The distinctive through-type LED daytime running lights remain, while the sharp headlights on either side contribute to the vehicle’s dynamic and energetic look. The X-shaped design created by the fog lamp area adds a sporty touch to the overall aesthetics.
Moving to the side profile, the Starship 7 EM-i features a tough skirt line and shoulder line design, exuding a sense of strength. With dimensions measuring 4740mm in length, 1905mm in width, and 1685mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 2755mm, the car offers a spacious interior. Notably, it boasts a drag coefficient of 0.288. At the rear, the through-type taillight design enhances visibility when lit, while the hidden exhaust layout adds a touch of simplicity to the overall rear design.
