As we all know, in the era of fuel vehicles, with its outstanding appearance design and internal combustion engine research and development technology, Geely has always had the reputation of "domestic brother". But in fact, Geely still has some models that have not responded well to the market. Just like Geely ICON, although it won the attention of many consumers at the beginning of its listing with the exquisite appearance of the "Little Land Rover", the problem of the three-cylinder engine made it difficult to make a breakthrough in sales; Even if the four-cylinder engine was subsequently replaced, the sales performance of the ICON still showed a downward trend; As of April this year, the ICON had only achieved dismal sales of 406 units. Fortunately, Geely has not given up on the ICON, and even continued to upgrade it in order to stop its sales from falling and recover. No, the 2024 Geely ICON, which once again ushered in the annual facelift, not only got the new name "Linglong", but also was photographed by netizens a few days ago with the actual car arriving at the store. Without further ado, let's take this opportunity to take a sneak peek at the 2024 Geely ICON.
Since it is still an annual facelift model, the appearance of the 2024 Geely ICON Linglong has not been significantly adjusted. Its front face will still have a unique split headlight and grille design similar to that of a new energy vehicle, and in order to cater to the sci-fi beauty and avant-garde value of young consumers.
On the side of the body, the new car also continues the tough design structure of the "Land Rover". In addition, its floating roof design, with concealed door handles and new-style wheels, will continue to reveal a young, avant-garde aesthetic.
At the rear, the new car still adopts a layered styling design, and adds taillights that echo the sense of technology on the front face and a thick rear surround to further deepen its design concept in line with the young aesthetic trend.
In the interior, the 2024 Geely ICON Linglong will also continue the original personalized design layout, with a sinuous Zhilian screen and a small and exquisite electronic gear knob to reveal the technological atmosphere in the car. In addition, the new car will be upgraded with intelligent AI voice interaction, intelligent AutoNavi navigation, Huawei Hicar, entertainment APP, mobile APP remote control and other functions of the Galaxy OS car machine system, equipped with face recognition intelligent activation system, 540° panoramic image, inductive electric tailgate, L2 level driving assistance system, etc.
In terms of space, since it is only an annual facelift model, the 2024 Geely ICON Linglong will still have a body measurement of 4350/1815/1620mm and a wheelbase of 2640mm. Although the dimensions have not been adjusted, the interior space performance is still quite adequate according to its positioning as a small SUV.
In terms of power, the new car will continue to be equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 181 horsepower and a maximum torque of 290 Nm, mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Finally, the 2024 Geely ICON Linglong will not only be an annual facelift model with new equipment, but also a version that lowers the entry threshold for the ICON series. This has made the outside world widely speculate that its official starting price is likely to be more than 90,000! Of course, the final price is subject to the official announcement. So, will the 2024 Geely ICON Linglong be the object of your attention in the future?
