For consumers who want to buy a family compact car with a budget of less than 150,000 yuan, the Volkswagen Sagitar, Nissan Xuanyi, and Toyota Corolla of the previous joint venture camp are the primary considerations, after all, they have a large mass base and stable quality. However, with the rise of domestic brands in the past two years, many models with good product strength have emerged, among which Geely Xingrui is one of the more typical models. With the standard 2.0T engine and wheelbase of 2800mm, it has attracted the attention of many consumers and achieved relatively excellent sales results. In this article, the author analyzes the product power of Geely Xingrui, how is the overall performance? Is it worth considering buying?

Geely Xingrui, as a model of Geely's "Star" generation, is based on the CMA architecture. A total of 5 models of the 2023 models currently on sale, with a guidance price of 11.37-145,700 yuan, is comparable to some of the popular compact cars we mentioned above.
In terms of appearance, Xingrui adopts Geely's new 4.0 design language, and the visual impact of the straight waterfall grille on the front face is good, and the combination of full LED headlights on both sides is very recognizable and fashionable.
As for the side, Geely Xingrui looks relatively low, the shape is relatively slender, plus the rear of the car has a bit of a slippery back design, so it looks a little sporty. In terms of body size, Geely Xingrui has reached 4785/1869/1469mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 2800mm, which is not excessive in theory as a B-class car, and in the A-class car, the body size is advantageous.
(Space Time Version)
At the rear, the overall silhouette of Geely Xingrui adopts a full and thick design technique, which echoes the style of the front face. At the same time, the chrome strip of horizontal design runs through the rear of the car, connecting with the taillights on the left and right sides to become one, so that the rear has a good sense of layering and stretches the visual width of the rear of the car. It is worth noting that Xingrui actually uses two sets of exterior designs, the space-time version and only this green version have some sports packages, and the rear of the car also adopts a bilateral four-out rear row design, and the overall look will be more bluffing.
Entering the interior of Geely Xingrui, like the exterior, the interior does not belong to the rather stunning type, the layout and design of the entire central control is relatively simple, and the color-block interior is equipped with a 12.3-inch central control LCD screen (the lowest equipped model is 10.25 inches), ensuring the fashion and sense of technology of the interior. Of course, if you don't like color-block interiors, Geely Xingrui actually has monochrome interiors for you to choose from. Not only does the central control have an LCD screen, Geely Xingrui's premium version and only this green version are equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, and the rest of the models are a combination of 7-inch LCD screen and mechanical instruments.
In terms of internal configuration, we take the Xingrui 2023 2.0T Premium model as an example, steering wheel shifting, smart remote control key, mobile phone Bluetooth key, front keyless entry, keyless start, remote start, remote control mobile vehicle, GPS navigation system, Bluetooth/car phone, Hicar mobile phone interconnection, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, voice recognition control system and other functions are equipped, which is completely sufficient for home.
In terms of seating space, take the experiencer who is 1.8m tall as an example, sit in the front row of Geely Xingrui, and adjust the seat to a reasonable driving position, at this time, there is still 2 fingers in the front headroom, and when you move to the rear, the head and legroom are left with about 3 fingers and 1 fist and 4 fingers, respectively. In addition, the bulge of the middle floor in the rear row is not high, which also ensures the comfort of the middle ride. And the rear seats support proportional reclining, and the overall practicality is strong.
In terms of power, Geely Xingrui is equipped with a 2.0T engine as standard, with a maximum power of 190PS and a peak torque output of 300Nm. In the camp of the same class, its basic displacement is still quite vocal, with an acceleration time of 7.9 seconds per 100 km. Through personal experience, Geely Xingrui's power output is biased towards smooth and linear, and in cooperation with the seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, the shift smoothness and shift logic have a relatively good performance. Its throttle adjustment is more sensitive, so the front start is brisk and fast, deep pedal acceleration in the car scene, can also be on call, compared with the same level of small-displacement turbocharged engine, 2.0T engine support Geely Xingrui is obviously a lot calmer. At the same time, the fuel economy performance is relatively good, and the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.7L/100km, which can also be accepted by most consumers.
In terms of suspension, Geely Xingrui uses a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension structure, which belongs to a more mainstream suspension combination. However, Geely Xingrui does not overemphasize sportiness, but the level of compromise between sports and comfort. It can give the driver a good sense of the road, driving pleasure is strong, and in the case of potholes on the road, its shock absorption and filtering are also in place, which can filter out most of the vibrations and will not transmit too much bumps in the car.
In terms of handling/assistance configuration, we also take the 2023 Xingrui 2.0T Premium model as an example, which is equipped with front/rear parking radar, 360° panoramic image, transparent image, full-speed adaptive cruise, L2 level assisted driving, automatic parking and Sport/ECO/standard comfort three driving modes.
On the whole, Geely Xingrui, as an A-class family car, the appearance of the exterior and interior is not too ostentatious, which can meet the aesthetics of most people, and in the case of having a good body size, its space performance also has certain advantages in the same class, and its configuration and power are the main advantages in the face of joint venture competitors of the same level. As for whether this car is worth buying, I think with a budget of less than 150,000, if you want good power and configuration, and the rest of the product power is not too bad, Geely Xingrui is still an object worth considering.
