Joint venture challenger, Geely Xingyue L listed for sale at 137,200 yuan.

During this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Geely Automobile built a new SUV model named Xingyue L based on CMA architecture, and released "SUV Disruptive Action", which opened the curtain to challenge the mainstream joint venture SUV. After waiting for three months, Xingyue L was officially listed in Hangzhou on July 20th.

This time, Xingyue L launched two power combinations, 2.0TD-7DCT EVO and 2.0TD High-Tech -8AT, with a market guidance price of 137,200 yuan to 185,200 yuan. Among them, Xingyue L’s exclusive Cuiyu magic color suit costs 5,000 yuan, including Cuiyu magic color special car paint+Cuiyu double suede interior, double five-spoke pulse exclusive wheels+magic color exclusive car keys.

Challenge the three flagship standards

As the main model of Geely in SUV products in the future, Xingyue L is also challenging the mainstream joint venture SUV models. And it has been comprehensively advanced from three levels: intelligence, security and luxury.

First of all, on the intelligent level, Xingyue L is equipped with the strongest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which supports 5G high-speed network and drives multiple screens with one core. At the same time, the new car is first equipped with Geely Galaxy OS system, which can realize the three-screen linkage of IMAX and the four-screen linkage of 25.6-inch AR-HUD–creating a smart cockpit with the largest "screen ratio".

In addition, under the blessing of CMA’s new intelligent and evolvable electronic and electrical architecture, Xingyue L has the intelligent expansion potential in the next 5 to 10 years. In addition, Xingyue L also has the global FOTA capability, which is the first engine power OTA, so that fuel vehicles can achieve multi-dimensional upgrades like pure trams.

Thanks to the 24 sensing elements with the largest number of mass-produced fuel vehicles, Xingyue L has nine large-area security. Among them, the EMA emergency steering assistance system carried by the new car can help the driver to make emergency avoidance when danger comes and minimize the possibility of injury; Elk passed the test with a score of 79km/h, giving users the strongest protection with the ultimate safety experience.

Finally, at the luxury level, Xingyue L is fully aligned with the products of 300,000 yuan. The straight waterfall air intake grille, with the appearance of matrix headlights on both sides, gives people a tall and tough visual experience. With a length, width and height of 4770mm×1895mm×1689mm and a wheelbase of 2845mm, Xingyue L has surpassed the level of joint venture competitors at the same level.

The luxury of Xingyue L is also reflected in the power. The new car is equipped with 2.0T high and low power engines of Volvo Drive-E series, which are matched with 7-speed wet DCT gearbox and 8AT gearbox respectively. The addition of the sixth generation electro-hydraulic four-wheel drive system of Borgwarner, the first in China, further highlights the comprehensive mechanical quality of Xingyue L.

Popularize high-end products

At the listing conference of Xingyue L, Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, who has not participated in such activities for a long time, also came to the scene to cheer for Xingyue L platform. In Li Shufu’s view, Xingyue L is of epoch-making significance. It is neither a traditional car nor a new energy car, but it inherits the advantages of traditional cars, absorbs the highlights of new energy cars and creates its own characteristics.

Two years ago, Xingyue, the first model of Geely Automobile CMA architecture, went on the market, which broke the inherent cognition of users’ distrust of the three major parts of China. Last year, the launch of Xingrui, the first car product under CMA framework, broke through the "family car standard" previously formulated by joint venture brands.

With the listing of Xingyue L, Geely Automobile officially released the "High-end Series of Geely Brand CMA"-named "China Star" at the event site. Geely Automobile believes that China Star represents the highest level of automobile brands in China at present, and will challenge the high-end market in the future to provide users with high-value products and realize the popularization of high-end products. And in the global automobile industry, we will fight for "China automobile value" and set a new benchmark of "China automobile value" with three high values.

In Geely Automobile’s view, the first high value of China Star is to lead the era of global architecture. The release of China Star can also be regarded as a brand-new advance of Geely’s architecture. At present, Volvo, Link and Geely CMA architecture products have been recognized by more than 1 million users around the world. By 2024, all products of Geely brand will fully realize the construction of cars!

The second high value is to lead the global hybrid new energy era. In the future, Geely will continue to promote the "Blue Geely Action Plan". In September this year, Geely Automobile will launch a global power brand and build a Geely GHS2.0 intelligent hybrid system, achieving 43.32% of the world’s highest thermal efficiency and more than 40% fuel saving rate. In the future, GHS2.0 dual-engine intelligent hybrid system will be first installed on China Star.

The third high value is to lead the global era of 5G smart travel. Geely has made diversified layouts in the fields of LEO synchronous satellite, V2X vehicle-road coordination and high-level autonomous driving, and has the ability to link smart city traffic. By 2022, we will see Geely automobile with L4 unmanned driving and intelligent digital cockpit in Hangzhou Asian Games.

Gan Jiayue, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, said: "The high value of China Star Three leading the world is one of the’ China Geely’ schemes for China Automobile to go global, become bigger and stronger. As the global leader of China Automobile, Geely will fight for the’ China Automobile Value’, look for the direction, strengthen its belief, and work hard to make China Automobile travel all over the world. "

Write at the end:

First of all, from the product point of view, Xingyue L should have the strength to compete with or even surpass the joint venture products in terms of intelligence, safety and luxury, and the price of 137,200 yuan to 185,200 yuan, while fully surpassing the product strength value of the strong joint venture brand, it can be said that it is full of sincerity without requiring users to spend a penny more.

The release of China Star highlights Geely’s brand dream of "being great because of happiness" forged in 35 years. As Li Shufu said: "For more than a decade, Geely has cooperated with global partners to overcome one difficulty after another and solve one problem after another to achieve today’s product achievements of Xingyue L. What users buy is not an isolated automobile product, but the result of Geely’s systematic service and high-tech ability. I firmly believe that Xingyue L will lead the intelligent transformation of traditional automobiles and make positive contributions to the intelligent development of China automobile industry. "

The vegetable delivery man in Wuhan stayed at home by car for 14 days and slept for four or five hours every day.

  Ma Zengchen has lived in his van delivering vegetables for 14 days.

  After the city was closed, the delivery man took Dai Yue as the star to deliver food to the residents. He only slept for four or five hours every day and often ate only one meal a day.

  He obviously lost weight. On March 2, he weighed himself, 18 Jin less than a month ago.

  Ma Zengchen, 38, is a vegetable delivery man at Wuhan Station, an online fresh-keeping platform. Under the COVID-19 epidemic, the city of Wuhan was closed on January 23rd, and closed management of all residential quarters began on February 11th. The enterprise he serves is one of the online shopping platforms recommended by the Municipal Bureau of Commerce to residents. He suddenly became one of the "people’s livelihood security workers" in this city.

  On average, Ma Zengchen sends fresh vegetables and meat to 60-80 families every day. The service scope of the vegetable delivery staff is wide, and the working radius can reach twenty or thirty kilometers. Today, the number of orders sent is about three times that of usual, and it is normal to be busy until 10 pm.

  Ma Zengchen is a foreigner and rented in Miaoshan Community, Jiangxia District, Wuhan. There is an iron gate to the north of the main entrance of the community, which was closed during the epidemic. When he comes back at night, he usually stops here, and the object Wang Jiangyan will wait for the "joint" on the other side of the fence.

  Through the fence, she handed him hot rice and talked for a while. In order to save the car battery, Wang Jiangyan has to take his mobile phone home to charge it. Sometimes, Ma Zengchen doesn’t even want to eat, but just wants to sleep.

  They originally planned to go back to their hometown to register for marriage in the Spring Festival of 2020. The tickets were all bought and Wuhan was closed.

  The hospital is overcrowded and there are few people in the street. They are a little scared, too. Wang Jiangyan remembers that she once advised Ma Zengchen: "Why don’t we quit? Who do you think is so desperate on the street?"

  Ma Zengchen didn’t answer the phone. They have children to support and debts to pay. In December last year, they opened a "Happy Lemon" tea shop in Miaoshan community. "When this happens (referring to COVID-19), ‘ Turn off ’ The ". Wang Jiangyan sliced the lemon in the "Happy Lemon" stock, and in the evening, prepared a bucket of hot water floating with lemon slices for Ma Zengchen.

  In the first few days after the community was closed, Ma Zengchen was able to enter and leave the community with proof.

  There are three electronic certificates in his mobile phone. Two copies are certificates from Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce, which prove that Ma Zengchen’s company is an "important livelihood security enterprise" and its employees are "livelihood security workers", who undertake the supply tasks of "daily necessities and protective articles" and need to give priority to the procurement of materials, road traffic and commuting.

  The other is the "Certificate of New Type Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention Vehicle", which has Ma Zengchen’s ID number and license plate number, and is stamped with the official seal of Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Commerce and his company.

  In other different communities, Ma Zengchen’s colleagues have been able to pass the temperature test every day with these certificates. On March 3, one of them confirmed this to the reporter.

  But on February 18th, these certificates failed at the gate of Miaoshan Community. Ma Zengchen said that after he returned from delivering vegetables, the staff of the community "seal control management post" asked him for a paper version of the certificate. When he ran back to the company to print it, the other party also said that "the printed one is a black stamp, and it needs a red stamp".

  Later, the company specially issued him an "employee certificate" to prove that Ma Zengchen participated in the "people’s livelihood and medical material distribution work".

  Wang Jiangyan remembers that a community worker later said that Ma Zengchen had left the community for more than 24 hours at this time. If he went home, he needed to be isolated at home for 14 days.

  A staff member of the Miaoshan Development Zone Management Committee Office confirmed this statement to the reporter: Ma Zengchen had two choices at that time — — Either go home and isolate, or don’t go into the community. The staff member did not explain the basis of this move.

  "Isolation for 14 days, that how line? We still have to earn money to support our families. " Wang Jiangyan said. They have calculated that the elderly, children, store rent, car loans, mortgages, even if they don’t eat or drink, the monthly expenses will be more than 10,000 yuan.

  From February 18th, Ma Zengchen took the car as his home.

  The company requires the food delivery man to arrive at the warehouse at 3 am every day, and he will arrive one and a half hours in advance — — It’s too late to pick up the goods until other colleagues run out of scanning guns. At about 6 o’clock in the morning, he began to deliver vegetables to downtown Wuhan.

  Ma Zengchen said that novices usually send "one line" a day. He started this job in July 2019 and will send two or three lines every day. Sometimes, in order to earn more money, I will apply for an extra line. There are about 20 customers on each line, which takes half a day.

  For him, the ideal situation is that all customers can be in a community, but this is "too difficult to meet." There are four or five households in a community, which will save a lot of time. He is "very grateful".

  He came home later and later. The dinner prepared by Wang Jiangyan is Ma Zengchen’s only dinner in a day. A big bowl can’t be stuffed in the gap of the iron fence in the community, so it can only be handed from the bottom, and he eats it in the cold wind. Occasionally, he will soak a bucket of instant noodles in the company. On the way, he couldn’t find hot water to eat instant noodles.

  He is seriously short of sleep. On the evening of February 29th, when the reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network met Ma Zengchen, he had just finished 20.5 hours’ work. When the reporter talked to Wang Jiangyan, he put the driver’s seat down and lay on the back of the chair, and soon there was a snoring.

  He takes the time to catch up on sleep, sleeping in the car with clothes and a blanket every day.

  There is only one blanket. "I am very embarrassed to say it. There is only a thin quilt at home." Wang Jiangyan said that she used to go back to her hometown in winter, and she didn’t prepare thick quilts in Wuhan. Now she wants to buy them and there is nowhere to buy them.

  The latest lowest temperature at night in Wuhan is 5℃. Ma Zengchen sometimes wakes up with cold. He will start the car, have a meeting with the air conditioner for heating, and then turn it off. "It will be dangerous to turn on the air conditioner for a long time."

  Fortunately, he has been doing manual work and has a strong body. He has never caught a cold.

  Every three or four days, when there are few people in the company after work at night, Ma Zengchen will pick up some hot water in the bathroom with a face to scrub his body. He tries to go to the toilet in the company, and sometimes he is really in a hurry at night, so he goes to the nearby Woods to solve it — — A helpless move in an extraordinary period.

  Ma Zengchen said that this bitterness is nothing, and the most troublesome thing is to video chat with parents.

  Parents miss them very much and video chat with them almost every morning before 9: 00, telling them not to go out.

  In order to avoid letting parents find themselves out delivering vegetables, Ma Zengchen sometimes finds a corner and sometimes talks to the old man in the toilet. Once, when his father saw that he was in the car, he had to explain that "the car didn’t move for a long time and came out for a walk."

  Ma Zengchen came to Wuhan when he was 17 years old. Before he became a vegetable delivery man, he made a living by distributing fruits on a tricycle. He had a fruit business with his friends and lost money. In 2018, he gritted his teeth and bought this Jinbei van.

  The car payment is more than 63,000 yuan. Wang Jiangyan overdrawn more than ten credit cards and paid a down payment for the "flower garden" line, and she has to pay back a car loan of 1,430 yuan every month.

  Ma Zengchen especially cherishes this car. Usually, as long as nothing happens, he will wash the car body with a hose. "What can I say about a car? If you cherish it, it will work hard for you."

  Now, this car has become his temporary shelter.

  Sun Yong, secretary of Miaoshan New Village Branch, told reporters that Ma Zengchen had stayed outside for such a long time, and he didn’t know the specific reasons and had never encountered a similar situation. He also said that there is no rule that residents should be isolated at home for 14 days after leaving the community for 24 hours. He thought that Ma Zengchen was selling vegetables outside every day.

  On the evening of March 2, a staff member of the village Committee proposed two solutions: if Ma Zengchen needs to return to his place of residence, he needs a physical examination, excludes COVID-19, and then stays at home for 14 days; If the isolation for 14 days affects his work, the village will send him two quilts.

  Ma Zengchen said that it is normal to enter the warehouse through two doors and take temperature twice every day, and there is a registration record. "How can I send food to the public if it is abnormal?"

  After the whole city of Wuhan pressed the pause button, Ma Zengchen met most volunteers, courier brothers, take-away riders and vegetable delivery people like him.

  He felt that during the special period, the business volume increased sharply, and there were fewer demanding customers. Occasionally, there are cases of inconsistent orders and omissions in sorting, and no one has ever embarrassed him. Almost all customers have shown extraordinary generosity, "at this time, everyone can understand."

  Because of the "non-contact" delivery of vegetables, Ma Zengchen will hear many "thank you" on the phone after sending the vegetables to the designated place. He has been working in Wuhan for 21 years, and he has never felt so "needed and respected" like this month, which makes him "very energetic" in his work.

  Only at night, lying in the car outside the iron fence, will he feel like a stranger.
