A Malaysian automaker will enter the Russian market?
As reported by «Chinese Cars» with reference to auto industry expert Andrei Dorofeev, a new Geely sub-brand may appear in Russia. Moreover, apparently, we are talking about official deliveries of cars.
«As I learned from a reliable source, Geely is preparing a certain sub-brand to officially enter our market. Of the entire list of automobile brands owned by the Hangzhou holding, if I understand correctly, it may turn out to be our old friend — national Malaysian automaker corporation Proton», — told by Andrey Dorofeev.
If Geely really brings Proton cars to the Russian market, then it is not entirely clear how the company will differentiate them from the current Geely and «BelG» cars, because the Proton X50 – this is the same first generation Coolray and BelGee X50, Proton X70 – this is the Geely Atlas Pro assembled in Belarus, and the Proton S70 – This is Geely Emgrand. True, Proton has five more models in its assortment, and some do not overlap with the current Geely line.
