There are countless ride-hailing cars on the market, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of models. But if we talk about a car specifically designed for the ride-hailing market, it seems that only the Geely Caocao 60 fits the bill, as it is Geely’s first product deeply customized for the shared travel market. Today, let’s take a closer look at this “customized luxury ride.”
In terms of appearance, the Geely Caocao 60 adopts a simple design style. The fully enclosed grille design can effectively reduce the drag coefficient, allowing the vehicle to have better endurance performance. The lower part of the front bumper uses a maple leaf-shaped grille design, which still looks very youthful and energetic.
The headlight design adopts a crescent moon-shaped blade style, with overall proportions being very coordinated and exuding a powerful look. The headlights use halogen bulbs as the light source, which also reduces future maintenance costs and returns more value to the driver from the vehicle.
The car’s side profile features a sleek design, which not only reduces wind resistance but also maximizes interior space. The Geely Caocao 60 uses a traditional door handle design, which may slightly increase wind resistance but provides greater convenience for passengers getting in and out of the car, while also reducing the probability of malfunctions.
The car will be equipped with 17-inch wheels and low-drag wheel styling, which not only looks beautiful but also increases practicality. It is paired with 215/60 R17 Chaoyang tires, which can effectively increase the comfort and passability of the vehicle, and reduce tire noise.
The design of the rear part of the car is stylish enough, and although only the two sides of the taillights can be lit, they are connected through the middle decorative strip, increasing the sense of layering of the rear of the car and also enhancing the vehicle’s recognition. The design of the rear bumper also adopts a simple style, with the reverse light and rear fog light designed at the bottom of the bumper.
As a model that focuses on the online car-hailing market, the Geely Caocao 60 has a hatchback-style trunk, with a very large opening area. The entire trunk space is also maximized, making it suitable for multiple suitcases and perfect for the online car-hailing environment.
The interior design also reflects a minimalist style, with few embellishments and a focus on practicality. Despite targeting the ride-sharing market, the vehicle is equipped with a full liquid crystal instrument panel and central control screen, enhancing its technological appeal.
The steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and the overall feel is quite good. The right side is equipped with multifunction buttons, such as answering calls and controlling the volume. The liquid crystal instrument panel adopts an embedded design, which looks quite high-end. The displayed information inside is also very comprehensive, and the vehicle’s driving information can be clearly displayed.
The 10.25-inch central control screen also includes many practical functions, including vehicle radio, Bluetooth, driving mode selection, detailed air conditioning settings, etc., all of which can be operated through the screen. In addition, the vehicle system also has a driver-customized end for “Cao Cao Travel”, which allows drivers to directly log in to their personal account and view heat maps, making it easier for drivers to pick up orders.
At the bottom of the screen, a dedicated phone holder is designed, which is very important for many rideshare drivers. It is a customized model, and every detail is well thought out for the drivers. In addition, the air conditioning system also has a dedicated control panel for quick and easy operation.
When it comes to thinking about the driver, the following designs are very practical and useful. The central channel is designed with a gear shift button, which also increases the space inside the car. The control for the front windows is also designed in the middle, which avoids the embarrassment of the driver accidentally touching the window button, and makes it more convenient for passengers to operate.
In addition, the driver’s seat of the car also reflects the humanistic care for the driver. Although it is a manually adjustable seat, it is thoughtfully designed with lumbar support adjustment to relieve the driver’s fatigue. In addition, the driver’s seat also has seat ventilation function, which is a great benefit for the driver. In the summer, shirts will no longer get soaked.
Behind the front passenger seat, there are two charging ports and a cup holder, as well as a seat adjustment handle. If the rear passengers want more space, they can adjust it themselves, avoiding any awkwardness for the driver and ensuring convenience and safety.
In terms of seat comfort, both the front and rear seats are very commendable. The rear space is also very large, with ample leg and headroom, and the flat floor design makes it convenient for rear passengers to move left and right. In summary: The current price of the Geely Caocao 60 is 119,800-139,800 yuan (19550$). This is a model that targets the online car-hailing market, with a range of 415km and support for both charging and 60s fast battery swapping, allowing more time for drivers. So as an online car-hailing driver, are you tempted by this car?
