26 ICON chocolates are available at a great discount starting from 79,800 yuan

Recently I got a news and almost thought I was dazzled: Geely 26 ICON chocolates, the price starts at 79,800 yuan! You read that right, if you can buy an SUV with a design of "produced films" for less than 80,000 yuan? As soon as this price came out, many people's wallets had begun to "bear". In the past, I always thought that Geely ICON was like an "Internet celebrity in the automotive industry" and relied on her appearance to make a living. Now, when I look at the configuration and price, I think this is the rhythm of changing from an Internet celebrity to a "top-top" one!

I went to the store to see the actual car and also tested it. I couldn't sit still when I got back - this car really can't be seen just as a "vase". Is it worth it? Let's talk about it today.

Let’s talk about the appearance first. Once this car comes out, the rate of turning back on the street is absolutely "shaking your head when walking". The square box shape, paired with rounded corners, looks a bit like a "small urban tank" and a bit futuristic. The "return"-shaped grille on the front face, plus the full LED headlight group, is exactly the "light factory" level when it lights up at night. My friend said that when the light is turned on, the lane opposite is dumbfounded. Looking from the side, the two-color body + floating roof is full of trendy elements that young people love. To be honest, can you think of anyone who dares to play design like this at this price? This appearance is definitely a "powerful tool for making a movie". I posted a photo on my circle of friends and likes rose.

When I got into the car, my first feeling was: the interior texture was not like a car that was 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. The center console uses a lot of soft-pack materials, which is not cheap to feel. As soon as the double 10.25-inch large-screen screen is put on, the sense of technology immediately becomes "supported". The car computer is Geely's Galaxy OS system, which has fast response and accurate voice recognition. It says "I'm a little cold", and the air conditioner automatically adjusts the temperature, which is quite considerate. What surprised me the most was that the seats were thick enough to feel wrapped when sitting on them. They ran on the highway for more than two hours without sore waist, which is really rare in their class.

In terms of space, although it is not big (length, width and height 4350/1830/1609mm), it has a high internal utilization rate. I sit in the front row at 1.78 meters, with two fists on my head, and three adults in the back row are not too crowded. The conventional trunk has a capacity of 342L, which is enough for daily grocery shopping and short-distance travel. If you put the rear seats down, you will instantly change to the "bed car" mode and lie down while watching the stars in camp, wouldn't it be nice?

The power system is a 1.5T four-cylinder engine + 7DCT gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 181 horsepower and a 100-kilometer acceleration of 7.9 seconds. This data is quite powerful in a small SUV. During my test drive, I specially got on the elevated stand and stepped on the accelerator. The feeling of pushing the back is coming, and overtaking is straightforward. This is not a grocery shopping cart, it is simply a "driving toy"! Moreover, the fuel consumption is also well controlled. The official fuel consumption is 6.3L per 100 kilometers. I actually drove the urban section about 7.5L, and the fuel economy is excellent among the same-class turbines.

When it comes to driving, the chassis is more comfortable to adjust. When passing speed bumps and potholes, the suspension system filters very cleanly and does not clang. When cornering at high speed, the car body roll is controlled in place, and the dynamic stability control system is naturally involved and full of security. Level 2 assisted driving has also been arranged, adaptive cruise + lane maintenance, which can save a lot of effort on long distances, and it is not tiring to follow the car during traffic jams.

ICON chocolate is not vague about safety. The entire series is equipped with 6 basic configurations such as airbags, ESP, and tire pressure monitoring, and high-end features include active brakes and blind spot monitoring. China Automobile Research C-NCAP five-star safety certification is not a joke, it can really save your life at critical moments.

So does it have any opponents? Of course there is. Let's compare two popular players.

The first is Changan CS35 PLUS, which is also the "national magic car" in small SUVs. The advantages are that they have a large amount of ownership, cheap maintenance, and many power options. But the interior has a strong plastic feel, the car machine reacts slowly, and its appearance is... it is a pleasing look, but it is definitely not the kind of "the first one to use chopsticks on the table". In contrast, the interior and technological sense of ICON chocolate are directly "slapping" the CS35 PLUS in the face.

The second one is BYD Yuan UP, a pure electric car with a starting price of about 80,000. The advantage is that the electricity cost is low and green cards are not restricted to traffic. However, the pure electric range is only over 300 kilometers. If there is no charging pile at home, daily replenishment can be quite annoying. Moreover, the rear space and trunk are smaller than that of ICON. One can run long distances without anxiety, the other can save money on electricity, depending on what you value more.

There is also an old rival - Honda XR-V. Although the price of the new model has reached 130,000 yuan, the second-hand car market has a high value retention rate. But the problem is that the new car will also cost 110,000+ after discount, which is a little more expensive than ICON. You spend 30,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 yuan to buy the brand, but the configuration, interior and technology are not as good as ICON. This wave of joint ventures is "the sky has collapsed", it is really not good.

So you see, the operation of 26 ICON chocolates is simply a precise blow. The price is less than 80,000 yuan, which gives you superior appearance, sufficient power, reliable safety, and L2 assisted driving. This cost-effectiveness can no longer be described as "really fragrant", and it is simply "really top-up"!

Some people used to say that it was a "vase", but now when you look at it, you have learned both inside and outside, and the powerful people have also come. Especially for young people who have just graduated, their first car for small families, or urban users who want to change their personalized SUVs, ICON Chocolate is really hard not to be moved.

Do you think it has shortcomings? Of course there is. For example, the brand's influence is not as good as the joint venture, the fuel consumption is not as good as the hybrid, and the functions of the car are not as good as those of new forces. But you have to know that it only sells for 70,000 to 80,000! With a limited budget, it gives you almost everything you can.

Would you consider buying 26 ICON chocolates like this?

If you have 80,000 yuan in your hand, should you choose it or buy a second-hand joint venture?

Do you love such a car?
