GAC released the "Xingyuan Extended - Range" technology, and the extended - range version of Hyper HL was launched simultaneously, with a starting price of 269,800 yuan | The Frontline

On August 19th, GAC released the "Stellar Range Extension" technology, and the first model equipped with this technology, the Hyper HL Extended - Range version, was launched simultaneously. The new car is available in two layouts, five - seat and six - seat, with a total of 4 versions. The official guide price ranges from 269,800 to 299,800 yuan.

The "Stellar Range Extension" is the latest range - extension technology brought by GAC, featuring four major characteristics: high efficiency, energy conservation, quietness, and AI energy management.

With the application of GAC's Quark Electric Drive 2.0 version, the volume of the "Stellar Range Extension" electric drive module has been reduced by 80%, and the maximum efficiency of the electronic control can reach 99%. Certified by China Automotive Engineering Research Institute, under the 1000V high - voltage platform, the power density of the drive motor can reach 17.29kW/kg.

The "Stellar Range Extension" has also optimized the shortcomings of range - extended products in the state of low battery. Under the CLTC working condition, the measured fuel consumption of the Stellar Range Extension in an A - class sedan is as low as 3.3L/100km, and in a large SUV, it is as low as 5.3L/100km.

At the same time, GAC has also distributed the high - efficiency range of the range extender below 2500rpm to achieve low - speed power generation, thereby reducing the in - car noise caused by the range extender and optimizing the user experience.

Another highlight of the "Stellar Range Extension" technology lies in AI energy management. The range - extension system can plan the energy control strategy in advance based on traffic congestion, the distribution and availability of charging piles, and adjust the power according to the user's driving habits. While ensuring the driving experience, it can increase the overall fuel - saving rate by 15%, the pure - electric range by 15%, and the seamless engine start - stop rate by over 30%.

The first model equipped with the Stellar Range Extension technology, the Hyper HL Extended - Range version, was launched on the same day, with an official guide price ranging from 269,800 to 299,800 yuan.

The new car is equipped with a 60kWh CATL Xiaoyao Super Hybrid battery, providing the longest 350km pure - electric range in its class and a comprehensive range of 1369km.

In terms of intelligence, the new car is equipped with the new - generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, offering in - depth voice assistant dialogue and voiceprint recognition functions. The assisted driving system is standard with a lidar and an NVIDIA Orin - X chip, enabling navigation - assisted driving without high - precision maps.

The chassis configuration of the Hyper HL Extended - Range version has also been upgraded. It uses a double - wishbone front and five - link rear independent suspension, and is standard with a dual - chamber air spring and an intelligent shock absorber SDC, combining handling and comfort.

The Hyper HL Extended - Range version is the first implementation of GAC's Stellar Range Extension technology. In the future, the Stellar Range Extension will be gradually applied to new models of GAC's three self - owned brands: Hyper, Trumpchi, and Aion, meeting the diverse needs of different users.
