The all‑new economy sedan from Wuling, the Starlight, is slated to reach Chinese showrooms in December. This update comes from autohome.com.cn and confirms pricing starting at 93,800 yuan. At today’s exchange rate, that figure sits around 1.2 million rubles, signaling a value-focused option in a crowded segment.
Measuring 4,835 millimeters in length with a wheelbase of 2,800 millimeters, the Starlight offers a compact yet roomy footprint. Its equipment list emphasizes modern styling and convenience, featuring LED lighting and 18‑inch alloy wheels. Inside, buyers can choose between two interior color themes: a classic black and a lighter sand tone that helps brighten the cabin environment.
In China, the Starlight will be offered with a 136‑horsepower electric motor as one powertrain option. A second variant uses a hybrid configuration that pairs a 1.5‑liter gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a balance of efficiency and performance. The hybrid version is expected to reach the market first, appealing to buyers who want seamless flexibility between electric and conventional power.
Separately, attention in the electric vehicle segment has also turned to the unveiling cadence of other major players. There was coverage surrounding a high‑profile presentation where the founder of a leading electric vehicle brand introduced production cars for delivery. In the top‑tier triple‑motor all‑wheel‑drive configuration, the vehicle is projected to deliver about 845 horsepower. Pricing for this high‑performance model is presented at roughly $100,000, reflecting a premium segment within the broader EV market.
Earlier reports noted that another prominent Chinese automaker, SAIC, has begun selling the Roewe D7 EV, adding to the growing list of available electric sedans in the regional market. These developments illustrate a rapidly expanding lineup of practical electric options for mainstream buyers as automakers push toward electrification across diverse segments and price points.
