Geely Xingyue: coupe-style SUV, tech specs and what to know before buying
The Geely Xingyue is a coupe-style compact SUV that debuted in 2019 in China. It goes by different names in international markets, with the newer, stretched version known as the Xingyue L. We'll look at the model's technical foundations and what you need to know if you're considering this car.
Xingyue at a glance
The Xingyue was designed as a Geely model to attract buyers with a higher roofline and a modern interior. The car features a sloping, coupe-style roof, so the boot is slightly less spacious than traditional SUVs, but the rear seats are roomy.
The model is built on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) shared with Volvo's compact models, allowing for all-wheel-drive versions.
How the versions differ
The first-generation Xingyue launched in 2019 and was primarily sold in China. In export markets, it went by different names, such as the Tugella.
In 2021, the stretched Xingyue L version hit the market — in Europe, it's sold as the Monjaro. The Xingyue L is larger, offers more interior space, and has a different technical package, so don't mix up these two models.
Engines and transmissions
The primary engine for the first-generation Xingyue is a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit, producing over 200 hp. It's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and some versions come with all-wheel drive.
Exact power figures and engine codes vary by year and market, so always check the specific car's documents.
What to check when buying a used Xingyue
First, ensure the car is legally registered in Europe. Some cars are imported from Asian markets and may differ from European versions: headlights may function differently, equipment may vary, and maintenance requirements may differ.
Check the operation of the gearbox, the condition of the turbocharger, the electrical and multimedia systems (some versions may only have menus in Chinese) and whether there is an official service history record. The supply of spare parts in Lithuania may be limited.
