Proton X90 Kemungkinan Besar Geely Hao Yue

Geely Hao Yue Akan Memasuki Segmen D Malaysia Dengan Lencana Proton.

Sejak perkongsian dengan Geely Auto, Proton telah mengalami pemulihan penuh dalam permintaan dan keuntungan. Pernah menjadi jenama automotif yang bergelut, hari ini ia sudah berjaya. Tetapi ia bukan semuanya baik kerana maslah after-sales dan kekurangan alat ganti telah memberikan Proton penampilan yang agak negatif di media sosial dan walaupun terdapat peningkatan dalam jualan, terdapat juga kejatuhan dalam tempahan (yang masih sangat kecil jika dibandingkan dengan tempahan yang semakin meningkat).

Kisah kejayaan datang daripada dua model dari Geely Auto. Proton X70 pemasangan tempatan yang tiba hampir 2 tahun lalu dan Proton X50 yang berusia dua tahun. Lencana semula (rebadge) dan dikilang di Malaysia mereka menikmati status kereta nasional Malaysia yang menikmati pengurangan cukai dan dengan itu menghasilkan titik harga yang lebih rendah di negara di mana cukai import ke atas kenderaan adalah sangat tinggi.

Untuk meneruskan kejayaan jualan, Geely Auto sedang menyediakan SUV rebadge baharu Malaysia. Ini ialah Geely Hao Yue berusia 2 tahun yang merupakan SUV segmen D 7 tempat duduk.

Direka bentuk untuk bersaing terus dengan Toyota Fortuner, Mazda CX-8 dan Nissan X-Trail, Geely Hao Yue mungkin akan ada lencana X90. Jadi, Proton X90 akan datang dan akan dijual pada harga sekitar RM138,800 yang akan memberikan kelebihan harga yang besar berbanding CX-8 yang berharga sekitar RM180k atau Nissan X-Trail yang berharga daripada RM140,888.

Maximum Space, Maximum Value

Geely Auto has always strived to push the boundaries in design, functionality, and value. The Haoyue was designed under Geely’s unique ‘Expansive Aesthetic’ concept with ubiquitously tensile lines resulting in a broad muscular body. Designers integrated form with technology to create a modern, refined design that strikes unique a balance of space and functionality.

The Geely Haoyue comes in both 5 and 7-seat configurations with rear seats capable of folding completely flat to maximise space utilization. Fully folded, the rear interior space can reach 2.2 square meters – equivalent to a king-sized bed – whilst the trunk space can be expanded to 2360L, capable of accommodating all kinds of medium to large objects.

Both 5 and 7-seat configurations offer extensive legroom, allowing users as tall as 1.9m to sit comfortably without any adjustments. Seats in all rows are adjustable including back-row seats which are equipped with eight-way adjustable backrests. Users can also opt for a seven ‘VIP’ seat configuration that includes 7 independently-adjustable seats.

The ‘Healthiest’ SUV:

The Haoyue was developed following Geely’s ‘healthy car’ concept, with all materials undergoing stringent environmental testing with requirements over 20 times higher than Chinese national standards.

The result is a large cockpit without a harmful ‘new car smell’. The Haoyue also comes equipped with Geely’s officially certified CN95 grade high-efficiency air purification system capable of filtering out 99 percent of PM2.5 particles and 98 percent of droplets bigger than 0.74µm which may contain viruses and other harmful elements. In combination with Haoyue’s three-zone air conditioner and AQS system, cabin air can be quickly purified and refreshed in under three minutes.

Powering the Haoyue is Geely’s latest 1.8TD engine paired with a dual-clutch 7-speed transmission which together meet China’s most stringent national 6B emission standards.

When it comes to intelligent driving, Hao Yue is equipped with L2 assisted driving technologies. 24 sensors assist 17 intelligent drive features in the large SUV allowing it to automatically follow, stop, as well as turn at speeds up to 150km/h. Sensors also enable the SUV to achieve one-button automatic parking with 360° panoramic imaging.

Inside the Hao Yue, users can experience the latest GKUI Geely Smart Ecosystem utilizing Geely’s independently developed high-performance quad-core dedicated vehicle microprocessor, E01. GKUI allows users to interact with the vehicle through an AI-powered voice assistant.

The ecosystem is also able to be integrated with a host of IoT applications such as JD.com’s smart home which allows users to monitor and control home appliances on the road. Users can also interact and monitor information in the vehicle through the multiple high-definition displays including a 12.3-inch central infotainment panel, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, and advanced WHUD heads-up navigation display.

Haoyue is Geely’s latest offering to follow the brand’s user-centric approach to the market and helps expand the brand’s product portfolio to encompass the 7-seat SUV segment. It offers consumers a new choice with a smart, spacious, high-quality, and technologically-advanced SUV.

The model’s safe and comfortable drive experience, as well as its generous value proposition, will set a new benchmark for D-segment SUVs in the world.
