The Geely Haoyue L Readies for Russian Markets with Updated Look and Specs
Geely’s Haoyue L crossover has earned a patent in Russia, a development reported by Car news of the day. The images showing the new design were released by the Federal Industrial Property Institute, offering a first look at the model’s refreshed appearance since its China debut last November.
The redesigned front fascia gives the seven‑seat SUV a bolder stance, while a spoiler now sits above the tailgate, amplifying the vehicle’s aerodynamic silhouette. The exterior tweaks translate into a longer overall length of 4860 mm, an increase of 25 mm compared with the previous model. In practical terms, this makes the Haoyue L just over 5 centimeters longer than the current Kia Sorento, a detail that could influence interior space and cargo room perceptions. The wheelbase remains at 2825 mm, preserving much of the original platform geometry for ride quality and interior packaging.
Under the hood, the Haoyue L deploys a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivering 218 horsepower and 325 Nm of torque. This marks a departure from the earlier 1.8-liter configuration, signaling Geely’s push toward stronger turbocharged outputs to bolster performance in the competitive midsize SUV segment. The updated suspension setup features MacPherson struts upfront and an independent multi-link arrangement at the rear, aiming to balance comfort with responsive handling for everyday driving in North American cities and the broader Canadian market.
Meanwhile, it is noted that General Motors’ Chevrolet brand reportedly intends to discontinue the Camaro in 2024, a separate industry update that underscores ongoing shifts within the global automotive lineup.
Geely has not yet confirmed any concrete plans to launch the Haoyue L in Russia, leaving potential availability and timing as a待 subject to future announcements. Industry observers in North America will watch closely to see how Geely positions the Haoyue L against established competitors in the region, including the perennial preferences for interior space, ride comfort, and technology features that resonate with Canadian and U.S. buyers.
