Focus on new energy vehicle information and shopping guide
concern
In recent years, BYD has risen strongly by ev+PHEV's green car lineup, Great Wall Tank/WEY has gained a firm foothold in the field of high-end cars, Chery Automobile's export volume is still far ahead, and the respective main manufacturers are "inner-rolled" strongly.
In this context, Geely Automobile in 2022 will also throw out the latest "king fried combination", both the historic "error correction" of three cylinders for four cylinders, and the H·iX series for high-end cars, adding bricks and tiles to the 2022 sales target of 1.62 million units.
The new Geely Binrui
Before the emergence of Xingrui, the main quality experience and cost-effective Binrui is one of the most successful A-class cars of the Geely brand, with the exposure of the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the classic "grocery shopping car" of this CMA platform is also about to usher in a mid-term change, positioned between Emgrand and Xingrui, the price probability is still around 100,000.
Judging from the declaration chart, the new Binrui is somewhat similar in design to the Emgrand L (sister car) listed at the end of last year, which is officially called the "energy storm" design language, the open front grille size is further enlarged, the two side headlight styles are also more sharp, and the front face looks more visually impactful.
Because it is the main sports style, the rear of the new car is also heavily integrated with blackened elements, with an oval bilateral exhaust layout, the sense of combat is full.

More importantly, in terms of power, the new Binrui finally eliminated the weak 1.4T engine (electronic injection) and 1.5T engine (three-cylinder) and instead equipped with the newly developed BHE15-EFZ 1.5T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine of the Leishen Zhiqing series, with a maximum power of 133kW (181Ps), with a 350bar common rail direct injection system, its power performance and fuel economy will be comprehensively improved.
The new Geely Binyue
Like Binrui, Geely Binyue, which locates a small SUV, will also usher in a mid-term remodel this year, and the car currently has a declaration map. The family-style "Energy Storm" design language and this 4380mm long car are just right, and even give people a gorgeous "small steel cannon" feeling.
Especially in the details, the new Color is not only a sporty front face, black under-the-wall and black roof, but also adds 18-inch black wheels (red calipers), large tail fins, red rear diffusers, bilateral four-out exhaust and many other "hard goods".
People can't help but wonder whether the sports tendency of domestic cars is to "infect" the SUV market.
Similarly, the new Binyue will be equipped with a 1.5T L4 turbocharged engine modeled BHE15-EFZ with a maximum power of 133 kW (181Ps), matched by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
It should be noted that because the guidance price of the current Binyue entry-level version is only 75,800 yuan, if the threshold is to be lowered, personal speculation is that the 1.4T+ CVT powertrain equipped with the current model is expected to continue to be provided.
The new Geely iCON
Geely iCON is an urban SUV model mainly for young consumers, the size, positioning, and price are slightly higher than the above Binyue, and the design is a large number of trend elements that young people like to see, and there is absolutely no black on the appearance.
However, because of the full range of 1.5T three-cylinder engines, the sense of existence of this car has not been strong since its listing, and it has always been almost interesting compared to the haval H6 national tide, Tiggo 7, CS55PLUS and so on at the same price.
At present, the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration information also appeared for the first time in the mid-term redesign of Geely iCON figure, the classic "box" shape is still fashionable avant-garde, plus two-color body, suspension roof, hidden door handle and other fashionable elements, in many SUV of the same price appear unique.
In terms of details, the new car has redesigned the front and rear bumpers and offers a new style of wheels to choose from, which is also highly suitable for the tastes of young people.
The current Geely iCON interior
In terms of power, the current 1.5T three-cylinder engine will also be eliminated, instead using the same 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine of Binrui/Binyue, with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and it is also a multi-link independent rear suspension (Binrui/Binyue torque beam).
This new powertrain will make up for the last shortcomings of the car, and the price range of 100,000-120,000 is undoubtedly very attractive to young people.
Geely Star Yue L H·iX
At the end of last year, Geely Automobile released the new Raytheon Engine power structure for the first time, in addition to the 1.5T in-line four-cylinder engine prepared for fuel vehicles, the greater selling point of the new architecture is the new Raytheon H·iX hybrid system, and the first model equipped with this power system is the Hoshigoku L H·iX.
At the end of last year, Geely Automobile officially announced that the pre-sale price of the Xingyue L H·iX Super Xun model (the early version) was 173,700 yuan, and only this model was sold in a limited quantity of 2,022 units and had been booked.
Compared to the previous fuel version, this derivative model is equipped with a new style of front grille filling, and there are no other obvious changes. Moreover, because it is a gasoline-electric hybrid system, the car is a blue card, which is different from the BYD DM-i series.
According to the manufacturer's plan, the Raytheon Hybrid series will be derived from a variety of different versions through modular design, in addition to the 1.5T three-cylinder engine (model DHE15-ESZ) equipped with DHT Pro electric drive module (three physical gears) equipped with the 1.5T three-cylinder engine (model DH15-ESZ) equipped with the Hoshigoku L·iX, there are also 2.0T engines, DHT electric drive modules (without physical gears) and a large-capacity battery pack PHEV plug-in hybrid system.
This indicates that this hybrid architecture can be backward compatible with Emgrand/Binyue and so on in the future, as well as upward compatible with high-end models and performance cars of the Lynk & Co brand, and can also be derived from the version of the green card/supporting pure electric mode.
Lynk & Co 01 HEV
Coincidentally, in the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2022 "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements" new product announcement, we saw for the first time the relevant information of the Lynk & Co 01 oil-electric hybrid version of the model, which basically copied the power system of Xingyue L H·iX, and also did not support external power charging, on the blue card.
According to the declaration information, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T inline three-cylinder turbo engine code-named DHE15-ESZ, with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts (150 horsepower), both in terms of model and data are the same as the previously released Hoshigoku L H·iX Thor Hybrid Edition.
Although the data is not as good as the 1.5T four-cylinder engine on the fuel car, this engine uses a high compression ratio Miller cycle, and the thermal efficiency has been improved to 43.32% after electrification.
Green card mixing system
Although it is a blue card, its comprehensive fuel consumption on the Xingyue L H·iX is only 4.3L/100km, and this Lynk & Co 01 HEV is expected to be at this level, which can basically be seen as the level of fuel consumption of the Song PLUS DM-i green card plug-in hybrid car, the difference is only that this car cannot be charged, and it cannot be driven purely by electric drive.
Summary
In 2022, Geely Automobile has a comprehensive innovation in the field of fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and the blessing of the new 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine will further strengthen the product competitiveness of the brand's family car system, especially the three-cylinder machines in the price range of 8-12 million Binyue, Binrui and iCON will really "run".
In the field of hybrid vehicles, the Thor hybrid architecture will not only comprehensively strengthen the competitiveness of the brand's high-end blue-brand cars, but also gradually replace the active PHEV models in the future, so that Geely/Lynk & Co's hybrid vehicles really have the capital to compete head-on with THE BYD DM-i series and Toyota THS series.
