Geely Borui GC9
The Geely Borui GC9 will receive a small
facelift, making the big sedan a bit more beautiful still. It is mainly a bumper-lift
with new front and rear bumpers, and it gets new alloys that look very good.
The inner part of the lights changed as well with new lenses in the area
closest to the grille. The LED strips in the bumper have been deleted.
The 2.4 will continue unchanged in the facelifted
car, the 1.8 turbo will get 21 more horses for 183 hp. Whether the V6 will
return is unsure at the moment. If the V6
has indeed been deleted price range for the facelifted car will start around
120.000 and end around 180.000 yuan.
Currently there is only one V6 model available which
costs 229.800 yuan, whereas the most expensive 1.8 turbo costs 176.800 yuan.
That is a big difference and the V6 has been a slow seller. For that money
people can go for a BMW 3Li, a Cadillac ATS-L, or a Volvo S60L.
The facelifted Borui GC9, with or without the V6,
will be launched on the Chinese car market in Q1 2017.
