Overview

Rear view

The Xingchen was released on the April 2021 Auto Shanghai as part of Wuling's model offensive among regular passenger cars.[1] It is built on the same platform as the Baojun 530.[2]

The design of Xingchen follows the style of Victory minivan, with a trapezoidal grille with a wing motif,[3] and boomerang-shaped LED lighting. In addition, like the Victory, the Xingchen is equipped with a silver corporate logo for the global model range.[4]

The Xingchen is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre LJO four-cylinder engine producing 108 kW (145 hp; 147 PS). The engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission with eight pre-programmed gear ratios.[5]

After the Victory, the Xingchen is the second model designed for global markets. Firstly, its sale began on the domestic Chinese market, with plans to start sales in export countries in 2022.[6]
