Following the entry of the Geely Coolray
into the Philippines market last September, the Geely Boyue Pro is set to enter
the country as the Geely Azkarra, according to Auto Industriya. The model name
for the Philippines market has also been used by Geely for the Kuwait market,
and the Philippines-bound Azkarra will feature a 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol
engine with a mild-hybrid system.
This will be paired to a seven-speed
dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive, while inside it it gain
a 12.3-inch infotainment system, wireless mobile device charging and more.
For comparison, the Boyue Pro for China is
powered by a 1.8 litre turbocharged, direct-injection inline-four petrol engine
producing 181 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired to a seven-speed wet dual-clutch
gearbox.
A smaller 1.5 litre turbo petrol is also available for the
China-market Boyue Pro, and this produces 174 hp and 255 Nm of torque, driving
the wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
Auto Industriya had previously reported
that Geely aims for the Azkarra to go on sale in top trim with the 1.5 litre
three-cylinder engine at PHP 1.6 million, however there could also
be a lower trim level version priced below that, one equipped with a six-speed
automatic instead of the DCT. More details for the Philippines-market crossover
should be revealed soon, according to the report.
