Information has appeared in the Rospatent open database that Geely has registered another name for the car in Russia – Starray. Which model it will definitely get is still unknown. However, it is believed that the Chinese came up with this name for a business sedan known as the Preface.
Geely Preface, which debuted in 2020, is already on sale in Russia, but only under the parallel import scheme – dealers ask for a car from 2.5 to 3 million rubles, depending on the exchange rate on the day of the transaction. For this money, the buyer gets a stylish business sedan, “armed” with a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 190 horsepower. Of. and a “robot” with seven gears and two clutches.
In terms of options, the Preface features a multimedia system with a 12.3-inch screen, dual-zone climate control, power front seats, a panoramic roof, a premium sound system and much more.
The fact that Preface gets the name Starray and breaks into the impoverished domestic market is just a guess. But if it is true, then the Chinese have yet to carry out the certification procedure, which will take some time. So do not expect the start of the “official” sale of new items in the coming months. In addition, Geely’s attention is now focused on another Russian launch – the Monjaro crossover.
