Test drive the Geely Galaxy L6: Frontal PK Qin PLUSDM-i, how does it drive?

I recently test drove the Galaxy L6, which is also the second product launched by the Galaxy brand. It has to be said that it is another car with a good appearance that can take a taxi. The pre-sale price of the new car is 128-158000 yuan, which will be officially launched on the 22nd of this month. I believe there will be a certain reduction in price at that time, after all, the entry-level model price of the BYD Qin PLUSDM-i, which is a direct competitor of this car, has already dropped below 100000 yuan. Therefore, for the final guidance price, everyone can look forward to a wave. Today we will focus on discussing products.

The new car has announced four configurations, which are divided into two versions based on pure electric range: 60km and 125km. We will test drive the top configuration - the 125km Starship version.

As a plug-in hybrid car, let's first talk about the energy consumption that everyone is concerned about. The test drive time is limited, and it is not possible to measure the pure electric range and power consumption, so we use the displayed data for your reference.

The initial battery level when receiving the car is 98%, set the air conditioning temperature to 24 degrees Celsius, and set the air volume to 2 levels before departure. It should be noted that our testing was conducted in intelligent mode (based on driving conditions, oil/electricity intelligent switching), with road conditions involving highways, congestion, and Dalian Huanhaishan Road.

After running 70.9km (2 hours and 49 minutes, with an average speed of 25km/h), the average fuel consumption of the vehicle is 4.2L/100km, and the average power consumption is 5.9kWh/100km. Overall, it is quite economical. If the 70.9km is run in pure electric mode, it can achieve zero fuel consumption.

By the way, let me mention the differences between the four driving modes of the Galaxy L6:

1. Pure electric mode: suitable for medium and short distance routes, can achieve zero fuel consumption driving;

2. Extended range mode: pure electric sensation, without mileage anxiety;

3. Intelligent mode: also known as lazy mode, the vehicle will automatically switch between "fuel" or "electricity" according to the working conditions;

4. Performance mode: This does not require too much explanation. Whether using oil or electricity, performance is the first priority to ensure the vehicle's acceleration ability.

How about Galaxy L6 driving?

The hybrid system can achieve natural smoothness when switching between oil and electricity or when outputting power together, which leaves a deep impression on people. Taking the intelligent mode that I have been using for a long time as an example, it is difficult for you to detect the driving mode of the vehicle at this moment, and all changes are unintentional.

The chassis of the vehicle has a comfortable orientation and is not lacking in texture. At the same time, its cornering handling is also good, giving people strong confidence when cornering. In fact, it's not just the Galaxy brand cars, but we also had this feeling when driving Geely brand models before. In terms of chassis tuning, our own brand can already compete with joint venture car companies.

Let's talk about other aspects. I really like the minimalist style of the carriage, and the materials are also very good. The soft ground is soft, and the hard ground is hard. The car is user-friendly enough, with an 8155 chip and Galaxy NOS operating system. The best use is a voice system, which supports continuous conversations and also supports' what you see is what you say '.

As a compact sedan, the Galaxy L6 has quite a lot of space, and although the middle platform is not flat, it does not occupy too much legroom for the rear middle passengers.

One drawback:

Except for the top model, which can be equipped with seat heating, other configurations do not provide this function, which I believe may not meet the needs of many users in northern regions.

Write at the end:

What is the product strength of Galaxy L6? I think this needs to be compared with its direct competitor - BYD Qin PLUSDM-i.

I think the advantages of Galaxy L6 lie in two aspects:

On the one hand, at the mechanical level, the Galaxy L6 has more advantages. Whether it is a hybrid system with a 3-speed DHT or a chassis system with independent front and rear suspension, the Galaxy L6 is more advanced. After all, Qin PLUSDM-i still uses torsion beam non independent suspension. On the other hand, personally speaking, I think the exterior and interior design of the Galaxy L6 is more trendy than the Qin PLUSDM-i and more in line with the aesthetic needs of young consumers.

However, currently, the pre-sale price of the low-end model of the Galaxy L6 is not attractive enough. If the final launch can surprise consumers in terms of price, it will be a strong competitor to the BYD Qin PLUSDM-i.
