AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/18 Report--

With the gradual increase in the number of domestic cars, it is difficult to buy passenger cars in most cities where there is a shortage of license plates. However, under the background of the sinking track of the passenger car market and the gradual liberalization of the pickup traffic restriction policy, how to break the pickup market into the mainstream consumer market has become the focus of major manufacturers in recent years. In this regard, Geely brand also launched a "alternative" pickup model.

According to information obtained from the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the car is a new pickup declaration map of Geely Group's commercial vehicle brand. According to the logo, it does not hang the Geely brand trademark, but its 2016 establishment of a new commercial vehicle brand remote. The main business of long-distance vehicles is new energy and clean energy commercial vehicles, but according to the information of the car, it is not a new energy model and is expected to be named "remote FX".

From the appearance of the car, the car and Geely Boyue shape is similar, after all, from the same platform products, the front part of the face, except for the middle grid and logo, the rest of the car is basically the same as the latest Boyue PRO. In the side part, the shape before the C-column is consistent with that of Boyue, and even the C-column retains the shape of Boyue.

The biggest difference is that the rear of the vehicle, Boyue is the standard SUV model, while the remote FX is more like a model with a "butt" added to the Boyue model, the new car adds a large cargo box, and the taillight group is also redesigned to the vertical shape commonly used by pickups. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with the original carton cover.

According to the data, the body size of the new car is 4905x1831x1713mm and the box size is 1125x1230x460mm. In terms of size, the new car is very compact, much smaller than the traditional pickup model, equivalent to the size of a medium-sized car, and the small rear box has created the shortest domestic record, only 1.1 meters, with a rated mass of only 280 kilograms.

Obviously, this car, as the first load-bearing body pickup truck in China, is not designed to carry goods. The so-called "load-bearing body" means that the whole vehicle uses a car-type chassis with no frame and no girder, which is the most similar to the ordinary passenger car at present.

In addition, the configuration of the car is also very high, with Bosch 9.3 version of ESP, far and near light integrated LED headlights, AEB early warning collision safety system, full speed domain ACC intelligent cruise system, millimeter wave radar, intelligent HD 360 °follow-up 3D images, front parking radar and so on.

In power, the car is equipped with a 1.8T gasoline engine code-named JLE-4G18TDC, which is the same power as Geely Boyue, with a maximum power of 135kW, a maximum torque of 300N ·m and a fuel consumption of only 8.5L/100km. As it belongs to the same platform as Geely Boyue, it means that the car is expected to adopt a front McPherson, rear multi-link independent suspension structure.

From Geely's first load-bearing body pickup model, it is not difficult to see that it is more like Geely's policy of lifting the ban in many places in the country, as well as a specific model launched under the spring tide of the multiplication of the pickup market, in the hope of becoming the first crab-eating car company.
