Lynk & Co/Geeley01 SUV

"available UK 2018 £16k". Volvo derivative, etc. Looks great, but £16k ? surely this is wrong.

The distribution-model guff suggests about a 12% cost saving, but that's counter-balanced by the fact you can't easily try before you buy.

The Volvo equivalent, the XC40, will be unveiled at Geneva.

If and when it is on sale for £16k, I suspect that's going to be a fairly basic Dacia-style price-leader, with anything you actually want pushing you up the range. Depreciation is also likely to be horrific, since nobody's going to have a clue what it is - and even then, it'll suffer from the "cheap Chinese tat" stigma.

Some of the suvs coming out of China are very keenly priced and don't look to bad,seen a review from Dubai for on that came in at 15k and had a lot of kit, but it will be the same as with Kia and Hyundai they need to prove themselves to be of decent quality and reliable.
