Fashionable and sporty, three-cylinder holds back: real shot of Geely icon

At the 2018 Beijing Auto Show, Geely released the CONCEPT?ICON? concept car. Not long after, at the end of 2019, Geely grabbed the attention of consumers and media people with an icon that was highly similar to the concept car. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, the launch conference originally scheduled for the 14th was postponed and changed to an online format.

The Geely icon is a small SUV based on the BMA architecture, on the same platform as Geely's Binyue. The body size is 4350/1810/1615mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. The length of the car is basically the same as the Binyue, only 20mm longer, but the wheelbase is 40mm longer than the Binyue. In terms of power, icon?, like recent Geely new cars, is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged engine, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with an output power of 177ps. With the 48V mild hybrid system, the comprehensive power output reaches 190ps. The acceleration from 0-100km is only 7.9 seconds. If there is any shortcoming of this power combination, it is the three-cylinder engine. The data is good, the power is good, and in terms of quality, this 1.5T engine seems to have never had any problems... If the three-cylinder is the original sin, then he is guilty of the heinous crime...

The first time I saw the icon , you will find that it has a slightly familiar flavor. It adopts many similar design languages ????to the previous Land Rover Evoque, and the entire shape is slightly similar. However, unlike the previous Landwind, Geely Icon also adopts a lot of independent design language. In the front part of the car, the rounded front and squinting split headlights are full of cuteness. At the C and D pillars, like many young sports cars, the icon also adopts a suspended roof design, but the rear small window line is designed so "hard" that it seems to be an icon. Full of model recognition. The position of the car's taillights echoes the design lines that can be seen everywhere in the car, and the "hui"-shaped pattern fills the entire body.

Entering the interior, you will find that the interior of the Geely icon harmoniously integrates technology, high-end and youthful elements. It does not rely on various large touch screens to create interiors like some models. decoration. The interior of icon allows people to feel the warmth and warmth in addition to fashion and technology. The two 10.25-inch screens equipped with the GKUI car system have good touch and display effects.

In terms of space, although the body size is only 4350mm, thanks to the 2640mm wheelbase, the icon's space performance is still good. At least my 200-pound fat man does not feel depressed when sitting in it. This is quite common in a car of this size.

icon provides a 1.5T light-hybrid power combination. This 48V light-hybrid motor can give the engine a great boost at the starting and low-speed stages, and can well solve the turbo lag of small-displacement supercharging. and the problem of dynamic nonlinearity. Especially when the 1.5T is still a three-cylinder engine, the 48V mild hybrid motor can reduce a lot of the engine's working pressure and reduce a lot of jitter from the three-cylinder engine, and the performance is still good. However, since it is a sporty car, the entire chassis of the icon has a bit of hard vibration filtering and poor comfort.
