In the era of fuel vehicles, when it comes to high-quality A0-class small cars, Honda Fit has become a classic in the hearts of the post-80s and post-90s generations with its exquisite design and excellent space performance. Today, with the advancement of new energy technology, pure electric small cars have become the new favorite in urban life with their practical cruising range, excellent space performance, and intelligent cockpit experience.
Geely Xingyuan is designed to set a new benchmark for pure electric A0-class cars. Although it is positioned as A0-class, the interior passenger space and storage space are comparable to fuel-powered B-class cars. It has not lost the intelligent configuration that consumers value more because of its small size. Flyme Auto not only brings more convenience but also more fun. It is undeniable that there are many competing models in this class, such as BYD Dolphin, Wuling Bingo PLUS, etc., so can Geely Xingyuan become a new benchmark for A0-class pure electric cars? Let's take a look.Cute pet look
The appearance of Geely Xingyuan has a sense of cuteness, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight. In the fast-paced urban life, it shows a calm attitude. It is not ostentatious and has its own style, just like a smile in the city, which makes people feel a little warm and peaceful after being busy. There are 7 kinds of ice cream colors: vanilla rice, basil green, ice berry pink, milk cap white, mousse silver, truffle gray, and sea salt blue. The one photographed this time is vanilla rice.
Therefore, its design inspiration comes from "smile". The U-shaped front hood line, the closed grille that also maintains the "smile", and even has "dimples" on both sides. The entire front face gives people a strong affinity, and there are no unnecessary complicated lines, and the overall feeling is also excellent.
The headlight shape is inspired by feathers, and the semi-circular LED daytime running lights outline the outline of the headlights. The LED headlights can be manually set in the car computer to adjust the illumination height, which is quite practical. The internal details of the headlight group use circuit board-style printing, which represents the meaning of technology and electrification.
The lines on the side of the car are also quite graceful. The design technique of shifting the center of gravity backward makes it more dynamic in its cuteness, and the hidden C-pillar brings a stronger floating roof style. The length, width and height of the Geely Xingyuan are 4135×1805×1570mm, and the wheelbase is 2650mm. The body length of 4.1 meters is just right for a small car. It does not look too big and can ensure sufficient space inside the car. In addition, the design of four wheels and four corners also fully expands the longitudinal space inside the car.
The shape of the 16-inch wheel hub is inspired by the four-leaf clover, and it adopts a two-tone style, which looks symmetrical overall. The tire specification is 205/60 R16, and the lower aspect ratio brings better comfort. The brand is the Master series of China Linglong's high-end products. The characteristics of COMFORT MASTER are quieter, lower rolling resistance, and more energy-saving. In addition, compared with the commonly used 185 or 195 wide tires of the same level, the 205 wide tires have better grip.
The rear design of Geely Xingyuan is also full and rounded, and the shape of the taillights is similar to the headlights, with a unified style at the front and back. It is worth mentioning that the LED taillights made of light guide tape are very eye-catching but not dazzling.
It is worth mentioning that Geely also created a "beautiful shoulder" for the body of Xingyuan. The convex wide-body creates a more dynamic and lower visual effect. Generally, this design technique is more common in luxury brand small cars such as MINI. It can be seen that Geely Xingyuan has put a lot of thought into polishing the appearance details.

The interior design of Geely Xingyuan is stylish and simple, with an embracing design language and two colors: Sky Mirror White and Wonderland Green. The white interior is matched with matte silver trim, which not only looks stylish but also more advanced. The oval shape of the center console and the oval shape of the door handles are inspired by pebbles, which are warm and natural.
The co-pilot center console and door interior panels use luminous city patterns, which also reveal its definition as an urban car. The luminous panel also serves as the interior atmosphere light, with 256 adjustable colors.
Geely Xingyuan has a 14.6-inch central control high-definition screen + 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel, which displays clear and rich content. Of course, Geely's Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit system is also indispensable. It supports continuous dialogue car control, and the whole scene can be seen and spoken. Touch control is as simple as controlling an iPad.
The gear lever of Geely Xingyuan is very delicate, and the actual operation is very convenient and smooth. It also retains the physical buttons for commonly used functions, which is more convenient.

Interestingly, Geely Xingyuan also has an AI external audio system that can play interactive voice messages such as "give way to pedestrians", "reminder to let me pass", and "thank you for giving way" with one click. When you encounter a pedestrian giving way, you can let the car say "please pass first" with one click, which is quite heartwarming.

The front and rear seats of Geely Xingyuan are both large sofa-style, with soft and comfortable cushions and backrests. The seats do not have a strong sense of wrapping on both sides, which is more friendly to fat people. It is worth mentioning that the back seat backrest has an angle of 117°, which is larger than many B-class cars, and you can lie comfortably in the back seat.

In general, although Geely Xingyuan is positioned as an A0-class car, its space is not small, with an 85% "room ratio", and its rear legroom even exceeds that of many B-class cars. This is also due to its four-wheel and four-corner design, which makes space utilization more efficient. In terms of details, the 4cm ultra-low threshold and the large opening door frame design of 0.81㎡ in the front and 0.71㎡ in the rear greatly improve the comfort and convenience of getting on and off the car.

Geely Xingyuan uses a rear-mounted single motor, so there is room to build a front trunk, and the 70L volume is very impressive compared to cars of the same level or even larger levels. In addition, due to the use of central air conditioning technology, the compressor is also moved forward by 20mm, leaving ample foot space and storage space on the passenger side, and even a 10L drawer-style glove box is designed to place more items in a regular manner. This design detail and innovation deserves praise.

Finally, let’s talk about the chassis. Geely Xingyuan adopts front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. Compared with the rear torsion beam suspension used in other models of the same level, it can greatly improve driving comfort, which is rare in A0-class models.
In terms of three electrics, Geely Xingyuan adopts Geely's 11-in-1 electric drive, a single rear motor, a low-power version with a motor power of 58KW, and a high-power version with a motor power of 85KW. It is equipped with Ningde Times lithium iron phosphate batteries and CTP module-free battery packs. The CLTC range is 310km and 410km. The former only takes about 22 minutes to fast charge 30%-80% SOC, and the latter takes about 24 minutes. In addition, it also supports a maximum external discharge of 3.3KW, which is more convenient when camping.
