Geely icon will be a hot-selling car in 22 when it comes to the store.
Written in the front:
When Geely announced the icon car one month before the p>219 Guangzhou Auto Show, it was quickly watched by the industry and formed the topic of a new high-tech car. One month later, at the 219 Guangzhou Auto Show, icon was officially unveiled and pre-sold. At the event site, 2,2 new Geely icon Galaxy limited-edition cars were snapped up in 15 minutes and 17 seconds, showing the popularity of this car. Recently, we saw this real car in a local 4S shop in Hebei, took a real shot at the store and conducted a short test drive.
The concept is the real car, and Geely is the representative of black technology in the icon era.
Every time we are 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 car, which can be said to be the gap between ideal and reality. However, the Geely icon car has almost achieved the concept car.
The limited edition at Guangzhou Auto Show was snapped up and bought blindly, which is enough to show the charm of the icon car. You know, at that time, the pre-sale guide price of Geely icon Galaxy Limited Edition was set at 132,2, to commemorate the opening of delivery on New Year's Day in 22. Such details are enough to see Geely's intentions.
When we arrived at the store, the icon at station C deserved it.
When we arrived at the 4S store of Baoyue Geely in Century Automobile City, South Street of Great Wall, Baoding, Hebei Province, a Geely icon was placed at position C in the exhibition hall. Although there were not many people looking at the car on weekdays, there were always people in Geely's exhibition hall looking at the car.
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 very interested in icon. As a new car with young elements of personalization and fashion, it is reasonable 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 hybrid combination all make this car look different. The new car is positioned as a compact SUV with a strong sense of future in design, which is completely different from Geely family products. This can be seen from its appearance and interior design. Geely icon highly restored 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 when matched with the front face of the new car. The chic water drop ripple air intake grille is a continuation of Geely's family-style design. If you cover up the logo, it's really hard to tell whether it's 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 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 mainly simple, and the matching design of the suspended roof and the two-color body, together with the chrome luggage rack and other elements, makes the icon look more dynamic. Dive to the waistline of the front of the car, making the whole car look more stereoscopic.
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 the two taillights, and the ∞ shape after the taillights are lit is highly recognizable. The new car's turn signal style can be selected from flowing water type and standard type to meet different consumption needs. The new car exhaust adopts bilateral hidden exhaust pipes, 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, we should emphasize that there are as many as seven car colors in the new car, and the exclusive color scheme of "Galaxy Limited Edition" is icon? 5 gray, when asked about this color, the salesman made it clear that this limited edition model had been booked in the first time. In addition, Geely ICON also provides icon? In six body colors, such as 8 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's interior design
Before we talk about the interior, we should mention the door handle design of icon's new car. If you can't see the door handle of the car from a distance, only carry the key with you, and the hidden door handle will pop up when you approach the car. This design will generally appear in luxury cars with more than 5,. It can be said that more than 1, icon are indeed full of sincerity.
when 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 interior colors of the car are also different. It looks bold, which is different from other Geely models. The first thing I saw when I entered the car was the 1.25-inch LCD instrument panel and the central control display with dual LCD screens, which supported three-finger sliding screen and realized dual-screen interaction, with a strong sense of science and technology.
Attention is also paid to the details of the air outlet design. For example, the air outlet is decorated with champagne gold color, which enhances the sense of advanced. The design shape of the air outlet is also "∞" shape, 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 nowadays.
in terms of intelligence, the 1.25-inch floating central control panel integrates the latest version of GKUI? Version 19 of the car interconnection system, the system has a brand-new UI operation interface, which provides information needed for daily travel such as navigation prediction, travel and weather, and takes into account touch screen interaction and voice interaction, and the recognition of voice interaction is quite high.
it is worth mentioning that the new gear lever is exquisitely shaped and brand-new in design, and it is rare to use electronic gear lever in this model level.
in addition, there are keyless entry, one-button start, three-position multi-function steering wheel, mobile phone key, car enjoyment, L2-level automatic driving, electric tailgate, 54-degree panoramic perspective image, 36 HD driving recorder, BSD blind spot monitoring, intelligent induction light greeting and so on.
the whole department 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?
There is enough space, and the comfort in the same class is outstanding
When we went to the store for real shooting, 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 435/181/1615mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 264mm. The body size has no sense of winning in the same class, but it is completely sufficient.
for the experiencer with a height of 18cm, after adjusting the comfortable sitting posture in the front row, the space in the rear row can meet the requirements, and the space in the head, legs and knees in the front and rear rows is rich to some extent.
In addition, there are storage spaces in front and under the electronic gear lever, which is very intimate. In addition, there are glove boxes, armrest boxes and door panels in the car. According to our rough statistics, icon has more than 3 storage spaces in the whole car.
thanks to the ergonomic seat, the comfort of this car is superior to that of the same 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 sight, it feels bright in the car. After driving out, I look up at the sky and feel that the space inside the car has expanded a lot.
abundant power, flexible control and solid chassis
finally, let's talk about power. The driving distance to the store is not long, but we basically feel the power of this car. Geely icon is equipped with a 1.5TD turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 13kW(177 HP) and a maximum torque of 255N·m, which is matched with a 7-speed powershift.
in addition, the new car is also equipped with 48V? BSG motor can make up for the turbine lag at low speed, shift gears simply without dragging feet, without obvious sense of frustration, and the dynamic response is very good. When starting at the green light and overtaking in the city, as long as the throttle is in place, the desired action is still very easy.
in terms of chassis, Geely icon uses the front McPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension combination, which is more comfortable, and it has dual-mode chassis adjustment of sports and comfort.
in addition, the low-profile models of the new car use 17-18-inch rims, while the high-profile models use 19-inch continental UC6? SUV tires are more athletic. Thanks to its good electronic power steering system, it has high accuracy, which can be said to refer to where to hit. The steering wheel is solid, but even the female driver can operate easily.
written at the end:
Geely icon has been watched since its launch, but it was snapped up as soon as the pre-sale was opened, so it can be said that it is already very hot. Judging from the design of icon's avant-garde sci-fi, 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 people-friendly. Power combination of 1.5T+7DCT plus 48V? With the assistance of BSG motor, the power of this car is stronger, 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. Can the conceptual mass production design be recognized by consumers and succeed? The former Land Rover evoque is an example. Then whether the icon can become a successful conceptual mass production China brand SUV can only be verified when the new car is put on the market. Perhaps Geely icon will become another hot-selling new car in 22, because this car will be on sale on Valentine's Day on February 14th.
