Belarus president test drives new Geely cars

BORISOV, 3 May (BelTA) – Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko personally test drove new Geely cars on 3 May, BelTA has learned.

The head of state used a Geely SC7 sedan and a Geely LC Cross compact hatchback on a tour around the town of Borisov. After that he got behind the wheel of the new crossover Geely EX7 and took it for a spin in a special testing area that resembles off-road conditions as closely as possible. On the whole, the President was satisfied with the performance of the cars. Alexander Lukashenko remarked that Geely SC7 is a rather fitting car for rookie drivers and spoke very highly about the other two models he had tested. After the test drive the President instructed the government to come up with a system to encourage Geely car sales on the home market.

The cars were made by the Belarusian-Chinese car manufacturing enterprise SZAO BelGee. The company now uses manufacturing premises of Borisov-based OAO Avtogydrousilitel to assemble cars. The enterprise assembles Geely SC7 (sedan), Geely EX7 (crossover), and Geely LC Cross (compact hatchback). Last year the enterprise assembled about 2,500 cars.
