Inside the cabin, the vehicle retains the interior layout of the current generation, paired with an elegant Tianshan White upholstery, 256-color ambient lighting and premium leather wrapping. It comes with a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch central touch screen, running the Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit system powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. HiCar, CarLink and Flyme Link interconnection systems are fully supported.
For comfort features, the vehicle is equipped with an in-car fragrance system, a 16-speaker premium audio system including headrest speakers, ventilated and heated front seats, as well as 50W high-power wireless charging on the center console.
Built on the GEEA 3.0 intelligent electronic and electrical architecture, the Xingrui i-HEV integrates the Xingrui AI Cloud Power 2.0 large model. It upgrades from distributed domain control to a central super brain, supporting gigabit-speed data transmission and rapid FOTA wireless upgrades, allowing continuous optimization of vehicle performance and intelligent experience.
In intelligent driving assistance, it adopts the Qianli Haohan H3 driving assistance solution with 128TOPS chip computing power. HNOA high-speed navigation assists automatic ramp entry and exit, proactive hazard avoidance, and intelligent automatic parking supporting multiple parking space types with one-touch precise parking.
Powertrain-wise, the Geely i-HEV hybrid system combines high-power electric drive, high-rate battery and high-efficiency engine. Featuring Xingrui AI Cloud Power 2.0 for the first time, it intelligently perceives external temperature, humidity and altitude in real time to optimize oil-electric energy distribution, improving overall energy efficiency by over 10%.It runs in pure electric mode in congested traffic, switches between series and parallel drive in urban conditions, uses direct engine drive on highways, and engages combined engine + P3 motor parallel drive during rapid acceleration.
Powered by a 1.5L engine and an integrated 11-in-1 high-power hybrid dedicated motor, the system delivers a maximum output of 230kW. It accelerates from 0 to 30km/h in merely 1.84 seconds, 18% faster than conventional hybrids, with power response as fast as 10 milliseconds. Paired with a 3-speed DHT transmission, it supports pure electric driving up to 66km/h, 20% higher than ordinary hybrid models. Engine startup NVH value is only 1dB higher than pure electric driving. Its official WLTC fuel consumption is as low as 3.98L per 100km, greatly cutting daily commuting costs.
Editor’s Comment
Compared with BYD PHEV models, the Xingrui i-HEV boasts the advantage of no plug-in charging, bringing greater convenience to daily use. It boasts outstanding overall product strength, with configurations on par with the Geely Xingyue L i-HEV. The two models deliver similar comprehensive performance and hold strong competitiveness in the segment. Moving forward, Geely Star Series will fully adopt the i-HEV intelligent hybrid powertrain across its entire lineup.
