Editor’s Comment
Different from mainstream PHEV plug-in hybrid models, the Xingyue L i-HEV requires no external charging and brings much greater daily convenience.Compared with Japanese hybrid vehicles, it boasts stronger power and better adaptability to complex road conditions, perfectly balancing performance and fuel economy for self-charging hybrids.Combined with Xingyue L’s inherent advantages in intelligence, comfort and interior space, its overall market competitiveness has been further enhanced.Besides the newly launched Xingyue L i-HEV and Xingrui i-HEV, best-selling models including Boyue L and Emgrand will adopt the i-HEV hybrid system this year. Geely Star Series will fully popularize the i-HEV intelligent hybrid powertrain across its entire lineup in the future.
