4 reasons the Geely Coolray fits the young pros

In the modern work setting, young professionals are often the type of people who are always on the go. Sure, most are dedicated to their work, but some have become the type to juggle multiple life roles, being a parent, a passionate hobbyist, social butterflies who like to meet up with friends/family, or even taking up higher education. 

In the context of the chaotic state of local traffic, however, this can become a challenge for the mind and body. As such, many have turned to cars like the Geely Coolray for their reliability and versatility. This is apparent from the sheer number of Coolray units already running around in cities like Metro Manila. 

But why the Coolray? Why is it so well-suited for the busybody who has started to ramp up in his or her lifebuilding journey? Let’s find out here.

A bubble of comfort amid the concrete jungle

It is clear that young professionals, whether in blue- or white-collar settings, have the short end of the stick when it comes to traveling. Some opt for motorcycles, bicycles, and public transport, which do have their own advantages. But when the time comes that you’ll have the chance to buy a car, the Coolray clearly has a leg up when it comes to keeping you comfortable while being stuck in traffic. 

For starters, the Geely Coolray’s interior is a stylish, well-arranged cocoon with sufficiently cushioned leather-upholstered seats, automatic climate controls, and a panoramic sunroof. These are amenities that ensure that its occupants are physically at ease, even as the roads devolve into mayhem during rush hours. 

Then again, the cockpit of the Geely-made crossover goes beyond those and actually adds flavor to your life with its rhythmic ambient lighting system and sporty-feeling leather steering wheel, electronic gear shifter, and 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. The aforementioned components help the driver feel more like a pilot and less like a trapped soul inside a metal cage. 

Other noteworthy creature comforts available to the Geely Coolray include, but are not limited to: 

• Power-adjustable driver’s seat with ventilation
• Rear air-conditioning vents
• Wireless smartphone charging
• 10.25-inch infotainment system
• Power tailgate

Notably, the power tailgate will see great use from young professionals who need a conveniently accessible trunk. Those with families will also be pleased with this feature when one has to unload school bags or a week’s worth of groceries. 

Keeping you safe on your journeys

As a person who just started or is already working their way up in their respective careers, physical safety is a huge factor. This is also true for those already taking care of little ones (yes, this includes pets), since being absent from their lives due to unforeseen circumstances (accidents) simply won’t do. 

For this, the Geely Coolray comes with a decent amount of safety gear. For its basic kit, the model comes with anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, hill-hold control, hill-descent control, a cruise control system, and a total of six airbags. 

The aforementioned are combined with an automatic parking assist system, which may be a huge help for those who newbie drivers who are just getting the hang of parking. 

We likewise say that “prevention is better than any cure,” so the Coolray also gets a blind-spot detection system - great for staving off light fender benders when going through slow traffic, and highly advantageous in keeping one in the clear on speedier expressways or highways. 

Appropriate amount of stylishness

Some people like immaculately restored classic cars, and some like sharp and aggressive sports cars. Others go for the tough and rugged look of a sport utility vehicle and a pickup truck. But in the case of the Geely Coolray, it has just the right amount of pizzazz for a young professional.

Specifically, the model is a modern crossover that catches the eye, but at the same time, would perfectly suit someone who works in the city. Sure, it isn’t as fancy as luxury cars, but the said model doesn’t scream “look at me,” while having the right amount of eye-candy to be admired. 

Key to the Geely Coolray’s good looks is its expansive front grille that’s flanked by an eye-catching pair of LED headlamp clusters. From the side, the Coolray exposes its sleek profile that’s further enhanced by a two-tone color scheme, with a black roof that can be combined with the following options: 

• Purple Prism
• Blur Gray
• Bolt White
• Fireblast Red
• Voltaic Teal

Over towards the rear, the Geely Coolray ups the ante for a bit thanks to its rakishly designed roof-mounted spoiler. This goes together with a hefty-looking rear diffuser, a quad pipe exhaust setup, and an LED taillight bar. 

In summary, the Coolray’s exterior digs makes up for a great-looking crossover. Its exterior, however, goes beyond just style, and it actually has some useful features that will make it less stressful to drive every day in the city. 

For one thing, the model comes with power-folding and adjustable side mirrors, making it easier to stow away in tight public parking spots, like those commonly found in malls and offices. The said feature likewise makes the ride easier to fit into smaller townhouses and condominium parking slots. 

Moreover, the vehicle gets a total of 180 millimeters of ground clearance - useful for dealing with the humongous speed bumps that are spread around areas like Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and many other business districts. 

And of course, the LED lighting fixtures on the Coolray go beyond making it look great, but instead are crucial for enhancing visibility (for you and for others on the road), especially when getting back home from very late night shifts. 

When driving is a stress reliever

We already established that the Geely Coolray offers the right balance of comfort, style, and safety for a busy young professional. 

Sometimes, however, hard workers need some stress relief, and more than a few do this by simply driving. This applies to weekend sojourns outside the metro, or even short late-night jaunts inside the city when the traffic clears up a bit. 

The Coolray can provide “driving as a form of stress relief” in spades, as it is actually as peppy as it looks. 

Obviously, we’re not talking about speeding here, but the Geely nameplate’s 1.5-liter turbocharged engine can dish out 171 horsepower and 290 Newton-meters of torque. Those figures mean effortless highway cruising, and enough oomph when you need it to perform overtakes. 

Within reasonable speeds, the Geely Coolray is likewise very engaging to drive on curvy backcountry roads. For one thing, its seven-speed wet-type dual clutch automatic transmission is responsive, and its front MacPherson strut and rear semi-independent torsion beam suspensions have balanced tunings to make the ride fun but stable.
