concern
In recent years, major independent car companies are actively looking for new directions for high-end breakthroughs, BYD has chosen the green brand route, Chery's export volume is leading the same, and the Great Wall is opening up new markets in high-end off-road... Geely Automobile also has a very good market share, but there are also many shortcomings that need to be checked and filled.
With the new 1.5T four-cylinder machine, Thor's Hygienist Hi· X, methanol hybrid system has been in service, starting from the second quarter of this year, Geely / Lynk & Co / Extreme Kr three major brands will collectively exert efforts to bring consumers a full-scenario, diversified travel solutions.
Geely Bingrui COOL
The new Binrui COOL should be the nearest Geely new car to us in the near future, the car interior and exterior design compared to the current Binrui has undergone subversive changes, the new open front face shape looks more aggressive, officially called it the "racing storm" design concept, with LCD instruments, electronic barriers, suspension central control screen and other fashionable elements, so that it will be more confident in the face of Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, MG 5 Scorpio and other models.
More importantly, Binrui COOL was equipped with Geely's latest 1.5T engine for the first time, which not only reached an exaggerated 181 hp/290 Nm on the book, but also an inline four-cylinder system (Geely's active 1.5T is an inline three-cylinder). With a 7-speed wet double-clutch transmission, Binrui COOL can do 7.1 seconds "break the hundred", although the torsion beam is hanging a bit behind the leg, but it looks at the price of 9.58-11.08 million yuan (the first 5,000 yuan user grabs the price), compared to the same main sports competition is still quite cost-effective.
Geely Emgrand L Hi · X
Emgrand L Hi· X is the successor to Star-Vietnam L Hi · After X, Geely's second car equipped with Thunder God's hybrid technology, at the same time, Emgrand L Hi · X is equipped with a larger capacity battery, and supports external power charging, on the green card, the direct competitor is the star car in this segment - Qin PLUS DM-i. As a derivative version of Emgrand L, the overall design of this "green card version" has not changed much, but there are subversive changes in the powertrain.
Emgrand L Hi· X did not use the 1.4T engine on the fuel version, but the 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine that was exactly the same as the Binrui COOL data above, which was also the same as the Hoshigoshi L hi · The 1.5T three-cylinder machine used by the X is different. This is matched by Geely's newly developed DHT PRO electric drive module, which contains two coaxial motors and two sets of planetary gear sets that provide an additional power output of 100kW, as well as three physical gears for electromechanical coupling and power shunting for the combustion engine and the electric drive module. With the blessing of this hard-core powertrain, Emgrand L Hi · X can "break the hundred" in 6.9 seconds, and the power loss fuel consumption is only 3.8L/100km, which is completely without fear of HYBRID competitors such as BYD DM-i and Great Wall DHT.
Geely Emgrand methanol hybrid
In Thor Hi · On the basis of X hybrid technology, Geely has also developed a "alcohol-electric" hybrid system, which will first appear on the fourth generation of Emgrand, and is expected to officially meet with consumers within this year. Compared with gasoline/diesel/natural gas from oil, methanol can be obtained through coal (inferior coal) or chemical synthesis with carbon dioxide as raw material, which is undoubtedly more in line with China's energy structure optimization for automobile power, and also has great market potential.
According to the declaration information, this methanol-burning Emgrand is a blue-brand hybrid vehicle that does not support external power charging, equipped with an engine with a displacement of 1.8L, and the maximum power of 132 horsepower (97 kilowatts) can indeed not be compared with the same displacement gasoline engine, but it is applied in hybrid vehicles to make up for the lack of power through the electric drive module and enlarge the economic advantages of the whole vehicle. Of course, the methanol car program is still a long way from commercialization, after all, the charging pile is not fully understood, and now it is necessary to find a place to add methanol, which is the actual car problem that users must consider, in the early days, the emergence of methanol hybrid version of Emgrand is good news for Geely's online car army.
Geely Binyue 1.5T
As a new generation of geely automobile power system, this 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine code-named BHE15-EFZ will naturally not be applied only in binrui COOL, with the adjustment of production capacity, the entire series of models that have been equipped with 1.5T three-cylinder engines in service will be successively equipped with this new head, which does not include the small SUV - Binyue.
Like Binrui COOL, this Binyue also adopts a more radical design language, the open front face looks quite intimidating, the external kit of the vehicle adds a large number of blackening elements, and the tail has many sports elements such as independent large tail wings and bilateral four-out exhaust, and the sense of combat is full. Compared with the first love of Haval, Tiggo 5x, Changan CS35, etc. at the same price, it does have more of a "small steel cannon" flavor.
Geely ICON 1.5T
Similarly, Geely ICON, as the representative of the 100,000-priced young SUV, will also be equipped with Geely's latest 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine. This car has impressed consumers with its fashionable and novel appearance at the place of listing, especially young women who advocate personalized life, compared with the CS75PLUS, Haval H8, and Tiggo 8 PLUS, which are mainly "high-end atmosphere and grade", they will prefer this eye-catching design idea.
It is worth mentioning that Geely also declared a technical patent of "active front grille baffle" on the IOCN car, and when matched with split headlights, with the on/off headlights, the baffle moves up/down to form a "jumping light" effect. This design is undoubtedly very trendy, but I don't know when it will appear on the production car.
Lynk & Co 06 1.5T
As Geely's high-end brand, Lynk & Co will naturally enjoy the "benefits" of Geely's powertrain, and the first replacement of the four-cylinder engine is expected to be this small SUV - Lynk & Co 06. The car has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and is also equipped with a BHE15-EFZ 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine with 350 common rail direct injection, Eros combustion technology, and small inertia electronically controlled turbine, further strengthening the product strength.
The powertrain is exactly the same as the above geely cars, and as the entry product of the Lynk & Co brand, the car maintains a high cost performance (the current guidance price is 11.86-13.98 million yuan), and will have better performance in terms of material technology, functional configuration, service experience, etc. The small block and exquisite design are also very attractive to young women.
Mid-term redesign of Lynk & Co 03/03+
Compared with Geely ICON and Lynk & Co 06, the Lynk & Co 03 series is undoubtedly a typical men's car, and from the product positioning and market reputation of the car that has been in service for many years, the hard-core 2.0T+8AT is undoubtedly the core competitiveness of this car. At present, the mid-term modification of the Lynk & Co 03 family also has a patent declaration map, and it is expected that the actual car will be released this year.
The new Lynk & Co 03 redesigned the front face and tail details, the front grille style and split headlights look more aggressive after adjustment, and the taillights are narrower and longer, a bit of a kryptonian series feeling. On the basis of the standard version, the Lynk & Co 03+ positioned "small steel cannon" was also equipped with a hood with a heat dissipation port, and the tail exhaust was also changed to a bilateral four-out layout, which was also full of combat. At present, it is not clear about the power information, according to the progress, the standard version 03 is expected to be directly replaced with the Geely 1.5T+7DCT, while the 03+ will be equipped with 2.0T+8AT+AWD, continuing to press the Volkswagen Golf GTI to the ground and rub.
Lynk & Co 01 HEV
Tube blue /green card, hybrid has become the inevitable development direction of future gasoline vehicles, Xingyue L has "tested the water" geely's latest research and development of Lei Shen Zhi Qing Hi · X, and Lynk & Co 01 will naturally not be absent from the product power upgrade brought about by this new powertrain. At present, the Lynk & Co 01 HEV model has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Star Yue L Hi · X does not support external power charging, on the blue card.
In essence, this Lynk & Co 01 HEV basically copied the Hoshigoku L Hi · X's powertrain is the same as the 1.5T in-line three-cylinder turbo engine codenamed DHE15-ESZ, with a maximum power of 110 kW (150 hp), the same is the DHT PRO electric drive module with three physical gears, plus the overall weight difference between the two models is not large, and it is expected to achieve a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4-5L/100km. In fact, this set of Thunder God Intelligence Engine can be upgraded to green card plug mix, Geely / Lynk & Co official may consider that many active green car is still using the old P2.5 single motor plug mix, so it is necessary to slow down first.
Extreme Kr Luxury MPV
Compared with Geely & Lynk & Co, the high-end brand Extreme Kr is more "self-free" in the understanding of the future car, which we can still feel on the current Extreme Kr 001, and the brand's next model is a new high-end MPV product based on the SEA vast architecture, not only has the top luxury cockpit design, but also the performance in the field of auxiliary driving and digital interaction is also worth looking forward to.
It is reported that the interior code of this luxury MPV is EF1E, and its body size is expected to exceed 5.1 meters, and the wheelbase may be between 3.1-3.3 meters, reaching the level of medium and large MPV. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a large-capacity battery pack, and its pure electric mileage is expected to exceed 700km, although it is not as long as the hybrid, but it is already a super-first-line level in the field of pure electricity.
Summary
From the perspective of model planning, the four-cylinder engine was replaced, and the main thrust of Thor Hi · X will be the focus of Geely Automobile's products in 2022, and by 2023, it is expected that all Geely/Lynk & Co models will complete the iterative work of powertrain, covering all models in price points of 80,000-250,000. The strong upgrade + short board of the whole product spectrum will further strengthen the competitiveness of brand models in various market segments, and will also have more confidence in the face of peer competitors.
