Failure Rate of Geely Vision X3

[ZacharyDella]

Geely Vision X3 has a relatively low failure rate, with the most common issue reported by owners being insufficient power leading to stalling. Below is an introduction to the Geely Vision X3: 1. Exterior: It features a family-style front grille with a chrome-decorated mesh, full-bodied lines, and a robust bumper that enhances the front's dynamic appearance. The body is compact but harmonious, with a rear bumper design that exudes a sense of sportiness. 2. Interior: Staying true to Geely's family style, despite its affordable price, the interior design is quite upscale. Due to cost constraints, most materials used are hard plastics. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 102Ps, a maximum power of 75kW, and a maximum torque of 141N·m. The power is adequate for city driving but may feel insufficient when climbing hills or under full load.

I'm a used car appraiser and have handled no less than twenty Geely Vision X3s. Here's the thing: the base model with a manual transmission actually has fewer issues. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is the same as the old Emgrand's—as long as you change the oil on time, it can run 100,000 km without the cylinder head gasket leaking. But automatic transmission owners should be cautious. The early models used a Punch CVT transmission, which has noticeable cold-weather protection issues in winter, and I've seen three or four cases of valve body trouble codes. The chassis bushings are prone to aging within three or four years, and squeaking over speed bumps is a common problem, but it can be fixed by spending 300 yuan on aftermarket parts. As for electronics, there are quite a few complaints about the power window regulators—they occasionally stick on rainy days, but a spray of WD-40 can help. Overall, it's a bit better than the Baojun 510 and decent enough for daily commuting.

I've been driving the Geely Vision X3 for almost five years, commuting 50 kilometers daily in the city. The most troublesome issues are the electric power steering and ABS sensors. Right after the warranty expired, the steering became heavy. The 4S shop said the whole assembly needed replacement, but a roadside repair shop fixed it by reprogramming for just 300 yuan. The ABS warning light often comes on for no reason. The mechanic said it's caused by iron filings on the wheel speed sensors, and cleaning them solves the problem. The air conditioning compressor is quite delicate - my colleague had to replace two in three years. However, the engine is really durable. Once I left the headlights on and drained the battery, but it started right up after a jump. I recommend not installing a large-screen navigation system as the original wiring can't handle it and tends to blow fuses. After I removed mine, the number of malfunctions dropped by half.

From the perspective of an experienced repair shop master: This car's chassis mimics the old Toyota Vios, but the suspension bushings are as thin as crackers and need replacement every 30,000 kilometers. I've seen several cars with water pump leaks—when the coolant drops to the lower limit, the temperature warning light comes on. The generator regulator is prone to failure; if the battery keeps losing charge, check this first. The fuel pump's pressure relief valve has a design flaw, causing occasional difficulty in cold starts, sometimes requiring two or three attempts. The sheet metal seams rust quickly, especially around the rear wheel arches. However, replacing a Bosch oxygen sensor costs just over 200 yuan, and parts are 70% cheaper than Japanese brands. I fix seven or eight of these a month, and they're less troublesome than Zotye models.
