Borui GE

Erik, how much truth is there in the claim that the Borui GE is based on the CMA architecture? Numerous articles (like this, or search "吉利博瑞GE"+CMA) turn up which claim the Borui GE is based on the CMA architecture but I am a little skeptical about this. However, here is another article that debunks the claim and says the powertrain setup is adopted from CMA but the platform is KC, like the standard Borui.

2020 Geely Borui GE

On August 19, 2019, 2020 Geely Borui GE (Geely Emgrand GT) was officially launched in China market. 2020 Geely Borui GE offers 8 trims with 3 kinds of powertrains, price ranges from 136,800-209,800 yuan. Compared with the outgoing models, the 2020 Geely Borui GE added a new power combination of 1.8T engine + 6AT.




Geely Borui GE was known as Geely Emgrand GT in some countries outside China.Geely Borui GE is the flagship sedan in Geely lineup, it was formerly knowns as Geely Borui, based on Geely Borui, the Borui GE redesign with a fastback style, update in interior to further enhance its technical sense. Geely Borui GE is based on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, this is also the most different with Geely Borui (which was based on KC platform).


As an annual redesigned model, the appearance of the 2020 Geely Borui GE is basically the same as outgoing model. The family-style front grille has brought a very high degree of recognition. But on this basis, the 2020 Geely Borui GE has been replaced with a new blackened badge. In terms of body size, the 2020 Geely Borui GE has a length and width of 4986/1861/1513mm and wheelbase of 2870mm. In addition, a new starry night blue car paint color has been added.

Re: 2020 Geely Borui GE

Geely Borui GE was known as Geely Emgrand GT in some countries outside China.
The Borui, not Borui GE, is known as Geely Emgrand GT in some countries outside China (GCC, CIS).


Geely Borui GE is based on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, this is also the most different with Geely Borui (which was based on KC platform).
Both Borui and Borui GE are based on the KC platform. Borui GE is codenamed KC-2. That the Borui GE is based on CMA is a misconception that has spread much in Chinese media (even the likes of Autohome) and, from there, elsewhere since the introduction of the GE last year. Later (mostly this year), Chinese articles have appeared with the corrected information.

As Geely states: "Development of the KC Platform was carried out jointly by China Euro Vehicle Technology Centre and Geely Research Institute with partial technical support from Volvo Cars" but this is not the same as CMA.
