On September 26, the Xingtai Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive launched. The new car offers two versions: the Ultra Long Range Pro four-wheel drive and the Ultra Long Range Max four-wheel drive. The official price ranges from 199,900 to 219,900 yuan (31370$). It features a new energy design, the Snow Leopard four-wheel drive system, an upgraded Flying Fish chassis 2.0, and L2.9 advanced intelligent driving. This model leads the technological transformation in the new energy era and signals a rise in the value of high-end hybrid models.
The overall design of the Xingtu Yaoguang C-DM matches the current fuel version. It uses the Atlantis Light Aesthetics 2.0 design language, aligning with modern aesthetics. The “X” shaped front and 328 LED daytime running lights combine for a sleek look. The lines flow smoothly, resembling a ready-to-launch starship filled with futuristic technology. The rear features dual-layered wings that reduce drag effectively. The interior draws inspiration from the ocean, showcasing the grandeur of nature.
The Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive uses “full-domain hybrid” technology. It features the powerful Snow Leopard four-wheel drive architecture. This system includes a unique four-engine layout. It has four power sources that can drive simultaneously: the Chery fifth-generation 1.5TGTI hybrid engine, which employs deep Miller cycle technology for optimal fuel efficiency and minimal noise. The P2 and P2.5 motors drive a three-speed DHT. This setup amplifies torque and allows for simultaneous driving, generating power, and energy recovery. The rear P4 motor uses an industry-leading integrated three-in-one design, combining the controller, motor, and reducer. This design offers strong power, stable system operation, and higher energy efficiency.
The Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive features the upgraded Flying Fish chassis 2.0. The Flying Fish flaps its wings 1,046 times per minute and adjusts its posture freely in the air. It scans road conditions in milliseconds and collects 1,000 sensor data points per second. This allows real-time adjustments to damping stiffness. The Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive includes six major systems: upgraded CDC electromagnetic variable damping shock absorbers, rear suspension, steering system, braking system, chassis hydraulic isolation system, and noise-reducing tires. It balances comfort and handling. It enhances driving pleasure while improving comfort by 5%, steering precision by 20%, and braking capability by 4%. It starts smoothly, brakes steadily, turns without leaning, and absorbs bumps effectively. The CDC electromagnetic suspension is the soul of the Flying Fish chassis. This exclusive tuning reduces body roll during turns or lane changes. It offers more stable handling and greater comfort. Additionally, the Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive features a rear suspension upgraded to an all-aluminum H-arm multi-link design. This reduces unsprung weight by 50 kg, equivalent to a 500 kg reduction in overall vehicle weight. Stability improves by 10%, and comfort increases by 20%. Paired with CDC shock absorbers, it achieves superior handling performance compared to its class.
In smart driving, the Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive features L2.9 advanced smart driving. It includes cutting-edge ultrasonic sensors, dedicated chips, and high-definition cameras. The system supports 32 smart driving functions, covering 90% of daily driving scenarios. For highways and urban expressways, the NOC high-speed navigation uses high-precision map information. It can automatically navigate from toll station to toll station. In parking situations, the Yaoguang C-DM electric four-wheel drive offers remote parking, automatic parking, memory parking, and path-following reverse functions.
The Yaoguang C-DM electric all-wheel drive system delivers a total motor power of 340 kW. The system achieves a combined power of 455 kW and a peak torque of 920 N·m. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.26 seconds. For range, the Yaoguang C-DM features a CATL M3P hybrid battery. It offers an electric range of 200 kilometers and a combined range of 1,400 kilometers. The fuel consumption is 6.6 L per 100 kilometers when the battery is depleted.
Overall, the Yao Guang C-DM electric four-wheel drive excels in technology, versatility, and safety. It meets the demands of comfort and handling in the high-end hybrid SUV market. This vehicle aims to reshape the 400,000-level hybrid market. For the Xingtu brand, the launch of the Yao Guang C-DM electric four-wheel drive shows significant progress in technical strength. It marks another major breakthrough in the hybrid SUV field. We believe this new car will energize the hybrid four-wheel drive market and offer consumers better choices.
