The SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) joint venture, through its Wuling Motors brand, has officially unveiled the latest addition to the Xingguang (Starlight) family, the Xingguang 560, at the ASEAN International Auto Show in Nanning, Guangxi Province, China. This new SUV comes in four variants, with prices ranging from 59,800 to 98,800 Chinese Yuan (approximately $8,000 to $13,000 USD).
The Xingguang 560 boasts dimensions of 4,745 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width, and 1,755/1,770 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,810 mm, positioning it firmly in the D-segment SUV category.

Exterior-wise, the Xingguang 560 features a boxy design reminiscent of Mitsubishi vehicles, particularly in the front fascia. The front-end design varies depending on the powertrain. Gasoline and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions sport a honeycomb grille with black accents around the headlights and lower air intakes, while the pure electric (EV) variant has a closed grille for a sleeker, more cohesive look.

It is equipped with a dual 12.8-inch screen setup, comprising a digital instrument cluster and a central touchscreen infotainment system running Wuling’s Ling OS.

The Xingguang 560 offers both 5-seater and 7-seater configurations. The front seatbacks can recline fully, creating a seamless resting space with the second row. The second-row seats can recline up to 128 degrees, ideal for long journeys. The rear seats fold in a 40:60 split, expanding the cargo area or accommodating longer items.

Under the hood, the Xingguang 560 offers three powertrain options. The first is the Lingxi Power 3.0 plug-in hybrid system, combining a 1.5L gasoline engine with a 43.2% thermal efficiency and a fourth-generation 10-in-1 electric motor. The PHEV variant consumes 5.3 L/100 km when the battery is depleted, with an all-electric range of 125 km (CLTC). With a full tank and battery, it achieves a total range of 1,100 km.
The EV version features a 100 kW (134 hp) electric motor, a 60 kWh Shenlian battery, a 500 km range (CLTC), and energy consumption of 13.6 kWh/100 km. It supports 2C fast charging, adding 200 km of range in just 15 minutes.
The final option is a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder gasoline engine, delivering 174 hp and 290 Nm of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission.
