickly solve various car problems for users through dialogue; AI secretary can use the big model to record and intelligently summarize Bluetooth calls, establish schedule reminders and avoid work omissions. In addition, there are AI sound reproduction and AI wheat-free K songs, which bring more personalized and interesting experiences for users to travel. Moreover, the whole system comes standard with UWB entity key+mobile phone key, which realizes keyless entry, startup and accurate vehicle positioning, and also has convenient functions such as watch control, navigation and car search. Through continuous OTA upgrade and software optimization, Star Age ES provides consumers with smoother driving experience, smarter speech recognition, more friendly human-computer interaction and more comfortable driving experience.
Super security interprets the true nature of luxury
Star Road Star Era adheres to the concept of "safety is the greatest luxury", and strictly controls every link from design to manufacturing, from materials to technology, from testing to verification in accordance with the world’s highest five-star safety industry standard and customer-oriented car-making concept, striving to provide consumers with the safest and most reliable automobile products.
In terms of car body structure, Xingjiyuan ES adopts cage capsule 2.0 high-performance car body, and the proportion of high-strength steel in the whole car body is increased from 85% to 88%. The mixed structure of high-strength steel, thermoformed steel and aluminum alloy is in the same class, and the torsional stiffness of the car body is increased from 42,600 N m/deg to 46,000 N m/deg. In terms of restraint system, Star Age ES comes standard with 7 airbags, all of which are designed with a super-large volume of 125 liters, which can protect the co-driver. At the same time, the length of the side air curtain reaches 2368mm, with 100% full coverage protection from the A-pillar to the D-pillar. The over-long crushing stroke of the steering column is twice that of the industry standard, and the larger area provides more comprehensive protection for the occupants in the vehicle. In addition, Star Age ES is equipped with emergency mechanical inner opening handle, which can also escape from danger through mechanical operation when the vehicle door cannot be opened when it is powered off.
In the super-high-speed 120km/h three-car collision test, the passenger compartment was intact after the two-car collision, and the A, B and C columns did not fail structurally. The airbag curtain explodes in time and unfolds normally; The high-voltage system automatically cuts off power, and the battery pack has no displacement, no leakage, no smoke, no fire and no explosion. The excellent performance fully proves the safety quality of Xingyue ES.
Recently, in the latest test results of C-NCAP, Xingjiyuan ES won the five-star safety certification and obtained the C-NCAP "electrical safety" logo, far exceeding the average value of C-NCAP 2021 code version test.
