Can the Geely Xingyue L shift manually?

Geely Xingyue L cannot shift manually. The Geely Xingyue model does not have a manual transmission variant. Principle of manual transmission: A car that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust speed. That is, the gear shift lever must be manually moved to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, altering the transmission ratio to achieve speed change. The gear shift lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. Advantages of manual transmission: Drivers can save fuel by selecting the appropriate gear. The commonly mentioned fuel efficiency of mechanical transmission cars is due to their higher transmission efficiency, which reduces transmission losses. Driving a manual transmission car requires higher driving skills, and proper and timely gear selection is necessary to truly save fuel.
The Geely Xingyue L indeed supports manual shifting, which excites me as a car enthusiast. I've driven this car several times, and it comes equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with convenient paddle shifters on the steering wheel. A light flick while driving switches it to manual mode. For those like me who enjoy pursuing driving control, it's simply perfect—manually downshifting on mountain roads or curves delivers more direct engine response and exhilarating acceleration. Modern vehicles incorporate this feature mainly to enhance driving pleasure without compromising the convenience of daily automatic mode. I recommend new owners try this mode more—it's quick to master and safe. Geely's design for the Xingyue L is thoughtful; manual shifting isn't just a gimmick but genuinely enhances the overall experience. Next time you take it out, remember to give it a try—you'll definitely fall in love with that sense of control.
