Livan X3 Pro: a compact crossover with Geely technology, engine, and buying advice
The Livan X3 Pro is a small crossover that Livan (a Geely Group brand) sells based on the Geely Yuanjing X3 Pro. We explain where this model comes from, what engine it has, and what you need to know if you come across one in the used market.
X3 Pro in brief
The Livan X3 Pro is a subcompact crossover with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. It's a rebadged version of the Geely Yuanjing X3 Pro: the refreshed Yuanjing X3 Pro was unveiled in China in April 2021, and in May 2022 it went on sale as the Maple X3 Pro — the first pure petrol model of the revived Maple brand.
Later, the Maple brand was merged with Livan, and the X3 Pro was sold in export markets, including Russia, under the Livan name. It's not officially sold in Lithuania, so it's rare in the used market.
Origin and related models
The base for the Yuanjing X3 is the Geely Englon SC5-RV, a platform that has been in use for around a decade. Electric variants based on this platform include the Kandi EX3 and Geometry EX3.
So, you might need to look for parts and information under the Geely Yuanjing X3 Pro name. Differences between Livan and Geely versions are mostly cosmetic, but check the exact specification in the car's documents.
Engine and transmission
The Yuanjing X3 Pro has a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with around 102 hp. It's a simple, low-power unit best suited to city driving and short trips.
The Chinese version comes with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). For precise details on the Livan X3 Pro's engine and gearbox, check the specific vehicle's documents.
What to check when buying an X3 Pro
First, find out how the car was imported and whether it can be legally registered in the EU. There's no official representative in Lithuania, so warranty and parts supply may be limited.
Inspect the body, suspension, and brakes. Check if the multimedia screen, air conditioning, and electrical equipment work. Since the model is fairly new, there's little long-term reliability data, so scrutinise the history and service records carefully.
Trim levels
Trim names and equipment vary by market and year; we don't list European market trims here.
