Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Geely is likely to launch an upgrade of the Emgrand GS in April. As a crossover SUV, the new model will retain Geely's family design style in its interior, featuring simple and stylish overall layout with several details optimized and upgraded, according to the official interior photos of the new model from Geely. The new model will offer a 1.4T turbocharged engine or a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine.

In terms of the exterior, the new model adopts Geely's iconic design style with a red-colored body, a ripple-designed intake grille and eagle-eye head lights, delivering a sportier sense. With a redesigned front bumper, the black horizontal-spoke intake grille was widened visually.
