A few years ago, when it comes to medium-sized SUVs, all you can think of is Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Tiguan L, Honda Crown Road and other joint venture brand models.

In recent years, various independent brands have also made efforts in this market segment, including Chuanqi GS8, Chery Tiggo 8PLUS, BYD Tang and other well-known models. In June this year, Geely finally made a big move and launched a brand-new medium-sized SUV-Hao Yue.

To say that this car is the most attractive, besides the relatively spacious space brought by the positioning of its medium-sized SUV, the second price is absolutely attractive, and the price range is 10.36- 139600 yuan.

There is no doubt that it is very attractive to buy a medium-sized SUV at such a price.

Although? Hao Yue is the only medium-sized SUV in Geely's current product line, but it is not Geely's first medium-sized SUV. As early as 20 14, Geely introduced a medium-sized SUV named Hao Qing SUV, but due to poor sales, it stopped production in a hurry after two years on the market.

However, today's market demand is completely different from that at that time. The second child policy makes more families need a medium-sized SUV with more spacious space, and Chinese people's love for their own brands is also increasing. It seems that the emergence of Hao Yue seems to be just the right time.

In fact, Geely Hao Yue is no stranger to us except for its appearance. It is based on Geely's 7-seat car platform, which is Cargill's CV platform. It is also more appropriate to understand it as "SUV version of Jiaji".

What advantages does CV platform bring to Hao Yue?

First of all, the most obvious advantage lies in cost performance. In the low price of10.36-139,600 yuan, the configuration brought by Geely Hao Yue is not shabby at all.

The flagship model we got this time is equipped with many active safety systems, such as parallel line assistance, lane keeping assistance system, lane departure warning system, active braking, road traffic sign recognition and so on.

At the same time, there are many functions such as 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning, full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic parking, electric trunk, HUD head-up display, car air purifier and so on.

To be honest, this configuration performance combined with the positioning of the medium-sized SUV makes it hard to believe that its price is only 654.38+039.6 million yuan, which is naturally inseparable from Geely's stable upstream and downstream suppliers and the excellent cost control of the mature CV platform.

Secondly, the most obvious advantage lies in space. Thanks to the CV platform, Hao Yue has a lower platform than the SUV of the same class, which improves the convenience of getting on and off. Secondly, it brings greater carriage height. Even if passengers around 1.8m sit in the back row, there is plenty of room in the head.

Three separate seats,

Ensure that the middle passengers get the same ride experience.

When you open the tailgate of the trunk, you will find that Hao Yue's low platform advantage is more obvious.

Not only the location of the site is low, it is more convenient to carry heavy objects, but also a deep storage area is hidden under the partition, which can store items that are not commonly used or relatively private.

At the same time, the rear seats of Geely Hao Yue can be laid down independently, which greatly enhances the flexibility of space. When all the seats are laid down, a flat space will be formed. With the air mattress, who cooperates with Geely and Netease YEATION, being a 2-meter-long big bed is not a problem at all. Friends who like driving and camping should like the space show in Hao Yue very much.

Of course, Hao Yue, which comes from CV platform, naturally has seven-seat models like Cargill. So, how to choose five seats and seven seats?

First of all, Hao Yue wants to choose the 7-seat version with the price of 3000? Yuan, before the test drive of Geely's 7-seat model, although its third row space performance was not as spacious as the mainstream MPV, it was completely sufficient for emergency use and had certain practical value.

If there is no need to use the third row at ordinary times, directly putting the third row of seats down will form a flat space, which can be directly used as a five-seat car, but it will lose some storage space under the partition.

Most importantly, with the liberalization of the policy, seven-seat models are also exempt from inspection for six years. In short, seven seats can be five seats, and five seats cannot be seven seats. Although the price may be several thousand yuan and there is little storage space, it is still very cost-effective.

A relaxed driving atmosphere

Driving sense is not the focus of Hao Yue's pursuit. The power system consists of a set of 1.8TD+7-speed DCT gearbox, with the maximum power of 135kW and the peak torque of 300Nm.

Although the book parameters are average and his personality is always calm, due to the tacit cooperation between the engine and the gearbox, with the comprehensive assistance of smooth shift connection and short-term turbine lag, Hao Yue's power performance is very smooth, which brings very smooth and comfortable driving enjoyment to the drivers and passengers of the whole car.

It is worth mentioning that, as a medium-sized SUV, in the congested urban area of Beijing, Hao Yue's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is stable at around 10L, and the fuel economy is acceptable.

As for Hao Yue's sense of control, nature is consistent with dynamic tonality. As for the chassis, it comes from CV platform, so like Cargill, Hao Yue also adopts front McPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Although domestic consumers really don't like the configuration of "torsion beam dependent suspension", the chassis performance of Hao Yue is definitely not the low point of this Hao Yue, and its vibration filtering performance is worthy of recognition. Whether it is a small bump or a big pothole, Hao Yue's filtration is full and elastic.

The disadvantage is naturally that the suspension is soft and the lateral support is slightly poor, and the vehicle will appear obvious roll when cornering or merging at high speed.

The performance of steering and pedals is relatively light and easy to use, but it will not establish too much communication between the car and the driver.

Generally speaking, a relaxed driving atmosphere is the biggest feature of Hao Yue's driving experience, which is similar to Cargill's. Comfortable driving style is the right choice for driving Hao Yue.

Of course, we hope that Geely can make the styles of various models more distinctive and have certain differences, which will naturally be more attractive to the target consumer groups.

abstract

According to the sales data released by the Purchase and Ride Association, in June 2020, the sales volume of self-owned medium-sized SUVs reached 87,500, up 13.2% year-on-year and 15. 1% quarter-on-quarter. The growth rate of sales volume is slightly higher than the overall growth rate of SUV market, and the demand of the market and consumers for medium-sized SUVs is actually increasing.

After the listing, Hao Yue has formed a relatively stable product matrix with Job, Yue Bin and Xingyue, which fully meets the car purchase needs of users.

The appearance of Geely Hao Yue allows consumers to enjoy the space and configuration performance of medium-sized SUVs at the price of compact SUVs.

For Geely, this is a blow to dimensionality reduction, but for users, it is a "consumption upgrade", that is, spending the same money to buy a higher-level model.

Compared with cars and compact SUVs, potential consumers of medium-sized SUVs are more concerned about the comfort, space and practicality of cars than the driving control, which is exactly Hao Yue's strength.

Geely's positioning and adjustment of Hao Yue can be described as extremely accurate. Coupled with the background of increasing demand for medium-sized SUVs, Hao Yue is well prepared and just in time. Writing, photography? |? Xie Tianshuang
