The Geely Borui is a large family car produced by Chinese automaker Geely.

Background

The design of the Borui is based on the KC Concept unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, 2013. The design was penned by Peter Horbury, the former Volvo designer who was named chief designer at Geely in 2012.[2]

Development

The car was developed from a new platform jointly developed with Volvo.[2] It is equipped with double wishbone suspension tuned by automotive technology company Prodrive. The Borui engine options include a 1.8T GDI engine and 3.5L V6 aluminum engine, as well as a six-speed direct shift gearbox provided by Australian transmission producer DSI, which was acquired by Geely in 2009.[3] The Borui received 5 stars in C-NCAP crash testing.[4][5]
