On August 27th, StarDrive announced the launch of a new model, originally named StarDrive TXL, now renamed to StarDrive Lingyun 400 T. This name was chosen after a naming campaign and the model is priced at 157,900 – 179,900 yuan.
The model is based on the original StarDrive TXL but has an upgraded high-power 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 192 kW and maximum torque of 400 N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and BorgWarner AWD four-wheel drive system.
The car is built on the M3X Mars architecture and features a dual central console with two 12.3-inch screens, equipped with the lion 4.1 smart system and the first ACRN virtualization system based on Intel. The system is equipped with a 4-core 2.0GHz processor and 12 SONY high-fidelity speakers.
The system also supports personalized customization for drivers through face recognition and voiceprint recognition, accurately adjusting the driving position, rearview mirror position, music, and navigation settings. The intelligent voice recognition system can accurately identify multiple intentions, fuzzy language and long instructions. It has already reached the average level of new energy vehicle companies in the field of automotive intelligence.
There are many highlights in OTA upgrades, with this car already having FOTA remote intelligent upgrade functionality. It supports power upgrades, communication network upgrades, entertainment upgrades, and intelligent driving upgrades with nearly a hundred functions upgraded in the nine major categories. It is equipped with Bosch’s latest 9.3 version of the ESP, and 22 ADAS driving assistance systems.It’s not enough to judge a car simply by looking at the configuration sheet. We’ll have to wait until we have the physical car and conduct a test to determine if it’s truly powerful, or if it’s just packing a bunch of fancy technology.
Both electric and gasoline-powered cars are moving towards intelligent technology. This means that traditional gasoline car makers must strive to develop smart cars while maintaining the stability and reliability of their vehicles. Although this is a difficult task, we can see the future of intelligent technology in gasoline cars, as evidenced by this vehicle.
