In late 2017 Geely unveiled a flagship hybrid fastback car '
K Model' (later renamed
Geely Borui GT) based on the Geely Borui. It was later renamed as the "Geely Borui GE". On 10 March 2018, the Chinese automaker Geely organized an activity of design interpretation and static shot of the new Borui GE in Suzhou, Jiangsu. it was the first shown of Geely Borui GE. In 2018
Beijing Auto Show, a month and a half after the event in Suzhou, the Borui GE featured in the important areas of the booths. The Borui GE featured a full LED light system and a 7-speed
dual-clutch gearbox co-developed by Geely and
Volvo with an electronic gearknob. The liquid crystal dashboard, electronic handbrake, automatic parking,
ACC system, seat heating and ventilation, electric boost,
knee airbag and remote start are available in most models.
Technical specifications Plug-in hybrid version The PHEV version featured an ternary lithium battery provided by Ningde Century which supports power from charging piles outputs 6.6 kW or 3.3 kW and 220V household. When using 6.6 kW charging piles, the model needs only 1.5 hours to finish charging and would able to cruise or more without petrol. The battery uses "T segment" and a Geely "P2.5 system". The transmission carries a 1.5TD petrol engine and a 7-speed
DCT gearbox. The peak torque of plug in version reaches . File:Geely Borui GE.jpg|Geeely Borui GE PHEV
Geely P2.5 Hybrid Drive System Most European automakers use a hybrid system called P2, which means the electric power lies between the
engine and the
gearbox. However, Geely Borui GE puts its electric power on its
dual-clutch gearbox. The e-machine is connected with one of the two clutches by an
input shaft. The defect is that the clutch of even numbers would carry more mechanical abrasion.
Mild hybrid version Borui GE MHEV uses a 1.5T L3 petrol engine and carries a Geely P0 electric motor. The Borui GE P0 electric motor only provides a small battery and does not support pure electric drive. In fact the battery is only helping the
three cylinder engine and the
dual clutch transmission for fuel saving. Fuel economy numbers are rated at and power outputs for the MHEV are and of torque. File:Geely Borui GE in a Underground Parking Lot.jpg |Geely Borui GE MHEV
Promotion event Geely Auto had organised a driving activity on 10 May 2018, about three weeks before going on sale. The activity's main focus was the low of fuel consumption of Borui GE. The
Beijing-
Shanghai journey began on the morning and ended at midnight. This showed that each car used only a tank of petrol. The route was about , passing 44 cities. According to the
trip computer, the average fuel consumption was , and the lowest consumption was , breaking the record low of hybrid B-segment car fuel consumption. ==Facelift (2020)==
