The times are constantly changing, but the young culture of pursuing trends will not change, but what is the trend, who can represent the trend, who is the trend pioneer? Spice, as a person who has been here before, still feels that this question is rather mysterious, and who am I, where did I come from, and where am I going? Its size does not match the price, the same budget can get a good compact SUV, and Geely Colorado PRO 4,330mm length, 2,600mm wheelbase, for traditionally like the "big car" for the people of the country seems a little on the small side.
However, cars are not priced and sold based on their size, so the Geely Colorado sold 10,100 units in the first month after it was launched on October 31, 2018, and sold a total of more than 178,000 units as of last month, which is no exaggeration to say that it is a dark horse. Because there are a lot of domestic SUVs in the same price range, but not many of them can achieve this sales result.
Since we've talked about trends for half a day, it's only natural to talk about the Geely Colorado's face value. The front part of the car still adopts a starry-eyed evocative center mesh design and forms a whole with the headlights in a very harmonious way, and the two lights have an L-shaped internal design, providing a clearer recognition, and of course, they are also very clear after being lit up, and in the lower half of the car's front part, the harshly shaped bumper surrounds the fog lights in which I personally like very much.
The body adopts relatively complex lines to outline a strong side shape, although it is a small SUV, but still creates a slender visual effect, the upper waistline around the rear, forming a ring around the body, the rear shape is also layered, in the design of SUVs can also be considered a fine product.
This is the first time that a SUV has been designed with the same design as a small SUV.
In addition there are some details of the highlights, such as two-tone racing wheels, bilateral four gun barrel racing exhaust, Ranger Edition and Battle (Battle) Edition also has a two-tone body, a large rear wing, carbon fiber mirrors (but it is a replica), 18-inch Tomahawk wheels, the mere appearance of the design is full of Battle attributes, has already in the appearance of the appearance of many young people to meet the expectations of. ?
Then we talk about the interior, the embracing cockpit adopts the design concept of the aircraft, so the sense of technology is the main style, some models also have matte metal brushed trim, the buttons to control the air conditioning is similar to the piano keys, in addition to the multi-function steering wheel, the electronic gear lever are all the layout of humanized easy to get started, and the operation of the feel of the texture is also rich for the young people, black and red two-color interior, can better highlight the Colorado PRO's sporty temperament, and the air conditioning vents design inspiration, said to come from the starship tail engine, I think some inexplicable but the layout is quite neat.
Then we come to the configuration of Geely Colorado PRO, Geely has fully upgraded the car machine, equipped with the latest GKUI-19 GKUI intelligent ecosystem, which improves human-computer interaction, and its voice system is more intelligent, not only responsive but also tolerant of dialects; the center control screen operates smoothly without lagging, and coupled with the 5-year unlimited traffic, it makes its practicality and entertainment features more meet the requirements of young people.
But the most technological is the GKUS-19 unique car control home function, able to connect the car, cell phone and home smart devices, in short, you can use the phone to start the vehicle remotely, air conditioning and air purification system, you can also use the car system to control your home refrigerator, washing machine, sweeper and other equipment, of course, you have to have intelligent electrical appliances to be able to my home that ten years ago the refrigerator does not listen, my house is not the same as a ten-year old refrigerator, but it is not the same as a ten-year old refrigerator. My ten-year-old refrigerator won't listen to me. In addition, Gaode navigation, three driving modes and so on are the highlights of the Geely Colorado PRO.
Finally, it's all about the powertrain. Geely Colorado PRO is equipped with 1.4T and 1.5T engines, of which the 1.4T engine is a four-cylinder with a maximum horsepower of 141 and a peak torque of 235 Nm, matched with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox; the 1.5T is a three-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 177 and a peak torque of 255 Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Transmission, although it is a 3-cylinder engine, but in the nacelle added a balance beam, to a certain extent, play a role in the anti-shaking, 1.5T model starting price of 98,800 yuan, combined with the current concessions, the budget of 100,000 yuan can also try to get started.
Because the car's maximum overall quality is 1,367 kilograms, so whether it is 1.4T or 1.5T engine, the power performance is very good, the acceleration of the first half of the range and mid-range is good, but there is also a drawback, is that the chassis is used in the front MacPherson, the rear torsion beam suspension, although nowadays the car-making technology is changing day by day, but the rear torsion beam suspension of the jumping, it is necessary to spend a larger The Geely Colorado PRO is obviously not comparable to French cars, so when passing speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, rear-seat passengers won't feel comfortable.
