And I must say that the car really turned out to be very high quality. Especially when you consider the fact that some resources from Volvo were used in the manufacture.
The model of the new fastback Geely Emgrand GT, also known as the GC9, was developed with the participation of former Volvo designer Peter Horbury. The appearance of the novelty turned out to be quite solid. The radiator grille and head optics stand out in particular. At the rear stand out taillights in a simple style and rectangular tailpipes of the exhaust system. By installing additional tuning elements , the Geely model will become even more attractive.
The interior of Geely GC9 looks concise. The quality of finishing materials is at a very high level, as is the assembly itself. There is soft plastic trim, and leather seats are very comfortable and have a lot of adjustments. It is worth noting the automatic transmission selector and the “washer” for controlling the multimedia installation, they are clearly made in the style of BMW. There is plenty of space in the cabin, even a tall driver can comfortably accommodate while not cramping the rear passengers. The only thing that upsets is the narrow opening of the luggage compartment. It greatly complicates access inside.
The internal "stuffing" Geely GC9 is filled with various electronic assistants. This includes a blind spot monitoring system, a parking assistant, adaptive cruise control, an 8-inch touch screen, an emergency braking system, all-round surveillance cameras and much more. You can also note good sound insulation, which copes even at high speeds.
The overall dimensions of the fastback are 4,956 mm long, 1,861 mm wide and 1,513 mm high. In the engine compartment of the novelty, an engine with a volume of 1.8 or 2.4 liters can be located. The first due to turbocharging has a capacity of 163 horsepower, and the second 162 hp. With. In addition, there is a V-shaped six with a volume of 3.5 liters and a capacity of 275 hp. With. All configurations are equipped exclusively with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The minimum cost of Geely GC9 in the Chinese market is approximately 20-30 thousand dollars.
