The seven-day National Day holiday is over half of the time. Not surprisingly, many people are planning to return or are already on the way back. The editor who is unwilling to be stuck on the road has no plans to travel on National Day from beginning to end, but the long holiday is not always possible. "Lying on the corpse" bed on the day, so I remembered that the maintenance day of my Geely Borui was approaching, so I could go for a maintenance to kill time, and at the same time, I could see some new models of Geely.
to see the car in the name of maintenance I came up to ask what business I wanted to do and told the other party to maintain it. After the after-sales service, I checked the appearance of the vehicle and informed the maintenance items, and then the vehicle was taken away.
Because I was a little thirsty, I didn't have the first time to go to the showroom to watch the car, but went to the after-sales lounge on the second floor. After quenching my thirst, the editor found through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lounge that although not many people came for maintenance during the National Day, there were an endless stream of customers in the exhibition hall to watch cars. Among them, the Geely China Star series Xing Rui and Xingyue L Position C is placed, stopping side by side in front of the gate.
After putting down the water glass, the editor also came to the exhibition hall. After going downstairs, I found a Star Yue L parked in the side hall. Although it is not the first time to "meet", it has been a while since I met at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier, so the majestic shape once again surprised the editor.
dimensionality reduction combat "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger"
Although Geely officially positions the Xingyue L as a compact SUV,But its size is the performance of a semi-medium SUV. The length, width and height are 4770*1895*1689mm, and the wheelbase is 2845mm, which is comparable to BMW X3 , Mercedes-Benz GLC , Audi Q5L , etc. Volkswagen Exploring Yue, Tiguan L and other models are more prominent. Therefore, the positioning of the compact does not affect the temperament of its mid-size car. Some people even call the Xingyue L "playing a pig and eating a tiger."
In design, Xingyue L adopts a brand-new family-style language and has a very strong Geely 4.0 era. The vertical waterfall grille is very visually impactful, and the double-layer three-segment LED The daytime running lights are sharp and have a sense of science. According to the official introduction, the design of the daytime running lights is inspired by Taoism . One life two, two life three, three life all things, both Chinese culture concept can express the connotation of independent car design ; In addition, the Xingyue L headstock has a flat cut surface and sharp lines. When it gives people a sense of pressure, it looks very high-quality from a certain angle from the side.
The side of the body, the overall performance is relatively straight, the lines are not many but simple and imposing, and thanks to the advanced nature of the CMA architecture, it can be clearly seen that the Xingyue L has extremely short front and rear axles. This is also an important reason for its outstanding wheelbase performance. In addition, the cyclone-style wheels are quite attractive. The two-wheel drive top and four-wheel drive top wheels are 19 inches with a tire width of 245, while other models have 18-inch wheels with 235 tires. Relatively speaking, the top-equipped models will have better grip and better braking, but in terms of economy and comfort, the low- and mid-range models may perform better.
The layout and design of the interior can be summarized in terms of texture, technology and luxury.In addition to the HUD head-up display, there are a total of 4 screens in the car. They cooperate with each other to bring a comprehensive and excellent driving experience, rather than a simple visual cool; at the same time, the material in the car is quite excellent, and it can be selected on medium and high models. The Cuiyu Symphony suit also has a double-color suede interior; the richness of the configuration is the envy of many joint venture owners, such as automatic driving assistance, BOSE audio, seat ventilation and heating.
In terms of power, although the price of Xingyue L is only 137,200 yuan, the entire system is equipped with Drive-E series 2.0T turbocharged engines. Although they are divided into high and low power, they have low power and maximum horsepower. With 218 horses, a maximum torque of 325 Nm, and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the power performance is still the best in its class.
After watching the car in the exhibition hall, the editor tried a 2.0T four-wheel drive top-mounted model of Xingyue L, with a maximum horsepower of 238 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The test driver gave the editor a demonstration In addition to its acceleration performance, it is indeed quite excellent, able to increase the speed to 100km/h in a very short distance, and it is very obvious that the engine and the variable speed box match very smoothly, and the whole test ride process was smooth and flowing.
Of course, there is a flaw in the fly, that is, when the engine is accelerating rapidly, the noise suppression in the car is still not up to the requirements of the editor. However, the NVH performance of Xingyue L is still To be sure, the double-layer soundproof glass is good at isolating road noise and wind noise.
is very popular and cheap sale
After the trial ride, the editor became more interested in Xingyue L and even thought of replacing it, so I got a sales inquiry. First, explain the two core information points. First, the new car does not have any discounts on car prices.Sale at a low price; secondly, there are not enough cars available, and you need to wait two to three months after ordering a car.
Then we calculated the car price. The models I asked for were two-wheel-drive top-fitting and four-wheel-drive top-fitting. We calculated two down payment plans of 30% and 50%, and two loan plans of 36 installments and 60 installments. .
Among them, the flagship manufacturer's guide price for the two-wheel drive roof is 165,200 yuan, the purchase tax is 14,619 yuan, the licensing fee is 2,000 yuan, the insurance is 6,000 yuan, and the full purchase price is 187,819 yuan.
If the down payment of the loan is 30%, the down payment of 83,819 yuan can be used to pick up the car and leave, which is equivalent to a loan of 110,000 yuan. The monthly payment in 36 installments is 3411 yuan. Among them, the interest increased from 12,796 yuan to 21,580 yuan, a difference of 8784 yuan.
If the loan down payment is 50%, the down payment needs 118,819 yuan. Originally, there is no need for that much. However, sales said that the down payment of 50% is equivalent to a loan of 79,000 yuan, but 75,000 yuan is interest-free for three years, so the down payment ratio A little more than 50%, then 36 interest-free monthly payment is 2083 yuan, 60 installment monthly payment is 1458 yuan, 12480 yuan more interest.
Then there is the top-of-the-line high-power four-wheel drive flagship model, the manufacturer’s guide price is 185,200 yuan, and there is also no discount. The purchase tax is 16,389 yuan, the license is 2,000 yuan, and the insurance is 6,500 yuan. The total amount is 210,089 yuan.
If the loan down payment is 30%, the down payment is 92,089 yuan to pick up the car and leave, which is equivalent to a loan of 124,000 yuan. The monthly payment in 36 installments is 3870 yuan. If the monthly payment is 60 installments, the monthly payment is 2487 yuan. 15320 yuan increased to 25220 yuan, a difference of 9900 yuan.If the down payment of the loan is 50%, the down payment needs to be 127,089 yuan, which is equivalent to a loan of 89,000 yuan, then the monthly payment for 36 installments is 2723 yuan, and the monthly payment for 60 installments is 1752 yuan, which is an extra 7092 yuan in interest.
Due to the lack of cores, combined with the insufficient production capacity of new cars, and the popularity of Xingyue L, the waiting time for cars is a little longer, but the current phenomenon of waiting for cars is not only Xingyue L. Hot-selling joint venture models It is more serious, and Xingyue L did not increase the price in disguise or compulsory installation under the huge order volume, which is worthy of recognition.
car online review: Phenomenal product
According to many public reports, Xingyue L has received more than 25,000 orders + sales in the first full sales month (August), becoming Geely For another phenomenon-level product, after the chip shortage problem is solved and the output keeps up, the market competitiveness of Xingyue L may threaten many products of the same level.
