Recently, as a Geely Star L extended-range electric version drove out of the assembly workshop of Geely Xi'an factory, the "China Star" series officially ushered in the 550,000th new car was launched. This is a milestone for "China Star", for " Geely , and for Chinese auto companies.
Time back to July 2021, at the launch of Geely Star Yue L, Geely's "China Star" series officially formed a group. More than a year later, "China Star" has been widely recognized by peers and consumers. In the eyes of the outside world, "China Star" is no longer just Geely's high-end product series, but also the pinnacle of Chinese manufacturing.
allows every consumer to enjoy "high-end products" and "China Star" to rise at the right time
In fact, in the development history of Chinese auto companies, high-end is an indispensable word, but what is high-end is a topic worth controversial. Is it high-end that as long as the price is high? Are high-end brands considered high-end?
Of course, whether it is just looking at the price or creating a brand new brand image is by no means the whole of high-end, or even the core. Excellent product strength, better interior materials, richer practical configurations, stronger power, etc. can also reflect high-end. More importantly, compared with the high-end brand, high-end products are more critical.
This also means that as long as you make improvements at the product level, the original brand can also reach the high-end!
"China Star" series is the best example. The CMA high-end car manufacturing architecture, the 2.0T engine of the Drive-E series, the Aixin 8AT gearbox, and the driving texture that completely surpasses the same price joint venture. The improvement in the product level is obvious to all. Relevant data shows that the average selling price of the "China Star" series models has reached 150,000 yuan, and in terms of sales, it has ushered in the 550,000th new car in a short period of time, which shows that China Star's high-end product level has been recognized by consumers.
In the face of the transformation of the automobile industry, consumers' demands for cars are constantly increasing. Cars are no longer a simple means of transportation. They not only need to meet the urgent needs of commuting and carry families, but also bring a better travel experience. In such a general environment, China Star's high-end product sequence is timely.
But high-end is an endless road. Now, the launch of Geely Star L extended-range electric version has raised the price of the high-end series of China Star to 250,000. This is not only a height that ordinary Chinese brands have never challenged before, but even joint venture brands dare not try it easily. It is not difficult to see that the Chinese Star product series is determined and more confident in impacting the high-end series.
anxiety-free super electric drive + full-scene full-scale configuration, high-end flagship is veritable
In fact, many consumers are also questioning the Xingyue L extended-range electric version. Is it capable of worthy of this pricing?
As a product of the "Technology Geely 4.0" era, Xingyue L extended-range electric version was born from the e-CMA electronic and electrical architecture, which laid the foundation for the new car's leadership in the genetic level.
. At the product level, the Thor electric system equipped with the new car is enough to demonstrate the unique technology of the new car. The extended-range system equipped with the new car has the following characteristics: the new car uses Geely's latest flat-panel battery, namely the integrated technology of CTP battery chassis. The purpose of this is very clear. Under the same space, a larger capacity battery pack can be laid out. The battery pack equipped with the new car has a capacity of 41.2kWh and supports a pure electric range of 205km. That is to say, it can run for one week after charging. It is easy to imagine how low the cost of using the car is.
More importantly, the new car also provides a fast charging system up to 85kW. If there is no condition to install a charging pile at home, you can choose a public charging pile for charging. It only takes 27 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%. You can fill it with a cup of coffee and enjoy the same low-cost car as an electric car.The new
- car adopts the industry's most efficient range extender. The 1.5T range extender has a thermal efficiency of as high as 43.32%, and it even instantly defeats a number of high-end fuel vehicles. It only requires 92 gasoline. In the range extended mode, the new car can reach 1250km, which truly achieves zero battery life. The extended-range system used by the new
- car is also different from the traditional extended-range system at the structural level. With the support of the third-speed " variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro", the engine and the wheel can be hard-linked. The biggest benefit of doing this is that under high-speed operating conditions, fuel drive can be directly used to reduce power conversion, further reduce fuel consumption, and take into account the power performance. You can switch between 3 gears and 2 gears above 80km/h, release 2680N·m, easily overtake, and the extreme speed can reach more than 220km/h. In plug-in and hybrid mode, the new car's range can reach 1300km, surpassing the competitors' car industry M5 and ideal L8.
In terms of configuration, Xingyue L extended-range electric version is even more indistinguishable. Triple screen, arrangement; Qualcomm 8155 top chip, arrangement; Yanfei Lishi high-end audio, arrangement; L2+ intelligent driving assistance, arrangement... You must admit that the practical and high-end configuration you can think of is all provided by this car. The only difference is that it does not have the same gimmick as ideal than actual gaming console, nor does it provide a glass roof that makes you unreasonable, just like the world.
If the success of the China Star series before this was to accurately grasp the pain points of Chinese consumers' "high price and low experience" for joint venture brand fuel vehicles, and to achieve subversion of joint venture brands through a series of dimensionality reduction strikes, then the Xingyue L extended-range electric version has accurately insight into the various anxiety of electric vehicle consumers, and to redefine electric vehicles, bringing a more comprehensive new solution.
Since the former can be successful, the latter will also have a high probability of continuing to make breakthroughs. The author believes that 550,000 vehicles are just the first step in the high-end development of the China Star series. With the birth of the Xingyue L extended-range electric version and the inauguration of more China Star series models in the future, China Star will surely continue to reach new heights.
