In today's growing pure electric vehicle market, more and more traditional car companies have also joined in, but while the high-end pure electric vehicle market is blooming everywhere, the main force of pure electric vehicle shipments is still in the 150,000 yuan price range.
Therefore, in order to help friends who intend to choose pure electric vehicles in this price segment, we have specially selected three pure electric cars with terminal prices of about 140,000 yuan for comparison, they are Geely Geometry A 2021 Pro Zhen Enjoy High-energy Endurance Edition 600KM A600 Cubic Edition, Chevrolet Patrol 2022 Nebula Edition and Buick Micro Blue 6 2022 InterconnectEd Intelligent PLUS, let's take a look at which of these three cars is the most suitable for you~
Appearance: Geely regular family car shape VS Chevrolet, Buick cross-border shape
In terms of appearance, the front of the Geely Geometry A Pro adopts a closed grille design, with a silver logo, so that the entire front of the car looks very advanced, and the gradient design on both sides of the intake grille at the bottom of the logo makes the front of the car look not monotonous.
Geometry A Pro's wheelbase is not short in this price segment, a full 2700mm, so the body side looks very slender, the body line is elegant and sporty, the current popular hidden door handles are also equipped, the charging interface is one in the right front fender, one in the left rear fender, respectively, support slow charge and fast charge, the design is more reasonable.
Geometry A Pro's tail design is very coordinated, although due to the cost, Geometric A Pro can not be equipped with through-type taillights, but the layout of the rear elements can be seen to be a certain effort, such as the rear of the car with a black bar to connect the two sides of the tail light, the black bar is pasted with the English name of Geely, the upper left and upper right are the brand name and model, echoing each other, visually not crowded.
Chevrolet Patrol's front end design is more tough than the geometric A Pro, looks more sporty, and the difference is that the charging interface of the Patrol is below the logo, and the logo cover (charging cover) can start fast charging; the front headlights use a through-channel design, but unlike the lightband design we saw on the Xiaopeng P7, the middle of the lights on both sides of the Patrol is connected by chrome strips.
From the side, the shape design of chevrolet parade is very different from our common car design, it is more like a crossover made of SUV + car combination; the body line is very tough, the transition angle between the front windshield and the roof is very large, which will have a certain impact on the body wind resistance, but overall it is still very sporty and aggressive.
The rear shape of the cruise can almost be said to be the same as the tail design of most compact SUVs, presumably because of the design concept of the "crossover" of the cruise. The rear of the car looks worse than the geometric A Pro, which is a bit bloated and weakens the sense of movement of the whole car.
As a model also from SAIC-GM, the shape of the Buick Micro Blue 6 and the Chevrolet Patrol are crossovers, but this does not mean that there is no obvious sense of distinction in the specific design of the two, and the Buick Micro Blue 6 gives people a softer look.
Buick micro blue 6 front as the previous two adopt a closed grille, but the difference is that it is equipped with this price segment is not common LED through the car lights, so that the front of the car looks both sleek design curve brought by the sense of elegance, but also led through the light of the sense of technology, in addition to the micro blue 6 fast charging interface is also below the logo, press the right side of the logo, you can see the charging port.
On the side, the wheelbase of the micro blue 6 is basically the same as that of the patrol, but the body line design of the micro blue 6 will look longer than the patrol because it is softer, and although the whole vehicle adopts the design concept of the crossover, its streamlined design is relatively less "logical judgment", so its appearance is more accepted by mass consumers.
The tail design of the micro blue 6 is also no different from the traditional SUV, but the cornering taillight design of the micro blue 6 makes its tail look less bloated, more three-dimensional, sporty feeling, and the arrangement of design elements is also relatively atmospheric, visually not crowded.
Performance and endurance: The Geometry A Pro rides the dust
Although the Geely Geometry A Pro looks like the most traditional family car of the three cars, its power output is stronger than that of the other two joint ventures.
Geometry A Pro is equipped with a horsepower of 204, the maximum power of 150kw, the maximum torque of 310 N· m, 100 km /100 km acceleration only needs 6.9s, whether it is starting, or overtaking acceleration, geometry A Pro performance is very sufficient.
Geometry A Pro using ternary lithium battery, battery capacity of 70.0kWh, pure electric mileage of 600km, fast charging 0.63 hours can be charged to 80%, thanks to the more hardy characteristics of ternary lithium batteries and the same level of good battery capacity, Geometry A Pro in the winter battery life performance is relatively good, followed by the first owner to provide unlimited years / mileage of the battery pack warranty, for consumers worried about battery quality problems, can be regarded as a shot of strength, put down the battery life worries.
Chevrolet Patrol and Buick Micro Blue 6 do not know whether to use the same motor, both horsepower are 177, the maximum power is 130kW, the maximum torque is 265N· m, obviously from the parameter point of view, the two compared to the geometry A Pro have a certain gap, but if you do not value the performance of friends, choose these two cars or can, because the geometric A Pro rear suspension is a worse torque beam suspension, and the patrol and the micro blue 6 are using multi-link suspension, the chassis stability is better.
Probably because of the same door, Chang Patrol and Micro Blue 6 have adopted a 61.1kWh ternary lithium battery, with a range of 518km, fast charging 0.5 hours can be charged to 80%, for commuting travel in the city, this mileage is enough, but intercity travel, the battery capacity is smaller Chang Cruise and Micro Blue 6 will be more likely to have "endurance anxiety".
In terms of battery pack warranty, Chang Patrol and Micro Blue 6 provide 8 years or 160,000 kilometers of warranty policy, compared to the first owner of the Geometry A Pro unlimited years / mileage warranty is somewhat poor, but for consumers with a replacement cycle of about 5 years, there is no difference between the battery pack warranty policy between the three.
Interior: Geometry A Pro is more technological, slightly blue 6 and free tour American luxury style
The interior design of the Geely Geometry A Pro is more minimalistic, the center console uses an "Oreo" like black and white color scheme, visually clear layering; the dashboard is not large, the size is only 5 inches, can only display a small amount of information, but we chose this version equipped with a HUD head-up display, which can focus on the HUD during daily driving.
The geometric A Pro's center control screen is the largest of the three models, with a full 12.3 inches, whether it is display navigation, or watching video and other entertainment needs, it can be well presented.
The interior design of Chevrolet Patrol is still not much different from buick micro blue 6, all take the American luxury style route, the center console, both sides of the door handle are wrapped in a large number of soft materials, visual and tactile both can have a good experience; the dashboard size is 8 inches, compared to the geometric A Pro dashboard looks more comfortable, but also can display more vehicle condition information.
Chang patrol and micro blue 6 are equipped with about 10 inches of central control screen, the car machine supports CarLife, CarPlay two kinds of mobile phone interconnection mapping system, can bring more comfortable and diverse car and machine experience.
summary
Overall, if you are a consumer who pays attention to performance, battery life and battery warranty, then geely geometry A Pro is a good choice, not only can provide excellent performance and battery life in the same price point, but also the appearance is more easily accepted by the public aesthetic than Chevrolet Cruise and Buick Micro Blue 6.
But if you pay more attention to comfort and the aesthetics of the interior, then choosing Chevrolet Patrol and Buick Micro Blue 6 is also a good choice, but if you think the appearance of Chevrolet Patrol is too tough and a little difficult to accept, the more rounded and elegant Buick Micro Blue 6 will be a more suitable choice for you.
