Geely Yuanjing X1: a compact crossover hatchback
Geely Yuanjing X1 (Vision X1) — the compact crossover hatchback launched in 2017 and produced until 2020. We look at what makes it special and what you need to know if you come across one.
Yuanjing X1 in brief
The X1 was Geely's smallest crossover model, positioned below the Yuanjing X3. Previously, it was known as the Emgrand V01. It hit the market in May 2017, with production ending in 2020.
It's based on the Geely Panda platform, so it's very compact.
What sets it apart
The X1 is aimed at younger buyers: crossover styling, bold colours, and compact dimensions. The interior is more modern than was typical for this class of car at the time.
It's not a family car — the rear seats and boot are cramped.
Engine and gearbox
The X1 came with a small petrol engine paired with a manual or automatic gearbox. We don't list the exact power output in this article, as it varied by version and market.
When buying, check the specific car's engine and gearbox against the documents.
What to check when buying
First, make sure the car has the documents needed for registration and that spare parts are available.
Inspect the body and plastic trim, suspension, engine operation, and electronic systems.
