Geely Xingyuan officially hits the market, is it coming as the strongest competitor to BYD Dolphin?
MichaelOct 10, 2024, 12:17 PM
On October 9, 2024, Geely's new pure electric vehicle - Xingyuan, was officially launched in China. This small car targeting the entry-level market, with a limited-time price range of RMB 69,800-98,800, equivalent to RM 42,361-59,964, has shown great sincerity in terms of price. Its main selling points include fashionable exterior design, fine interior layout, intelligent configuration, and efficient power system, bringing a new choice of cost-effective pure electric travel for consumers.
I. Exterior: Fashionable and Cute, Popular Among Females
Geely Xingyuan has adopted a design style that is completely different from other Geely models in terms of exterior design. The whole car has smooth and round lines, creating a cute and fashionable atmosphere, which is also a common style for many entry-level electric vehicles nowadays. The front face adopts a closed design, and the triangular headlight shape is round, complementing the style of the whole car.
In terms of body size, the length, width, and height of Xingyuan are 4135/1805/1570mm, and the wheelbase is 2650mm. This size positioning puts it on the same level as models like the BYD Dolphin. They are obvious competitors in terms of positioning and size. On the detail part, the semi-hidden door handles, the maximum 16-inch wheel rims, and the personalized C-pillar design, keep Xingyuan from looking cheap.
II. Interior: Exquisite Layout, Intelligent Technology
Entering the interior, the interior design of Geely Xingyuan also impresses. The overall layout is simple yet sophisticated. From a material perspective, the door trim, co-driver's front panel, and other areas are presented through a 256-color ambient light, portraying the image of an urban skyscraper, enhancing the sense of technology and luxury in the car.
In terms of intelligence, Xingyuan is equipped with the Flyme Auto car machine system used by Geely's many new cars. The center is equipped with a 14.6-inch control screen, bringing a very strong sense of technology, while supporting Gaode Maps, seamless mobile interconnection, dual-zone voice dialogue, and 50W air-cooled wireless fast charging. This system has been installed on multiple Geely models, and the user response has been great. The high-end models will also offer panoramic imaging, front seat heating, and other functions to further enhance the driving experience.
III. Power: Efficient Range, Easy Commuting
In terms of power, Geely Xingyuan is built on the GEA new energy structure and adopts a rear-mounted single-motor drive. Depending on the configuration, the maximum power of the motor is 58kW and 85kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 130N·m and 150N·m respectively. In terms of range, Xingyuan offers two versions for consumers to choose from, with a range of 310km and 410km, and the fast charging time from 30-80% is only 21 minutes, and charging for 10 minutes can extend the range by 120km. Such power performance and endurance level are mainstream among models of the same price.
In terms of suspension, Xingyuan adopts a combination of front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, which is quite rare in the same class. The rear multi-link independent suspension has obvious advantages in structure and can provide a more comfortable and stable riding experience for riders.
Summary
As an entry-level small pure electric vehicle, Geely Xingyuan demonstrates admirable strength in terms of appearance, interior, intelligence, and power. Coupled with a relatively affordable price, it can become a new choice for pure electric travel with outstanding cost performance, and is expected to occupy a place in the entry-level pure electric market.
In terms of market competition, Xingyuan has formed a direct competition with models such as BYD Dolphin. As a new model, Xingyuan is still a new start in brand influence and market reputation, while BYD Dolphin already has a wide customer base and is currently a very popular representative of entry-level pure electric vehicles, occupying an important share of the market. For Xingyuan to overtake, there is still a great difficulty.
