The reason for the discontinuation of the Vision S1 is insufficient market competitiveness. Below are specific details about the Vision S1: 1. Body dimensions: The Vision S1 is positioned as a compact SUV, with a body length of 4465mm, width of 1800mm, height of 1535mm, and a wheelbase of 2668mm. 2. Powertrain configuration: The Vision S1 is equipped with two engine combinations: 1.4T+CVT and 1.5L+5MT. One is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with the code name JLC-4G15, delivering a maximum power of 80kW (109PS). The other is a 1.4T turbocharged engine with the code name JLB-4G14T, producing a maximum power of 98kW (133PS) and a peak torque of 215N·m, which is a new product independently developed by Geely.
As an ordinary car owner who pays close attention to the automotive market, I've heard quite a bit about the discontinuation of the Geely Vision S1. The main reason is probably due to less-than-ideal sales figures. Geely has been rolling out new models at a rapid pace in recent years. The S1 was quite popular when it first launched, but as competition intensified, many other models like the Boyue and Xingyue became more favored. Moreover, the SUV market is fiercely competitive, especially among domestic brands, where product updates and replacements happen very quickly. I suspect Geely is shifting its resources towards new energy vehicles to control costs, as models like the Emgrand series or pure electric product lines are more profitable. If the production costs for the S1 were high and profits slim, discontinuing it is a natural decision. Owners shouldn't worry too much; after-sales services should continue as usual, and spare parts supply will be maintained for some time. However, in the long run, opting for newer models that align with energy efficiency and environmental trends would be a better choice.
