To call the Geely Xingyue L a Chinese Volvo is not very farfetched considering that it is sitting on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform and is powered by a Volvo-derived engine. Launched in 2021 and sold overseas as the Geely Monjaro, the 5-seater SUV was recently given an update in China. The changes are very minor with a new Frosted Grey colour offered as well as new headlight and taillight designs. There are two variants for the 2023 model which are priced between RMB 157,700 and

When Proton entered its partnership with Geely back in 2017, the Geely Jiaji MPV was one of the models that was speculated to wear a Proton badge, alongside the Proton X70 / Geely Boyue. Further cementing that notion was that Proton trademarked the V70 name, which some people speculated could be the name for the MPV. As a brief recap, the Geely Jiaji is a C-segment SUV that offers 6- or 7-seater options, as well as a range of turbocharged and mild-hybrid (MHEV) powertrains. In China, the Geely J

The Proton Exora is the oldest new car model that is still on sale in Malaysia. It was first launched in 2009 but despite being nearly 15 years old, Proton has no successor planned for its sole MPV model. When Geely took a 49.9 percent stake in Proton in 2017, the Geely Jiaji (VF11) was listed as among the three models that Proton has secured intellectual property rights to. The other two were the Geely Boyue (Proton X70) and Geely Binyue (SX11, which we know as the Proton X50). Proton is now in

So, another year older, another year marked with interesting (or forgettable) cars, and we'll be doing it all over again next year. SUVs will undoubtedly continue to play a greater focus here, so in this article – part one of three – we'll look at the possible non-luxury, non-EV SUVs that are very likely to launch in Malaysia in 2023. Hang on to your downpayments, we're going straight in... 2023 Chery Omoda 5 We'll start off with a bang, perhaps the most awaited-for model in this list. It's alre

Still nursing its wounds from the fallout with Nissan following the Carlos Ghosn saga, Renault is now back in the dating scene and is now going into bed with China’s Geely, while remaining married to Nissan. It’s complicated. Geely now owns 34.02 percent of Renault Korea Motors, formerly known as Renault Samsung Motors, the company that developed the second generation A32 Cefiro and the N16 Sentra for Nissan, to be sold in Asian markets. In recent times, Samsung-badged Renault cars have not been

Following the debut of the Geely Binyue Cool and its new 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine, Geely has fitted this new power unit into the Jiaji, creating the 2022 Geely Jiaji L in the process. The Jiaji L is the second Geely model to get this new engine. In China, the new 2022 Jiaji L is priced between CNY 119,800 (~RM 78.8k) to CNY 142,800 (~RM 94k). For those keeping track, prices are unchanged compared to the 1.8-litre model. Codenamed BHE15-EFZ, this new turbocharged 1.5-litre 4-cylin
