Following a teaser last year, Geely has unveiled their upcoming crossover which is codenamed the KX11.
While the company isn’t saying much besides “stay tuned,” the KX11 features a prominent grille which is flanked by sweptback headlights. The latter appear to have integrated LED daytime running lights and turn signals.
Moving further back, we can see minimalist cladding and a pronounced shoulder line which wraps around the vehicle. Designers also gave the crossover streamlined bodywork, an expansive greenhouse and a gently sloping roof.

Continuing to the rear, there’s a ventilated bumper with stylish chrome trim. The crossover also has slender taillights, an angular rear window and a liftgate-mounted spoiler.
Geely has been hard at work lately teaming up with various tech powerhouses in order to better position themselves in the automotive sector going forward.
Just this month they joined forces with Chinese search giant Baidu in order to build electric vehicles, before forming a joint venture with Foxconn that will allow them to build cars for other brands. As for their next move, it was announced yesterday.
The Volvo parent company, which also happens to own 9.7% of Daimler, signed an agreement with Tencent to develop smart vehicle interiors and autonomous driving technologies, as per Reuters.
Through this latest partnership, Geely aims to jointly develop smart car cockpits that specifically feature more mobile and mobility service applications. Tencent meanwhile is also an investor in EV makers such as Tesla and Nio.
The teaser campaign for the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV continues as the company is giving us a look at the crossover’s front end.
While there isn’t much to see, the model will have distinctive lighting units which combine an LED daytime running light with a sequential front turn signal.
These combination lights are located where the headlights reside on the current Bolt, but previous spy photos have suggested they will be moved to the middle of the fascia. The changes won’t stop there as the Bolt EUV will feature a crossover-inspired beltline, a slightly flatter roof and a thick C-pillar. The model will have a unique rear end with an angular window and new taillights.
