I heard that the Geely S1 was discontinued in 2020, and I know quite a bit about it. I think the main reason was poor sales performance and fierce market competition. As a compact sedan, the S1 did okay when it was first launched in 2017, but later when SUVs became popular—like the Geely Boyue, which sold like hot cakes—consumers started preferring larger space and higher configurations, making the S1's positioning seem outdated. The company needed to optimize its product lineup, discontinuing underperforming models to reduce losses and freeing up resources to develop new energy vehicles like the Geometry series. I’ve noticed that many owners reported the S1’s fuel consumption wasn’t particularly low, and the space was somewhat insufficient, which accelerated its phase-out. Actually, discontinuing car models is quite common, especially for small-displacement vehicles affected by environmental policies. Geely likely shifted its focus to best-selling models. Consumers didn’t lose out much—used S1s are still available in the second-hand market, and parts and maintenance services remain accessible, so usage isn’t affected.

I've driven a Geely S1 for several years, and it's no surprise to me that it's been discontinued. Small sedans haven't been very popular in recent years, as everyone's been leaning towards SUVs, considering them more practical and hassle-free. Geely probably analyzed market data and found the S1's sales figures less than ideal, with thin profit margins, so they decided to discontinue it to focus on mainstay models like the Emgrand. It's part of the company's strategic adjustment—reducing the number of models to operate more efficiently. In the long run, this benefits brand development and avoids resource waste. I remember the S1 had a novelty factor when it first launched, but its design and technology updates were slow. Competitors like the BYD F3 innovated faster, leaving the S1 behind. But don't worry, discontinuation doesn't mean disappearance. Maintenance shops and spare parts inventories are sufficient, so existing owners can keep driving without issues. The market is always changing, and model turnover is just the natural order of things.

Is there a time limit for vehicle mortgage release?

There is no specific time limit for handling the mortgage release procedures after repaying the vehicle loan. The timing is determined through mutual agreement between the vehicle owner and the pawnshop or bank. Once both parties agree on a time, they can proceed to the management office to complete the mortgage release procedures. Since materials such as the identity of the vehicle owner and the vehicle mortgage registration are required, both parties need to be present simultaneously. Generally, the required documents for mortgage release registration include: 1. "Motor Vehicle Mortgage/Pledge Registration Application Form"; 2. Proof of identity of the vehicle owner; 3. Proof of identity of the mortgagee; 4. Motor vehicle registration certificate; 5. Mortgage release notice from the mortgagee.

What is the difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers?

The difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers lies in their material properties. Here are the details: 1. PU: The material used is polyurethane. Compared to PVC material, its advantage is improved toughness; however, it has poor weather resistance, weak resistance to alkaline corrosion, tends to yellow over time, cannot be repaired, and has poor anti-stain performance. 2. TPU: The material used is thermoplastic polyurethane. Its advantages include excellent impact resistance, puncture resistance, and scratch resistance, stable thermal repair function, strong water repellency, superior anti-corrosion and stain resistance, high-temperature resistance, as well as low-temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. This material is recyclable and environmentally friendly. The downside is its complex manufacturing process and higher price.
