Entering 2021, major automakers are competing to launch their own new cars, but the fastest is their own brands. Before the Tank 600 and Tank 900 were exposed one after another, becoming hot new cars on the Internet. A few days ago, Geely Automobile launched a new SUV code-named KX11, which immediately became the focus of discussion in the automotive industry. Recently, Geely Automobile announced the official name of the model – Xingyue L.
It is reported that Xingyue L is based on Geely’s CMA super matrix. The "L" in the name has the meaning of Larger (bigger), Luxury (luxury) and Liberate (subversion), which means the upgrade of body size, space, power and other aspects. According to the declaration information on the MIIT website, the size of Xingyue L is not much different from that of Geely’s previous medium-sized SUV Haoyue. According to Xingrui’s approach, Xingyue L was obviously born to subvert the joint venture compact SUV. After the later listing, it is estimated that it will also compete with the "high half-class" strategy and the joint venture compact SUV.
In the past year or two, the main design of domestic SUV models have come into the market, whether it is Changan’s UNI-T or Tank 300, etc., the presence of independent brands in the SUV market can be said to be getting stronger and stronger. And Geely, as the leading player in the independent brand, will naturally not fall behind. This time, Xingyue L, as a new SUV model, is based on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. This first distanced itself from Haoyue, because Haoyue came from Geely’s 7-seat car-specific platform – the CV platform.
Looking at Geely’s current model sequence, the current product system of Geely Automobile has formed a family of,, Bing, Bo, and Star series. Under each generation, there are car products and SUV products. For example, under the Bing generation, the car is, the SUV is, under the Bo generation, the car is, the SUV is, to the Star generation, the car is still named after Rui. According to this logic, the SUV products under the Star generation should be named after Yue. Since there is Xingyue, this new product is followed by Xingyue with the L suffix.
In terms of appearance, Xingyue L adopts Geely’s latest family-style design style. The large-sized straight waterfall air intake grille is similar to Xingrui, and the concave shape is quite Volvo-like. The headlights use a matrix LED light source, and with the upper and lower daytime running lights, it presents a three-stage headlight design.
On the side of the car body, the straight waistline gives him a very tough visual sense. The outline of the waistline and the design of the front and rear eyebrows, especially the through trend, are relatively slender visually, creating a strong sense of movement, making the three-dimensional sense of the side of the car more recognizable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Geely Xingyue L are 4770 * 1895 * 1689mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2845mm.
In particular, the rear design is very solid, with several tough parallel lines creating a strong sense of hierarchy. At the same time, the through-type taillights are also highly recognizable.
The newly released interior official map shows that the new car adopts a dual-screen design of the central control screen and the co-pilot entertainment screen, and the whole shape is very avant-garde. At the same time, the center console adopts a dual-color design, plus neat stitches and materials, creating a sense of texture and luxury of the new car. This is different from other models currently owned by Geely. With such a high luxury configuration, it can be seen that Geely has given full attention to Geely Xingyue L.
Thanks to the CMA architecture adopted by Geely Xingyue L, it will be equipped with a Drive-E series 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 350N · m. At the same time, it will also provide a low-power engine option with a maximum power of 149kW and a peak torque of 300N · m. To match it is an 8-speed automatic gearbox from Aisin. In terms of chassis, Geely Xingyue L adopts a suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-bar, and some models will also be equipped with a four-wheel drive system. It seems that Geely Xingyue L will have certain advantages in both power and handling.
On the other hand, Haoyue, which is still equipped with the 1.8T engine, with the cooperation of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, is completely the economic orientation of the home, and the configuration of the front drive and rear torque beam of the whole system is also destined to have completely different personality orientations. Obviously, Geely Xingyue L has higher quality and higher positioning, and is expected to become the most expensive model under Geely.
So it seems that Geely Xingyue L not only has a breakthrough in appearance and styling, but also the luxury and technological configuration of the interior is unprecedented, and the CMA architecture has given him very excellent product strength. So as Geely’s new model, can Geely Xingyue L become a new disruptor in the SUV market? We will wait and see.

Extreme krypton 009 has been officially declared in the latest batch of declaration lists, and its design is highly similar to the previously released official images. Therefore, we will not read too much into its appearance. Let’s talk about its terrifying parameters today.
From the declaration information, the first amazing parameter of the polar krypton 009, the curb weight, its curb weight reached 2830 kilograms, 2.83 tons! Even if it is a large battery pack + medium and large MPV, this weight is also overweight.
The second highlight is the power, the polar krypton 009 adopts the front and rear dual motor layout. There is no doubt about this. The total power of the dual motor reaches 400kW and 544 horsepower, which may bring it an acceleration of 4-5 seconds. After all, the curb quality and the shape of the MPV are here, and they will not run to the limit.
Third, the tire parameters, the tire specification of the polar krypton 009 is 265/45 R20, which is sufficient with such power, but from the perspective of battery life, with so many unfavorable factors, the NEDC can still achieve 700km, and the power consumption control should be good.
On April 12, the joint stock company of Dongfeng Automobile Group (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Automobile Group") announced that the company entered into an equity transfer agreement with PFN and Shenlong Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenlong Automobile"). According to the equity transfer agreement, the company agreed to acquire, and PFN and Shenlong Automobile respectively agreed to transfer 25% and 50% of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroe ? n Automotive Finance Co., Ltd.

According to previous reports, Stellantis Group will adjust its business in China, and Shenlong Automobile will adopt the "two rooms and one hall" plan, in which "two rooms" refers to Dongfeng Peugeot will be led by the French side, and Dongfeng Citroen will be led by the Chinese side; "one hall" refers to the sharing of existing commodity planning, technology, quality, industrial production and other public areas. According to relevant reports, Stellantis Group and Dongfeng Automobile will negotiate the shareholding adjustment of Shenlong Automobile. The plan is that the foreign party will hold a 75% stake in Dongfeng Peugeot, and the Chinese party will hold a 75% stake in Dongfeng Citroen. The shareholding of Shenlong Automobile by both parties will remain unchanged at 50:50. However, as of press time, Shenlong’s plan of "two rooms and one living room" has not been announced, but Dongfeng Motor Group’s acquisition of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Financial Co., Ltd. cannot be ruled out as part of the plan.
According to the production and sales data released by Dongfeng Motor Group, the sales volume of Shenlong Automobile in March was 10,847 units, an increase of 44.51% compared with 7,506 units in the same period of 2021. The cumulative sales volume in the first quarter was 31,480 units, an increase of 79.49% compared with 17,539 units in the same period of 2021. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, the highest sales volume of Shenlong Automobile in March was Versailles C5X, with 4,700 units, followed by Peugeot 4008 and Peugeot 2008, with sales of 1,294 units and 1,264 units respectively, and other models sold less than 1,000 units. As far as the current situation is concerned, the sales source of Shenlong Automobile basically relies on Versailles C5X, which is the best-selling model of Shenlong Automobile, but the gap between products of the same level is quite a bit.
2022 is the 30th anniversary of the founding of Shenlong Automobile, and it is also a critical moment to determine its fate. Looking back at the history of Shenlong Automobile, there has been a well-known model like Fukang, which once sold 700,000 vehicles a year, making it an uncompromising first-line car brand. However, due to the aging of the product line and the untimely replacement, Shenlong Automobile fell by 15.2%, 36.85%, 32.89%, 55.17% and 55.74% respectively from 2016 to 2020. Sales have declined year-on-year for five consecutive years, and sales have halved for two consecutive years.
In October 2020, Shenlong Automobile released the "Yuan +" plan, starting the road of rejuvenation with the slogan of "more Chinese products, more accurate marketing, more reliable service, and more efficient operation". At present, initial results have been achieved, but there is still a long way to go from its goal. For the new year’s plan, Shenlong Automobile said that 170,000 vehicles will be reached in 2022, and 200,000 vehicles will be challenged. To achieve 200,000 vehicles, the profit will be stable in the future. We will not pursue 500,000 or 700,000 vehicles in the future, but stabilize at 300,000 or 400,000 vehicles.
