AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/31 Report--

A few days ago, Geely announced that it would launch its first medium-sized SUV in 2020, and the new car has not yet been named. According to the disclosed information, the new car has an internal code name VX11, a wheelbase of 2815mm, and will provide 1.8T and 1.5T powertrains. It can be said that the launch of the new car will fill the gap of Geely in this segment.

The new car uses a lot of strong lines in the model design, and the intake grille is still evolved on the basis of the "ripple" intake grille, with half of the ripple forward grille connected to the headlights on both sides. All LED matrix headlights are installed on both sides.

The side of the body creates a more hard-line style through the high body and the wheel eyebrows of some muscle lines. The length, width and height of the car body are 4835 × 1900 × 1780mm and the wheelbase is 2815mm, which will provide the seating layout of the 2x2 + 2 six-seat version and the 2' 3 + 2 seven-seat version. Very similar to the layout concept of its MPV model Jiaji, it improves its practicability, the rear is relatively clean and hierarchical, and retains the classic "through-the-rear chrome decoration and Geely English LOGO" design.

The interior of VX11 adopts full liquid crystal instrument and suspension central control design, which is also similar to Jiaji, while the air outlet of air conditioner is similar to ICON's infinite "∞". The gear lever uses a small and exquisite electronic lever, which is similar to that of the collar.

The VX11 is equipped with 1.5T and 1.8T engines, and the maximum power is 177Ps and 184Ps respectively.

In recent years, most of the domestic independent models compete in the compact market, and the compact SUV is also the best-selling style relative to consumers. Geely, on the other hand, has not launched models in the medium-sized SUV market, and now the launch of VX11 will give Geely a certain share of this market segment.

In the face of this market, there are also more popular independent models such as Ruihu 8, Chuanqi GS8 and BYD Tang, and of course there are many joint venture SUV models led by Hanlanda, but as independent SUV models, it is difficult to compete with joint venture SUV models.
