Domestic cars have attracted users with low prices and high configurations for a long time, and the brand power is basically impossible to talk about. However, with the continuous development of the domestic automobile industry in recent years, domestic brands have also begun to accumulate, and the gap between them and joint ventures is narrowing, and even some domestic cars have also explored the hinterland of joint venture cars.
With the help of Volvo's technology and CMA architecture, Geely's star series has completed the upgrade of products, Xingrui and Xingyue L are relatively higher in pricing than other models, Xingrui is priced at 11.37-15.27 million, Xingyue L is priced at 13.72-18.52 million, and the competitors directly faced by these two models are also the joint venture old guns who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Xingrui benchmarks Sagittarius, Civic, etc., and Xingyue L benchmarks Tuyue, Qijun, etc., This head-on confrontation is not a strategy often used by domestic cars. Geely can be said to be very bold this time.
However, Geely's entry angle is actually very tricky, and although Xingrui and Xingyue L are close to the joint venture in terms of pricing, they are confident in product strength. Xingrui and Xingyue L are very good in appearance, the simple and attractive Nordic design conveys a higher quality, and the straight waterfall grille coincides with the more advanced Volvo style. And the interior style also follows the same principle, simple and elegant, but not monotonous, and the sense of technology is also at the forefront.
As a compact family car, Xingrui has a body length of 4785mm, which is more slender than most competitors of the same level, and the lines are also completed in one go. And the body width of 1869mm is even wider than that of mid-level cars such as Maiteng and Accord, of course, its wheelbase has reached 2800mm, in fact, the size of the Star Rui can be completely comparable to the mainstream B-class car, and the size of the cross-level not only provides a cross-level riding space experience, but also makes the overall aura go to a higher level.
The strategy used by the Hoshikoshi L is consistent with that of The Star, and as an SUV model, its overall appearance feels stronger, more tense and powerful. The technology of the interior is even more than that of Xingrui, and the three screens of the center console run through and are integrated with the entire panel, and the visual effect presented will be more shocking, which is also rare in the field of traditional fuel vehicles.
The size of the Hoshigoe L also reached 4770/1895/1689mm, the wheelbase was 2845mm, which was larger than Tuyue, Qijun, CR-V and even Tiguan L, for a 5-seat SUV, it may be difficult to hit a more spacious and comfortable player than the Hoshikoshi L, and the space is also a proper dimensionality reduction for these joint venture opponents.
Then to the most core power system, the 2.0T turbocharged engine used by Xingrui has a maximum horsepower of 190 hp and a peak torque of 300 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The highest displacement of sagitar in the same class is 1.4T, the maximum horsepower is 150 horses, and the maximum displacement of the Civic is also 1.5T, the maximum horsepower is 182 horses, and the displacement and performance are superior.
The 2.0T engine also used by the Hoshigoku L offers two different power versions, the low-power version has a maximum horsepower of 218 hp and a peak torque of 325 Nm, and the high-power version has a maximum horsepower of 238 hp and a peak torque of 350 Nm, matching the 7-speed dual-clutch and 8AT transmission respectively. Like Xingrui, it also belongs to the best in the same class, even if the Tuyue and Tiguan L, which also use 2.0T engines, are not as good as the Tuyue 2.0T maximum horsepower is 186 hp, the peak torque is 320 Nm, and the Tiguan L 2.0T high power maximum horsepower is 220 hp, and the peak torque is 350 Nm.
Xingrui and Xingyue L have achieved product power upgrades, so even if their pricing is higher than the past Geely models, the advantage of high cost performance is irrefutable. In fact, the sales of Xingrui and Xingyue L after the listing are also soaring, and last year,000, the sales of Xingrui reached 133596, and the Sales of Xingyue L reached 53,473, and the average monthly sales of both cars exceeded 10,000.
This will not be accidental, it can be said that Geely has figured out the market law and the results of consumer preferences and needs, high value, large space, strong power, rich technology configuration, etc., the product has almost no shortcomings. And this is enough for the joint venture brand to sound the alarm bell, especially Volkswagen, at present it is still a giant in the field of domestic fuel vehicles, and Geely is the first of its own brand fuel vehicles, in the past Volkswagen may only need to beware of the same joint venture old rivals Toyota, Honda, etc., but now there is an extra Geely Star series to grab the cake, no longer as in the past just play Santana These low-end models, about 150,000 star series has actually penetrated into the back garden of Volkswagen, the most popular products Sagittarius, Langyi, Tiguan L, Tuyue and so on may be affected.
