Is the Geely Icon a hybrid?

Geely Icon is a hybrid vehicle, equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system. More details about the Geely Icon are as follows: 1. The Geely Icon is powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, which delivers 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 255 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 rpm and maximum torque between 1500 and 4000 rpm. 2. The engine features DVVT technology and a 48V mild hybrid system, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. The front suspension of the Geely Icon uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.

Last week, I specifically researched the Geely ICON when accompanying my sister to look at cars. This model is entirely gasoline-powered across the lineup. It uses a 1.5T three-cylinder engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The green license plates in the showroom were all on the Boyue New Energy models. I remember the salesperson even pulled out the configuration sheet to show me, saying this car mainly targets the young market, with a solid BMA architecture, but it doesn’t even come with a 48V mild hybrid system. Honestly, if you want a hybrid at this price point, the BYD Song Pro DM-i or Geely’s Emgrand L Thor version next door would be more suitable, with fuel consumption as low as just over 4 liters. However, the ICON’s transparent chassis and hidden door handles are pretty cool, and my sister ended up placing an order purely for its looks.

I drove my friend's ICON Chocolate Edition and specifically checked under the hood. There were no high-voltage cables or orange wiring harnesses commonly seen in hybrid models. The fuel consumption label filed with MIIT shows 6.3L, which wouldn't be that high if it were a hybrid. The only regret is the lack of a hybrid system, but its 540-degree camera system really gives beginners peace of mind when driving. If you're looking for a hybrid, I'd suggest waiting for the facelift. Currently, the Galaxy L7 and Lynk & Co 08 PHEV are both excellent options.

After reviewing the product lineup of Geely, it was found that the currently available 2023 ICON model only comes in a gasoline version. The core specifications include a 1.5TD turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 133kW. Hybrid technology is concentrated on the Thunder God Hi·X platform, as seen in models like the Xingyue L Extended Range Edition which utilizes that system. The ICON's fuel filler cap is located on the left side of the body, whereas hybrid vehicles typically have their charging port on the right side. The vehicle's infotainment system also lacks an energy management page, and the air conditioning cooling still relies on the engine driving the compressor.
