Chinese car, Geely, which plans to unseating Tata Nano as the world's cheapest car with a hatchback based on the historical event itself IG during the Beijing Motor Show recently concluded.
With an expected price somewhere around £ 1.800 - $ 2.700 - IG will replace the Nano, which retails for £ 2.500 ($ 3.800) and is currently the world's cheapest car.
Although this car is relatively poor price tag, the IG concept that we see in Beijing are equipped with a pair of gullwing doors AMG Mercedes-esque SLS, which makes it look a bit awkward considering the size of a little fat. However, according to Geely, the IG, because it's 185mm longer than the Toyota iQ and has a wheelbase 100mm longer too, will be produced as a second vehicle 2. Of course, aspects +2' 'notice to the person sitting in the back.With an expected price somewhere around £ 1.800 - $ 2.700 - IG will replace the Nano, which retails for £ 2.500 ($ 3.800) and is currently the world's cheapest car.
We would be very curious to see the gullwing doors on the production version of IG, but we're afraid that because they're trying to make cars as cheaply as possible, the type of equipment in the car door which will cost approximately $ 3,000 would be nearly impossible.
Geely, which recently bought Volvo from Ford, also claims that the IG, or Intelligent Geely, will be of better quality than the Nano.Although the IG is 185mm longer than the Toyota iQ and sits on a 100mm longer wheelbase, it is billed as a 2+2, with very limited rear space.The concept’s expensive gullwing doors are expected to be deleted in favour of a more conventional design.There’s even a chance that an electric version of the IG will be sold in Europe and the US.
Geely already sells cars in Russia and eastern Europe, and is looking to expand its reach. “The concept has had a very positive reaction, and with the car not launching until 2012 there is time for us to expand our network before then,” said a spokesman.
The Chinese version of the IG will be powered by a 988cc petrol engine developing 70bhp and 69lb ft and driving the front wheels through a five-speed CVT ’box.
