Yesterday, Geely Automobile announced its full-year sales for 2023, with annual sales exceeding 1.68 million vehicles, an increase of about 81% year-on-year, exceeding the target! The Geely brand under its umbrella achieved annual sales of over 1.3 million vehicles in 2023, with the use of a dual-line strategy for gasoline and electric vehicles being the key to its strong sales. Today, the newly launched Haoyue PRO, as a new member of the Geely Haoyue family, together with the Haoyue L, is competing in the A-level SUV and B-level SUV markets. According to the official introduction, the new car will be positioned as a compact SUV in the 80,000 yuan (11280$) range and will be officially launched in January. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the all-new Haoyue PRO.
In terms of appearance, the Haoyue PRO uses an oversized wave-like matrix front grille with 128 embossed stars inside, giving it a three-dimensional look from every angle. The edge of the grille also features a borderless design, giving the front face a more visually impactful look. In addition, the new car is available in four body colors: misty gray, ice crystal white, jungle green, and extreme brown.
In the details, the Geely Haoyue PRO is equipped with full LED headlights, including lenses for low beams, providing a 160m illumination distance. It offers sufficient lighting and good visual effects when turned on.
The car’s side profile has a strong and dynamic waistline. Although it is positioned as a compact SUV, the smooth lines and dynamic floating roof with a fully integrated streamlined design of the roof-mounted aluminum luggage rack make the overall side profile of the new car appear long and coordinated, with a more exquisite visual effect.
In terms of wheels, the actual model is equipped with 18-inch wheels, with a two-tone fan blade design, which looks quite atmospheric and fashionable. At the same time, the 18-inch size matches the body size, giving it a full appearance. In terms of tire specifications, the actual model is equipped with 225/60 R18 Atlas brand tires.
The rear of the car is rich in layers and more three-dimensional, showing full tension. At the same time, the roof is also equipped with a large-sized spoiler, adding a sporty atmosphere to the rear of the car.
The Geely Hao Yue PRO features a 1.2m wing-shaped LED taillight design, with a red trim in the middle and tail lights integrated into one, widening the horizontal visual effect. The light group on both sides is equipped with 48 LED beads, which can bring a good visual effect when illuminated.
In the details, the Geely Haoyue PRO also uses chrome-plated dual-sided exhaust decorations, adding a more sporty and stylish atmosphere to the entire vehicle. The real dual-sided exhausts are hidden inside the front bumper.
In terms of interior, the Geely Haoyue PRO also adopts the popular minimalist design language, with the center console simplifying physical buttons and retaining only the essential functions. The most eye-catching feature inside the car is the 1.02m long suspended screen with high-definition display and OCR full-fit integrated screen, which effectively reduces screen glare and provides excellent visual experience in the compact SUV segment.
In terms of material selection, the Geely Haoyue PRO has achieved a high level among compact SUVs in the 80,000-level. The center console is covered with a large area of soft materials. The actual shooting model also uses dual-tone color matching, and the front passenger side also uses laser radium carving technology, providing a nice luxurious texture for the interior.
The steering wheel adopts a new three-spoke flat-bottom style, with chrome accents at the bottom for a stylish design. The new car only offers up and down adjustments.
The Geely Haoyue PRO also features electronic shifting, with a sleek and compact design that enhances both the technological and user experience.
Below the center console, there is an open storage compartment with a rubber mat to increase friction for holding items like phones more securely. Additionally, there are two USB power ports above for convenient charging of mobile devices.
The LCD instrument panel adopts a black background with white text UI design, and the layout is very clear. On the left are the water temperature, vehicle status, and trip mileage; in the middle are the vehicle speed, driving information, and gear information; on the right are the outside temperature, engine speed, and fuel level. Drivers can easily and intuitively find relevant driving information.
Equipped with a smart car system, the 12.3-inch multimedia screen features intelligent voice interaction, online music, Gaode navigation, car WiFi, phone projection, online weather, and online video. The system is rich in features for a car in the 80,000 level. The system operation logic is clear and easy to use, with satisfactory performance in smoothness.
The Geely Haoyue PRO also offers three driving modes: economic, comfortable, and sporty. In different modes, the steering force and throttle response will be adjusted.
The rear-view camera on the car model provides clear imaging quality and the tracking lines move with the steering wheel.
The seats feature a one-piece dual-tone color scheme, with a very sporty and stylish design. The driver’s seat also has a 6-way power adjustment function. The seats are made of dual-density foam sponge, providing a soft and comfortable riding experience. The full PVC perforated fabric covering also has better dirt resistance and durability for long-term use.
The rear seats are soft and comfortable, and in terms of space, they also meet the level of an SUV of this class. A 1.9m tall passenger does not feel cramped. The central floor is almost flat and the rear seats are equipped with air conditioning vents and power outlets, which takes good care of the rear passengers.
In terms of trunk space, in the normal state, the opening height is not high, and the interior is also relatively neat, enough for daily family use. If you want to transport large items, after folding down the rear seats, you can get a super large volume of 1850L, and the floor flatness is also very good. In addition, the car is equipped with 28 humanized storage spaces, which is very practical for a family car.
The Geely Hao Yue PRO is built on the BMA architecture. It will be equipped with the Geely Jinqing 1.5TD-7DCT efficient power system, with a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. The WLTC comprehensive condition fuel consumption is 6.85L/100km.
In terms of chassis, the Geely Haoyue PRO uses a combination of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, which is still very competitive for an SUV in the 80,000 level. From a static experience perspective, the design of the Geely Haoyue PRO is more in line with the current design trend, with a stylish and simple appearance that is more in line with the aesthetic of young consumers. In terms of configuration, the 1.02-meter long floating screen, user-friendly intelligent interaction system, spacious space, and the 1.5T+7DCT golden power combination make it competitive in the 80,000 level compact SUV segment. If you want to choose a stylish and comprehensive family SUV, the Geely Haoyue PRO is worth looking forward to.
