The Geely KingKong is a 4-door saloon / 5-door hatchback from Geely, built from 2006 to 2020, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 1.5L 4G15 I4.
The hardware
Power comes from 1.5L 4G15 I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 5-speed manual / 4-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2502 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Geely CK; assembly was at Ningbo, Zhejiang. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan Qashqai, the Audi R8, the Volkswagen Tiguan — show what else the money bought that year. Its Geely stablemates include the Geely GE and the Geely Yuanjing X6.
