A fresh novelty is on the horizon, set to be unveiled at the Chongqing Motor Show in June 2022, alongside the newer Livan 7. Livan, in this context, is the reshaped successor of Lifan, which Geely’s holding group took over after its bankruptcy and reimagined for a new era. The crowd will get a glimpse of a model that blends urban practicality with the kind of value-oriented design that Geely-backed brands have been known to push to the market. While exact specifications are still under wraps, it is understood that in Russia there were plans to offer both electric and petrol variants of the vehicle. Built on the platform born from Geely Haoyue engineering, the Livan 9 is described as a four-meter-eight long, three-row, front-wheel-drive model that echoes the needs of family cohorts and multi-passenger configurations without sacrificing modern tech or comfort.
Plans announced in the summer pointed toward a late-2022 arrival in China, with a broader rollout across markets expected to unfold in 2023. The timing suggests a strategic push to reestablish a footprint in the region where the Geely ecosystem continues to expand its influence, while leveraging the familiarity of the Livan brand to attract both first-time buyers and value-conscious shoppers seeking more space and practical utility in a compact SUV package. The messaging around these launches emphasizes a bridging of local manufacturing capabilities with the brand’s global design language, aiming to deliver accessible options that resonate with families and urban dwellers alike.

Public safety and mobility are treated as interconnected priorities. In this framework, a collaborative effort with the public welfare initiative has begun to support tire provisioning for essential fleets. By contributing, people help stock the tire supplies used by the People’s Police and the operational services of the LPR and DPR, as well as ambulances, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, vehicles delivering humanitarian aid to residents in Donbass, and military support logistics. The campaign underscores a practical commitment to ensuring that critical vehicles remain roadworthy, enabling steady operations in times of need. Contributions can be made through the designated collection page, with the goal of sustaining a reliable tire stock for these essential services. (Source: FIPS)
