Bitauto Original Geely’s new Haoyue has recently been launched. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV. The powertrain uses a 1.8T four-cylinder engine, paired with a 7-speed Wet dual clutch transmission. The selling price range is from 103,600 yuan to 139,600 yuan. According to the news released by the manufacturer at the launch site, the entire series comes standard with five-seater models. Any one model can be upgraded to a 7-seater model for +3,000 yuan, which is very cost-effective.

The new Haoyue launched this time adopts what is officially called Geely 4.0 Space-Time Symphony design concept, and the front face adopts energy chords style front grille, and all series are equipped with LED light source headlights as standard. In terms of appearance, the new Haoyue has been greatly improved compared to the old model.

The headlights on the new Haoyue are provided by Valeo. This headlight is equipped with very powerful functions, including automatic height adjustment, active avoidance of the lights of oncoming vehicles, and AFS active corner lighting function. The actual experience is quite excellent.

The well-proportioned lines outline the body, and the main waistline leaps and rises, making the entire side of the body look full of tension. Except for the automatic model, all models are equipped with roof racks as standard. In this level of models, this equipment usually only appears on top models. Only one carrier is required, and large items such as bicycles and roof luggage can be easily carried.

Black boomerang-shaped glossy surface Cut, the 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels have a sharp shape and add a bit of sportiness. The tires are from the Kumho Solus series, with specifications of 235/50R19.

In the rear part of the car, the new Haoyue adopts what Geely officially calls a wind-sculpted three-dimensional design, with a tough shape and a strong three-dimensional effect. At the same time, the trunk door also uses an electric anti-pinch tailgate, but this feature can only be seen on the top model.

The interior of the new Haoyue adopts a contrasting color combination of red brown and pure black, with clear layers. The luminous decorative strips embedded in the seams of the central control can be freely selected from 72 colors. Of course, this is also a feature only available on top-end models. All models come standard with a multifunctional flat-bottomed steering wheel wrapped in super fiber material, which has a unique shape and a delicate feel.

All new Haoyue series come standard with what Geely officially calls an avionics electronic shifting mechanism, which saves space in the car while , and also eliminates the possibility of misoperation. 12.3-inch floating central control screen, all models come standard with reversing radar and image display. High-end models are also equipped with a reverse collision warning function that is usually only found on luxury models.

In terms of seat layout, all series come standard with five seats (2+3 layout), but all series can be upgraded to 7 seats for an additional 3,000 yuan. Seat models (2+3+2 layout), except automatic aggressiveOutside the exterior, all models are equipped with leather wrapping materials as standard, and the two high-end models are also equipped with electric-adjustable front seats.

In terms of the front row space of the new Haoyue, an experiencer with a height of 173cm can sit in the front row and adjust to a safe sitting position with head space. For one palm.

The same experiencers sat in the second row without moving the front seats. In the second row, headroom is one punch and three fingers, and knee room is two punches.

The seven-seater model we tested this time, so when the experiencer sat in the third row, there was a lot of headroom. Knee space is one punch and two fingers away.

The middle row and rear seats of the new Haoyue 7-seater model can be folded down independently, and after being folded down, it can basically be "pure" "flat" state. After all the middle row and rear seats are folded down, the entire back space reaches 2360L, with a maximum depth of 2200mm from the tailgate to the end of the front seats, which is very convenient when carrying large luggage.

All new Haoyue series are equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.8L, with a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 300N·m. It is matched with 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

In terms of chassis, the new Haoyue adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear composite multi-link non-independent suspension. In terms of drive mode, all series adopt front-wheel drive mode.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect a high-end driving experience from a 7-seater medium-sized SUV priced at 150,000 yuan. , is not reasonable either. However, the ride experience of the new Haoyue is still better than that of joint venture models in the same price range. Let's put it this way, you can usually only buy compact or even small SUVs in joint venture models in the same price range. In terms of riding experience, especially in terms of space performance, the new Haoyue has won.

The 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Haoyue has a maximum power of 135kW and a peak torque of 300N·m. On urban roads, the initial power output of this engine is relatively "gentle". The new Haoyue does not "move" when you tap the accelerator lightly, but when you step on the accelerator deeply, there will be a significant difference. But overall, the power of this engine is quite sufficient, and it will not be stressful for daily driving.

The overall driving posture of the new Haoyue is relatively high, so it has an advantage over cars in terms of sight. At the same time, with the blessing of HUD, it will be relatively clear even when driving on unfamiliar roads. easy. At the same time, the padding of the seats is relatively good. When the road conditions are relatively poor, the shock absorbers and the seat cushions work together to filter vibrations from the bottom of the car, and the final feedback to the driver is very slight.

As for the gearbox, this 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox gives me the feeling that it is biased toward "economical" adjustment and can operate at a speed of 80km/h. Up to 7th gear.However, when the accelerator is pressed deeply, the gearbox can also quickly lower the gear, giving a better power performance. However, when the driver maintains a gentle opening of the accelerator, the gearbox will immediately increase the gear to the speed allowed. The highest gear ensures economy at all times.

The new Haoyue adopts a front-wheel drive form, but provides three additional driving modes for free switching, namely ECO (economic mode) and COMFORT (comfort mode) ) and SPORT (sport mode). However, in the three economic modes, the gearbox's shifting logic is more "lazy" than in the comfort mode. Basically, you can upshift as soon as you release the accelerator. In the sports mode, the relatively "aggressive" will push the speed to a relatively high range before upshifting.

The NVH level of the new Haoyue is very high. I am deeply impressed by how quiet the interior space is when driving. There is basically no vibration at idle speed, and the speed does not exceed 80km/h. /h, wind noise and road noise are very small.

Editor’s comment: The domestic SUV market is highly competitive. The new Haoyue launched this time is very cost-effective and can indeed occupy a certain position in the face of competition. Advantages. However, as domestic consumers' requirements for automobile quality and grade continue to rise, if Xinhaoyue wants to gain a larger market share, it will inevitably have to work hard on the sense of grade. I suggest that friends who are interested in Xinhaoyue may go and take a look at it. As for how consumers understand it, we will wait and see. I hope that Xinhaoyue can achieve excellent sales performance.
