Geely does not build many cars like the Geely Haoyue: a 5-door crossover SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2020 in the decade the industry is turning electric.

Where it came from

The Geely Haoyue (Chinese: 吉利豪越) is a mid-size SUV produced by the Chinese automaker Geely. In 2020, the first generation was introduced to the Chinese market and exported as the Geely Okavango in overseas markets. The Haoyue name means 'heroic', while Okavango is named after the Okavango Delta in Botswana. In 2023, the second generation, the Haoyue L, was introduced with a Volvo's Drive-E series 2.0-litre turbo engine and enlarged dimensions.

Under the skin

Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1590-1660 kg. The gearbox is a 7-speed dual-clutch. The wheelbase is 2815 mm / 2805 mm (Proton X90). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Where it sits in Geely's history is not in doubt: the Geely GX9 / Proton Exora (for Proton) came before it; it was built at Baoji, Shaanxi. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Model Y, the Kia EV6, the Porsche Taycan. Nearby in the Geely catalogue sit the Geely GE and the Geely Yuanjing X6.
