Is the Xingyue I a Hybrid?
2 Answers
Geely Xingyue offers three driving modes: Economy Mode, Comfort Mode, and Sport Mode. The driving mode selector knob is located at the lower left corner of the gear lever, allowing for effortless switching with just a light touch of the finger. The instrument panel will display the corresponding color for the selected mode. Below are the relevant details: 1. Configuration: The Geely Xingyue comes standard with features such as tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, reverse camera, a 12.3-inch central control touchscreen, voice recognition control, and vehicle connectivity. Mid-to-high trim levels additionally offer full-speed adaptive cruise control, 360-degree panoramic imaging, BOSE audio system, and an electric tailgate, delivering an exceptional driving experience. 2. Powertrain: The Geely Xingyue is available with three powertrain options: a 1.5T gasoline engine, a 1.5T hybrid, and a 2.0T gasoline engine, with peak power outputs of 130kW, 140kW, and 175kW respectively, and peak torque outputs of 255Nm, 300Nm, and 350Nm. The transmission systems paired with these engines are a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I know the Xingyue I indeed has a hybrid version, which is a plug-in hybrid. It integrates an electric motor and an engine, allowing pure electric driving at low speeds in the city, significantly saving fuel consumption, while ensuring range on long trips with gasoline. I think this design is quite smart—for example, the electric mode provides a quiet effect in traffic jams, and the smoothness is much better than pure gasoline cars. After driving a friend's car, the actual fuel consumption was measured at 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers, saving at least 30% compared to the regular gasoline version. Battery maintenance isn't complicated either, as Geely has optimized battery management—regular checks are recommended for long-term use. Overall, it's a practical choice, and its technological maturity is on par with BYD's hybrid series.
