More importantly, the starting price of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris C-DM is less than 160,000, which is a super cost-effective choice.

Appearance: The design of the fuel version is followed.

The appearance of Starway Eta Ursae Majoris C-DM basically follows the design of the fuel version, with borderless air intake grille on the front face and diamond-shaped mesh design inside, which has great visual impact. The iconic "X" daytime running lights have also been retained, and they are very recognizable after lighting.

The taillights also adopt a penetrating design, which echoes the front of the car and has a good visual effect after lighting. It is worth mentioning that the evaluation car also uses a total of four exhaust decorations on both sides, which can add a lot of sportiness to the rear of the car.

In terms of details, the evaluation car adopts a hidden door handle design, which can effectively reduce the drag coefficient. In addition, the position of the D-pillar is blackened, which can add a lot of sports atmosphere to the side. The rim of the evaluation car is designed with five spokes and two colors, and the visual effect is good. The matching tire comes from Michelin e. Lingyue, which focuses on silence and endurance. The tyre size is 245/50 R20.

Interior: Minimalist design style.

Moreover, the hand feel of the steering wheel is also very light, and even the operation of turning around in situ can be completed with only one finger. With the increase of vehicle speed, the hand feel of the steering wheel will also become heavy, which can improve the stability when driving at high speed. The initial feel of the brake pedal is sensitive, but there will be no "nodding" phenomenon, which can give you strong confidence. The evaluation car has three driving modes: economy, comfort and sports, but the difference is not big. Even in sports mode, there is no strong sense of pushing back, and the overall comfort is the main one.

The evaluation vehicle is equipped with flying fish extrasensory chassis, including CDC electromagnetic suspension system, chassis hydraulic vibration isolation system and intelligent brake-by-wire system. The performance of this flying fish super-sensing chassis is consistent with that of the fuel version. It filters the bumps and bumps of the road very well and has high riding comfort. Moreover, this chassis also has good lateral support and can give you strong confidence when cornering at high speed, which has a great advantage in its class.
