Caocao is Geely’s next sub-brand in China

Geely officially introduced a new electric car in China – Caocao Maple 60. More precisely, there are even two models: 60 and 60 Pro. The second is distinguished by a “superstructure” on the roof, which houses various sensors of the autonomous driving system. It’s symptomatic, and here’s why.

In addition to the Caocao brand itself, Geely has an entire Caocao Mobility division, which provides various services (taxi, car rental and so on) in more than 60 cities in China. The fully autonomous Maple 60 Pro is very useful here. Well, for ordinary users, Maple 60 is suitable.

Maple is translated from English as “maple”, and here you can’t help but compare it with the “leaf” – the Nissan Leaf electric hatchback. Maple 60, of course, looks simpler, but conceptually they are “one field of berries.”

In Maple 60, the emphasis is on interior space and ease of movement. So, for example, there is a rather large trunk with a volume of 500 liters and comfortable seats with adjustable lumbar support both front and rear. Promised a lot of space in the legs and heads of passengers. In general, for a taxi – ideal. Although it is also quite suitable for road trips with the whole family.

Attention is drawn to the design style from the outside (everything is as simple as possible here) and from the inside – minimalistic, but with a heap of lines and docking of various panels at different angles.
