Chinese Geely revealed plans for localization in Russia

Geely is preparing several new models for the Russian market and does not yet plan to localize production in the country. Alexey Markov, Deputy General Director of Geely Motors in Russia, told Izvestia about this.

According to him, two new products should appear on the market before the end of 2026. The release of another new car - all-wheel drive with a hybrid power plant - is scheduled for the winter of 2027. Russian premieres are planned by the Chinese brand throughout 2027.

Among future new products, a company representative named the second model of the Nordcross brand and more expensive hybrid models. Markov described the updating of the line as a constant process: some machines complete their life cycle, others come to replace them. The company intends to close segments where it is losing customers due to model changes.

Markov also emphasized that there is currently no talk of official sales of cars from the Zeekr and Lynk&Co brands. At the same time, Geely will increase the presence of electric vehicles and hybrids. In the near future, three dealership centers will be opened in Moscow and St. Petersburg, specializing in cars powered by new energy sources.
