Geely Star wishes to expose the real car picture, round shape, semi-hidden door handle
Recently, many car friends have asked Nianhan about Geely, because this new car has appeared in the new product announcement list of MIIT’s 385th batch of "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Product Announcements". Relevant pictures and information have been exposed, and the response has been quite large.
It is reported that Geely Star Wish is a brand-new pure electric small car that will be launched in two different power versions. Its sleek and cute shape is quite eye-catching.
From the exposure of the real car map, Geely Xingyuan’s rounded body lines, hidden door handles, and a variety of wheel hub shapes are available, which is obviously aimed at BYD.
So what are the highlights of Geely Star Wish? Nianhan will have a good chat with the car friends to see why it competes with BYD Dolphin.
Old rules, let’s start with the appearance design. The first impression that Geely Star Wish gives people is round and cute, the overall design language is relatively simple, and no overly complex design elements are used.
For example, the front face is designed with a closed grille, which, needless to say, directly and clearly demonstrates its pure electric identity. The headlights on both sides are sleek in shape, and the internal light group structure is more complex, which is expected to have a good lighting effect.
The side lines of the body are smooth and natural, and the design of hidden door handles and low-drag wheels is to reduce the drag coefficient and improve the cruising range. At the rear of the car, the design of through taillights stretches the visual width and improves the recognition of the whole vehicle.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Geely Star Wish are 4085/1800/1575mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. Compared with the previously exposed information, the length of the car is shortened by 50mm, the width is reduced by 5mm, the body height is increased by 5mm, and the wheelbase is increased by 50mm.
As for why there is such an adjustment, Nianhan’s analysis speculates that it is to further optimize the interior space. After all, for this level of model, space is very important.
Although the official has not yet released the interior pictures of Geely Star Wish, Nianhan roughly speculates that it will use Geely’s latest family-style design language, focusing on simple technology.
We might as well refer to other models under Geely. It is expected that the interior of Geely Star Wish will be wrapped in a large area of soft materials and embellished with some bright decorative strips to create a certain sense of fashion and technology. In addition, configurations such as floating central control screens, LCD dashboards, and so on should not be absent.
As for the power configuration, Nianhan has already said that Geely Star Wish will launch two different power versions, so there are naturally two power options. The maximum power of the motor is 58kW and 85kW, respectively, corresponding to different battery life versions to meet the needs of different consumers.
The battery is equipped with a battery, the battery cell manufacturer is Jiangsu Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and the battery assembly manufacturer is Xiangtan Flash Battery Co., Ltd.
Regarding the cruising range, the official has not released specific information yet, but based on its possible market positioning and competitors, it is estimated to be around 300-400km.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many car friends will be curious, who is the audience of Geely Star Wish? In fact, this answer is easy to answer, that is, targeting young consumers and home users, and it is very accurate.
However, the market segment where Geely Star Wish was located, that is, the field of small pure electric cars, was also very competitive. Needless to say, BYD Dolphin and other models had actually achieved good market performance. However, Nianhan believed that Geely Star Wish still had a chance to break through.
There are three reasons: first, Geely Star Wish has a fashionable design and rich configuration, which is very attractive to young consumers; second, Geely has rich experience and technical accumulation in the field of new energy, which provides a guarantee for the quality and performance of Star Wish; third, Geely has a complete sales and after-sales services system, which can also provide consumers with a more convenient and assured car experience.
As for whether Geely Star Wish will ultimately succeed in the market, Nianhan cannot guarantee it, but I think the probability of success is at least 60%.
