The new car plan for the Starway brand, Star Era, includes a high-position model. This model, codenamed E08, debuted at this year’s Beijing Auto Show. Today, it reappears at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show.
The Xingtu Xingjiyuan E08 follows the “Aesthetics of Wind 2.0” design concept. It is the first MPV model for the future Xingtu brand. The design maintains the current Xingtu design language. It is simple and clean, emphasizing a sense of technology.
The front face features an abstract “cyber butterfly” family design. It has a large, dense trapezoidal grille that nearly fills the entire front. The curved design on both sides highlights the grille. This design enhances the three-dimensional effect of the front face.
The light group stands out as a key design feature. The large T-shaped light strip adorns the front. The LED daytime running lights have sharp angles. The upper LED lights display a “C” shape. The lower LED lights form an inverted L shape. The main lights, resembling jewels, sit in the center. They reportedly draw inspiration from Western chandeliers.
The new car uses electronic rearview mirrors. The concept car features a slim design. The black casing almost blends the mirrors with the doors.
The car’s side lines are simple. The A-pillar has a gentle angle, which is rare. The contrasting roof divides the side. The short front and rear overhangs, along with the large, smooth side doors, create a majestic stance. The estimated length of about 5.2 meters enhances the car’s sporty feel.
The new car features large, fully enclosed low-drag wheels. These wheels nearly fill the entire wheel arch. The rim design includes hexagons of varying sizes. This creates a dynamic visual effect.
The rear design exudes a strong sci-fi vibe. The lines are simple. The top wing covers most of the narrow rear window. The bumper curves inward. The overall shape feels streamlined.
The combination of four L-shaped taillights echoes the front light group. Two L-shaped LED lights feature an LED dot matrix source in the middle. When lit, this design gives the Xingtu Xingjiyuan E08 high recognition. This car still presents as a concept vehicle. However, the cabin display is not open this time. Previous information shows a strong concept vibe in the cabin. It features a no-B-pillar design and a dual-layer floating center console. The third-row seats resemble a two-person sofa. The experience in the third row may be a key focus after mass production. In summary, Xingtu continues its pursuit of high-end development. The flagship MPV targets the premium market segment. It remains a competitive space for many domestic brands. The new design and unique thematic approach of the Xingtu Xingjiyuan E08 concept car set it apart from existing MPVs. We look forward to the official mass production of this new vehicle.
