Road coffee Comment: Geely icon ahead of Chinese automotive design starting point for a breakthrough?

When that station, code-named Geely SX12 mysterious SUV, a time of their official publication exterior, interior design pictures, for most consumers, it is puzzled. Confusing point is that from which point of view, it is both a traditional SUV and not so much on appearance, so the appearance, interior, too, like the years before the time of the introduction of a series of heavy vehicle as summarized at the beginning, public opinion yes, science fiction, avant-garde, and even strange.

When October 22, real car Geely icon finally officially unveiled in front of the world, above the same point of view. Not only for consumers, this car left the impression that break the convention, the automotive industry for many practitioners, it seems the same to produce the car with a lot of puzzled.

highlights are summarized seen a lot of clues

The introduction of new models, must be behind the car manufacturers want to have a say, then, as if this is how to say it, very tricky. And no doubt, the most successful way is to attract more people’s curiosity, in terms of public opinion will be the natural center.

From the earliest concept car, CONCEPT ICON, to today’s Geely icon real car, the design is the most discussed . The reason is simple, and its existing market, after many car manufacturers show concept cars are not the same, neither are a lot of sharp lines, nor is the Founder or rounded as possible, but understood auspicious for the future Elements.

the definition of beauty and ugliness, everyone’s standards are different, and for Geely Automobile, this more is a breakthrough and test the water, on the broad angle of view of automotive history, today’s Geely, had many positive and car prices, as in the choice of breaking the shackles of their own traditions and traditional brings.

is the same car, not the traditional dashboard, not the traditional big screen, not the traditional interior architecture, dual-10.25 inches large screen combination, coupled with Geely could get the shot numerous featureSet, and excellent workmanship.


no doubt, also with to function on a lot smarter driving, as the power system, has not yet officially announced, according to information before the exposure of the declaration, it is expected to carry 1.5T inline three-cylinder turbocharged engine, maximum power of 177 horsepower, matching 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. In another development, the future of the car will also provide an optional hybrid version, with basic power and the more helter-skelter same.

In this behind it?

Based on the level of market considerations, many people will be locked dimension to the level of new car sales, from positioning point of view, the auspicious icon of body size 4350/1810 / 1615mm, wheelbase 2640mm, performance than the current size Geely more helter-skelter slightly larger, are more typical compact SUV models.

because many have not yet disclosed information, including prices, highlights the specific configuration, etc., we can not speculate that it can not and this style models available in the market to compete. After all, it is new, different from the past.

but, if you another point of view, the meaning behind this, could really want to say you are lucky.

was designed from the start: the success of manufacturers, but especially mentioned people worldwide on the heart Dear kind of companies, simply because they are not outstanding sales performance, because to keep up with the rhythm of the times, to keep up with new consumer rhythm, does not want to fire immune. Their success, more because he broke the traditional rules, create new rules. Honda Vetc so, lean manufacturing and the Toyota Hybrid gasoline-electric hybrid technology is so, BMW’s twin-turbo twin-scroll so, Audi’s Le Mans race performance so, there are many such stories.

As for the Chinese car prices, at the moment the car market, but also most of the primary stage, few touched new rules. Geely icon, in the development of the automotive industry point of view, is undoubtedly a temptation, is behind many of the reserve after GeelyAnd release.

then another perspective, it can sell more than just Chinese consumers, but also the world’s consumers. Europe, North America, these mature auto market, car accepted for innovation, in fact, than we imagine a lot more open in extent. So, to the birth of DS, the BMW i8 these far more than ordinary imagination famous models.

Today, Geely Automobile, the same as in the choice to go out, go out, like making. Geely icon introduction, no doubt people may be able to see more, play more belong to Geely.

Written in the last:

for a new series of things, in fact, we could have another angle to think about, because it’s different, can not use the traditional thinking logic to think. Geely icon is the case, has a new idea, why not give it a try. Elon Musk not mind the crazy idea that Tesla would not have to change the traditional giants born, and Mr. Li did not mind many thoughts, there would be no today Geely Automobile powerful.

Perhaps, after many years, we can go back and look at the auspicious icon to launch significance. This is a bold attempt to design, and for other aspects of bold attempt, Geely has it not tried, such as self-developed chips, exclusive of intelligent vehicle systems, and so on. Perhaps, leaving the Chinese breakthrough in automotive design, we will start from now on.
