Are the Three Major Components of the Xingyue from Volvo?

The three major components of the Xingyue are produced by Volvo. Below is a related introduction about the Geely Xingyue: Model Overview: The Geely Xingyue, as the first product of the Geely brand built on the CMA modular architecture, is positioned as a high-end sports SUV, belonging to the premium series of the Geely brand. It features the Zhiqing 2.0T turbocharged engine + Aisin 8AT strong sports performance, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.8 seconds. The Xingyue is a high-end sports SUV and Geely's new flagship SUV established with technology. Model Features: The leather seats and the driver-centered sports cockpit create a sense of sportiness. The inclined dashboard for the driver, the flat-bottomed racing steering wheel, and the co-driver side armrest all reflect the performance flavor.
I've worked on many domestic cars, and the Xingyue's three major components are indeed related to Volvo. After Geely acquired Volvo in 2010, they developed the CMA platform. The current Xingyue 2.0T high-power version uses Volvo's Drive-E engine, model B4204T30, the same as the XC40, with particularly crisp power response. However, the chassis tuning was redone by Geely themselves, focusing more on comfort—it's noticeably softer over speed bumps compared to Volvo. The transmission shares the Aisin 8AT, but the shift logic has been optimized for Chinese road conditions. It's like using imported flour to make Chinese pastries—the recipe is still domestic. I highly recommend the 2.0T version, as it shares more core components. When buying, check the configuration sheet carefully—the base 1.5T three-cylinder engine is Geely's own development, with a completely different technical approach.
