The Wuling Starlight (Chinese: 五菱星光; pinyin: Wǔlíng Xingguang) is a mid-size sedan that is manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) since 2023 under the Wuling brand.

Overview

In August 2023, SGMW, through Wuling, introduced its first large family passenger car, the Starlight 4-door sedan. The car's design features sharp lines and a slim silhouette with a low roofline. The rear of the vehicle is adorned with large, arched lighting, while the styling of the front fascia varies depending on the drive variant. The basic electric model is equipped with double-row headlights that showcase a distinctive boomerang motif in the upper lampshade.[2]

The passenger cabin has been kept in light colors, with a focus on providing as many storage compartments and free spaces as possible. The center console is dominated by a large touch screen designed to control the most important vehicle functions. There are air vents low down, right at the edge of the center tunnel. The car can accommodate 33 litres (1.2 cu ft) of items in 14 different compartments throughout the cabin.[3]

The Starlight was created for the domestic Chinese market, where it officially debuted in autumn 2023. The company's two plants in China are set to produce the model line, and the price of the basic electric variant starts at 150,000 yuan.[4]

In addition to the battery electric variant, the Starlight was also created in a hybrid version. Visually, it has gained a different front fascia with an air intake hidden in the body structure, a more vertically cut bumper and a differently shaped upper row of LED lighting.
