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

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

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’

This handsome multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that you see here is the Geely Jiaji, a model that could potentially be a replacement to the ageing Proton Exora - not in terms of product positioning, but rather a spiritual replacement. What is the Geely Jiaji? Introduced in March 2019, the Geely Jiaji is a brand-new MPV. We sampled one during our visit to Guangzhou some time last year and found it to be a rather compelling upgrade to the ageing Proton Exora. Is the Proton V70 name confirmed? Proton tr

This is the Geely Jiaji, which made its debut back in March 2019. It is safe to say that the Geely Jiaji is set to be Proton's next multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). Depends on who you ask, the Geely Jiaji may or may not replace the Proton Exora. We are more inclined to believe in the latter, as the Geely Jiaji is a more premium product that's unlikely to fit within the current Proton Exora's price range. But before we get started on this review, we must stress the fact that the China market Geely Ji
