Model: Tank 300 City Edition
Price range: 20.00-23 0 yuan
Review:In today’s society, Internet celebrities not only appear in the entertainment industry, but also in the automotive industry. The Tank 300, which went on sale in December last year, is one of them. From the sales data, the Tank 300 has achieved very good sales in half a year, with a cumulative sales volume of 33,073 units. The strong popularity has led to a long wait for delivery due to production capacity problems after being listed for half a year. As a new model, the Tank 300 City Edition naturally attracted countless attention at the beginning of its birth, and unlike the current model, the overall design of the Tank 300 City Edition is more youthful and fashionable. Through changes in appearance details and color schemes, the Tank 300 City Edition retains its tough nature while bringing consumers more youthful and fashionable elements to meet the needs of young off-road consumer groups.
On July 23rd, the Tank 300 City Edition was officially launched. Although it was a new special edition, the official launch of the Tank 300 City Edition was a relatively rich three models. The names of the models are also very interesting, called "very stylish", "I see the type", "must type", and the price range is 20.00-23 0 yuan. However, it should be noted that the "must type" of the three vehicles is sold in a limited form every month. On July 24th, the first limited edition of 300 units will be launched at 0 o’clock. After that, the monthly limited number will be announced on the Tank TANK APP in advance, and it will be sold on time at 10 am on the 19th of each month until the order is completed.
In terms of overall design, the shape of the Tank 300 City Edition is the same as that of the ordinary version, but it is different in some details. First of all, the Tank 300 City Edition has added two body colors, which are officially called face powder and grass green. Obviously, these two color schemes are more likely to attract the attention of young consumer groups. In addition, the front grille of the Tank 300 City Edition has changed from the black of the ordinary version to silver, as well as the wheel eyebrows. These changes make the Tank 300 City Edition more fashionable in the nature of the tough guy. The body size has not changed, and the length, width and height are still 4760 × 1930 × 1927mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm.
In terms of interior, the Tank 300 City Edition is basically the same as the ordinary version. The changes are the same as the appearance, and it also appears in the color scheme. The Tank 300 City Edition also adds two exclusive color schemes: "face powder" and "grass green". In terms of power, the Tank 300 City Edition is still the familiar 2.0T engine, and the transmission is still 8AT. However, it should be noted that the Tank 300 City Edition is equipped with intelligent four-wheel drive TOD (two-speed), and the front and rear axle electronically controlled differential locks are cancelled.
Model: Geely Xingyue L
Price: 13.72-18 5,200 yuan
Review:Geely? Geely Xingyue L? According to common sense, Xingyue L seems to be an extended version of Xingyue, but is it really the case? In fact, the addition of L to the back of most models does symbolize lengthening, but its changes are limited to lengthening. In addition to the overall size of the Xingyue L, there are many differences. First of all, Xingyue is a coupe SUV, but Xingyue L is a traditional SUV shape. Secondly, the size of Xingyue L has surpassed Xingyue in an all-round way. Although the positioning is compact SUV, the 2845mm wheelbase makes it larger than many medium-sized SUVs. In terms of interior, Xingyue L has also overturned Geely’s previous models, and the three 12.3-inch large screens are the finishing touch. And high-end configurations such as G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology and global FOTA online upgrade technology also prove that this car is not just an extended version of Xingyue.
Let’s review the Geely Xingyue L model. On July 20, 2021, Geely Xingyue L was listed in Hangzhou, and the price range of 6 cars was 13.72-18 5,200 yuan. At the listing press conference, Li Shufu, chairperson of Geely Holding Group, who rarely appeared at the new car launch of various brands, was a rare platform, which proved the importance of Geely officials to Xingyue L. It is definitely a subversive model for Geely. Just like a few years ago, Xingyue L is a milestone model representing Geely’s brand entering the "Geely 4.0 era of technology".
The design of the Geely Xingyue L continues the design language of the Geely 4.0 era. Unlike the coupe SUV Xingyue, the Xingyue L shows us the aura of a traditional high-end luxury SUV. Unlike the front face of Xingyue, the Xingyue L adopts a more atmospheric straight waterfall grille. The energy matrix headlights of the double-stage design use a full LED light source, which is combined with the through-chrome trim on the lower part of the front face to stretch the visual width of the front face.
From the side, the Xingyue L adopts a traditional SUV shape that is different from Xingyue, and the muscular body lines tell you that it is not a restrained "boy" that is easy to bully. At the same time, we must focus on the body size of Xingyue L, length/width/height 4770 * 1895 * 1689mm, wheelbase 2845mm, remember, the official positioning of Xingyue L as a compact SUV, but this body is obviously beyond many medium-sized SUVs, this is a proper leapfrog suppression method! As for the tail, Xingyue L wears the current popular through taillights on the body, and there are no less trendy elements.
The interior of Xingyue L is also one of its subversive designs. Although everyone doesn’t feel much when looking at the pictures, its interior panels do use a lot of suede fabrics, and with exquisite stitches, the high-end feeling suddenly bursts out. However, what attracts me the most is the three 12.3-inch large screens that cannot be ignored. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip escorts its operation, and there are many functions such as Douyin, Karaoke, games, and watching videos. There is also a high-tech that has to be said, that is 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology. Xingyue L is the first model equipped with this technology, which can achieve unmanned parking within 1 kilometer. Novices don’t have to worry about parking difficulties anymore, just use their mobile phones.
In terms of power, Xingyue L brought over the Drive-E series 2.0TD engine, and also provided two versions of medium and high power, with a maximum power of 160kW (218 horsepower) and 175kW (238 horsepower) respectively. Reflected in terms of performance, the 2.0TD engine gives Xingyue L the strength to break 100 in 7.7 seconds.
