If it comes to independent car brands, it seems difficult to associate it with the term luxury or high-end, but with the continuous development of independent brand models, it is only a matter of time for the high-end market, and now in addition to the red flag, which is born with its own halo of the car brand, Geely has also begun to test, Lynk & Co is the best example, but Lynk & Co is still an independent sub-brand, and the positioning of the brand itself is relatively high-end. And now Geely's models have also begun to enter, such as the model to be introduced today, Geely Xingyue L, the actual model is the 2021 2.0TD DCT EVO two-wheel drive flagship, the guidance price is 165,200.
The design of Hoshigoshi L in the appearance gives people a different feeling, although it continues Geely's latest family design language, but the overall route is indeed calm. The design of the front face is still quite three-dimensional, which not only benefits from the design of its lines, but also comes from its straight waterfall type grid grid, and adds chrome materials to embellish, while creating a strong aura. The interior of the headlight group has been blackened, the overall structure is very exquisite, the upper and lower three-stage daytime running lights have a good recognition, and the matrix type far and near light is adopted, which supports automatic headlights and adaptive far and near light. The front bracket has a good sense of heaviness, with a through-grid design and a multi-banner structure.
The proportion of the body on the side is still very coordinated, the through-type waist line design highlights the visual center of gravity of the body higher, while the rear row adopts a privacy glass design, and the waist line of the wheel arch is very obvious, adding a sense of strength, but also adds a plastic wheel eyebrow, which plays a role in rubbing and scratch resistance. Although the car is a compact SUV, the body size is also close to the mid-size SUV, the length, width and height are 4770/1895/1895mm, the wheelbase is 2845mm, and the car is equipped with a set of 20-inch five-spoke petal style wheels, the shape design of the rim ensures a certain sense of luxury, there is a touch of sports.
In comparison, the design of the entire rear of the car is much simpler, adding the current popular through-type taillight design, and the contour of the taillight is integrated with the body line, the integrity is much better, and the middle of the taillight also uses a penetrating chrome trim, which is divided into two, reflecting the sense of layering, plus the exquisite design of the taillight, which is full of technology after lighting. The rear bracket echoes the front bracket with a penetrating grille design with a tough spoiler at the bottom and a hidden exhaust.
Entering the car, the contrast between the interior design and the appearance is not large, there is still a sense of luxury, and the three large LCD screens will reflect the sense of technology in the car to the fullest, and it can also be very attractive. What is more interesting is the color of its interior, the standard of the whole series is the combination of brown + white, and the more stunning black + blue needs to be optional, and a large area of leather wrapping is used on the material, which is still very luxurious.
The steering wheel is also wrapped in leather, using a two-color collocation design, this design technique can best reflect the sense of luxury, the steering wheel as a whole is still very full, the feel is soft and hard moderate, not too good, in addition to the multi-function buttons there is no other function. The full LCD instrument is actually nothing to introduce, the size is 12.3 inches, the style design of the interface is simple, the function display content is also very rich, the delicate effect is still quite pleasing, the only slot point is that the menu level is too much, can not intuitively view the car condition information.
The LCD screen at the central control screen and the entertainment screen in the co-pilot's place adopt a joint screen design, and the direct panel covers all aspects, including the air conditioning outlet on the right side, which is very integrated. First of all, the central control screen, the size of 12.3 inches, in addition to the delicate display effect, worthy of praise is its car machine system, the response is very sensitive, there is no caton phenomenon, the functionality is also very rich, support for most of the current mainstream functions, but also support OTA upgrades. The entertainment screen in front of the co-driver is more conventional, in addition to the entertainment function, you can also control the audio-visual entertainment system in the car.
The vehicle configuration is also undoubtedly rich, the passive safety system provides 6 in the number of airbags in the whole car, and supports the tire pressure display, and the active safety is equipped with all the mainstream functions currently on the market, but there is no fatigue driving reminder, which is a bit unreasonable. Assisted driving provides front-rear parking radar, 360° panoramic imagery, reversing side warning and full-speed adaptive cruise, although automatic parking is also available.
The shape of the seat is designed to be more unique, the same use of two-color collocation design techniques, the use of stitching will outline its very high sense, the seat as a whole looks very thick, wrapped in imitation leather material, the comfort of sitting up is praiseworthy, and the front seat in addition to double electric adjustment also supports seat heating and seat ventilation. There is no difference in the style of the rear seats, and the length of the cushions also has a good support for the legs, but the padding of the backrest is a bit hard, but it is also within the acceptable range.
The performance in the riding space is still relatively outstanding, the height of the experiencer is 175cm sitting in the front row, the head space is still 1 punch and 2 fingers, and the most spacious leg in the back row also has more than 2 punches of space, and the head space remains at 1 punch only, which is difficult to find an opponent in the same level. However, there is still a certain bulge in the middle of the rear floor, which has a little impact on comfort, but it is also acceptable, and it also has a panoramic skylight with a lighting area of 0.8 square meters, which is still very impressive.
Equally outstanding is the space in the trunk, the design is very regular, and the top of the partition design, although its rear seats are reclined after a certain angle, but it does not have much impact, at least in the face of large objects will not be confused.
The car's power system is still worth mentioning, after all, it is also nominally using Volvo's T4 engine, but the code name has been changed to JLH-4G20TDJ, with a maximum power of 160kW (218Ps), a peak torque of 325N·m, matching a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission, this powertrain makes it very easy to drive, especially in the performance of low torque, very good, and the smoothness of the transmission is of course impeccable, with a very positive shift logic. Although there is no blessing of the four-wheel drive system, the two-wheel drive is completely sufficient for urban commuting, and the suspension adopts the combination of the front McPherson and the rear multi-link, and the tuning is still biased towards comfort, creating a very comfortable driving experience.
In general, in the Star Yue L this car can be seen Geely's progress, into the high-end market is only a matter of time, and the star more L itself is also very strong, with a cross-level performance, although the price is relatively firm, but at least worthy of this price, but the good reputation or the user to decide, I believe that the star more L will also have a good sales performance.
