Geely Confirms Australia‑Focused 4x4 Ute, Targeting 2028–2029 With Hybrid Power

Overview

• Geely Australia CEO Alex Gu said Monday the company is developing a heavy‑duty dual‑cab 4x4 for local sale in 2028 or 2029.
• The ute will launch with plug‑in hybrid power rather than a petrol‑ or diesel‑only engine.
• Engineers are assessing a live rear axle and other suspension layouts to handle Australian towing and off‑road use.
• A 3.0‑litre twin‑turbo V6 hybrid from Horse, the Geely–Renault engine venture, is under consideration.
• The program targets rivals such as the BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha as Geely treats Australia as a priority market.
