So, according to the publication, the Geely Atlas crossover has lost the front-wheel drive version, which, however, should soon return to sale, but with a less powerful engine. Currently, the SUV is available only in an all-wheel drive version with a two-liter 200-horsepower engine at a price starting from 3.76 million rubles.

Finally, according to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Bestune T77 crossover was removed from the website due to the imminent appearance of an updated model that will go on sale during 2026.
