The second-row seats are equipped with dual armrests and are multi-angle adjustable. The third-row seats support a 4/6 split-fold and offer a maximum recline angle of 127 degrees. A total of four ISOFIX child seat interfaces are provided in the second and third rows.
The Xingguang 730 boasts 25 storage compartments. The third-row seats ingeniously feature a “magic fold” design, allowing for a versatile trunk volume transformation from 315L to 1202L by folding down the seatbacks and flipping the cushions.
Under the hood, the Starlight 730 offers three powertrain options: plug-in hybrid, pure electric, and gasoline. The plug-in hybrid variant utilises Lingxi Power 3.0, combining a 1.5L engine with a fourth-generation 10-in-1 electric motor.

The pure electric model is powered by a 100 kW (134 hp) electric motor and a 60 kWh Shenlian Battery, offering a pure electric range of 500km (CLTC). It supports 2C fast charging, enabling a 200km range boost in 15 minutes. The gasoline version is equipped with a 1.5T engine delivering a maximum power of 130 kW (174 hp), paired with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission.
