Geely enlarges SUV lineup with Haoyue

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Geely Automobile unveiled on April 28 its all-new mid-sized SUV “Haoyue”, which is set to be offered with 5-seater and 7-seater layouts.

At the front, the “Haoyue” still adopts Geely's signature design language of “expanding cosmos“, while the new black badge adds volume to the vehicle's distinction. The U-shaped grille is seamlessly flanked by polygonal headlights, which creates a multi-layered perception and underlines the front's width.

In terms of the side profile, the vehicle looks quite sporty and masculine thanks to the high center of gravity and the muscle lines at bulging wheel arches. The straight and flat roof implies a spacious headroom for passengers.

The new vehicle measures 4,835mm long, 1,900mm wide and 1,780mm high, and has a wheelbase that spans 2,815 units, which fit its position as a mid-sized SUV.

In the cockpit, an occupant will find a center console whose resemblance to that of the ICON SUV is apparent. The usage of a massive floating display at the center console, a liquid crystal dashboard display and an electronic gear selector appeals to tech-savvy consumers. The air-conditioning vent is shaped like an infinity loop (∞), which is scattered around in the ICON.

The information registered in the MIIT reveals that the “Haoyue” will offer two types of engines—the 1.8T engine is good for 184hp and the 1.5T can produce up to 177hp.

After hitting the market, it will take on such Chinese indigenous brands as the Trumpchi GS8 and the BYD Tang (Geely Haoyue, photo source: Geely Auto).
