The "third space" of the car is more like a concept for the current level of technology, but if it is to be embodied, it is not without it. The "third space" as we know it refers to shopping and leisure places, and if it is placed on the car, it means the multi-scene experience that a car type can bring.
The demand for space will be relatively high, and among their alternative models, they are often more attractive with large space, and the biggest selling point of Geely Haoyue is its flexible space. Haoyue is not very conspicuous in the Geely family, but the initial promotion of this model is based on space, so this model has a reason to be chosen.
Haoyue's positioning is in the field of medium-sized SUVs, with a length size of 4835mm and a wheelbase size of 2815mm, which is not small. The 2022 model adopts the latest design language of the Geely family, with changes in appearance. The front grille of the model is a straight waterfall design, which is more common in the Geely "Star" series of products.
The side of the body is more of a slender visual effect, and its side uses a lot of stamped crease lines. There is an upward shoulder line along the bottom of the window, and a layering effect is also formed under the door. The front and back eyebrows have deep creases, creating a sense of strength. The wheels are not small in size, available in 18 inches and 19 inches, but not much compared to the overall coordination of the body.
The roof has an external luggage rack, the trunk also has a large open corner window, which can be equipped with an external luggage, and the rear corner window also improves the light transmission inside the car. The taillights are integrated through the design, widening the visual proportions of the rear of the car. At the bottom of the rear is a matte blackened enclosure inlaid with reflective strips and trapezoidal imitation exhaust vents, with a metallic rear bar in the middle.
Howeet offers two seating layouts, namely the 5-seat version and the 7-seat version, the 7-seat version of the seat layout belongs to 2+3+2, the front and rear and third rows are two seats, and the middle is three seats. Even with a three-row seat layout, there will still be some space for the trunk, and two or three regular-sized suitcases can be placed for daily travel.
The second and third rows of seats can be reclined to fully flat, further enhancing the storage potential, and if you want to go out camping in this model, you can also lay an inflatable cushion in the car as a temporary resting place. The third row of seating space is decent, but there are armrest boxes on both sides, and there are also cup holders on the armrest boxes where you can hold water glasses or drinks.
The layout of the front row is more regular, and the center console has a hierarchical structure and is covered with leather material, which does not look cheap at all. Its display uses a suspension design, this display has 12.3 inches, the instrument is divided into two sizes, the flagship model belongs to the full LCD instrument, with 12.3 inches, the remaining model version has a physical dial, the instrument screen has 3.5 inches, mainly used to display part of the driving information.
Haoyue's power provides 1.8T displacement, there is no difference in power, the whole series is 184Ps + 300N·m, its power response at the beginning is not very sharp, there is a response period, but the late power explosion is more obvious, especially the re-acceleration ability is relatively strong, suitable for home use. It is more fuel-efficient at high speeds, averaging about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, but the fuel consumption in urban areas is slightly higher, about 10 liters.
summary:
Geely Haoyue is obviously a family SUV, but the SUV's high chassis also has good passability. The flexible space use ability makes it multi-scene use efficient, at least in terms of space will not feel insufficient. If it is a family driving a vehicle to camp in the wilderness, you can also choose to add an external suitcase, which can be used to place items, and the tail box also has a certain storage ability, so there is no problem in placing the equipment needed for camping. And when camping in the wilderness, the seat can be folded up, and another resting place will be formed in the car, so as to meet people's leisure and entertainment needs.
