The past 2021 has been a not peaceful year for major automakers, in the face of repeated epidemics, global lack of cores, the overall environment of the auto market declined, and the intelligent transformation intensified a series of impacts, many car companies in 2021 sales have been reduced to varying degrees. How to stand out in the competition of the future automobile market has become a common problem for major car companies.
As the leader in its own brands, Geely Automobile gave its answer. Recently, the Internet exposed Geely's future new car plans. According to the breaking news, in the future, Geely will make full efforts in major market segments such as fuel, pure electric, and hybrid, and at the same time, in order to completely solve the global core shortage problem and provide hardware guarantee for intelligent development, Geely will also launch its own vehicle-grade chips.
Further enrich the CMA model matrix
First of all, in the field of fuel vehicles, the CMA architecture, as a new basic module architecture jointly created by Geely and Volvo, has been adopted in many models such as Lynk & Co and Volvo. At present, geely models based on the CMA platform are only three models, Xingyue, Xingyue L and Xingrui, and in the future, the CMA architecture will be further expanded on Geely models.
According to Geely Automobile's plan, a new compact SUV will be launched in 2022, which will be built on the CMA platform and will be comparable in size to the current Boyue. The outside world speculates that the new car may also be a new generation of Boyue, and Boyue, as Geely's best-selling car series in the SUV market, will be greatly enhanced after the CMA platform.
In addition, in terms of power, the current Boyue is still equipped with a 1.8T engine, referring to the competitors Haval H6 and Changan CS75PLUS have a choice of 1.5T and 2.0T, it is expected that Geely's new car will also use 1.5T+ 7DCT and 2.0T + Aisin 8AT powertrain. Among them, the 2.0T engine, like the Star-Etsu L, uses Volvo Homologous 2.0T to enhance product competitiveness.
Thor Power is fully rolled out
Since the advent of BYD's DM-i super hybrid system, it has brought a wave of hybridism in China, and its momentum far exceeds that of Japanese hybrids. At the end of last year, Geely Automobile also launched its own hybrid system - Lei Shen Zhi Qing Hi · X, the first model equipped with this hybrid system, the Hoshigoku L Thor Hi · The X oil-electric hybrid version also opened pre-sale at the end of last year and is expected to be officially listed in the first half of this year.
From the actual performance, equipped with Thor Hi · X Hybrid System Star-Over L Thor Hi · The X oil-electric hybrid version only consumes 4.3L per 100 kilometers, and even set a limit of 1400km for a tank of oil, and the fuel-saving performance far exceeds that of the Japanese hybrid.
And this year, Geely will also launch a hybrid model of Xingrui, with The Star-Over L Thor Hi · X oil-electric hybrid version is different, The hybrid model of Xingrui will be a plug-in hybrid that can be green card. It is reported that the Xingrui hybrid model will have a pure electric mileage of 200km, and has an ultra-low fuel consumption performance of 4.3L/100km, and the maximum cruising range under full fuel is as high as 1300km. It can be said that from Geely testing the water on the "fist product" Xingyue L to the Xingrui carrier, it has further enriched its product layout and shown consumers the strength to call "two fields" head-on.
In terms of new energy vehicles, this year Geely will launch a modified geometry A, a modified geometry C, a new hybrid vehicle and a small electric vehicle with a guidance price of less than 100,000 yuan, of which the proportion of models equipped with Raytheon hybrid will increase to 30%-50% in 2022.
The 7nm car specification chip is the trump card
For Geely, which aims to lead intelligence in an all-round way, if it wants to truly get rid of the impact of the lack of cores currently faced by global car companies, Geely must quickly accelerate the road of self-developed chips.
It is reported that at present, the self-developed vehicle specification chip of Geely Core Qing Technology has reached 7nm process, which is officially called "Dragon Eagle No. 1", which will achieve mass production in the third quarter of this year, and be applied to Geely Xingrui, Xingyue L and a number of popular models under the Lynk & Co brand for the first time.
Next, Geely will be able to fully provide all the core processor chips from the traditional automotive electronic architecture to the next generation of intelligent networked automotive electronic architecture, including "smart cockpit chip, automatic driving chip, and on-board cpu system chip" three product lines.
At the same time, in Geely's future imagination, around 2025, it will successively launch 5nm on-board integrated supercomputing platform chips, plus high-computing automatic driving chips, with a computing power of 256TOPS, fully supplying L3 intelligent driving hardware, highlighting Geely's intention to achieve global leadership in the field of future autonomous driving.
Write at the end:
Sales data shows that geely automobile sales reached 1.328 million units in 2021, while geely automobiles gave a sales target of 1.65 million units this year. It is believed that with the addition of new models and the impact of the chip crisis, sales will surely usher in a substantial increase.
