Geely Xingrui (Preface): a mid-size sedan and what to know
The Geely Xingrui is a mid-size four-door sedan with a coupe-like roofline, known as the Preface in export markets. We'll look at what makes it special, its mechanics, and what to check if you're bringing one to Lithuania.
The Xingrui in brief
The Xingrui is a roughly 4.8m long four-door model with a sloping roofline reminiscent of a coupe. The name 'Xingrui' is used in China, while in some other markets the car is called the Preface.
The model was introduced around 2020-2021. It's not officially sold in Lithuania, so it's usually a private import.
What sets it apart
The Xingrui stands out with its dynamic looks and generous equipment. The interior is modern, with large screens, and there's enough space for four adults.
Buyers see it as an affordable alternative to mid-size sedans from well-known manufacturers. However, depreciation and parts availability are significant drawbacks.
Engines and transmissions
The Xingrui is most often equipped with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, with around 190hp. This power is sufficient for spirited driving.
The transmission is a dual-clutch automatic (DCT). It's front-wheel drive. Later versions also came with other engine options.
What to check when buying a Xingrui
Firstly, the paperwork and whether the car can be registered in the EU. Check where you'll get parts and qualified servicing.
Try out the DCT gearbox — it should shift smoothly and change gears without any hesitation. Check the turbo engine, suspension and body condition.
There are plenty of electronic features, so check the screens, cameras and parking sensors.
