New Geely Yuanjing X6 SUV
This is the Geely Yuanjing X6 SUV
for China, it will be launched on the car
market next month. It is new and not really new. It is basically a heavily
facelifted Geely GX7, with a new front design that is now in line with the rest
of the Geely lineup.
The 133 hp 1.8 and the 2.0 will be deleted
in the Yuanjing X6. The 139 hp 1.8 will stay. It will get company from a new 1.3
turbo with 133 hp. Still very close. The 1.8 will be mated to a five-speed
manual and the 1.3 turbo to a CVT.
The 1.3 turbo is a rather small engine
for the Yuanjing X6 which is not exactly s small car with 4600/1840/1700 mm, and
wheelbase is 2661 mm. Curb weight yet unknown but the GX7 weighed 1514 kilo. The
1.3 turbo won’t be a speeder.
The basic design of the interior is the
same as in the GX7, but the materials and fit and finish are a bit better, and
the touch screen in a bit bigger. Steering wheel is new, but instrument cluster
didn’t change. Seats and even the perforated pedals are lifted straight from
the GX7.
Although bigger than before still not
very big for today’s Chinese standards. But the graphics look nice.
