Why was the Geely S1 discontinued?
2 Answers
Geely S1 has not been discontinued. The Geely Vision S1 is a compact SUV launched by Geely Auto, and this model is more like a crossover SUV. Here is the related introduction of Geely S1: 1. Exterior: This car adopts a family-style design, and its appearance is very similar to the Emgrand GS. The overall design style and body dimensions are also quite similar. The front face of the car features the signature Geely family-style design. 2. Body: In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4465/1800/1535mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2668mm. The wheelbase of this car is not particularly outstanding among its peers. Due to the fastback design, the rear seating and trunk space are slightly inferior to traditional compact SUV models. 3. Interior: The interior of the car adopts a new generation of family-style design, with a very simple and stylish overall layout. The center console display is embedded, and the addition of a semi-digital instrument panel enhances the car's technological feel, meeting the needs of young consumers.
I heard the discontinuation of Geely S1 was mainly due to poor market performance. As a compact SUV, it initially gained some popularity upon launch, but over time, intensifying competition and newer models like the Boyue became more favored. The S1's ambiguous positioning led to declining consumer interest. I think automakers often do this - when a model underperforms, they discontinue it to reallocate resources to new models. With the current strong momentum of electric vehicles, Geely is also promoting brands like Geometry, possibly shifting focus. But honestly, this seems unfair to existing owners as aftermarket parts may become hard to find. My suggestion for those considering Geely is to focus on their current lineup.
