Geely Icon

Many people complain that electric vehicles aren't as mature as their internal combustion rivals there's one thing that electric cars have going for them it's the forward looking exterior styling that they used to differentiate themselves from traditional petrol powered cars only there was a car that offered that cool let your car styling over top of traditional ice power train that's exactly what this Geely icon aims to do closely based on the concept car the same day it was revealed at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show icon cribs some of the distinct styling cues of electric vehicles for starters there's the front grille or rather the seeming lack of a front grille electric vehicles indulging this styling cue because they lacked the heat of an internal combustion engine the front end and so can forego the large frontal area and aerodynamic drag created by a traditional air intake. As for the actual design language of the icon the whole aesthetic is dominated by 2 main shapes rectangles and what Geely called infinity loops the rectangular motif is apparent up front where the icon features the latest version of the Geely icon signature expanding because most design language thank real now spends the entire with the different facial point by vertically stacked headlights they contain the above mentioned infinity. The side profile is just as black as the front above the main headlight units you'll find slim upper headlights that flowed neatly into an accent line the traces the prominent truck like wheel arch over the front tire the rear tires sees similar treatment. I'll back you have a continuation of the rectangular design from the front end treatment including the concentric expanding because most designed around the rear license plate recess as well as rectangular taillights and 3 rectangles in the rear bumper the interior of the icon has just as much personality as the exterior however it does share a lot of details with the latest you the how you a sedan including the infinity loops here in the event this handle here on the - and the area around the shifter yes I like the styling here and I suspect we'll be seeing more of these design elements in future Geely models the interior of the icon takes a lot of risks in terms of styling but I think they managed to pull it all together sadly those risks do not include the suicide doors 2018 concept interior remains quite similar. Minimalism reigns with plenty of space made for natural light during the entire package of more than one might expect from traditional cheap transportation. The innovative design the center screen instrument cluster which appear to be draped over the dashboard instead of blue to further add to the ambiance of science and technology. One small detail that seems worth mentioning the cabin filters on the icon or certified and 95 it seems like a good thing these days for obvious reasons. Okay I think we spent enough time talking about the styling let's set the road as promised the need the icon's electric car styling there beats the heart of an internal combustion vehicle in this case it's a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine that the high country ears with many other Geely models and even a few of us. This little 3 Bangor puts out 177 horsepower and 255 metres of torque through a 7 speed dual clutch transmission acceleration is adequate with a 0 to 60 in the high 7 second range in addition to sharing engines with other Geely models the icon also shares platforms in this case it's the Geely B. segment modular architecture. The Geely uses the same platform even comes in around the same price that wraps it all in a much more traditional small SUV package I for 1:00 am genuinely curious to see which one sells better. There are actually 2 versions of the icon differentiated by the letters B. S. G.. The ones with B. S. G. and a 48 volt electrical system an electric motor to the power train. The BSG model costs about 400 more than the 9 BST model but I assure you that it is worth every penny. The BSE model has better acceleration and fuel economy I've driven about 80 kilometers and the car is telling me it's averaging 5 to 6 liters per 100 columnar which I consider really low. Of course fuel economy depends on the road conditions in your driving habits this is just for reference. The acceleration feels plenty quick BST models have a 0 to 100 kilometer per hour time of 7.9 seconds while at 9 BST models take more than 8 seconds steering and braking all feel quite good it's easy to drive without feeling cheap. The card does jump a bit over potholes and speed bumps but it feels comfortable for car at this price point hello you ever heard of 360 degree protection Larry I can has you covered 540 degrees that's because in addition to the 360 degree camera you've come to expect in most new cars the icon adds 180 degree chassis camera
