The Geely Icon was first launched in 2020. The Icon is based on Geely’s BMA platform that also underpins, among others, the Geely Binyue & Proton X50, the Geely Binrui, and the Lynk & Co 06.

The Chocolate Edition comes with different bumpers, lights, grille, and wheels. There are exclusive colors too, including pink and blue, but, oddly, no chocolate brown.

The front is dressed up with a newly designed grille with a matte gray surround and a gray bar inside.

In the rear, the car has silver decorations on the black bumpers, a matte black roof, and the plastic cladding around the wheels & below the doors are matte black too. The shiny gray wheels are exclusive for the Chocolate Edition, featuring a complex design with wide and narrow spokes.

The interior coloring is a mix of two colors called ‘Coffee Chocolate’ and ‘Pure White Chocolate’. 

The dual-screen set-up includes a 10.25 inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3 inch central touch screen. In terms of safety, the Icon Chocolate is equipped with a level 2 driver assistance system that supports lane-departure assist and emergency lane-keeping assist.

The car also comes with a flat bottom steering wheel.

A 1.7㎡ panoramic sunroof is standard on the Icon Chocolate.

The Icon Chocolate comes in two power options: a 177 hp 1.5 turbo and a 181 hp 1.5 turbo+48V mild-hybrid. Transmissions are a 6-speed manual gearbox and/or a 7-speed DCT.
