Geely
is offering a preview of the new model’s interior. Described as Geely Auto’s
most opulent car so far, the Preface flagship looks modern inside thanks to a
stylish dashboard design, high-grade materials including leather, and the
latest tech available.
The dash is dominated by a 12.3-inch
central display powered by Geely’s GKUI Smart EcoSystem infotainment system and
a wide digital instrument panel with configurable graphics. Also visible in the
photos are the jet throttle-inspired shifter and climate control switches
located under the central air vents. The air conditioning system is said to
provide both air filtration function and air fragrance.
Other features mentioned by Geely include
the BOSE high-performance speaker system and the high-grade leather seats. The
automaker also promises “leading levels of connectivity, intelligence, and
quality that include safety as a standard.”
The Geely Preface is based on the Common
Modular Architecture (CMA) that’s also used by the Geely Xing Yue crossover
coupe and many other Volvo and Lynk & Co vehicles. The carmaker says it
will announce the Preface’s engine lineup later on, but according to Chinese
media the sedan will feature a 2.0-liter turbo-four gasoline engine rated at
190 PS and 300 Nm of torque.
Built at the Hangzhou Bay plant, the Geely
Preface will launch in China in the fourth quarter of this year. Later on, the
flagship sedan will become available in other markets around the world.
