In the automotive market, there are many examples of “the concept of Lin Chi-ling, production Luo Yufeng,” the.
concept car, after all, be able to give designers more general play space, and in order to attract consumers, but also need more bells and whistles design.
but the production car, after all, to consider the cost and other factors, so most of the gap with a certain degree of concept car designs.
However, to say that “the concept of Lin Chi-ling production” model is not without.
For example, the 2011 production of the Land Rover Range Rover Aurora, basically continued the LRX concept car design, excellent color value cast its status was a “price spree” of.
but that is a luxury brand, the relatively high profits can separate the additional costs on the design.
In contrast, Geely upcoming icon is more valuable, and its height is restored CONCEPT ICON concept car design, but only at the price of more than ten million.
then this “mass production of Lin Chi-ling,” what is it worth seeing?
▎ of no less than amazing aurora, actually represents the auspicious design direction for the next 10 years?
on the 2018 Beijing Auto Show, CONCEPT ICON concept car debut, rather industrial style design is very eye-catching, Range Rover Aurora distance, quite a bit of flavor, but It did not give the feeling of the cottage.
due to the design too far ahead, most people speculate that perhaps represent the auspicious future design work toward,But then who knows less than two years, Geely will be the concept car into reality.
It is understood that, to restore the icon concept CONCEPT 90 percent ICON board design elements, such as the “back” by a plurality of words are sequentially stacked grille ” squint “split headlights, hidden door handles, rear wiper concealed, high to low body posture like ……

in the family design prevalence of the moment, a lot of car prices are difficult to make a breakthrough on the basis of the original design, even the relatively high profit luxury brand is also true, also created a “no BMW, Mercedes-free after Wagner after Bangor” this joke.
but in icon design point of view, subvert the considered lucky this time, the vehicle did not see any shadow of a previously Geely models.
and after Lakaijumen can find icon of “lining” is completely public different.
hit color interior color become quite fashion, the liquid crystal instrument panel in the control panel and eliminating the conventional mask, using a “complete suspension” design, but also outlet, Dangba area and door handles at the air conditioning joined the “time symbol” design elements, off-road in front of the front passenger handrail in turn adds a little hardcore breath.
from the inside to the outside, we see auspicious design a lot of effort and down in this era of attention to the value of the Yen, Geely blazed a path of their own design.
However, say “good-looking skins stereotyped, funny soul better than one”, although the icon of the bladder is unique, but if there is no “meaning”, will eventually giving the impression that “vase” like existence.
So in addition to the color value, Geely icon what Aspect it?
▎icon of relying only color worth it?
icon-based Geely and Volvo jointly developed by BMA platform to build, positioning the compact class SUV.
but with another compact SUV Bo auspicious compared to the PRO, icon One size slightly smaller, closer to the small SUV platform with the more helter-skelter.
According Galactic Limited view, icon will be priced higher than the Bean , but the magnitude will not be great.
after all, limited edition Galaxy uses a more helter-skelter 7.9s and top with the same 1.5T + 48V powertrain, one hundred kilometers acceleration time is also similar.
and a standard 360-degree panoramic image, heated front seats, front keyless entry, full adaptive cruise, panorama sunroof configuration, is substantially equivalent top with standards.
Therefore, the subsequent launch of the model most likely will be substantially down barriers, starting at or less than 10 million.
just needs to be noted that, icon limited edition Galaxy uses a three-cylinder engine 1.5T + 48V portfolio, presumably follow-up model can not escape the “fate of the three-cylinder” .
Although the three-cylinder engine has been quite lucky good control on jitter and noise performance of the hybrid system was added 48V cylinder almost the same, but the “three tank “is always a formidable minds of consumers,” Hum. ”
However, according to orders icon, it seems that still affect the color value is more important than others.
at the Guangzhou Auto Show, starting 2020 limited edition Galaxy icon will be sold out in 15 minutes, while the upcoming February 14 listing of the other version of the model, We have now received more than 20,000 orders.
car poly Summary
[123 ] Not long ago, Geely announced the 2019 sales figures of last year, total sales of 1,361,600, exceeding the annual target of 1.36 million, for three consecutive years and own brand sales crown.
However, Notes, Geely 2018 sales of 1.5 million, 19-year sales there have been 9.2 percent decline in the automobile market downturn affecting many of them, but for Prior to Geely rising year by year, there should be some sense of crisis.
Geely chose this time to introduce icon design with a subversive sense, perhaps in time to change, measures to boost sales.
And should the “production Lin Chi-ling” smooth as explosion models, so in the near future, I believe will see more such as icon-like rich futuristic Geely car.
