After details of Geely’s B-segment SUV were revealed, photos of a new compact sedan from the Chinese carmaker have now surfaced, thanks to CarNewsChina. This is the upcoming Geely SL, which is set to be launched in China in the second half of 2018.
The model will reportedly be positioned between the Emgrand GL and the Borui, with two turbocharged engines on offer. The first is a 1.0 litre three-cylinder with 134 hp and 180 Nm of torque, while the other is a 1.4 litre four-cylinder producing 131 hp and 215 Nm.
In terms of dimensions, the SL measures 4,680 mm long, 1,785 mm wide, 1,460 mm tall and has a 2,670 mm wheelbase. Compared to the Emgrand GL, it has a longer length (+48 mm) and wheelbase (+20 mm), but is narrower (-4 mm) and shorter in height (-10 mm).
Design-wise, the SL features the brand’s trademark “water ripple” grille at the front – also found on other Geely models. This is flanked by a pair of angular headlights, while the lower part of the bumper has large corner “air intakes” and another inlet.
At the rear, slender taillights are linked by a chrome trim piece bearing the ‘Geely’ name, with integrated two exhaust outlets in the lower apron – reminiscent of what you’ll find on the SX11.

hmm.. finally got something…
finally got something… but boleh pipu wont buy.

There goes our Saga and Persona!!!! Ha ha ha ha. End of life already. See how Geely has taken over.
The engine output is a lot better than persona n saga, cheaper road tax which is Good. It looks a lot better…
It’s turbocharged brader
This is all new Inspira.
Cannot be. This is B segment car which is like the current Persona . Inspira is C segment, 1 size larger.
Perfect for Preve replacement. Fear P1!
Tahniah Geely! No hoo-ha mcm perodua.
Soon Geely will say, drop Persona and Saga. We bring in our own car. And 50% profits will go back to China.
Jual pun salah.
X jual pun salah.
Adoi!

Name me a foreign company in Malaysia that DOESN’T repatriate profits back to home country HQ?
Of course, a portion of the profit will be plough back into local operations for Capex & expansion.
Inb4, this will be Preve2
“Compared to the Emgrand GL, it has a longer length (+48 mm) and wheelbase (+20 mm), but is narrower (-4 mm) and shorter (-10 mm).”
So isit longer or shorter?
Shorter in height.
Lower?
*lower height would be less confusing.
Thanks for the clarification and amendment.
Always confused.. terminology.
Rendah = short
Pendek = short.
So which one? how about lower? easier to understand.
Only set to launched in China in the second half of 2018 & M’sian is already so EXCITED !! Bila mari sini Geely ?? 2019 ka 2020 ??!
That new 1.4L Turbo named 2017 China Heart award, so not your caplang reverse-engineered copycat engine. It’s properly, properly engineered engine. From Geely Global’s news :
“Highly regarded in the industry, the “China Heart” award is known as the “Oscars” of engines awards in China. From an initial pool of 50 engines, 20 were selected for the finals with 12 of them coming from foreign joint-venture brands. Geely’s 1.4T competed with the likes of Volkswagen, Toyota, and Ford to become selected as one of China’s top ten engines in 2017. Previously Geely’s 1.3T and 1.8TD have also be named “China Heart” top ten engines of the year. Including this year, Geely engines has won the “China Heart” award 4 year in a row, making Geely a leader in powertrain technology within China.”
Syukurlah Proton part of this prestigious Geely family.
Geely, Bao Teng > all
“Two engines on offer. The first is a 1.0 litre three-cylinder with 134 hp and 180 Nm of torque, while the other is a 1.4 litre four-cylinder producing 131 hp and 215 Nm.”
1.0 engine got turbo charge? producing 134 HP? higher than 1.4 engine?
What about 1.4? super charge? can delivery 215NM.. not bad! Interested to know more what tech they are using! Hybrid with electric power?
Geely’s cars are getting better each year. This SL seems to be their new C-sedan, judging by its dimensions.

Remember how they plan 5 Proton models and 5 for Lotus? Berapa yang jadi?
They didn’t have a solid direction and financial means to release those models and you know the reasons why. But now that they do with Geely, it’s no longer sendiri cakap, sendiri syok but actual progress starting this year.
You mean they were so bad the last time? Have they changed all the incompetent staffs?
Yes. They got rid of their meddlesome patron. Solved all their problems
Perodua CEO n UMW is having nightmare now…. Soon, >30% sales will taken by Geeky..
very bold design, aggressive and fresh. back looks modern and have a very strong appearance.
rebatch…… sell 30K ……
30k ah?! Minus the engine and give u basic interior can la…
Axia engine/gearbox, no aircon, no power windows/mirrors and mamak chair seats.
And then it can be 30k, but do you still want it in that configuration.
2019 Preve, or should it be Pleve..
Would hold off any new purchases until P1 comes out with their new range of cars.
Saga, Persona and the whole fleet will be obsolete soon.
The aggressive bumper and sunroof indicates top level trim, but the actual rims design has not been finalized yet?
rebadge as is , and name it wira
1.8 turbo, same as the boyue
