Izinkundla zezimoto azikaze zibe nezimo njengoba zinjalo namuhla. Inkundla efanayo isiza umndeni omncane kanye neSUV enkulu ehlala abantu abayisikhombisa, futhi imumatha izinjini ezivuthayo kanye nenjini kagesi nebhethri layo elikhulu. Okusha I-Geely Preface ngesinye isibonelo salokhu kuvumelana nezimo.
Ngaphansi kwemigqa yayo emihle - yaseYurophu impela, noma ngabe ayizange iklanywe ithimba likaPeter Horbury, umklami wangaphambili we-Volvo, umbhali we-S80 yokuqala, phakathi kwabanye - sithola iplathifomu ye-CMA (Compact Modular Architecture), efanayo IVolvo XC40 ikhishwe okokuqala ngo-2017.
Inkundla eyakhiwe ngokuhlanganyela ngabakwaVolvo kanye nabakwaGeely (ngaphezu kohlobo, iGeely futhi ingumnikazi wamanje weVolvo) nokuthi kusukela ku-XC40, isivele inikeze inqwaba yamamodeli avela kwezinye izinhlobo zeqembu lamaShayina.
Ngokungeziwe ku-Swedish SUV, isebenzisa zonke izinhlobo ze-Lynk & Co (amamodeli 01, 02, 03 kanye no-05) - uhlobo lwaseShayina oludalwe ngo-2016 olubekwe phakathi kwe-Geely neVolvo —, i-Polestar 2 ne-Geely Xingyue.
Iningi lalezi zinhlobo yi-crossover/SUV, ngaphandle kwe-Lynk & Co 03 ne-Polestar 2, womabili ama-sedans. Endabeni yePolestar, ngaphezu kokuba iyona yodwa esebenza ngogesi, ingabuye ibhekwe njenge-crossover, uma kubhekwa izinhlobo zofuzo zeSUV ezibonakala ekwakhiweni kwayo, kugcizelelwe ekwenyukeni kwemvume yomhlabathi.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Kusukela yaqala ukuvela kuVolvo XC40 ngo-2017, Sekukhiqizwe izimoto ezingaphezu kuka-600,000 ngokusekelwe ku-CMA futhi ngokuqinisekile ngeke kuthathe iminyaka eminingi kangako ukuphinda kabili lelo nani—inani lamamodeli atholakala kulo lisalokhu likhula.
I-Geely Preface
Futhi amamodeli akamuva asuselwa ku-CMA i-Geely Preface manje eyembuliwe, elindelwe ngonyaka odlule ngomqondo wegama elifanayo. Kungokwesibili imodeli yakwaGeely ukuhlomula kwi-CMA futhi iyisedan eyenzelwe ukukala imakethe yasekhaya, amaShayina. Nakuba ama-sedan nawo esengozini yokuthuthuka kwamaSUV - ikakhulukazi e-US naseYurophu - eChina asajabulela ukwamukelwa kakhulu.
Isekelwe ku-Compact Modular Architecture, kodwa i-saloon yaseShayina ayihlangene kangako. Empeleni inkulu kancane kuneVolvo S60 kuzo zonke izinhlangothi, esekelwe ku-SPA enkulu (i-Scalable Product Architecture), esekela ububanzi bomkhiqizo wase-Swedish obungu-60 no-90.
Ingu-4.785 m ubude, 1.869 m ububanzi kanye 1.469 m ukuphakama (ngokulandelanayo 4.761 m, 1.85 m kanye 1.431 m 1.431 m for the S60) futhi kuphela wheelbase ingaphansi kwalelo Saloon Swedish: 2.80 m ngokumelene 2.872 m.
Noma kunjalo, kulindelekile ukuthi izabelo zangaphakathi zizophana kakhulu ku-Preface kunaku-S60, ikakhulukazi esikhathini esidlule, uma kucatshangelwa umusa wemakethe yaseShayina ngalesi sici - kwanele ukusho isibalo esikhulu semithombo yethu- amamodeli aziwayo athengiswa ngezinhlobonhlobo ezinwetshiwe emakethe yesiShayina.
Azikho izithombe zangaphakathi kodwa uma isifika emakethe izokwenza lokho ngenjini kaphethiloli enamandla angu-2.0 litre, turbocharger ne-190 hp ne-300 Nm - okungenani, okwamanje.
Akulindelekile ukuthi idayiswe kwezinye izimakethe ngaphandle kwaseChina.
