Another good looking car from Geely. Here is the new Geely SL, a compact
sedan that will be launched on the Chinese car market in H2.
The Geely SL will be positioned between the Emgrand
GL and the Borui. Price will start around 100.000 yuan. There will be two
engines available: a 1.0 three-cylinder turbo with 136 hp and a 1.4 turbo four
with 133 hp. Yes, the 1.0 turbo has 3 more horses than the 1.4 turbo.
The latter is a strange choice anyway, especially
since the SX11 SUV, which will costs about the same as the SL, will be
available with the 1.0 turbo and by a 177 hp 1.5 turbo. Dimension size is 4680/1785/1460 mm, and wheelbase is 2670 mm.
Geely seems on the right road when it comes to
design, but they lag behind in infotainment and NEVs. They need to catch up
quick or risk losing market share. But perhaps they are too busy buying other
car companies…
