As with all our products, L380 takes inspiration from the company’s rich history, combined with the vast resources and technical innovation of the Geely Holding Group. It is full of exquisite details and delightful touches, combining space-efficient design with premium quality, raising the bar for multi-purpose vehicles.
The innovative SOA technology on which L380 sits spearheads our exciting new strategy that will see the business take a global approach, growing our footprint across the world. We aim to have a presence in over 40 countries in the coming years, with multiple new models based on the SOA platform leading the way.”
Crafted to perfection, the L380 merges airy, sophisticated space with premium materials, drawing inspiration from the realm of luxury airline travel. It features seating for up to eight passengers, featuring flexible first-class style chairs draped in semi-aniline leather. Need a nap on the go? Simply flip down the seats for a cosy sleeping experience.
