AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/10 Report--

With the continuous loosening of pickup policy, pickup has become one of the choices for consumers to buy cars. Geely, as the largest seller of its own brand, also ushered in its first pickup truck model, but it is worth noting that its first pickup truck company is derived from the SUV model. The new car went on sale today at a price of 119900 yuan and 129900 yuan respectively.

Judging from the appearance of the model, it may look familiar. Because the car is not a pickup truck in the traditional sense, but the product of remote FX and Jilibo on the same platform, and the chassis structure is a load-bearing body. It can even be said that it is a pick-up truck commercial vehicle "transformed" from Boyue passenger car. In this regard, it has also been complained by some netizens that the "four are not alike".

The appearance details of the remote FX pickup are very similar to Geely Boyue PRO, but the front face uses a shield-shaped waterfall grille design, which is different from Geely Boyue's "back" font, which makes people feel more regular, while the front bumper is the same as Geely Boyue PRO. In addition, the car logo remote FX has also replaced the "remote" exclusive car logo.

To a certain extent, it can be said that a warehouse was added directly to the rear of Geely Boyue PRO, so that the length, width and height of the new car also changed to 4905/1831/1713mm, wheelbase 2670mm, in which the size of the cart was 1125/1230/460mm.

There is no doubt about the interior design of the remote FX, which is basically the same as the Boyue PRO except that the logo of the remote car has been changed on the steering wheel. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with 12.3-inch central control screen and 7-inch LCD meter, panoramic skylight, keyless entry, one-button start, urban pre-collision safety system and other functions.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 1.8T engine with a maximum power of 184 horsepower. In terms of transmission system, the new car is the first domestic brand model with a 7-speed wet double clutch gearbox, and it is also the first load-bearing body + double clutch pickup model in Chinese brands.

It is worth mentioning that compared with ordinary pickup models, Geely remote FX is different in that it does not use non-load-bearing body design, that is to say, Geely remote FX is a pick-up truck without girder design, but also tends to urban pickup models.

In fact, pickup models in the domestic market positioning is relatively awkward, does not have the absolute advantage like the North American market, has a higher SUV chassis in the domestic market, coupled with sufficient backup space has basically met the needs of most domestic consumers, coupled with the SUV model design is more in line with the family aesthetic than pickup models, after all, pickup models in the domestic market is more like a "tool car" positioning.

However, the emergence of remote FX is more due to the pickup policy in recent years. After all, most of the urban areas with purchase restrictions have not formally lifted the ban on pickups, but the scope of use of pickup vehicles has been further relaxed, making more consumers choose pickup models. Geely chose to launch city pickup models, or will launch market competition in this field.
