Bitche Original 2021 is really impressive for the Chinese automobile market. In addition to the vigorous development of the new energy market, traditional fuel manufacturers have not been idle. From the beginning of 21 to the end of the year, many manufacturers have launched products specially designed for " Sports models created by Generation Z, such as the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, which will be launched in the second half of 2021, have radical styling and eye-catching parameters. We will not talk about the specific performance of the Shadow Leopard, but at least it looks "sexy".
However, behind the flashy phenomenon of "sports sedans", we should think about what kind of cars young people really need? The model interpretation we brought today is quite interesting: compared with the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, it is less extreme, it is the Geely Binrui. Although the Shadow Leopard is higher overall in terms of price, consumers will indeed be confused when choosing a model of this level. So what is Binrui's strength? Let's see how we explain it slowly.
Part 1 Appearance Interpretation: Exquisite and Sporty
The design of most Geely models rarely takes the extreme route, no matter how stunning it was at first Borui is still the follow-up Xingyue with obvious sporty style, and the overall design does not have too sharp lines. The same goes for the Binrui we interpreted this time. When this car was first launched three years ago, it was positioned to be youthful and sporty, so the design of this car is more in line with the aesthetic style of the current young group: black and flat. , low lying feeling.
The front face of Binrui adopts an obvious Geely family-style design language. The front grille with a flat hexagonal air hole structure is blackened and matched with the silver-black Geely LOGO. Very simple. The front apron is outlined in a boomerang-like shape with black trim strips. Together with the blackened grille on the front face and the LED headlights with integrated high and low beams, the sporty feel of the entire front face is very obvious. And the red F logo is placed on the right side of the grille, which also means that the appearance of this car adopts the F-sports package.
Coming to the side, Binrui does not use the traditional It has a sedan shape and the lines on the roof have a bit of a fastback feel. At the same time, Binrui's B-pillars and C-pillars do not use conventional chrome trim strips, but are also painted in black, giving a stronger overall feel. The Binrui CVT F-Flagship version we shot this time uses 17-inch five-spoke wheels, which are also blackened. The shape of the wheels is still very bold, and the red brake calipers behind the wheels are also exposed. .
Binrui Tail The design is relatively streamlined, and the through-type black decorative strip is the more conspicuous element at the rear. If it is the regular version, this decorative strip will be silver. Geely's English logo is located in it, and what's interesting is that there are separate reversing lights on both sides of the chrome trim, which you can't tell without looking carefully.
Part 2 Interior interpretation: dynamic and attractive
Part 3 Dynamic performance: adequate and smooth
The 2021 Geely Binrui currently has only one 1.4T engine on sale. Except for the lowest model, which is manual, the other models are equipped with A CVT gearbox. The maximum power of the engine is 141 horsepower/104kW and the peak torque is 235N·m. This 1.4T+8CVT is Geely's relatively mature power combination and is installed on many Geely models.
The power part has always been an area that many young people tend to struggle with. Although the sports family sedan market has existed for a long time, it has actually only been launched in the past few years. It started to explode, and at the price of 100,000, there are actually not many relatively powerful models that young people can buy. Some people may say that a CVT gearbox for a sports car does not sound enough? Civic disagrees with this. Yes, the shifting impact brought by DCT is liked by many young people, but for more consumers, perhaps Binrui's smooth powertrain will be more suitable.
When you really need power, you still need to step on the accelerator deeply and let the speed climb to above 1,600 rpm to achieve smoother power output. Coupled with Bosch's steering system and good sporty adjustments, the vehicle strikes a balance between comfort and handling. It's not amazing when you first drive it, but after a long time with it, you may prefer Binrui's balanced driving style. style.
Part 4 Configuration Analysis: The top configuration is the most cost-effective
Next, let’s talk about the configuration level of the Geely Binrui. The 2021 Geely Binrui has 4 configuration models, with prices ranging from 79,800 yuan to 109,800 yuan, including the 1.4T manual luxury version (79,800 yuan), 1.4T CVT F-sports version (91,800 yuan), and 1.4T CVT Asian Games version (97,800 yuan) and 1.4T CVT F-Flagship version (109,800 yuan).
From the name, we can probably tell the appearance style and transmission form of each version, and what we introduce this time is the 1.4T priced at 109,800 yuan. CVT F-Flagship Edition, as the top model of the Binrui series, what is the configuration level of the 1.4T CVT F-Flagship Edition?
First of all, in terms of external configuration, the full LED light set, automatic headlights, keyless entry and start functions are mentioned above, which are considered to be in line with the standards of models in this price range. The internal technology configuration will be more abundant, with full LCD instrument + 10.25-inch centerThe control screen gives a good review. The wireless charging function for mobile phones keeps up with the trend of the times. The built-in driving recorder is a good tradition of Geely, which is more convenient. At the same time, the front seat heating function is also a very practical configuration.
In terms of safety configuration, the Geely Binrui 1.4T CVT F-Flagship Edition can reach a leapfrog level. 6 airbags + active safety systems are rare at this price, especially Compared with joint venture cars, the safety configuration is very generous. However, it is a pity that Geely Binrui's mid-to-low-end models are not equipped with active safety systems, and the number of airbags is less than that of top-end models.
In terms of practical configuration, 360-degree panoramic images and full-speed adaptive cruise are commonly used functions, and they have a huge impact on the car experience. These two configurations of Geely Binrui 1.4T CVT F- The flagship version is equipped with both. Automatic air conditioning + car air purifier is also a good configuration.
From the perspective of safety configuration and practical configuration, in fact, the most cost-effective Geely Binrui is the 1.4T CVT F-flagship model. We also compared the configuration richness of this configuration version with the Shadow Leopard J11 priced at 108,000 yuan. It can be seen that the Binrui top model has certain advantages in terms of configuration, such as Panoramic images, full-speed adaptive cruise, wireless mobile phone charging, front seat heating, etc.
Summary of the full text: For Binrui, Geely clearly understands what the target consumer group of this car wants. We used the Shadow Leopard as a reference in many aspects when interpreting this car. This is not to explain which one is stronger or weaker, but to illustrate the real consumer needs of young people from different manufacturers through the comparison of this sports sedan, which is currently attracting a lot of attention. Thinking about it, the core of the question is just what do you want this car to really bring you. The answer given by Binrui is: give you a passionate feeling and also take care of your wallet.
