  • Super Xun priced at 135,800 yuan after comprehensive subsidies;

Conclusion

Previously, Geely had already launched the Xingyue L Hi·X Thor HEV, which, although possessing the same fuel efficiency, could not meet the demand for pure electric endurance due to its small battery size and therefore was not a PHEV plug-in model, nor could it enjoy preferential policies such as green license plates and exemption from purchase tax.

Now, the Emperor L Thor Hi·X Super Electric Hybrid version solves the major pain points of the Xingyue L Hi·X, with a pure electric endurance of up to 100 km, meeting daily commuting needs. In addition, it can enjoy the green license plate policy, which is particularly advantageous in limit-plate cities. Moreover, it is also eligible for the new energy vehicle preferential policy of exemption from purchase tax, saving a car purchase cost of just 10,000 yuan.Since last year, Chinese brands have been vigorously developing hybrid technology, leading to fierce competition in the market. This outbreak of domestic technology is a great boon for consumers, especially for those who are concerned about the range of pure electric vehicles and also want fuel economy.

It has to be said that BYD Qin Plus DM-i has a powerful competitor.
