Geely Xingyue L as a compact SUV size ceiling, its large interior space, intelligent configuration, and excellent power, has been a continuous hot sale since its launch. However, recently, Geely's Thor hybrid technology began to be fully rolled out, the first model is mounted on the Hoshikoshi L, today we test drive the model is Geely Thor L Thor Hi · X hybrid version.
In terms of appearance, Thor's version of the Hoshigoku L has many differences in the design of the details, in which its middle net has changed from a vertical bar to a flake matrix structure, and both sides of the logo and grille can emit light. The headlights still use three-stage daytime running lights, which also continues the characteristics of the star. At the same time, in the position of the air vent under the bumper, the line of outward radiation is also adopted, which looks more sci-fi.
In terms of side design, the Thor version has not changed compared to the ordinary version of the Hoshikoshi L. The spokes of its wheels use a smaller ventilation area, which can better reduce air resistance and improve the efficiency of energy recovery.
The tail still uses a penetrating taillight, with a vertical matrix effect, there is an american SUV aura, and the difference with the fuel version is only the Hoshigoku L nameplate in the lower right corner with the exclusive logo of Thor.
In terms of interior design, the Thor version of Hoshikoshi L adopts a blue and white color scheme, which echoes the sky and the sea, and is more in line with its senses as a new energy vehicle. The car system still uses three oversized screens, and the interior is also wrapped in leather in a large area, which is very good.
Its electronic gear lever looks a lot like a yacht's operating lever, and there is also a knob next to it that adjusts the driving mode to adjust different driving modes.
The car machine system still has a wealth of functions, with very practical apps such as WeChat and Bilibili. At the same time, the co-pilot screen can also watch movies, or help the driver set up navigation, sent to the home screen.
The blue and white colored seat looks more designed, with diamond-shaped stitching, delicate stitching and exquisite workmanship. And there is also the CMA logo on the back of the seat, symbolizing that this car uses a very advanced CMA architecture. And this set of seats also has a waist adjustment, the comfort is very good.
The rear space is indeed very spacious, and the backrest angle of the seat is also very comfortable, and the material of the chair surface is also very soft. And the middle platform is also relatively flat, when three people ride side by side, the horizontal and vertical space is very spacious.
The volume of the luggage compartment is also very impressive, especially when driving it out of this car, it can load more luggage. Especially now that the spring is in full bloom, it is indeed very suitable to go on an outing with it.
In terms of power, the Hoshigoku L Raytheon Hybrid Edition uses a 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 150 horsepower, the maximum power of the electric motor is 136 horsepower, the total power of the system is 180kW (245 horsepower), and the comprehensive torque is 545N·m. Its official 100-kilometer acceleration is 7.9 seconds, which is also good enough relative to its size.
The first feeling of the car's power performance is that it is very quiet. When starting to accelerate, the power output is very rapid, but the engine can hardly hear the sound, but the sound of the motor is more obvious. The whole acceleration process is also very smooth, and the shift process is almost not felt.
Here we will talk about its unique technology, which is the 3-stop DHT. To say that ordinary fuel vehicles are 7-speed, 8-speed, while electric vehicles are usually single-speed. Models with DHT transmissions actually combine tandem (range extender) and parallel (conventional hybrid) methods. The advantage of this is that at low and medium speeds, the vehicle can be fully driven by electricity, and the engine can also charge the battery at this time, rather than directly connected to the drive shaft.
In the case of medium and high speed, the high speed gear and overspeed gear can drive the vehicle in parallel with the motor to avoid the excessive energy consumption of the electric vehicle at high speed, and can also effectively reduce the power consumption and fuel consumption. At the same time, it can also achieve the performance advantages similar to the three-engine hybrid commonly used in European cars. This set of power in the range of 20-70km/h, 3-speed hybrid electric drive DHT Pro can achieve full speed domain parallel, drive electric cocoa, and achieve intelligent energy distribution.
In terms of chassis, Thor's version of the Star-Over L still continues the characteristics of the fuel version, and the steering is also very light and very easy to open. However, because the layout of the battery will reduce the center of gravity of the body very low, the advantage is that the suspension support is also very strong, and the body stability is excellent when bending on the ramp of the highway. But at the same time, the road sense is too clear, for the road surface bumps will be more sensitive, even if the suspension end also adds a lot of damping, but relative to the pure fuel version will still be harder. But in addition, the quietness of the car is much stronger than the pure fuel version, the tire noise in the engine compartment and the road surface is extremely low, and it is still very high-end car flavor.
Summary: Hoshikoshi L Thor Hi · The X Hybrid edition does get a noticeable boost in power, and the quietness of the ride is excellent. On the basis of good performance, fuel consumption has been greatly reduced. It can be said that it is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and at the same time there is no endurance anxiety, and the pure electric endurance can reach 1300 kilometers under full oil conditions. Its pre-sale price is in the two models, 17.17 and 183,700 yuan respectively, and its cost performance is also very good.
