China-Offroader: Geely zielt mit dem Project KO11 auf die Offroad-Oberklasse
Von wegen einfach und bezahlbar: Zwar will Geely mit dem E2 gerade das Kleinwagensegment aufmischen. Doch auf dem Pariser Salon träumt der chinesische Hersteller von einer ganz anderen Liga.
Geely, the Chinese automotive manufacturer, is set to unveil its ambitious Project KO11 at the Paris Auto Show, scheduled from October 12th to 18th. The futuristic-looking vehicle, which is designed to be an upper-class off-roader, is expected to hit the market within a year and will be available in Europe. Standing at over five meters in length, the KO11 is not aiming to compete with luxury SUVs like the BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS, but rather with adventure-oriented vehicles such as the Land Rover Defender or Mercedes G-Klasse.
Powered by a combination of a three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine and three electric motors, the KO11 boasts a total output of 200 kW/272 PS at the front axle and a combined 360 kW/450 PS at the rear axle. The front motor draws its power from a 47 kWh battery pack, while the rear motors receive their energy from two additional 180 kWh batteries. However, Geely has not disclosed the pricing details for the KO11 yet, as the vehicle is set to enter the market by the end of 2027 and does not even have a name at the moment.
