With a budget of over 100,000, who should you choose for a family SUV? Actually, just looking at the sales rankings will give you the answer. There is one car that has frequently taken the compact SUV sales champion title and has the nickname "little Volvo." That's right, this is the Geely Xingyue L, a model born 4 years ago.
Although it has been on the market for a long time, this car's product strength is still competitive today. Although its exterior easily makes people associate it with Volvo, its original design is actually still very striking. The signature grille shape, combined with straight and tough lines, creates a certain luxurious atmosphere and has strong recognizability.
The most eye-catching part of the interior is the triple screen, which seemed truly ahead of its time back then and still maintains an advantage now. In addition, the front seats are fully equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage, which is very attractive for families.
It's just that the screen resolution is not impressive, only 1920*720, so the display effect is rather average. Also, the Galaxy OS 2.0 system is somewhat behind the current level, and it would be highly anticipated if the next generation could switch to a large central control screen and adopt the FlymeAuto system.
This car's price range is 147,700 to 179,700 yuan, putting it squarely against the BYD Song PLUS. The current discount margin is also relatively large, and many owners have essentially gotten it on the road for about the guide price. With trade-in subsidies and national subsidies and other discounts, the price can be even lower, which is a key factor in the Xingyue L selling well.
In terms of configuration, the Eastern Radiance versions are all equipped with a 12-speaker Infinity audio system and AR-HUD. There are also some standard features, such as an L2-level assisted driving system, transparent chassis, sensor-activated power tailgate, front double-layer laminated glass, PM2.5 filtration device, and so on. These configurations are all very practical for daily use.
In terms of power, the Changfeng version is equipped with the older 4G20TDJ engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while other versions all use the 4G20TDB high-power engine paired with an 8AT transmission. So the Changfeng version plays the role of lowering the price, but its practicality is not bad. From the perspective of power quality, I personally still recommend choosing the 8AT version.
Of course, the most outstanding aspect of the Xingyue L is still its handling feel, with a very classical European-style tuning flavor, and the damping setup is also tuned toward sportiness. This kind of handling feel is unique in its class.
So, the eyes of the masses are sharp. Whether this Xingyue L is good or not actually does not need me to say much; the sales have already explained the issue. As many owners say, this Xingyue L is now everywhere on the streets, and it is precisely this that further proves the value of this car.
