Perhaps it is unwilling to be monopolized by joint ventures in the car market. Recently, Geely Automobile officially launched a heavy compact car-? Xingrui, officially known as the "subversive" in the field of family cars, has a guide price of11.37-149700.
At first glance, the price is almost the same as that of joint venture compact cars such as Sylphy and LaVida. How dare you call yourself a subversive? What kind of strength is there? Let's take a look together.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts Geely's brand-new 4.0 design language, and the front face adopts shield shape, straight waterfall net, three-stage daytime running lights and sharp headlights, which is quite Volvo's feeling.

Five-spoke sports wheels with slender double waistlines on the side. The shape of the rear end tends to be simple, and the middle of the taillight group is connected by chrome trim. At the same time, with the bilateral exhaust layout, the overall sense of movement is still relatively strong.

In terms of interior, Geely Xingrui focuses on the scientific and technological route, with straight lines and simple layout, a three-position steering wheel wrapped in leather, a 12.3-inch floating central control large screen and a yacht-type electronic gear handle. At the same time, the details are mostly made of leather and metal, which feels simple without losing the texture.

Of course, it is not enough to look good, so Geely also gave Xingrui a "cheating" body size: length 4785mm, width 1869mm and wheelbase 2800 mm. There are basically no compact cars that can compete with them, and they are also A+ class models.
In terms of power, Geely Xingrui comes standard with Volvo Drive-E series 2.0TD in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine, with maximum horsepower 190 horsepower and maximum torque of 300 N m. This engine is also used in Volvo S60 and Link 03. In terms of transmission, the new car matches the 7-speed DCT dual-clutch gearbox.
Just from the maximum horsepower of 190, many people should think that this 2.0T data is a bit ordinary. After all, the maximum horsepower of 1.5T on Honda Accord is 193. But compared with the compact car at the same price, we can find that this engine not only has the largest displacement, but also has the strongest power.
From the perspective of the largest space at the same level and the strongest power at the same price, Geely Xingrui can indeed be regarded as the "subversive" of family cars. However, no car is perfect. Whether you can accept its shortcomings determines whether consumers will choose it.
Geely Xingrui also has some points that make consumers hesitate. First, although the fuel consumption of Xingrui's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 6.7L/ 100km, it needs to add 95 # gasoline. However, the current fuel price is not high, and there is little difference between No.95 and No.92 gasoline.
Secondly, the problem of maintenance cost. Starting from Volvo 2.0T engine, the maintenance cost has been forcibly upgraded to a higher level while increasing the power of Xingrui. Although Geely's maintenance time and accessories will be relatively close to the people, referring to Lexus 03 equipped with the same 2.0T engine, the problem should not be great, and the average maintenance price of Xingrui is approaching the thousand yuan mark.
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. If you enjoy the advantages brought by Volvo 2.0T power, you must pay the corresponding price, but when consumers pay for it, they must measure whether it is worth it. On the other hand, besides Geely Xingrui, what other car can make people buy a large space close to a B-class car for less than120,000, as well as a strong power of 2.0T?
As a banner of Geely's re-entry into the auto market, Jiangge's overall attitude towards Xingrui is still relatively optimistic, and it should be regarded as the best domestic car in the field of compact cars. As for whether it can sell better than cars of the same level as Sylphy, LaVida and Civic, we should also observe its long-term performance and the degree of consumer recognition. If you have the budget to buy a car, will you consider Geely Xingrui?
