With a budget of 140,000 cars, most people will choose a joint venture A-class car, right? For example, FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius, GAC Toyota Leiling, Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi, Dongfeng Honda Civic, etc., However, these cars in addition to The Link to provide 1.8L dual engine models, the rest of the models are equipped with small displacement engines, just like 1.5T for civic, 1.4T for Sagitar, 1.6L for Xuanyi, and I have high requirements for power output, do not want to compromise with the brand and power, after a lot of comparison and test drive, I chose Geely Xingrui, for only one reason, that is, it is equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine, and this engine is also inextricably linked to Volvo. So, I became the owner of the Star Ray.
While enjoying the abundant power output of Xingrui, it also produced some "small troubles", such as the fuel consumption of this 2.0T engine is not low, my apparent fuel consumption is 9.0L/100km, and I also have to add No. 95 gasoline, which increases fuel costs. Its 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission is a bit frustrating at low speeds, and the smoothness is not perfect. Another point, I don't know whether it is an individual case or a common phenomenon, my Xingrui car machine is a bit stuck, it is said that it can be optimized through the later OTA upgrade. In addition, I feel that the tire noise of Xingrui is not small, which affects the overall quietness, I think this is because it is equipped with 225/45 R18-inch Goode Xantha F1 series tires, this tire emphasizes grip and performance, does not pay attention to quietness.
Some time ago, I went to a different place to play with my friends, he drove a GAC Toyota Ralink dual engine to pick me up, a question price, and my Xingrui is similar. On the road, I was impressed by Leiling, I felt that my friend drove this car to speed up very quickly, subjectively felt, not slower than Xingrui, and it drove very quietly, let me once suspect that my friend was driving a Leiling double engine E+, because the tranquility of new energy vehicles does have an advantage over fuel vehicles, but friends told me that this is an ordinary Leiling double engine model, hanging is a blue card. I asked my friend about fuel consumption again, and the answer was that it was more than 4 oils per 100 kilometers, which was more than half lower than my Xingrui. I couldn't help but wonder: Was my choice wrong?
Too much to actually experience the Leiling Double Engine, in the subsequent trip, it was all driven by me. I know that Leiling provides the three major powers of double modeling, originally only understood the 1.2T model and the 1.5L model, and did not have a deep understanding of the dual engine model, just take this opportunity to feel it. The powertrain of The Ralink Dual Engine is composed of a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine + electric motor + battery pack + E-CVT transmission, in which the maximum power of the engine is 98 hp, the maximum torque is 142 Nm, the maximum power of the electric motor is 72 hp, and the maximum torque is 163 Nm. Thanks to the blessing of the motor, its power output surprised me, starting and speeding up very briskly, without the feeling of procrastination, faster than I thought. When it is necessary to speed up, the motor intervenes very quickly, producing a very crisp and direct feeling, and there is no sense of frustration, which is quite flattering. When I encountered severe congested road conditions, walking and stopping and following the car were quite easy things, without any discomfort.
Leiling Shuangqing also supports remote air conditioning, before getting on the car, you can turn on the air conditioner in advance through your mobile phone, so that you don't have to endure cold or heat when you get on the car, it is still very smart, and it also reverses my understanding of Toyota cars. It is also equipped with toyota Safety Sense Safety Kit (Toyota Collision Avoidance Assist), which monitors the vehicle's driving status and surrounding traffic participants in real time through millimeter-wave radar, cameras and other devices. It is also equipped with a total of 8 airbags for the main airbag, sub-airbag, knee airbag, seat cushion airbag, front side airbag (left and right) and curtain airbag (left and right), plus a high rigidity GOA body and TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, which comprehensively protects the safety of personnel in the car through the active and passive safety system. Functionally, Leiling is equipped with the "Fengyun Yuexiang" vehicle interconnection system, which supports intelligent voice control vehicles, intelligent interconnection, car home interconnection and other functions. I knew it was comprehensive in configuration and functionality, but I didn't expect it to be so comprehensive.
Thanks to the 4640 * 1780 * 1455mm of Ralink Dual Engine and the wheelbase of 2700mm, its interior space is very spacious, the rear row can easily the legs of the Erlang, and the comfort of the seat is also good, the body and thighs have good support, sitting on it will not feel very tired. The chassis is a "four-wheel solo suspension" structure of the front McPherson rear double wishbones (E-type multi-link), compared to the non-independent rear suspension of the torque beam of the previous model, the new Leiling based on the TNGA-C platform has finally been replaced by a double wishbones, improving the dynamic driving texture and bringing a dynamic and comfortable chassis texture.
Through the actual feelings of these days, the performance of GAC Toyota Leiling in all aspects has impressed me, and I can't help but regret that Geely Xingrui bought it early. So, what do you think about Geely Xingrui and GAC Toyota Leiling?
