What does the arrival of Geely Xingrui indicate? It brings the compact car into the 2.0T era! There were also A-class cars equipped with 2.0T engines, but with the upgrading of products, 2.0T engines are becoming less and less common in A-class cars. For example, the original Volkswagen Sagitar has 2.0T models, but the current Sagitar It is a 1.4T model. It seems that replacing large-displacement engines with small-displacement engines has become a major trend in the development of the times. Even luxury brands are not immune, such as the 1.3T Mercedes-Benz A-Class, 1.4T Audi A3 and 1.5T BMW 1 Therefore, Geely Xingrui, which is equipped with 2.0T engines as standard, can be said to be "going against the trend". Can this change be welcomed by consumers?
We can find the answer from the sales volume. Geely Xingrui sold 7,017 units in the first month of listing, 12,077 units in December, and 14,160 units in January 2021. The upward trend in sales is very obvious. It can be said that Geely Xingrui has achieved great success in the market. The power combination of 2.0T turbocharged engine + 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox has also been warmly welcomed by consumers, so the question is coming? A domestically produced A-class car with a price of more than 100,000 yuan, why can consumers choose it instead of the same-class model of the joint venture brand? Isn't it more fragrant to choose Volkswagen Lavida for the same price? This starts with the product strength of Geely Xingrui.
In terms of appearance, Geely Xingrui takes a coupe-like sports route and adopts a "big back" design, which is in line with the aesthetics of young people. Compared with the well-regulated Volkswagen Lavida, it is more It is easy to get the favor of young people. In terms of size, Geely Xingrui still locates A-class cars, but its length, width and height are larger than many B-class cars. For example, Hyundai's famous picture is a B-class car with a length of 4710mm and a wheelbase of 2770mm, while the length of Geely Xingrui is 4785mm, the wheelbase is 2800mm, and the size is larger than the name picture. Even if Geely Auto positions Xingrui as a B-class car, it is reasonable, but it is an A In terms of body size, it is difficult to find rivals among A-class cars.
price,Xingrui is 113,7-14.97 million yuan. Among the A-class cars, the price is relatively expensive, even more expensive than the joint-venture brand A-class cars. However, under the general trend of energy saving and emission reduction, most A-class cars are equipped with With small-displacement engines, some consumers who are limited by their purchase budgets and have requirements for power output do not seem to have a better choice. It was not until the launch of Geely Xingrui that they brought hope to these consumers. Choose a large-sized A-class car with a 2.0T engine based on the CMA architecture. From the perspective of product strength, Geely Xingrui is still worth the money. If you compare it with a B-class car, its The advantages are even more obvious.
Of course, Geely Xingrui also has many shortcomings. According to car owners, its sound insulation effect is quite satisfactory, with high engine noise, tire noise, wind noise, high fuel consumption in urban areas, and low discounts. Wait, the standards and requirements of a small-displacement A-class car are really not fair. While enjoying the abundant power output, you should accept the fuel consumption of its 2.0T engine. In general, Geely Xingrui is still worth recommending, if the flaws are not concealed, is it not better than the public Lavender fragrance?
