One car roof three cars! Xingyue L Hi · P listed, 250,000 worth it?
Let’s take a look at a set of data. In the first 10 months of 2022, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in our country exceeded 5 million, and the year-on-year growth rate doubled, continuing to maintain a high growth trend. It shows that the rapid growth of new energy is no longer policy-oriented, but more consumer concepts and acceptance are changing rapidly.
And independent brands in the new energy matter, the contribution is definitely accounted for the majority. Among them, Geely Automobile from January to October this year, its cumulative sales of new energy has reached 249,500 vehicles, and the results of new energy transformation are prominent. In addition to several independent new energy brands, Geely’s "Thor Hybrid" launch also plays a significant role in boosting the brand’s new energy run.
One car gets three cars, and if you buy it, you will arrive?
Xingyue L, as the first product equipped with Raytheon Hybrid, the launch of the fuel version has allowed us to see its leapfrog product power and high quality and price ratio. Then the blessing of Raytheon Hybrid is the icing on the cake. On 11.25, Xingyue L Hi · P Extended Range Edition was also officially launched. The new car launched 2 models, and the price 23.97-25 3,700 yuan after comprehensive subsidies.
Xingyue L Hi · P is built based on the e-CMA intelligent super power architecture. The new car has three electric modes of "pure electricity, range extension, and electric hybrid", and has four innovative electric attributes of "urban pure electricity, long-distance power generation, fast charging, and camping discharge", covering the whole travel scene. It can be said that it has the hard core strength of "one car to three cars".
The extended range version of the model is actually not much different from the gasoline-electric hybrid in terms of appearance design and interior, and it is mainly adjusted in some details. For example, the redesigned fog lamp area on the front bumper is not only more closed, but the design of the same color as the body also further enhances the model recognition. Others generally still use a more three-dimensional front face and a semi-closed air intake grille, with a square light group shape, the entire front face is still quite imposing in visual effect.
The body size of Xingyue L Hi · P is 4770 * 1895 * 1689mm, and the wheelbase is 2845mm, which is consistent with the Xingyue L Thor Hi · F version. Although it is officially positioned as a compact SUV, from the size point of view, it can be seen that it is larger than many joint venture medium-sized SUVs, which means a bit of dimension reduction.
The value of "China Star" is highlighted, and Thor’s hybrid blessing is developed
For the new car, the biggest highlight is of course the power system. The Xingyue L Hi · P is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine + motor, which is actually the Raytheon Smart Engine hybrid system. The key point is that the Xingyue L Hi · P comes standard with a 41.2kWh CTP flat-panel battery, which is close to the current popular range-extending models. Take the ideal one as an example, its battery capacity is 40.5kWh. This also provides the basis for the extended range mode of the Xingyue L Hi · P. Under WLTC conditions, the pure electric battery life can reach 205km, far exceeding that of plug-in hybrid models of the same class.
Thanks to its first 3-speed variable frequency electric drive, through Raytheon intelligent energy management technology, it can realize full-speed series-parallel connection, three-speed transmission of electric drive, and intelligent adjustment of 20 working modes. In terms of energy replenishment, Xingyue L Hi · P comes standard with a maximum of 85kW DC fast charge, which takes only 27 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. In addition, 6.6kW household slow charge is standard, and 3.3kW external discharge can meet the power demand of camping for more than 12 hours.
Since Geely launched the China Star high-end series, its products have been selling well. In the past October, the China Star series exceeded 30,000 units, an increase of about 32% month-on-month. Among them, the sales of popular models Xingyue L and Xingrui exceeded 10,000. As of the end of October, the cumulative sales of China Star are about to break through 500,000, and the brand will continue to be promoted by high-value products.
Among them, the launch of the Xingyue L Raytheon series has enriched the car’s model configuration, covering fuel, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid power systems, meeting the different needs of users. At the same time, from the data, the cumulative sales of Raytheon hybrid from January to October have reached 48,570 vehicles, and the acceleration is still increasing.
Write at the end: From Geely’s sales structure in the past two years, it can be seen that the entry-level scooters that have been in volume in the past are quietly moving in the direction of high value and high quality and price ratio, and the overall sales "gold content" is constantly rising. Xingyue L Hi P, as a new masterpiece of Geely’s brand electrification development, will accelerate Geely’s transformation to intelligent electrification with its technical strength beyond competitors.
