The Geely Tugella Gains Updates and New Prices in Belarus
The Belarusian distributor for the Chinese brand has announced fresh pricing for the updated Geely Tugella crossover. It is important to note that the model is manufactured at the Belarusian plant Belgium, and vehicles assembled there are shipped to Russia. In the Russian market, Tugella consistently appears in lists of popular Chinese models, and observers expect the refreshed version to arrive soon in that region as well. The update signals a broader push to keep the Tugella competitive in a fast-changing market.
Visual refinements cover the front bumper, radiator grille, lower rear bumper, and the exhaust outlets, which now proudly bear the label Chinese cars. A styling package is offered as an option, featuring a black roof, a trunk lid spoiler, darker wheels, and the potential addition of contrasting vertical gills on the redesigned front bumper to accentuate the modern look. These changes aim to elevate the Tugella’s road presence while maintaining its practical design cues. Attribution: Geely press materials, 2023.
Onboard tech receives notable upgrades, including the latest High Contrast Windshield Projection, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Collision Alert. These features are designed to boost driver awareness and safety in busy international markets. Attribution: European and global model line overview, 2023.
Packed options are planned to include a Bose audio system with 12 speakers, four additional USB ports, and wireless charging. Some configurations, however, are reported to experience delays until January of the next year, which reflects typical supply-chain adjustments for a mid-cycle refresh.

Under the hood, the Tugella remains powered by the familiar turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 238 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. It continues to pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive setup, preserving the model’s dynamic driving character that customers value in North America and Europe.
