3 Answers
Geely Xingyue is equipped with a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with model numbers JLH3G15TD and JLH4G20TDB respectively. These are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Geely Xingyue is the first product under the Geely brand built on the CMA modular architecture, positioned as a high-end sports SUV and part of Geely's premium series. In terms of body dimensions, the Geely Xingyue measures 4605mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1643mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've driven the Geely Xingyue, which offers a variety of engine options, with two mainstream models: a 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 1.5T version delivers around 160 horsepower and has relatively low fuel consumption, making it quite economical for daily city commuting. The 2.0T version can reach up to 230 horsepower, offering faster acceleration, which is suitable for friends who seek driving excitement. In terms of transmission, the 1.5T usually comes with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, providing smooth and quiet gear shifts with quick response at high speeds. The 2.0T is paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, known for its top-notch smoothness and minimal jerking in traffic jams. Additionally, the car's technical optimizations are excellent, such as the intelligent start-stop function that helps save fuel, and maintenance is not expensive—just regular oil changes. In the long run, the Xingyue's powertrain is highly reliable, and you can drive it for five or six years without major issues. I recommend test-driving it to experience the transmission feel when choosing a car.
After our family bought the Geely Xingyue, it's been a pleasure to drive. The car is equipped with either a 1.5T or 2.0T engine, providing ample power without being fuel-thirsty. In city driving, the fuel consumption is only about 8 liters per 100 kilometers. The 7-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission ensures smooth starts and minimal jerkiness in traffic jams, making it comfortable for my wife and kids in the back seats without causing motion sickness. For long trips, the 2.0T version offers more power, making uphill drives effortless. Regular maintenance is straightforward, and the cost of changing transmission fluid is affordable. I find it very practical for family outings, especially for weekend getaways with luggage, as the engine never feels strained.
