The compact car market has always been considered a strong area for joint venture brands, but now with the birth of some Excellent Products of Chinese Brands, even in the face of the previous benchmark products, in terms of size, power, intelligence and many other aspects, the advantages of domestic models have been very obvious.
After the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger played a strong sound, the popularity of the large-scale dance poetry drama "Only This Green" has not decreased, and it is reported that it will be staged in many cities this year.
Interpreting the shape of mountains and rivers with human lines, and then promoting the audience's imagination to imagine the great beauty of rivers and mountains, this is certainly a major feature of "Only This Green". But as the choreographer said in an interview, "The real difficulty for dancers lies in the understanding of traditional culture - if you can tolerate the hills and valleys in your heart, you can write the mountains and rivers." ”
This open-mindedness is probably the starting point for the Geely brand to seek cooperation with it, such as Geely Xingrui, which acts as a "messenger" in this cooperation, not only a Chinese style, but also a comprehensive strength in size, intelligence, power and other aspects, and also a representative work of the domestic car market that is also "tolerant and large".
2.0T has become the mainstream displacement
In the early years of the domestic more than 100,000 class family car market, users have a special love for German products, representing models such as Sagittarius. Indeed, Ashkenazi products are trusted for safety and at the same time pioneered turbine power earlier.
But the times are changing, and now that independent brands have risen in traditional technology and intelligent technology, joint venture products are no longer as advantageous as before at a purely technical level. Especially in terms of power, such as Sagitar is still using the 1.4T power system, although reliable but has not been upgraded for many years, and low-end products use 1.2T engines, for many friends who have just needed power, it is not the best choice.
The 2.0TD power system is equipped with a standard 2.0TD power system, the peak torque reaches 300 Nm, the maximum horsepower output is 190 horses, which is like a "quasi-B-class product", and the zero hundred acceleration is as fast as 7.9 seconds (in fact, the third-party test agency has run about 7.5 seconds).
And the price range of Xingrui is 113,700 - 152,700, the whole system of power systems is the same, the book parameters are excellent and the landing results are outstanding, which is undoubtedly the gospel of many users who are "carefully calculated" in terms of budget and have strong demands in terms of power.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the 2.0TD engine is paired with a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission, which uses oil to dissipate heat compared with the dry dual-clutch used by Sagitar, which is more stable and reduces the risk factor for users who are "long-term holding".
After all, for compact sedan users, quality stability is one of the most basic needs.
The dimensions of the space are approximately Class B
Of course, the acceleration capacity should be considered in conjunction with the product specifications - that is, the body size.
In contrast to the 2.0TD "large displacement", The Length of the Xingrui is close to 4.8 meters and the wheelbase is 2.8 meters, which is also close to the category of B-class cars. Of course, Sagittarius also performs well in terms of space, with a wheelbase of more than 2.7 meters, but for the space inside the car, the advantage of a few centimeters of leg space can often determine the more luxurious sitting posture of the rear passengers, and it is worth mentioning that the lateral width of Xingrui is also more relaxed than that of Sagitar.
Space comfort is often the basis for supporting a model level and even a sense of luxury, and the comfort of Xingrui is not only reflected in the abundance of space, compared with some independent brands of the same level, Xingrui rear suspension adopts multi-link independent suspension, accompanied by today's Geely's chassis tuning kung fu is more and more skilled, in the face of ditches and speed bumps, Xingrui's chassis filter effect has also been guaranteed. This also makes it not inferior in the traditional mechanical level when facing a long-established brand like Sagitar.
If we are more careful, we will find that in the wheelbase, Xingrui has reached the widest 1618mm in the same class, which provides better stability for it when driving at high speed, and also seeks "transcendence" in these individual items, which is the expanded understanding of "tolerance is large" of Xingrui's car.
There are many dimensions to the scope of security
The safety factor was once the golden sign of German products, and Sagitar was no exception, such as laser welding technology, which was once talked about by the market. But now, with the evolution of safety concepts, the automotive safety defense line has long moved forward to the "preventive safety" stage, which tests intelligent technology.
As far as intelligent configuration is concerned, such as active braking system, Sagitar is only equipped with top products, while adaptive cruise needs to be optional; Xingrui is relatively "thick", which is equipped on the medium-equipped model, including TJA traffic congestion assistance, LKA lane keeping, ICA cruise assistance and a series of functions including "ICC intelligent pilot system", plus AEB automatic emergency braking, which greatly solves the user's choice difficulties and strengthens the safety factor of the product.
At the same time, in terms of other safety configurations, Xingrui not only has an LED light source as standard throughout the series, but also has an IHBC high beam control system (the system will automatically switch low or high beam according to the light and the presence or absence of the oncoming vehicle at the speed of ≤ 25 and ≥40 respectively, so as to benefit the self-interested), as well as the panoramic image presented with a 12.3-inch large screen, and equipped with front and rear reversing radar, as well as an automatic parking system, and even including a "transparent chassis"... This black technology operation will achieve zero dead angles in the safety protection in different states of driving and parking, in contrast, the entire series is not equipped with intelligent lighting systems and panoramic images of Sagitar, and there seems to be room for upgrading in terms of safety.
In addition, in the special period when the epidemic has caused waves from time to time, how to let the members of the car get a sense of peace of mind while "breathing freely"?
In this regard, Xingrui's strategy is quite "multi-dimensional", not only equipped with CN95 high-efficiency air conditioning filter, effective interception of droplets and other particulate matter, but also pay attention to the health assurance of members in the general condition of the car - such as AQS air quality management system, relying on sensor monitoring, when the external air quality is poor, automatically open the air circulation, and equipped with a negative ion generator, as well as the cockpit active cleaning ventilation system, even the steering wheel also has a bacteriostatic effect, it can be said that in terms of humanization, Xingrui's performance is very diverse.
summary
Joint venture products still have merits, such as the main technical maturity, but the Chinese brand through the technical self-improvement, now set off the Chinese wind can not be ignored, not only in the traditional three major pieces, in terms of intelligence and human-computer interaction, to some extent such as Xingrui has achieved cornering overtaking - such as in the compact car, the voice control range of the joint venture product even air conditioning may also need to be selected, and Xingrui has long been navigation, window and even many third-party applications are included, the inclusiveness and focus of this product, In fact, it has exceeded the value of the joint venture products at the product level, which is the opportunity and connection point that Geely chose to join hands with "Only This Green".
