Geely mk cross years of release. "Geely MK Cross": reviews of the owners, specifications, manufacturer. Options and prices

MK Cross is made from Toyota Vios, the Japanese version of Yaris. Interior with centrally located instruments and power unit also copy Toyota.

One of the closest "ideological" competitors of "Cross" - Sandero Stepway, the same fake body kit, roof rails, increased ground clearance etc. True, if Stepway's arches are closed with matte plastic, then there is easily scratched chrome on flimsy fasteners, the ground clearance of our car is 175 mm. Nevertheless, the MK Cross's exterior design is quite successful, without controversial details. The same cannot be said about the interior decoration. The price of the car is 389 thousand rubles, for an additional payment of 30 thousand you will receive a leather interior and an electric sunroof.

In our maximum version, the MK Cross is equipped with a sunroof and leather interior. The latter can only be more practical if you are transporting small children or animals - it will be easier to clean the upholstery after them. Otherwise, it is rather a minus. The rough finish already began to bubble with our mileage of several thousand kilometers. The frost has not yet arrived, and it is very unpleasant to sit on the ice seat, unfortunately there is no seat heating here.

If the driver's door slams shut without difficulty, then the passenger has to be applied from the heart - none of my companions could close the door the first time. Judging by the reviews on the Internet, many people have similar problems.

When the door is opened, even with the engine turned off, Geely carefully turns on the emergency light. For a long time the car washer could not understand why I turned it on in the box. Another moment, which even scared me a little the first time, was the actuation of the horn if you start moving with the door unlocked. It seems to me that it would be more logical to make the beeper inside the car, and not outside ... But inside the riders, even the voice acting of the turn signal relay does not distract, as if it does not exist. Another of the originals is the only windshield washer nozzle in the center of the hood.

Previously, MK was equipped with dial gauges, in our version they are completely digital, albeit with primitive graphics. Moreover, the panel itself is recessed deep into the bowels of the console and its indicators are visible only to the driver. In principle, everything is displayed quite clearly, but I am more of a supporter of dial gauges, especially when it comes to a tachometer or a fuel gauge. It's a bit cramped behind the wheel, especially if the passenger on the right claims the armrest. In this case, when switching, you constantly touch him with your elbow.

Backward visibility is hidden by wide struts. Narrow exterior mirrors make you twist your head every time you change. When parking, parking sensors would help out, but the care of its installation should fall on the buyer.

The rear seats are surprisingly roomy, but only for the knees. The head rests on the ceiling, even if you are of a modest stature, and this is especially noticeable in the presence of a hatch. The trunk is too small, you can't put a stroller here, and you can only unlock it from the outside with a key, and the flimsy handle for slamming on our car was broken by someone before us.

MK Cross performed well on the move. The suspension successfully copes with pits, but the shock absorbers (especially on rebound) leave much to be desired - noisy and shaking. The brakes were unimpressive, possibly due to the Dunlop Graspic winter tires. The steering wheel is not very willing to return to zero, you have to help in sharp turns.

The motor does a good job of its duties, it spins cheerfully, but it's too vociferous. The clarity of gear shifting caused criticism, especially tight gears are stuck on an unheated car, sometimes it was possible to turn the rear one only through double squeezing of the clutch. I also noticed a strange glitch: at the moment of gear shifting, when the clutch was squeezed out, the speed suddenly increased ...

On the tested car, the odometer was less than 10 thousand, and at the same time, rust was visible from under the door sills. Having rummaged on the forum, I noted that other owners also complain of poor corrosion resistance. Geely MK Cross owners also complain about expensive parts and fragile but expensive bumpers:

Six months after the purchase, I was fucked in the ass with a VW B4. Even if he could, the bumper was deformed a little, and my Chinese woman had a full rear *****. They tried to pull it out in the service, the metal just breaks.

In general, despite the affordable initial price, the service comes at a pretty penny, our colleague back in 2009 described how much the service costs Geely car MK. Of course, there are non-original parts, if such an expression applies to Chinese manufacturer... Perhaps the new sedan from Geely - Emgrand will be more modern and technologically advanced.

The Geely MK Cross is an off-road version of the hatchback. The Chinese creators have stylized the car as a “crossover” as much as possible. The sporty appearance with elements of aggressiveness and the filling of the car were developed on the basis of the Geely MK-2 car. The company's specialists call the car an excellent option for trips around the bustling city and weekly trips to calm nature.

And although Geely MK Cross has a lot in common with its predecessor, the difference both in the exterior of the car and in the interior is visible to the naked eye. The main features that distinguish the Gili MK Cross from its predecessor are the ground clearance, increased to 17.5 centimeters, new bumpers, stylish wheel disks black (with their help, the creators show the "swiftness and strength" of the car), plastic protective linings, roof rails and additional moldings. These innovations give the Geely MK Cross hatchback an aggressive look.

There have also been some changes in the interior of the car. There are more of them than in appearance cars. Its design emphasizes to some extent the sporty style of the car. Immediately striking are the numerous red inserts in the door trim, steering wheel, seats, gear lever. Steel pads appeared on the pedals. This car has a completely different display. Now, instead of the usual dial gauges, there is a digital speedometer and tachometer, which are red. The center gauges are tilted at the same angle to the driver as the MK-2. Geely's MK Cross bigger size wheels than its predecessor. Basically, the rest is from the tried and true MK-2.

Experts say that due to the increased ground clearance, it is quite comfortable to move on our imperfect city roads by car.

An agile driver can accelerate this hatchback to 100 km / h in 17 seconds.

By the way, this hatchback appeared in the city of Luhao, which is located near Shanghai. This is where the Geely Corporation plant is located. They have been producing the car in China since last year. In our country, the car has been assembled since 2011 in Cherkessk.

Experts point out that this car now has few competitors, the prices of which do not differ much from the cost of the MK Cross. In this class, other players are much more expensive. “Pseudo-crossovers” are now popular with Russian buyers, experts suggest, and Geely MK Cross, which has a good combination of price and consumer qualities, will not be an exception.

Geely MK Cross is a kind of "off-road" version of the city hatchback of the same name. The car received an increased ground clearance of 175 millimeters, which is a record figure for this market segment. So, for example, a Japanese crossover Nissan JUKE separates from the ground by only 5 millimeters more!
