Geely Geely Xingrui

My experience with the Geely Xingrui 1.5T: The 12-bar chrome grille and sporty kit with 18-inch wheels and red calipers look stylish, though the low chassis scrapes easily. Interior quality is impressive with soft materials, but it lacks ambient lighting, a glasses case, and SOS. The 2800mm wheelbase offers spacious rear seating—even for a 180cm/80kg person, there's ample head and legroom. The Flyme Auto system responds well to voice commands, but switching pages with multiple apps lags, and no CarPlay is inconvenient for iPhone users relying on Apple Maps.

Driving-wise, the 181hp 1.5T handles daily commutes: 50-80km/h acceleration is strong, brakes are responsive, and the chassis feels solid over speed bumps. However, low-speed gear shifts are jerky, and high-speed acceleration has delays. Fuel economy is 10-12L/100km in traffic vs. 6L on highways. Drawbacks include poor sound insulation (loud tire/wind noise above 80km/h), high city fuel consumption, and the default "Intelligent" driving mode that resets daily—annoying as I prefer "Comfort" for efficiency. For frequent highway driving or acceleration needs, upgrading to the 2.0T is better; others should accept the油耗 and consider soundproofing or tire upgrades.

The Geely Xingrui has above-average sound insulation but noticeable tire noise. It feels stable during high-speed lane changes. The suspension is slightly stiff but acceptable. The infotainment system is smooth and large, though the lack of CarPlay is a pity. The 360-degree camera, automatic headlights, and wipers are useful. The front seats are a bit high even at the lowest setting. The front bumper has low ground clearance, often scraping curbs. In Beijing's urban and ring road traffic, the fuel cost is about 0.7 yuan per km; switching to Eco mode after the first service seems to save 1-2 liters per 100km. Black paint looks stylish but is prone to showing dirt. The large gap between wheels and wheel arches resembles an SUV, which is less attractive.

Exterior: The Geely Xingrui looks good, especially from the front side, appearing elegant and stable. I chose black, which is耐看 but gets dirty easily. The front feels a bit short, and the large grille gaps let mosquitoes get stuck on the fan at night. Interior: It doesn't feel cheap or overly plastic, with a低调 and practical design. The multifunctional steering wheel has no unnecessary buttons, but there's no one-touch window control for all four windows. The seats are a bit hard and uncomfortable for long drives; the driver's legroom is cramped, and the passenger seat can't be adjusted up and down. My ankles felt uncomfortable initially when using the pedals, but I got used to it.
