Geely Xingrui Booming Edition, Another Joint Venture Killer?
The models with the price of 100,000-150,000 have always been just-needed models. Worry-free, durability, good reputation and fuel economy have always been the core requirements of consumers at this price, so those models have always sold well, but mainly cars.
Needless to say, the joint venture, Lavida, Sylphy, Corolla, Lei Ling, Sagitar, the five basic perennial list. There are also several domestic models that sell well, and the first one is definitely BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, which is quickly out of the circle with the advantages of hybrid and green cards. Among the traditional fuel vehicles, there are Geely Xingrui and Changan UNI-V, especially Geely Xingrui. With the 2.0T engine and large space, it has successfully attracted many consumers to pay the bill.
Recently, in order to lower the threshold, Geely Xingrui launched a 1.5TD version with a lower price, of which the price of the whirlwind version directly came to 108,700. So today, let’s take a look at the Geely Xingrui Booming Edition. Is it worth buying after the price is reduced?
What are the highlights of the new car?
In appearance, Xingrui’s whirlwind version is consistent with the 2.0TD model. If you don’t look at the body nameplate, you won’t feel that this is a whirlwind version of 1.5TD.
The front of the new car still adopts the fashionable straight waterfall net, and the patchwork three-dimensional design spreads from the middle to both sides, and with the three-stage daytime running lights, it adds fashion and elegance to the front.
And the redesigned front bumper has a more exquisite shape, which makes the front of the car more tense. The addition of the black logo also gives the Xingrui whirlwind version a sense of movement.
On the side of the car, the lines of the new car are still so simple and slender, and a waistline runs through the whole car, which is very powerful.
In terms of size, the booster version and the 2.0TD version are exactly the same, with a length, width and height of 4785/1869/1469 mm and a wheelbase of 2800 mm. Therefore, the spatial performance of Xingrui’s whirlwind version is definitely better than that of the same price model, because you can only buy Sylphy Classic and LaVida cutting-edge joint venture cars with the same price.
Therefore, Xingrui’s whirlwind version is really a dimension reduction blow in front of them, and it is completely emboldened to say that it is the price of A-class cars and the space of B-class cars.
The rear shape of the whirlwind version is still calm and atmospheric, and the taillights are penetrated by a chrome-plated decorative strip, which is very distinctive. And the turn signal also has the function of running water, which is very recognizable after lighting.
However, in appearance, the whirlwind version has its own unique color, which is officially called "mining cyan". It has to be said that this color is very textured from a distance and is really a perfect match with Xingrui.
In the interior, the difference between the booster version and other models is also very small. The LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch central control screen are still there, and the resolution of the central control screen is 1920x720px. At the same time, the configuration of the car is also very rich, integrating entertainment, navigation, voice, Bluetooth and 360-degree panoramic images and other rich application functions.
In addition, the steering wheel and seat of the booster version are wrapped in leather, which is worthy of praise. The interior of the new car is mainly black, but it is not all black. In the center console, the panel decoration, door panel and seat stitching are all treated with bright yellow contrast, which adds a lot of sense of movement and fashion.
However, the biggest highlight of the new car is its powertrain. The turbo version adopts the power combination of 1.5TD+7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 181 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. Compared with the 2.0TD model, the maximum horsepower is only 9 less, and the maximum torque is only 10 Nm less.
Is the new car worth buying?
The largest whirlwind version uses a 1.5TD engine, but the gap with the 2.0TD model is very small in terms of data and actual experience. Although 9 horsepower and 10 Nm are missing, the price is 17,000 yuan cheaper.
And in terms of configuration, such as openable panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking radar, 540-degree transparent chassis, tire pressure monitoring, automatic parking, Gaode map, keyless start+keyless entry, Bluetooth key, remote start, automatic headlights, multi-function rearview mirror, Geely Galaxy OS smart car, 4G car networking, Wi-Fi hotspot, OTA upgrade, electronic gear handle, multi-function steering wheel, leather steering wheel and seat, main
Therefore, the Xingrui Boom Edition has indeed achieved a high match, and it is a completely different experience to compare the joint venture car with the same price.
Moreover, the configuration like the 540-degree transparent chassis doesn’t even have the 2.0TD luxury model of 125,700 yuan, so it can be seen that Geely is "eccentric" to the perfunctory version.
On the whole, the launch of the soaring version of Xingrui really lowered the entry threshold of Xingrui, but the gap between the power and the 2.0TD model is not obvious. More importantly, the configuration is similar to that of the 2.0TD model, and it has indeed achieved the entry and high allocation. Therefore, the whirlwind version has been launched, and it has become the most cost-effective configuration in Xingrui models at present, and there is no one.
So with the same guide price budget, will you buy a joint venture car or a 108,700 Geely Xingrui soaring version?
