Geely has been the hot topic of late, but for the wrong reasons. Can this GX3 Pro win them some redemption?
Geely has been the hot topic in the auto industry for the last 4 years. Their cars are impressive, and I say that without the need for a qualifier like. Their cars are impressive even compared to the Japanese and Korean brands, so much so that many customers who normally wouldn’t consider a Geely couldn’t help but give them serious consideration.
On first impressions alone, I’m not going to lie: many were underwhelmed when they first saw the GX3 Pro at MIAS. We’ve been spoiled by good-looking Geely models like the Coolray, the Azkarra, Emgrand, and the Okavango, and then suddenly the GX3 Pro comes along. It’s not going to be upping the ante, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad car.
The interior of the GX3 Pro is something that underwhelmed many who saw it at MIAS. Coupled with the lackluster lighting at the venue, it looked drab and basic. But when you actually sit inside it in the sunlight, the cabin looks fine. The dashboard -while not as nice or as futuristic as the Coolray’s- does appear well-designed and well-built. The panels fit together well, and there’s no squeaking from the interior when you drive it around like what we experienced in the Chinese-made T-Cross.
The front almost looks sedan-ish with the A-pillar starting a bit further back. Together with the respectable cargo area, the result is a passenger compartment that can feel tight, depending on your height. For the next model, perhaps they could adopt what Honda does by moving the A-pillar forward to generate more space inside.
Being that the drivetrain is comprised of a 1.5-liter non-turbo mated to a CVT, the GX3 won’t impress you when you floor it like the Coolray’s 1.5-liter turbo or the Raize’s 1.0L turbo; this GX3 has just 102 PS and 142 Nm after all. What it does do better than the Coolray and Raize turbo is smoothness: it’s a 4-cylinder. Engines with an even number of cylinders tend to have far less vibration than engines with an odd number of cylinders, and that is certainly the case here.
