Haha, as a long-time enthusiast following the automotive market, I can confidently tell you that the Geely Xingyue is not a joint venture vehicle. It's a 100% domestically produced car under the Geely brand, wholly owned by a Chinese company. Although Geely did acquire Volvo, the Xingyue model is a genuine fusion of Chinese and Western design, developed by the domestic team and manufactured in Chinese factories. I think domestic cars are getting more and more impressive these days. This SUV, the Xingyue, is quite stylish in both performance and appearance, and it's also affordably priced. Unlike those joint venture cars, which have to split profits and costs additionally. In short, it's a pure domestic product, and supporting domestic goods is never wrong.
From my understanding of automotive brands, the Geely Xingyue is definitely not a joint venture vehicle. Joint venture cars are typically produced by Sino-foreign cooperative enterprises, such as models manufactured in China by Volkswagen or Toyota. Geely is an independent Chinese brand that wholly owns all its vehicle series. As one of its models, the Xingyue is entirely a product of Geely's own research and development, with no foreign equity involvement. Although Geely has incorporated some foreign expertise in technology and design, the core manufacturing is rooted domestically. In terms of cost-performance ratio, the Xingyue is indeed more affordable than many joint venture SUVs, and its quality is reliable.
