With a starting price of more than 110,000 yuan, a wheelbase of 2800mm, and a 2.0T engine as standard in the whole series, although this Xingrui that was born from the Geely CMA structure is positioned as a compact sedan, it seems to me that it is not "compact" at all except for the price.
In the exterior part, we can see that this Star Rui uses more tough lines on the body, the whole car will look very powerful, and the air intake of the front of the car adopts the popular straight waterfall design. There are also surprises under the closer look, and there is still a Gilly family-style zigzag style around the grille, and such a design small Easter egg can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
Looking at the side, the length of the car close to 4 meters 8 with the wheelbase of 2 meters 8 brings a large enough sense of volume to Xingrui, and its body proportions with short front overhang and long rear suspension also look dynamic. In the details, the 18-inch large wheel rim with the body is just the right size, and it is worth praising that the cost of the matching Michelin tires is not low, which is a big deal in this level of model.
The design of the rear of the car is simple and capable, and the bilateral four-out exhaust below is also a relatively rare configuration today. Open the trunk to see that the entire trunk of Xingrui has a lot of space, the interior design is very regular, and the rear row is to support the proportional down function, the expansion is no problem, the only thing worth saying is that the opening height of its trunk is somewhat high, and it takes a little more effort to carry large items every day.
Sitting in the car, the interior is very designed, which is also a continuation of the simple and modern style of the appearance, and the details are also embellished with jumping bright stitches and geometric dark decorative stripes, so that the dark interior of the whole vehicle does not look monotonous and dull. The material part is also very thick, and a large area of fur material is used on the center console and the seat, which not only looks more sporty, but also enhances the friction of the seat.
As for the configuration part, there is no need to introduce more, some of the configurations are equipped with you, and even the L2 level of driver assistance, HUD head-up display, seat heating, BOES audio, air conditioning fragrance system and other cross-level equipment. It is worth saying that its car-machine system supports OTA functions, and it can also upgrade and iterate on driver assistance and engine ECUs in the later stage.
Sitting in the back row, you can clearly feel that The seat of Xingrui is still obviously European car style, the seat filling material is relatively hard, the emphasis is on the support of the body, and the comfort during the long-distance ride should be relatively good. In terms of space, thanks to the long wheelbase of 2 meters 8, the legroom is very abundant, I am 1 meter 78 tall, the front row is my driving position, sitting in the back row there is more than two fists of space, the head space It digs a concave design above, so it is not bad. In other parts, the bulge in the middle of the platform is not high, and it will hardly affect the passenger's foot in the middle of the rear row. At the same time, the rear row in the configuration part is also relatively comprehensive, the rear exhaust air outlet, charging interface, armrest cup holder these are equipped, but the size of the panoramic sunroof is more general, there is still a distance from the head of the rear passenger, fortunately it can be opened, the practicality is still good.
Let's open it up. The 2.0T Drive-e engine on the whole series of standard 2.0T Drive-e engines should be familiar to everyone, in addition to being installed on the Geely model, it is also used in Lynk & Co and Volvo models, power performance and reliability are worthy of recognition, and it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
After the actual start of this engine performance in line with my expectations, 140kW of power, 300Nm of torque to push this 1.5 tons of car is very easy, the throttle response is positive, the car is very light to drive, after all, the 2.0T displacement is placed here, the acceleration of the middle and rear section of the car is still very sufficient. The presence of the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is relatively low, and the gear change process is smooth and not aggressive, which is very much in line with its need to take into account the positioning of the home.
As for the chassis part, Xingrui used four-wheel independent suspension, coupled with the blessing of the CMA structure, the driving quality of the whole vehicle was excellent, especially in the NVH, the noise and vibration from all aspects after the vehicle ran up were better controlled. Of course, Michelin tires certainly contribute in terms of tire noise control. In terms of suspension, Xingrui is still obviously more comfortable on the whole. The chassis toughness is very sufficient, the daily opening of the fine fragment vibration filter is not thorough, retaining part of the sense of the road, in the face of the road surface of the larger bumps can be more calmly resolved, in addition to the bend when the suspension for the body support is in place, you can feel that this car still has some sports bottom.
summary:
Since its listing, Xingrui has proved consumer recognition of its strength with excellent sales performance, with cumulative sales of more than 170,000 vehicles in the 16 months of listing, with an average monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles. Through the test drive, we can see that its strength is indeed very strong, and all aspects of the attributes are very balanced, can not find a very obvious shortcoming, especially in terms of size, power, configuration and other aspects compared to the previous level of the same level of "benchmark" - Sagitar also has a lot of advantages, coupled with its more than 110,000 to 150,000 guidance price, absolutely is a very cost-effective choice in the same level of models.
