New budget sedan Geely Emgrand arrived in Belarus

Last summer, Gennady Svidersky, head of the BelGee plant in Belarus, said that Geely plans to expand its range with a new budget sedan. The tests were supposed to start at the end of last year, but something went wrong and test cars have just arrived in the republic.

A year ago, Geely representatives did not discuss which model would take its place in the lineup. Just a “sedan with a manual transmission” that can please buyers with affordable prices. Now at least three fourth-generation Emgrands have been brought to Belarus. They all have the same equipment, a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter engine with 109 powers and a manual gearbox, according to the Chinese Automobiles portal.

Recall that the new generation of Geely Emgrand – an extremely important model for the brand – was presented in China last summer. The sedan is slightly larger than its predecessor and is based on the BMA platform, the same bogie that forms the basis of the Coolray crossover. There is only one four-door engine – the same aspirated 1.5 liters. But the buyer can choose a box: “mechanics” or a variator.

It’s hard to say how soon the tests will be completed and when the new product will be “registered” at BelGee’s factory. The prospects for his appearance in Russia are also not clear, although the chances of Geely Emgrand entering domestic car dealerships are quite high. Indeed, despite the fact that the Chinese are focused on crossovers, they are unlikely to miss the opportunity to occupy a vacant niche and compete for buyers’ wallets with the expensive LADA Vesta and the scarce Kia Rio. and Hyundai Solaris.
