As the leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in China, Chezhi. com launched the column of "New Car Commodity Evaluation" based on massive automobile product test samples and scientific data model. Every month, according to several models on sale that have been listed in China for less than two years, and the mileage is less than 5,000 kilometers, through the two dimensions of objective data and subjective feelings, senior appraisers use professional equipment to systematically test and evaluate, so as to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market and provide objective and true opinions for consumers when purchasing vehicles.
With the continuous efforts of independent brands in the field of electrification, more and more domestic hybrid models have entered everyone’s sight, and Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is one of them. The new car inherits the leapfrog positioning and simple design of Xingrui family, and has outstanding performance in intelligent technology configuration and fuel economy. According to the data of Chezhi. com, as of press time, the cumulative number of complaints of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing since its listing is only three, and its word-of-mouth performance is stable in the short term. Then, can the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing continue the existing word-of-mouth performance? Will there be some new problems that ordinary consumers can’t find? This issue of "new car commodity evaluation" will clear the fog for you, and restore a real 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing through objective data and subjective feelings.
I. Objective data
This project mainly shows the performance of the new car in terms of merchandise in an all-round way in the form of objective data through the field tests of 12 items such as body technology, paint film level, air quality inside the car, vibration and noise, parking radar and lighting/vision.
In the process of body testing, 10 key parts are selected for the whole vehicle, and 3 key points are selected for each key part to measure, so as to evaluate the uniformity of gaps in each key part. According to the test results, the average gap between the rear fender and the trunk on both sides of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is high, while the average gap in other parts is relatively low and the uniformity is good, so the vehicle technology level is remarkable.
In the test of paint film level, it can be found that the average thickness of paint film of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing vehicle is about 165.5μm, and the data level exceeds the standard value of advanced vehicles (120μm-150μm). According to the test data of key parts, except for the high paint film thickness of the trunk, the spraying uniformity of other parts is good, and the overall test results are excellent.
In the test of indoor air quality, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with few vehicles, and no formaldehyde was detected in the car of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing, which fully met the relevant standards in the Guide for Air Quality Evaluation in Passenger Cars (People’s Republic of China (PRC) National Standard GB/T 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on March 1, 2012.
In the static noise test, the measured noise value of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing in the stationary state is 30dB, which reaches the lowest value of the test instrument. Because the car is equipped with a hybrid electric system, the engine does not work by default at idle speed, so it is impossible to test the noise of the engine at 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm.
In the air conditioning noise test, the test instrument is placed about 10cm away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, and then the air volume of the air conditioner is increased from small to large, and the noise value of the driver’s position in different gears is measured. According to the actual measurement, the air conditioning regulation of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is divided into 9 grades, and the noise value measured when the top grade is turned on is 65.9dB, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same class.
In the static in-vehicle vibration test, the vibration value at the steering wheel of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is always 0, and the vibration values of the front and rear seats are also at a low level and remain unchanged, with little sense of body.
In addition, we also tested the parking radar, lighting/vision, control system, tires, sunroof, seat and trunk. After testing, the skylight area ratio and openable area of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing are considerable, which can provide good lighting and ventilation effects. The tires of the evaluation car adopt ATLAS AS330 series products, and adopt variable pitch pattern design, which can significantly reduce driving noise. The specification is 225/45 R18. Relatively speaking, the step difference between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is small, and it is easy to step on it. In addition, the length of the rear seat cushion is short, and it is easy to feel tired when riding for a long time.
Second, subjective feelings
This project is evaluated subjectively by several judges according to the actual static and dynamic performance of new cars. Among them, the static aspect includes four parts: external, internal, spatial and human-computer interaction; Dynamic aspects include acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. Finally, the total score is given by comprehensively referring to the subjective evaluation opinions of the judges, and the actual performance of the new car in terms of commodity is reflected from the perspective of subjective feelings.
In the external feeling evaluation, the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing adopted a brand-new style of LED headlights and penetrating LED taillights, and provided automatic headlights, adaptive far and near light and running water turn signals, which effectively improved the recognition and sense of science and technology. The engine compartment cover is supported by double hydraulic rods, which makes it easy to open or close. The disadvantage is that the mechanical keyhole adopts hidden design, which is not convenient to use.
In the internal feeling evaluation, the overall design style of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is more concise than that of Xingrui, and at the same time, it incorporates the through air conditioning air outlet and the double-color steering wheel, which makes the visual effect more upscale. The instrument panel is made of plastic-lined material, wood grain decoration and leather fabric, which shows the luxurious texture.
A set of USB Type-A+USB Type-C interfaces are respectively provided under the storage compartment of the front central channel and the air outlet of the rear air conditioner, and a mobile phone wireless charging board supporting 50W fast charging is also provided under the central control screen, so as to meet the charging needs of the occupants in the car to the maximum extent.
The front seat space of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is satisfactory. In contrast, the rear head space is slightly cramped. The overall storage space in the car is not much, and the internal volume of the central armrest box is limited, but the glove box is relatively large and practical.
The 13.2-inch central control panel supports 2K HD display, with high screen definition and exquisite picture. The screen is equipped with Galaxy OS 2.0 car engine system, which runs smoothly with the blessing of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. In terms of human-computer interaction, intelligent voice system not only supports full-scene dialogue, but also provides a more practical one-word function. The measured voice system can quickly respond to instructions, and can easily identify fuzzy semantics, and can control functions such as sunroof and seat heating through voice.
The 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is equipped with a power combination of a 1.5T four-cylinder hybrid special engine and a 3-speed DHT gearbox. The engine adopts Miller cycle, and the thermal efficiency is as high as 44.26%. Due to the P1+P2 dual-motor structure, the driving motors will be in working state in most speed intervals, which makes the power output more coherent and the driving experience very light compared with the single-motor vehicle.
The smoothness of the 3-speed DHT gearbox is excellent, and the "presence" is not obvious during daily driving. The brake pedal stroke is moderate, the initial stage can also provide sufficient braking force, and the braking force release in the middle and rear stages is more linear, bringing people a safe and comfortable driving experience.
The steering force defaults to soft mode, the steering wheel feels light, and the relatively vague road feeling feedback creates a pleasant driving atmosphere, which is in line with the positioning of its family car. At the same time, the relatively small turning radius also ensures the flexibility of daily driving, and it is very easy to complete the U-turn at the intersection.
The chassis adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. The suspension is extremely tough and belongs to the type of rigid and flexible. When driving in a curve, the suppression of roll is in place, but when passing through a bumpy road, the suspension rebounds quickly and can effectively filter the vibration.
The 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is equipped with L2-class assisted driving system, and the test model is also equipped with many high-level functions. The warning range of the blind spot monitoring function is reasonable, and the semi-arc warning light belt on the exterior rearview mirror is also very eye-catching. It is natural to accelerate and decelerate in the process of full-speed adaptive cruise following the car, but the distance between following the car and the preceding car is slightly larger in the nearest gear, which is easy to be jammed by other vehicles.
Summary:
Based on the above test results, it is concluded that the overall performance of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing in terms of objective data and subjective feelings has reached the expectations of the expert jury. On the objective data level, the body technology and paint film level are satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement in the length of the rear seat cushion. On the subjective feeling level, the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing has performed well in lighting recognition, interior materials and human-computer interaction, but the convenience of using mechanical keys and the distance between the cruise system and the car need to be improved, and the head space in the back row and the volume of the central armrest box are also worth optimizing. On the whole, the commercial performance of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same class.
