The modern automobile market is increasingly filled with Chinese-made vehicles. Over the past 5 years, cars from the Middle Kingdom have stepped far forward in terms of quality and design. One of the brands firmly established in the Russian market is Geely. She continues to conquer motorists with new budget models.
Such was the released in 2014 Geely GC6. Owner reviews, descriptions and specifications - all this you will find in this review. Geely is both the youngest and most successful Chinese automobile corporation according to Forbes. The lineup includes about 30 models of different price categories.
Appearance
The design of the Geely GC6 received positive reviews. Indeed, the appearance of the model is not at all like the stereotypical awkward forms of the Chinese. At the same time, the exterior is simple and concise, a bit reminiscent of a Chevrolet Cobalt. The darkened headlights, coupled with the upper strip, add charm to the car. The front bumper is complemented by a wide slot in the air intake, which gives it a more sporty look. The back of the car is decorated with an elegant chrome strip along the trunk line.
The side view of the Geely GC6 does not cause enthusiastic reviews: the lines look too simple and modest. Pleasing to the eye is the line at the level of the door handles, which runs all over the body and looks stylish. According to the layout, this is a four-door sedan, designed for five passengers, including the driver.
Geely GC6: interior review
The GC6 is the most spacious car in its class. There is enough space in front for a large driver and passenger, and three people can comfortably sit behind. The center console looks simple and not overloaded. In the middle is a multimedia display of medium quality, but what else can you expect for such a price. Below are the climate controls.
Above the display is a monochrome screen showing the main technical indicators of the car in real time. The console with the gear knob is narrow and low, making the legroom for the driver and passenger even larger. The steering wheel is large and comfortable, with multimedia controls on the left. The steering column is adjustable for reach and height. The instrument panel is made on the "five": all data is easily read, the location of the speedometer and tachometer is convenient.
On the front doors are window control buttons. The quality of the materials is also impressive. Of course, cheap plastic has not gone anywhere, but the build quality is good: almost nothing will hold together and does not shake even when driving on a bad road. Here it is worth mentioning sound insulation, which leaves a good impression - there is no need to raise the voice of everyone in the cabin.
Inside the car there are about 20 different glove compartments and pockets for storing small items. Reason for pride Geely GC6 - reviews on the capacity of the cabin. In the back row of seats three people of medium build will calmly fit. Two passengers will feel free at all. Large trunk: its capacity is 470 liters.
The basic configuration of the Geely GC6 boasts the presence of ABS, air conditioning, airbags, EBD, a modern radio with USB output, heated and electrically operated side mirrors. Not bad for a budget sedan, is it?
Geely GC6: specifications
According to the website of the official Geely dealer, the GC6 is offered in a variant with only one engine. Its volume is 1.5 liters, and power is 94 horsepower. These indicators are enough to make the sedan feel confident on city roads. The car has a front-wheel drive, the gearbox is a 5-speed manual.
Options
There are only two complete sets for the car - basic and comfortable. The price of the first starts from 400 thousand rubles. The comfortable version costs a little more - 420 thousand. Expensive equipment received parking sensors, two additional rear speakers, a leather steering wheel, fog lights and alloy wheels. The choice is obvious: for such a small overpayment, the owner will receive much more benefits.
Confirm the success of the Geely GC6 reviews of the owners of this car. If you believe the forums and other sources, most of them are satisfied with the acquisition of GC6. The cost benefits and impressive reliability of the machine are especially noted.
