Geely Jiaji is a compact MPV model launched by the Geely brand, the current model on sale is the 2022 Jiaji Platinum Edition, providing 3 configurations are comfort, luxury, premium, the guiding price range is 119,800 - 142,800 yuan, Jiaji can be said to be a fateful model, since its listing in 2019, Jiaji has successively launched 1.5TD + 48V light hybrid power, 1.8TD + 6AT power, 1.8TD + 7DCT power and other models. However, without exception, the sales performance is relatively average, and the voice in the compact MPV market, which is not large in volume, is also relatively general. The reason is that the power system is not suitable and the vehicle space performance is the root cause, and the guidance price of the 2022 Jiaji Platinum Edition is not cheap enough, which further exacerbates the dilemma of poor sales.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology updated the 355th batch of new car announcements, in which we found a new Jiaji figure, the new car adopts Geely's family appearance design, that is, we are not unfamiliar with the energy storm front face design, which we have shared with you before, the front face uses a large mouth of the lower bracketing grille, in addition to the front grille part using a similar parametric design, the overall proportion of the front face part of the grille is very large, coupled with the "wind tunnel" design on both sides of the front surround, Compared with the 2022 Jiaji Platinum Edition, which is currently on sale, the momentum of the new car has become much stronger.
The tail design can be seen that compared with the 2022 model, the tail design of the new Jiaji is younger, the line of the parking space is more, and the through-type tail light group design is adopted, the new tail light modeling line sense is stronger, coupled with the penetrating chrome trim strip on the lower surround and the vertical reflective light strip on both sides, the visual feeling of the rear of the vehicle is younger and more fashionable than the current 2022 Jiaji. Of course, this is not the focus of this upgrade, next we look at the vehicle declaration materials.
The new Jiaji declared vehicle three-dimensional size is 4826x1909x1695mm, vehicle wheelbase is 2805mm, as a reference for the sale of the 2022 Jiaji Platinum Edition of the vehicle is 4706x1909x1690mm, vehicle wheelbase is 2805mm, through data comparison, it is not difficult to find that the length of the new Jiaji vehicle has increased significantly, from the current 4706mm to 4826mm, an increase of 120mm, The height of the vehicle has been slightly increased by 5mm, and the wheelbase has not changed from the current model, so there is reason to believe that there will be a certain degree of change in the interior space of Jiaji.
Another big change is that the new Jiaji will use a 1.5T four-cylinder turbo engine code-named BHE15-EFZ, which has been exposed on Geely's Binrui COOL, new ICON, Binyue and other models, of which the maximum power of the BHE15 series engine equipped by Binrui COOL is also 133kW, which is the same as the engine power declared by Jiaji this time, so this is the same engine, then the parameters of the engine should be the same, That is to say, the maximum power of the new Jiaji engine is 133kW, the maximum torque is 290N·m, and the transmission efficiency of Geely's 7DCT EVO 300s wet 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is 98%, which is slightly increased compared to the 97% transmission efficiency of the current Jiaji 7DCT transmission. Coupled with the fact that the engine uses a smaller displacement 1.5T turbo engine, the fuel consumption performance of the new engine is still worth looking forward to.
In general, the change of Jiaji is quite OK, the length of the vehicle has been adjusted, for the car space should have some upgrades and improvements, in addition to the use of a new Raytheon 1.5T power, improved the current Jiaji 1.8T power is too large problem, for users this upgrade is able to enhance the user's recognition of the vehicle, if the new Jiaji listing can further reduce the price of the car system, then there is reason to believe that the sales of the vehicle after the Jiaji revamp will be a certain increase.
But then again, if the price of Jiaji is not adjusted, there are still more MPV models to be listed in 2022, which is a very serious challenge for jiaji's compact MPV. Therefore, this upgrade can be said to be the "endgame" of this product of Geely Jiaji, whether Jiaji can retain its own place in the future MPV market, or completely reduced to a marginal product, it can be said that success or failure in this move, I hope that Jiaji can come up with sincerity to bring users cost-effective products.
I am Teacher Mu, and I hope that you will buy a car and take fewer detours.
