Geely has unveiled their upcoming crossover which is codenamed the KX11. While the company isn’t saying much besides “stay tuned,” the KX11 features a prominent grille which is flanked by sweptback headlights. The latter appear to have integrated LED daytime running lights and turn signals. Moving further back, we can see minimalist cladding and a pronounced shoulder line which wraps around the vehicle. Designers also gave the crossover streamlined bodywork, an expansive greenhouse and a gently sloping roof.
Continuing to the rear, there’s a
ventilated bumper with stylish chrome trim. The crossover also has slender
taillights, an angular rear window and a liftgate-mounted spoiler. Geely is
staying tight-lipped, but the company has previously confirmed the model will
ride on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) which underpins the Polestar 2,
Volvo XC40 and an assortment of other vehicles from Geely and Lynk & Co.
The model is slated to go into production
in the third quarter and will reportedly be offered with a turbocharged
2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces up to 235 hp and 350 Nm of torque. There could also be a plug-in hybrid variant – with a
turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor – that has a
combined output of 255 hp and 415 Nm of torque.
While nothing is official, the model could
be detailed at the Shanghai Auto Show in April.
