Though a set of round headlights on a prototype obviously temporary, it is worth paying attention to their two-number of storeys. Perhaps, this decision will remain also in a series.

The Chinese crossover with the Swedish numbers at the height of 2000 meters in the Alps. Such show was observed the other day friendly to us by the photospies who have shared pictures. They have made small investigation and have found out that it is a prototype of the new car from the Geely company. It is easy to guess development of this SUV together with Volvo. That inside — the latest C-segment Modular Architecture (CMA) platform, paparazzi who a few days ago have noticed the same machine in China declared.

At a prototype — strongly inclined back glass. Lamps come on a trunk lid.

This platform has been developed jointly by Volvo and Geely with a sight both on compact models from the Gothenburg, and on machines of the Chinese partner. So in the technical plan before us — the Chinese analog of the concept 40.1 foretelling the Volvo XC40 SUV. All machines on the CMA platform for Europe will be issued in the Belgian Ghent, and for China — in the Celestial Empire. According to Reuters, for the Chinese models on CMA Geely will create a new brand which is still known as L. The first serial cars on CMA will enter the market in 2017.
