Who is more likely to be the Chinese coupe disruptor, Geely Starry or Pentium B70?

In China, the product standard of the sedan has long been defined by the joint venture brand. After all, people's technology is excellent, the product is durable, and captures the pain point of the consumer figure saving. So in terms of configuration, space and so on is "I don't want you to feel, I just want me to feel". During these years, the independent brand has not less to the joint venture brand sedan to launch the challenge, but the success of almost nothing. This year's Beijing Auto Show, and emerged two "warriors", one of them is Geely Starry, another is the new Pentium B70. Today I'm comparing the two cars to see who has a stronger product and a better chance of taking back control of the standard Chinese sedan.

The Geely Starlet and the new Pentium B70 are in different classes, but that doesn't stop them from being compared together. Because the Geely Starry is an A+ class car and the new Pentium B70 is a B- class car, there won't be much difference in body dimensions between the two cars.

From the size comparison, the Geely Starlet has a slight advantage in width and height, while the new Pentium B70 is longer, but their wheelbases are identical, so the ride space performance is basically at the same level.

Next, we'll look at the exterior design of the two cars. Let's start with the Geely Starlet. The car's front design is traditional, the grille and the front surround do not "invade" each other. The headlamps don't try to get into the grille's "arms" either.

The design of the side of the car is also traditional, with a clear division between the front, cockpit and rear. At the same time, the waistline holds fast to its own bottom line and is not easily "bent". The tail is full and rounded, very consistent with the aesthetic of straight men.

Looking at the new Pentium B70, the car's grille and Geely Starry are exactly the opposite of each other, with the headlights and the front surround all to themselves. The headlamps are also very unique, commonly called "tear-eye" headlamps, but I prefer to call them "drooling" headlamps.

From the side, the new Pentium B70 doesn't have a distinct waistline, and the door handles have a hidden design, which, along with the large back, makes for a very futuristic and smooth design. Tail, tail lamps are also used in the mouth shape, and headlights echo at the same time, but also further enhance the personality of the car.

The two cars have different design focuses, so it's hard to say who has a higher face value. Geely Starry emphasizes the dignified atmosphere, and the new Pentium B70 emphasizes the personality of the avant-garde. The former is suitable for married people, while the latter is suitable for unmarried people.

Interior, both cars coincidentally adopted the design concept of simple + rich technology configuration. However, the new Pentium B70 has two "treasures" that make it more attractive to young people than the Geely Starry. One is holographic projection, the other is touch control air conditioning panel.

As a family sedan, safety is a very important indicator. Geely Starry side, in addition to being equipped with a variety of active and passive safety features, but also the health of the occupants are also included in the scope of vehicle safety. Comprehensively equipped with environmentally friendly VOC grade interior materials, AQS air quality management system, negative ion air purification system, etc., to create a set of ecological safety protection system.

The new Pentium B70 also has its own "masterpiece", adopting the "double E" circular body structure, which can be called the anti-collision "golden bell". At the same time, also has a very complete active and passive safety configuration.

Nowadays, intelligent cars have become the rigid demand of mass consumers. In this regard, Geely Starry and the new Pentium B70 are both based on advanced architecture, with OTA upgrade capability, can be in the life cycle of the product to bring users new features and experience.

In terms of power, the Geely Starlet is equipped with a 2.0T engine from Volvo's Drive-E series, a power level that is absolutely the ceiling in existing coupes. In addition to this, a 1.5T engine is also available, which also has Volvo's participation in the development of the engine. The new Pentium B70 is equipped with a self-developed 1.5T engine, which uses a lot of advanced technology and achieves a thermal efficiency of 39.06%

Leaving aside the subjective factor of appearance, Geely Starry and the new Pentium B70 are almost even in terms of configuration, safety, intelligence and evolvability. However, in terms of power, Geely Starry because of the help of Volvo, its power system is not only advanced and reliable. The powertrain of the new Pentium B70 has no shortcomings in terms of technology, but reliability is not well established.

The key to success for JV brand sedans is to have excellent three major components, so Geely Xingrui, which has Volvo as its technical backing, is more likely to succeed in challenging them. However, the new Pentium B70, with its strength in, is definitely in the first tier of the independent brand coupe.
