Final facelift before CMA-based next-gen model? 2021 Geely Boyue X launching in China soon

Geely is not slowing down one bit. Following the introduction of the redesigned 2021 Geely Binyue facelift a couple of weeks ago – they will be introducing the updated 2021 Geely Boyue X next, better known in Malaysia as the Proton X70.

Sources indicate that the new Boyue X will be launched on 27-August. The new Boyue X could replace the regular Boyue, or could be placed between Boyue and upper rung Boyue Pro.

This is perhaps one of the Boyue’s biggest redesign exercise. The front-end features a massive, black X-theme design. Geely’s signature ‘Expanding Cosmos’ front grille is also nowhere to be found. Rounding off the front-end are deep inserts at the edge of the bumper.

It is also worth noting that this will most likely be the final facelift for the current-generation Geely Boyue, as the next-generation CMA-based replacement model will be launch in the near future.

The rear-end of the new Boyue X can be had with a rear privacy glass and even more trim pieces. Look closely and you can spot a faux spoiler fitted above the tailgate trim with the Geely wording. Moving downwards, the new Boyue X gets a more prominent rear diffuser, with the option of various coloured trim pieces. Other optional bits include smoked tail lights, black roof rails, and a black roof.

And yes, the new Boyue X will also be wearing the same 19-inch alloy wheels like the recently-launched Proton X70 SE.

Powertrain-wise, the upcoming Geely Boyue X is said to get the same turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol engine (184 PS, 300 Nm) like the Proton X70, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. In China, the regular Boyue is fitted with the same 1.8-litre mill like the X70, while the Boyue Pro adds a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine to the mix.

Yesterday’s tabling of Budget 2024 proposed for the current service tax rate of 6 percent to be increased to 8 percent. The scope of the new service tax will also be expanded to include logistics, meaning that the cost to transport finished cars and automotive parts will be higher next year.

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer.
