In the current automobile market, whether to choose a joint venture brand or an independent brand to buy a car is an inevitable topic. Among the 15-20W family SUVs, the most likely joint venture brands are CR-V, RAV4, and Tiguan L, while the most representative model of its own brand is Xingyue L. So how to choose between joint venture SUVs and own-brand SUVs?
The July sales data of the Passenger Association was released, and the sales of co-brands all declined. In the SUV market, the Tiguan L and RAV4 Rongfang fell -7.6% and -9.5% year-on-year, respectively, while the Evergreen CR-V decreased by -28.1% year-on-year. On the other hand, the off-season sales of domestic brands are not slow, but not reduced, but increased. Geely Yao famous SUV Xingyue L stands out among cars in its class, selling more than 10,000 for two consecutive months.
The SUV market has always been a battleground. On the one hand, it is affected by the price war, and on the other hand, it is attacked by competing products such as new energy. It is such a being. Since its launch in 2021, Xingyue L has continued to sell hotly, achieving a record of 6,000+ sales and 30,000+ orders within 10 days of listing. So what did Xingyue L rely on to achieve these achievements?
There is no doubt that high-quality products are the first productive force in sales. Not long ago, Aika held a competition between its own and joint venture SUVs. On both sides are the 2021 Xingyue L four-wheel drive flagship version and the 2023 CR-V 5-seat style two-wheel drive version. A comprehensive comparison of the exterior and interior of the two cars was made. From the perspective of decoration, space, performance, configuration, etc., how Xingyue L comprehensively surpasses the former rulers of the SUV market.
The first is the exterior and interior of the car. The large straight front grille in the style of a waterfall is very conspicuous, and there is a triple IMAX screen inside. The sense of technology and texture coexist, which is more in line with young people's pursuit of fashion. In contrast, the 2023 CR-V adopts a new family design language, and the overall shape of the vehicle is more rounded. The trend is a bit flat.
The second is the performance aspect. All Xingyue L models are equipped with Drive-E 2.0TD engines, which are available in 2.0TD+8AT/2.0TD+7DCT power units. The comparison version is equipped with a high-performance 2.0TD engine with a maximum power of 175 kW, a maximum impact power of 238 hp, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, an acceleration of 7.7 seconds per 100 km/h, and a short braking distance. 37.37 meters per 100 km. The CR-V is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine mated to Honda's long-term CVT transmission, with a maximum power of 142 kW, a maximum power of 193 hp and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. 0 to 100 km acceleration 7.9 seconds, 0 to 100 km braking 39.54 meters. If you're after driving handling, the CR-V is definitely not worth it.
In terms of configuration, it is simply the Achilles heel of many common brands such as CR-V. The configuration of updating the CR-V 2023 is just a "fake lens". For example, the newly introduced HUD heads-up digital display requires additional capital to configure. CR-V also lacks reverse warning and DOW door opening warning, which increases the risk of "door opening killing". The above are all standard functions of Xingyue L. In addition, the Xingyue L vehicle is also equipped with 24 environmental safety sensor elements, 540° transparent chassis, 360° panoramic image and parallel assist, etc., providing great safety for the driver. In terms of intelligent configuration, Xingyue L is equipped with automotive-grade Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, linkage with Geely Galaxy OS, and HWA high-speed driving assistance system and other leading intelligent technologies.
As a flagship SUV born from the CMA architecture, Xingyue L has devoted all its efforts to "Geely 4.0". In the face of a joint venture strong enemy such as CR-V, Xingyue L has more advantages in performance, intelligent configuration, price, space and other aspects. With the weight of "high value" and the joint venture brand, Xingyue L showed the world the technology and confidence of Chinese automobiles, and opened a new page in the top development of the Geely brand.
