Geely has launched an MPV concept on the Shanghai Auto Show in China. It is called the
‘MPV Concept’. The MPV
Concept previews an upcoming Geely MPV, which might as well be called ‘Geely
MPV’.
The vehicle sure looks stylish with a sharply raked
windshield, a pronounced crease on the side, a shoulder lines that goes over
the rear lights, and a ‘floating roof’ D-pillar.
The company has not disclosed a single specification
for the Concept MPV. It seems about 4.8 meters long. There are suicide doors
and very large wheels.
The production car is expected to arrive in 2018 or
2019. Price will range from around 120.000 to 160.000 yuan. Most likely engines
are the 133 hp 1.8 and the 163 hp 1.8 turbo, and perhaps a hybrid.
The drive selector buttons are located on a glass
‘handle’ sticking out of the center tunnel, which is covered with a smooth dark
wood panel. Touch screen stands on top of the stack, it seems to be a
12-incher. Instrument panel is digital. Geely says the concept has six seats in a 2/2/2 setup, so bench in the
back is apparently too small for three.
The rear end is clean with the third brake light
mounted high atop the window.
