Does the Xingyue have CarPlay?

[SimonLynn]

Xingyue has CarPlay, which can only connect to Apple phones and not Android phones. Introduction to CarPlay: CarPlay is a car system released by Apple that connects to the iPhone via USB. Currently supported functions include navigation, music, making and receiving calls, text messages, podcasts, and audiobooks. All functions in CarPlay are linked to the phone, and all operations can be input through Siri. CarPlay Features: Navigation function: Currently, CarPlay navigation does not support third-party apps and only supports Apple's built-in navigation (default is Amap). Both the phone and CarPlay can search for destinations and enter the navigation interface. Music playback function: If the owner's phone is an iPhone, the songs in it can be played directly.

I previously owned a Geely Xingyue, and it was quite impressive. It indeed supports CarPlay functionality in certain models, especially the newer or higher-end versions, such as those post-2022. This system connects an iPhone via the USB port, displaying navigation and music apps on the car's screen, and operates very smoothly. However, not all models come with it—lower-end or older versions may not have CarPlay pre-installed, so it's advisable to check the vehicle manual or inquire at a 4S store about upgrade options. I also noticed that the screen responds quickly after connection, reducing distractions from phone operation while driving, which is particularly beneficial for owners who frequently travel long distances. If CarPlay can be added when choosing a car, I would highly recommend this feature—it significantly enhances the driving experience, making it more enjoyable to listen to music or use navigation with a good sound system. In short, verify if your Xingyue version is compatible before trying it out.

As a frequent driver, I'm deeply impressed by the CarPlay feature in the Xingyue. It supports many configurations, allowing me to control Spotify or Apple Maps directly in the car after connecting my iPhone, saving me the hassle of taking out my phone. The operation is simple—just plug in the cable—and the screen clarity is high, making it easy to glance at directions while driving, especially useful in congested urban areas. Of course, some base models may not have it as standard, depending on the specific year and model. I think this feature performs exceptionally well in the Geely Xingyue, and it feels smoother compared to Android Auto. I recommend trying it out during a test drive to ensure compatibility with your phone. If it has CarPlay, your daily commute will be much more comfortable, with fewer distractions and more safety.

During my car comparison test drive, I tried the Xingyue and found that some of its models come equipped with CarPlay functionality, especially as a standard feature in the top-tier version. Once connected, it allows direct control of navigation, phone calls, and more through the vehicle's system, which is much safer than staring at a phone. However, lower trim models might not have this option, so it's advisable to check the configuration list carefully. Compared to other SUVs like the Changan CS75, the Xingyue's CarPlay integration is more stable. Overall, it offers a great experience and is worth recommending.

As an advocate for safe driving, I've noticed that the CarPlay feature in my Xingyue greatly enhances driving safety. It supports many models and allows phone maps and controls to be transferred to the car's display, reducing the risk of looking down at the phone. The voice assistant responds quickly, and the navigation is precise, which is especially important during rainy or foggy weather. Remember to update the system to ensure compatibility and avoid connection issues. This small feature can significantly improve the sense of security during daily driving.
