Can anyone who has test driven the power of Xingyue tell us about it?

On May 10, the long-awaited Geely Xingyue was finally officially launched. The new car launched three types: mild hybrid version (MHEV), fuel version and plug-in hybrid version (PHEV). The powered versions are named Zhiqing 300T, Zhiqing 350T and Zhiqing 400T.

The price range of the mild hybrid version (Zhiqing 300T) is: 135,800-148,800 yuan; the price range of the fuel version (Zhiqing 350T) is: 155,800-195,800 yuan. The price range of the electric version and hybrid version (Zhiqing 400T) after subsidies is: 188,800-216,800 yuan.

Leaving aside the power configuration, what attracts the most attention about this car is actually its exterior design. Although the front face has a family-style appearance design, the black car logo that is standard on all series combined with the red line ripple shape with a strong sporty atmosphere still looks very fashionable and aggressive.

The side of the car is the most popular coupe SUV shape nowadays. The back of the car slips very obviously. It is only tightened near the small duck wing at the rear of the car, combined with the black painted blade below. Type wheels and four exhausts at the rear, you can notice the car's powerful sports performance just by watching it stationary.

In terms of the interior, Geely Xingyue has also put in a lot of effort, adopting a "flying wing" layout that diverges to both sides, highlighting technology through a continuous screen design and an irregular center console. feel. The configuration is not sloppy. In addition to mainstream configurations such as a full LCD instrument panel and a three-spoke steering wheel, Xingyue has also introduced bonus items such as BOSE audio and fragrance systems to create a good luxurious atmosphere.

In terms of power, Geely Xingyue offers three power systems. Among them, the fuel-saving mild hybrid version and the green-label plug-in hybrid version both use 1.5T three-cylinders. The maximum horsepower they can produce is 177 horses and 180 horses respectively. Just the engine data of these two power versions are much better than the Haval F7x 1.5T power version that was launched earlier.

The 2.0T version that emphasizes performance and can break 100 mph in 6.8 seconds puts the Haval F7x 2.0T version and the Changan CS85 COUPE 2.0t version below it, quite a bit. The smell that beats the waves to death on the beach. Of course, you get what you pay for, and the price is slightly higher than Haval F7x and CS85.

So among the 3 power versions and 11 models, which one is more cost-effective? Here Brother Jiang feels it is necessary to make different choices for different versions. Among the mild hybrid versions - Zhiqing 300T, you should choose the RMB 148,800 Shining Star. Although it is RMB 13,000 more than the lowest configuration, it has additional configurations such as active braking, automatic headlights, A series of safe and practical configurations such as an electric tailgate.

As for the fuel version - Zhiqing 350T, Jiang Ge recommends buying the Yaoxinger with a minimum configuration of 165,800, not only because it has a series of more features than the Star Explorer, such as a variable air intake grille, High-end configurations such as paddle shifters and adaptive cruise.

It is also because Geely provided it with a free upgrade package worth 12,000 yuan, which includes four major functions: panoramic starry sky sunroof, BOSE audio, remote control and electric tailgate, which is June 30 The point of pre-order taking effect is too deep, and riders who want to buy may have to make up their minds as soon as possible. Of course, rich people who are not short of money can directly buy the AWD version of the Star Controller for 195,800, which has multiple configurations of strong power and a four-wheel drive system.

Among the plug-in hybrid versions that can get the green label - Zhiqing 400T, Brother Jiang suggested buying the Yaoxingsha version with a pure electric range of 56km and a price of 188,800. On the one hand, this is because The pure electric range of 56km is not much different from that of 80km. There is no need to spend an extra 8,000 yuan for 24km, and because its basic configuration is already sufficient for normal daily use.

However, when most consumers choose to buy Geely Xingyue, they focus more on the essential model equipped with Volvo 2.0T engine + Aisin 8AT gearbox, which can break 100km/h in 6.8 seconds. superior. After seeing it, I will compare it with the 2.0T models of Haval F7x and Changan CS85

COUPE. Xingyue does win in terms of strength, but in terms of price, it really has no advantage.

In terms of overall product strength, Geely Xingyue can indeed be regarded as the most beautiful car in this market and has very strong competitiveness. But whether the late-comer Xingyue can outperform the early-arrival Haval F7x, Changan CS85 COUPE, Kodiak GT and many other coupe SUVs will depend on the test of the market.
