After two months of using Geometry A, the car owner’s real experience with the car

In the past two years, I was still very resistant to electric vehicles. After all, the electric vehicles two years ago had short range and high prices. In addition, there were very few charging piles and they were inconvenient to use. ?But I was in Beijing and only had a Tangshan license plate. When I learned that the number of times I could apply for a Beijing Entry Permit would be restricted on November 1, 2019, I knew it was time to switch to an electric car, so I bought the ordinary car I had been using that year. The indicator was changed to a new energy indicator. ?Fortunately, after several years of development, the biggest problem of electric vehicles is now basically non-issue: battery life, and the price is also more affordable. After learning that I will be ranked in the electric quota in February this year, I gradually began to pay attention to it. Electric car. ?After paying attention to it for several months, the budget has increased from the initial 60,000 to 70,000 to about 150,000. Because I have not paid attention to new forces, there are actually not many models to choose from. ?The epidemic situation has improved in April, so I started looking at cars with my wife. I mainly focused on several compact cars such as Qin pro, eu5, aion?s, Geometry A, etc. I test drove all of them except eu5. I like Qin pro very much but the price is high and the discount is good. Small, the eu5 is the most cost-effective. I was originally planning to buy it, but after seeing a lot of after-sales problems on the forum, I was a little worried. The aion?s has a battery life problem. The claims online were exaggerated, so I didn’t dare to buy it. In the end, I chose Geometry A mainly because of its high configuration, the quality of Geely cars was also very reliable (the last one I had was an Emgrand), and the discounts were relatively large, so I chose it. ?I won’t let go of the beautiful pictures, and neither will my wife, haha. ?Let’s talk about some useful information. I will add more pictures later to improve reading comfort.

OK, back to the topic, back to the Geometry A. Because of the loan, I waited for nearly a week. I picked up the car and drove it back to my wife’s house as soon as possible. What attracts me most about the Geometry A is Its interior, which is also the first feeling when sitting in a 4S store, is very technological. The more I look at the appearance, the more I like it. Although it is simple, it has a sense of design, although later I found out that it was indeed changed from the Emgrand GL. , but it’s harmless, appearance comes first.

This was taken before driving away from the 4S store. It is also the first photo of this car. The salesman helped charge the battery and washed the car. The total mileage is 10km. You should pay attention to this when choosing a car. of.

This interior is equipped with that canopy. Once you sit in it, you can’t get out. Although I didn’t buy the version with the canopy in the end? つ﹏?

I drove it to my wife’s house and the car The overall body is very slender, the headlights look sharp, and the front face is more controversial. This is a matter of opinion.

Driving back more than 20 kilometers, there were not many cars on the road, and with the kinetic energy recovery turned on, I rarely stepped on the brakes. My right heel hurt a little, and I needed to get used to it.

Although the tail shape does not have the most popular through-taillights at the moment, the shape is also very good. The large wheels are indeed good-looking, but they are a bit narrow.

There is no perfect thing, and there is no perfect car. If you like its advantages, you have to accept its shortcomings. Although some shortcomings may not be discovered until you buy it back, /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ . ?I am still dissatisfied with the experience of using the Geometry A for two months. The first is its charging location. Because there is a charging pile at home, I usually charge it slowly. Then the problem arises when reversing the car into the garage. The 5-meter charging cable is not long enough, so it can only be inserted through the front of the car. Because there are cars on both sides, the road in front of the parking space is not very wide. It takes three hands to get in, and it is inconvenient to get out. ?The second thing is the in-car system of this car. I initially thought it was quite convenient to listen to music online and navigate, but other than these two, there is nothing else. The interconnection with the mobile phone can be called rubbish, and there is nothing in the app store. None. The promised OTA upgrade seems to have never happened in more than a year now. ?The tire model of this car is also weird. The large 18-inch wheels are 195mm wide. But fortunately, I am not the type to drive aggressively. I just drive slower in rainy and snowy days. Moreover, I already knew about this shortcoming before buying it. I can accept. ?Another point is that the lifetime free maintenance advertised on both the official website and 4S stores is just a gimmick. I have also confirmed with Geely and 4S stores that it only covers basic free maintenance and does not include labor costs. However, it seems that tram maintenance does not include labor costs. There is nothing else. Geely’s statement is that the local dealer has the final right of interpretation, so just pretend that there is no such thing, (￣▽￣)” Haha.

The car is used for charging for the first time. Super slow charging, 3% charging capacity in one hour, is really only suitable for emergency use. .

Soon after Beijing started to use the license plate, there were many cars in Shunyi, and most of them were new energy vehicles. There are four or five cars with high configurations. It seems that the mid-range configuration I bought is very strange. At that time, the mid-range configuration was mainly inferior to 1W, which added 360-degree imaging, electric passenger seat, and panoramic canopy (it is said that the rear passenger feels better in summer). It felt so useless to me, so I saved it.

It was windy that day and I was freezing. I had to wait for more than three hours to finish charging.

The installation of the pile went very smoothly. Although it is an old community, I am really thankful that the pile can be installed. Speaking of which, Geely's charging pile is really huge. It can hold up two ordinary charging piles, so that the box outside is also huge. There are many children in the community, so it is necessary to install one. The box is more reassuring.

Every time you charge, you can only put the front of the car in. The above-ground parking lot is relatively large, and it will be more difficult in the underground garage, which is very inhumane.

Let’s talk about the space of this car. The wheelbase of 2700 is not reflected. It may be due to the styling problem of the fastback. The rear space performance is not very good, especially the mid-range version I bought. The internal space is worse than that of high-end configurations, but it is not as high as the top. ?Needless to say about the acceleration of the tram, the eco mode is enough for me, and the acceleration below 80 is still very powerful. I think the shock absorption of this car is a plus point. The chassis is very neat and the filtering is very good. However, only in the speed range of 40-50 mph, no matter what the road is, it is bumpy and bumpy, like sitting in a car. It's the same on the spring. I wonder if the 2.6 tire pressure is too high? But the recommended tire pressure for this car is 2.6! ?As for the problem of tire noise, it seems to be common in cars ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands. Especially electric cars, which are quieter, may be more obvious. It is indeed more obvious at low speeds, but not so obvious at high speeds, and wind noise is not too loud. Everyone can feel these aspects through a test drive.

During the mud rain in Beijing, it was difficult to capture the shocking effect of a truck full of mud. It was a unique sight to see the rows of mud trucks in the community in the morning.

I went to have my car washed and waited in line for two hours. I was really drunk. Beijing really saves money on car washing, because it only takes a day to basically clean the car after washing, and in various dusty weather, it is simply not necessary to wash the car.

The words on the butt of this car don’t seem to match the overall simple design of the car. They were cut out and it looks much better.

Let’s talk about the power consumption of this car. This may be the thing that people who buy electric cars are most concerned about. After all, no one wants to buy a car with a price tag of 500, only to end up with a car that can only run 400. I can responsibly say that the power consumption of this car is what I am most satisfied with. It has a capacity of 51.9 kilowatt-hours, and based on a 410km range, it consumes 12.6 kilowatt-hours of electricity per 100 kilometers. I am currently driving it in Beijing in the summer, and the air conditioning is normal. When turned on, the power consumption is around 11, and it does not consume much power on the highway. Although it is not as much as the theoretical calculation of 478, there is still 400. I recorded a trip to the Beijing Wildlife Park. The whole journey was basically on high speed, the speed limit was 100. There were 4 adults and 2 children in the car. The air conditioner was 23 degrees and 3 winds. I actually ran 174 kilometers and the battery life was reduced by 180 kilometers. It was very solid. ?I hope you can give me some surprises in the winter.

I recommend Daxing Wildlife Park. It is very good. I am exhausted after a day of playing, but it is definitely worth the trip. I will come again!

Finally, buying this car basically means choosing a niche. There are not many things online that want to buy a special car, and some may not. After all, the audience is too small, with hundreds of cars a month. ?Also, I hope Geely can continue to work hard. Once the car is built, the passenger experience must also be paid attention to, such as the legendary OTA upgrade, the width of the wheel hub, and the virtual buttons that everyone has been complaining about are unclear and have no feedback. ?Finally, I would like to present the car parked by my 2-year-old daughter. Hmm... it has great potential.

Park the car and get off the car to chase the dog in one go, steadily and ruthlessly!
