Chery’s Xingtu brand SUV – 2025 Xingtu Lanyue launched a total of 4 models, of which the top model is equipped with a 6-seat version layout, the price range is 193,900 to 233,900 yuan, and the starting price is 26,000 yuan lower than the 2024 model. So, what configurations have been upgraded for the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue? How should I choose?
Looking at the standard equipment of the two generations of models, you will find the differences between the two cars. First, the transmission has changed from the previous 7-speed wet dual-clutch to the Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission; in terms of size, especially in the height of the car, the new model is 4mm taller than the old model. The entry version of the 2025 model has been replaced with 20-inch large wheels, which is larger than the 19-inch of the 2024 model. At the same time, the 2025 model has also added front and rear head air curtains, driving recorders, one-click road assistance, etc., and the driving mode has also added a new snow mode. In addition, the most worth mentioning is that even the entry version of the 2025 model has added L2-level home driving auxiliary features, and correspondingly added side blind spot images, 540-degree transparent chassis, lane centering, start reminder, Bluetooth key, 12.3-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, Huawei HiCar, steering wheel heating, mobile phone wireless charging, seat ventilation and second-row backrest adjustment functions. So it seems that the 2025 model is not only cheaper, but the most important thing is that the configuration has indeed been qualitatively improved.
2025 Xingtu Lanyue standard is the price of the two-wheel drive Xingyao version 193,900, and it is also the only two-wheel drive version of the whole system; the price of the four-wheel drive Xingyao version is 203,900 yuan, and the price difference between the two models is 10,000 yuan; the price of the four-wheel drive Xingrui version is 223,900 yuan, and the price difference between the sub-standard is 20,000 yuan.
The two-wheel drive Xingyao version uses the front-drive layout, the four-wheel drive Xingyao version uses the front-drive four-wheel drive and timely four-wheel drive power drive mode. In addition, in the driving mode, the four-wheel drive version also has an off-road mode. In addition, there are no other configuration differences between the two cars. In this way, in fact, the price difference of 10,000 yuan is very targeted. If you like off-road and love four-wheel drive more, you can buy the four-wheel drive Xingyao version; if you don’t have off-road needs, you can choose the standard two-wheel drive Xingyao version. The standard configuration is also completely sufficient.
What’s the difference between the four-wheel drive Xingyao version and the four-wheel drive Xingrui version? First of all, the power of the two cars is exactly the same. In terms of configuration, the Xingrui version has an extra radar in the front car and a camera in the car, and the number of ultrasonic radars and millimeter-wave radars is also more. In addition, functions such as reversing car side warning, parallel assistance, gesture control, in-car biological monitoring, active noise reduction, HUD, automatic anti-glare, waist support, leg drag adjustment, headrest speakers, etc., are all equipped on the four-wheel drive Xingrui version; and its second row is also equipped with seat ventilation, heating, multi-color interior ambient lights, etc. These additional configurations of the Xingrui version are not necessary, and even the standard configuration is sufficient. So if it is these two models, more recommended cheap 20,000 yuan four-wheel drive version.
The top version of Xingzun is equipped with automatic parking and automatic lane change auxiliary features, and can also be equipped with automatic driving and memory parking functions on high-speed sections. In addition, the Xingzun version is also equipped with rear side airbags, main driver knee airbags, front middle airbags, 5G network, third row seat electric adjustment and backrest adjustment, rear seat electric reclining and other configurations. In fact, the configuration that should be available on medium and large SUVs is fully configured. If you are not a consumer who often uses the third row, these configurations are not very necessary, so from the perspective of Xingrui version and Xingzun version, Xingrui version is sufficient.
Compared with the 2024 model, the 2025 model has been upgraded on the basis of lower price, showing Chery’s sincerity. (Source: Xingtu Automobile)
