Also, consumer preferences and opinions vary from individual to individual, and some people may have a positive perception of these models.

When evaluating car models, it is important to consider factors such as individual needs, budget constraints and intended use. Despite the difficulties faced by these particular models, the Geely brand has shown a willingness to grow and improve, and aims to correct the shortcomings of previously released cars in subsequent models.
