Does the Xingrui have CarPlay?
2 Answers
The Xingrui does not have CarPlay. Below is an introduction to the Xingrui: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with Volvo's 2.0T engine. The Xingrui features Volvo's Drive-E series 2.0TD engine paired with a 7DCT transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 N·m. Thanks to the CMA architecture, it adopts a MacPherson front suspension, an E-type multi-link independent rear frame, ZF DP-EPS power steering system, ITT brake pads, and long-travel shock absorbers, ensuring strong grip and excellent cornering handling. 2. Exterior: A new design language with a striking wide-body silhouette. The Xingrui's design draws inspiration from the concept car showcased at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The front fascia features a new "cosmic echo energy ripple" grille with vertical slats, complemented by triple-pulse daytime running lights and sharp headlight clusters on both sides, enhancing the car's sporty and tech-savvy appeal. A distinctive design element on the side profile is the "slingshot" swirl design, extending from the front grille's "cosmic echo energy ripple" motif to the side body contour line, running from the side mirrors to the A-pillar, visually emphasizing a sense of power. The car measures 4,785 mm in length, 1,869 mm in width, and 1,469 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. 3. Interior: Minimalist design with a sense of technological rhythm. The Geely Xingrui adopts a new "time-space overlapping cockpit" design, characterized by fluid and clean lines. The interior features a yacht blue and premium gray color scheme, a flat-bottom three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a floating 12.3-inch central touchscreen, exuding a strong technological vibe.
I've been driving the Xingrui for a while now, so here's my real experience. The 21 Premium version didn't come with CarPlay from the factory, and I had to spend 900 yuan to add a module at a modification shop to solve this. Actually, the newly released 23 Qingyun version now supports it, so make sure to ask about the configuration and model year before buying. The built-in GKUI system is quite friendly to Android users, supporting Huawei HiCar, so navigation and music playback aren't an issue. But for iPhone users, it's more troublesome. I currently use a phone mount for navigation and Bluetooth for music. I'd recommend going straight for the 23 high-end version—it's hassle-free and saves you the trouble of later modifications and worrying about voiding the original car warranty.
