CMA high-end series test Geely Xingyue L four-wheel drive flagship

　　[car home]　Professional evaluation] FollowingAfter the last test of Xingyue S, after a lapse of one month, the test task of this (|) fell on my shoulder again. The difference in personality between the two players is obvious enough. Under different market positioning, the driving experience and experience emphasized are also obviously different. As the flagship SUV model under the CMA framework, Xingyue L has more unique insights in luxury experience. Previously, we have reported in detail on several dimensions, such as preliminary testing and static experience, and today’s AH-100 testing link, let’s take a look at its more detailed test report to see if it can meet your expectations.

　　In fact, the slogan of positioning CMA high-end series has clearly confessed the basic situation of Xingyue L. In addition to continuing the highly acclaimed powertrain, the new car has upgraded the configuration, materials and other places that enhance the sense of luxury. The change in design is as calm as possible, so it also has a unique experience in terms of face value. Let’s start with dynamic driving.

Power system

　　　In terms of power, Xingyue L is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 238 HP (175 kW /5500rpm) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm /1800-4500rpm.The transmission part is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, equipped with Borgwarner timely four-wheel drive system.

Driving experience

　　　In fact, we are already very familiar with this powertrain, which is consistent with the version of Xingyue S AWD. However, these two players have different experiences, and then I will talk to you.Have a chat carefully.

　　For daily driving, the low-twist performance of Xingyue L is obviously better, which is the first impression when I just got the test drive. It can be said that it has accelerated from the initial stage to the middle and early stage.Ability, all have a very abundant side. Compared with Xingyue S, it is obviously much better. It is also a guess whether it will be related to the sports exhaust of Xingyue S. The lower exhaust back pressure leads to the reduction of initial torque.

　　　Driving on urban roads, the engine’s excellent torque output platform makes the vehicle lighter in the initial stage, and the power connection ability is excellent. And the explosive ability of the middle and rear segments is the same.In line with expectations, the broad power output range mentioned above makes it not feel weak in the latter part of the power explosion.

　　The 8-speed automatic manual transmission also has very positive logic in normal mode. Basically, when the driver slightly increases the throttle, the transmission will trigger downshift feedback, which provides more direct feedback.Accelerate the experience. If you step on the accelerator deeply, the gearbox will continue to downshift very quickly, so the performance in sports feeling is still excellent.

　　In sports mode, the engine speed will increase obviously, and it will basically stabilize at around 3000rpm, which is also the best platform for torque explosion, so the overall driving feeling will be more.Radical. But as mentioned earlier, the performance in normal mode is already excellent, so switching to sports mode will not improve the sense of sports in essence, justI feel that the throttle reacts faster.

　　Suspension settings, the overall driving experience is still biased towards comfort, but the overall driving texture of the suspension is thicker, with a good touch on the ground and advanced texture. For road bumps andThe handling of big ups and downs is relatively simple, and the performance of road sense feedback has not been excessively lost.

　　In the face of the support performance in the limit state, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The lateral support performance of one suspension in the face of extreme compression is slightly insufficient as a whole, and the roll feeling in the car is obvious.Of course, after all, it is not a sports model, and it has done well enough to meet daily use and multiple adaptability.

　　Steering feel, the overall damping feel is relatively light, but the existence of the central virtual position can still be clearly felt, and the steering action of the front of the car is not positive enough, and the overall steering ratio is a little higher.In the testing process, we can clearly feel the righting force of steering, but it is still obviously too small, which leads to the dynamic feedback of the front of the car and the overall communication feeling is not positive enough.
