One month before 20 19 Guangzhou Auto Show, when Geely announced the icon car, it was quickly concerned by the industry and formed the topic of new technology car. One month later, at 20 19 Guangzhou Auto Show, icon was officially unveiled and pre-sold. At the event site, 2,020 brand-new Geely icon Galaxy limited-edition cars were snapped up in15min17seconds, showing the popularity of this car. Recently, we saw this real car in a local store in 4S, Hebei Province, took a real shot of the store and had a short test drive.
The concept is the real car, and Geely is the representative of black technology in the icon age.
Every time at foreign and domestic auto shows, we will see many concept cars, but many people also know that the design and configuration of concept cars and even the power system are far from the real cars, which can be said to be the gap between ideal and reality. But the Geely icon car almost achieved the concept car.
The limited edition of Guangzhou Auto Show was snapped up blindly, which is enough to see the charm of icon. You know, at that time, the pre-sale guide price of the limited edition of Geely icon Galaxy was set at 65,438+0.3202 million to commemorate the opening and delivery on New Year's Day in 2020. Such details are enough to see Geely's intentions.
When you go to the store to shoot, the icon of station C is well deserved.
After arriving at the store, we came to Bao Yue Geely 4S store located in Century Automobile City, Changcheng South Street, Baoding, Hebei. An auspicious icon is placed in the C position of the exhibition hall. Although there are not many people watching cars on weekdays, there are always people watching cars in different stores in Geely's exhibition hall.
Judging from the crowd of customers in the lobby, many people saw the car icon at first sight and have been consulting around it. It can be seen that many people are interested in icon. As a new car full of personalized and fashionable young elements, it makes sense for icon to become the focus of attention, because it has such attraction.
Icon's brand-new design language, brand-new architecture, intelligent interconnection and light-mixed combination all make this car look different. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV, which has a strong sense of the future in design and is completely different from Geely family products. This can be seen from its appearance and interior design. Geely icon highly restores the concept? ICON concept car, the front face is simple but highly recognizable.
The integrated daytime running lights and running water turn signals are more sci-fi than the front face of the new car, and the chic water drop corrugated air intake grille is a continuation of Geely's family-style design. If the logo is covered, it is really difficult to tell whether it is a domestic car or a joint venture car. We can see icon's split rounded rectangular independent headlight structure, which is highly recognizable. With the independent rectangular air intake grille design, it is quite scientific and avant-garde, which is difficult to see on the production car.
From the front of the car to the side of the car, you will find that the side design of the new car is simple, and the matching design of the suspended roof and the two-color car body, together with chrome-plated luggage rack and other elements, makes the icon look more dynamic. Dive to the waistline of the front of the car to make the whole car look more three-dimensional.
From the side of the car to the rear of the car, the design of the rear of the new car is simple but artistic. Thanks to the addition of the tail line, the layering is more distinct. Geely's English logo is placed between two taillights, and the ∞ shape recognition after the taillights are lit is very high. The new car's turn signal styles are available in flowing and standard styles to meet different consumer needs. The exhaust of the new car adopts two hidden exhaust pipes on both sides, which shows personality and movement. In addition, the design of rounded rectangular five-spoke large-size wheels also makes this car look more wild and sporty.
Regarding the body color of Geely icon, it should be emphasized that there are as many as seven new car colors, and the exclusive color scheme of "Galaxy Limited Edition" is ICON? 50 gray, when asked about this color, the salesman made it clear that this limited edition had been booked at the first time. In addition, Geely ICON also provides icon? Among the six body colors, such as 80 gray, ICON blue, ICON green, ICON gold, ICON red and ICON white, we photographed the car with ICON blue, which looks not only more sporty but also younger.
Luxury and technology are the labels of icon interior design.
Before talking about the interior, I want to mention the door handle design of icon's new car. If you can't see the door handle of the car from a distance, just take the key with you and the hidden door handle will pop up when you are close to the car. This design will generally appear in luxury cars with more than 500 thousand. It can be said that more than 65438+ 10,000 icon are indeed full of sincerity.
Entering the Geely icon car, the 72-color breathing atmosphere light comes on actively, and the colors are switched in real time.
The interior of the car is a two-color match, and the colors inside the car are different. It seems that the design is bold, which is different from other Geely models. The first thing you see when you enter the car is the 10.25-inch LCD dashboard and the central control display screen with dual LCD screens, which supports three-finger sliding screen and realizes dual-screen interaction, and has a strong sense of science and technology.
The design of the air outlet also pays great attention to details. For example, the air outlet is decorated with champagne gold color matching, which enhances the sense of high quality. The design of the air outlet is also "∞" shaped, which echoes the brand-new LOGO.
It is worth mentioning that the new car provides wireless charging function, which is very practical for young people now.
In terms of intelligence, 10.25 inch floating central control panel integrates the latest version of GKUI? In-vehicle interconnection system 19 version, with a brand-new UI operation interface, provides information needed for daily travel such as navigation prediction, travel, weather, etc., taking into account touch screen interaction and voice interaction, and the recognition degree of voice interaction is quite high.
It is worth mentioning that the new gear lever is exquisite in shape and brand-new in design, and it is rare to use electronic gear lever at this model level.
In addition, keyless entry, one-button start, three-position multi-function steering wheel, mobile phone key, car enjoyment, L2 automatic driving, electric tailgate, 540-degree panoramic perspective image, 360-degree high-definition driving recorder, BSD blind spot monitoring, intelligent induction lighting greeting and so on.
The whole system also comes standard with a new generation of APA automatic parking, and there are more than ten functional configurations such as ICC adaptive cruise, AEB urban pre-collision system, LKA lane keeping, AEB urban pre-collision system, and SLIF traffic speed limit sign recognition. Is it sincere to have these configurations at this level?
Enough space, outstanding comfort in the same level.
When we went to the store to shoot, we also experienced the spatial performance of the icon car. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4350/1811615 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640 mm The body size is not the best in the same class, but it is completely sufficient.
For the experiencers with height 180cm, after adjusting the comfortable sitting posture in the front row, the space in the rear row can meet the use requirements, and the space in the head, legs and knees in the front and rear rows is rich to some extent.
In addition, the electronic shift lever has storage space before and after, which is very intimate. Plus the glove box, armrest box and door panel in the car, we made a rough statistics. Icon has more than 30 storage spaces in the whole vehicle.
Thanks to the ergonomic seat, the comfort of this car is beyond its class, whether driving or riding. Another point is that the trunk of the icon is very regular, and the rear seats support falling down to expand more storage space.
It is worth mentioning that the new car also provides a panoramic large-size canopy. At first glance, it feels bright in the car. After driving out, I looked up at the sky and felt that the space inside the car had expanded a lot.
Full of power, flexible control and solid chassis.
Finally, talk about motivation. It's not a long drive to the store, but we basically feel the power of this car. Geely icon is equipped with 1.5TD turbocharged engine, with maximum power 130kW( 177 HP) and maximum torque of 255n·m, matching with 7-speed power shift.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with 48V? At low speed, BSG motor can make up for the turbine lag, with simple shifting, no obvious sense of frustration and excellent dynamic response. The green light starts, and when the city overtakes, as long as the throttle is in place, the desired action is still very easy.
In terms of chassis, Geely icon adopts the front and rear independent suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-links, which is more comfortable. It has dual-mode chassis adjustment for sports and comfort.
In addition, 17- 18-inch rims are used for low-profile models of new cars, and 19-inch continental UC6 is used for high-profile models. SUV tires are more sporty. Thanks to its good electronic power steering system, it has high accuracy and can be said that it refers to where to play. The steering wheel is solid, but even a female driver can operate it easily.
Write at the end:
Geely icon has been seen since its launch, and it was snapped up as soon as the pre-sale was opened. It can be said that it is already very hot. Judging from the avant-garde sci-fi design of icon, the high-value design is aimed at the crowd and tends to young consumers.
From the practical point of view, whether it is the materials and workmanship of the interior, or the intelligent, scientific and safe configuration, it is quite sincere, and enough space and comfort make this car more intimate. 1.5T+7DCT plus 48V power combination? With the help of BSG, this car is more powerful, and thanks to good international chassis team training, it is more comfortable to drive.
Geely icon is different from many well-behaved SUVs on the market, and it is also very different from some coupe SUVs. Whether the conceptual mass production design can be recognized by consumers and be successful is an example of Land Rover Aurora. Therefore, whether icon can become a successful conceptual mass production China brand SUV can only be verified when a new car is put on the market. Perhaps Geely icon will become another hot-selling new car in 2020, because this car will be launched on Valentine's Day in February 14.
