2019 Geely Jia Ji 1.5TD MHEV Engine Specs

While the Geely Jiaji was among the three Geely models to be officially licensed by Proton following the Malaysian carmaker’s new Chinese ownership in 2017, P1 has since scrapped the idea for an all-new MPV model. However, it seems that the Jiaji could be making its Southeast Asian debut without Proton’s help. A brand-new company called Aletra Cars Indonesia recently posted a teaser via social media as well as job postings on LinkedIn. The company’s bio on its Instagram page mentioned that it is

With the discontinuation of the Proton Exora, the Proton X90 has essentially become the MPV’s indirect replacement in the 3-row vehicle segment. Still, P1’s parent has a suitable candidate to succeed the Exora in the form of the Geely Jiaji. The VF11 Jiaji has been on sale in China since 2019 and saw an extensive makeover in 2022 with a new design and a tweaked name, the Jiaji L. However, sales of the Jiaji have been abysmal even in MPV-crazy China with only a mere 538 units sold in the first ha

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

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

Proton is set to launch a new 7-seater MPV model in Malaysia in Q4 2022, if claims by Proton supplier JHM Consolidation Bhd, which makes LED lighting and audio visual systems for Proton, is to be believed. Note that Proton has not said anything about its next new model, and the following are claims made by JHM, in a recent interview with The Edge. The business publication reported that JHM had signed a technical collaboration agreement with Jiangsu Dekai Auto Parts Co Ltd (Dekai) last month, to

Geely recently delivered 30 units of the Geely Jiaji to the Gouyang County Public Security Bureau in Anhui in a small handover ceremony. The Geely Jiaji police vehicles will assist the Guoyang County police to maintain public order and upkeep peace. This isn’t the first time the Geely Jiaji has undergone such duties, as Geely deployed 169 units of the Jiaji during the initial outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in China earlier this year, assisting front-liners with their duties. To recap, the Gee

If you're looking for a 7-seater family MPV, you could do much better than the aging Proton Exora. Really, in the 11 years that it's been on sale, things never really changed much - it's always had passé looks, dated features and a thirsty, tired powertrain. Possibly the only good thing about the Exora is how about much space you get for the price - 7-seats starting at RM 59,800? Where else can you find that? But that's about it, and Proton desperately needs a new MPV to be competitive in this s

The 7-seater C-segment Geely Jiaji is billed as a more upscale model to replace the ageing Proton Exora (on the market since 2009). Our recent posts on the yet to be confirmed Proton V70 (Geely Jiaji) have spurred a lot of conversations. In fact, interest in the Geely Jiaji have taken a life of its own, as netizens have took it upon themselves to unofficially name the car on behalf of Proton, making ‘Proton V70’ a trending keyword on Google searches. While Proton have trademarked the V70 name, t

Both the Proton X70 and Proton X50 have steered the domestic car maker to a fresh and new direction. Proton has actually registered a few interesting model names back in 2018, and one of them is the Proton V70 name. If the “X” letter has been used to name crossover models, the “V” letter might just be used to name MPV or van-like models. Proton has told its investment partners that a new Geely-based model is due for 2021. The model of the car is yet to be confirmed. However, if we look at Geely’
