Geely Boyue PRO with the revised exterior and interior. So far only the outside has some clear shots but the interior is very different from the outgoing X70 based on spy photos.

Available engines are either 1.8T+6AT or a 1.5T+7DCT. Equipment and specs are unknown yet but it's expected to be improved over the existing one. Launch is reported to be Q2 this year in China.

Front looks much better on this new version imo. Very Mazda CX-5 vibes from the grille/headlights. This could end up being the X70 facelift if the agreement of the NL-3 platform extends to this new one as well.

this is great news for me rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
was waiting for a facelift version after knowing how X50 interior would look... really like the gear knob of the X50/boyue and interior layout of the boyue... hopefully same interior design language will be on the X70 facelift...

Based on the leaked info (not sure how real), there are two engine option ie the existing 1.8TGDI 6AT and 1.5T 7 speed DCT. if this is the case, you can test drive both type of engine.

But not sure the ADAS will be offered to which variant. Is it only for Premium model? Will the 1.8TGDI get the Premium variant? So far there is no actual announcement made. Based on the leaked info, only 1.5T will have the Premium variant.

this 1.5T engine is co-develop with Volvo right? since the 1.8T engine is purely by Geely... do you think it would be better in terms of durability?

QUOTE(plain_white @ Jul 10 2019, 10:49 PM)
according to some spy shot, the interior will have some changes compared to current x70. At least the gear stick which look similar to boyue pro. The rest look the same for me

Ya, the rest looks the same, only the gearknob changed... Boyue Pro interior look more sporty while the current one looks dull to me...

Durability not sure but in term of better fc is there as it use 3 cylinder turbo 1.5 engine.  Coupled it with DCT
*
so lesser power output as well? im actually more worried on durability than FC, as i use bout 75% highway-25% city drive... hope DCT wont be like VW which is infamous for its lousy durability...

yes lesser output for 1.5T vs 1.8T. however it will compensate (acceleration wise) with the DCT.
Hopefully the DCT is reliable enough (Hyundai can make it reliable, also as Honda DCT in hybrid) and plus with relatively cheap for maintenance of it. VW DSG maintenance is killing during major services.

okok... thanks for the info... think shall wait for CKD first then... since im not in a hurry...

if not then will wait for them to bring in Xingyue model here biggrin.gif

good .. wait for CKD .. cheaper .. come with 1.5 tebu engine with 7DCT gearbox
*
why good? The DCT gearbox is newly developed right? got any other geely models already using? just scared of durability... later like VW DSG masuk workshop everyday...

im still contemplating whether to get the CBU or wait for CKD... i really prefer the boyue pro interior... hopefully will come as FL or something... but at the same time, scared that CKD quality will be much worst than CBU... hence the dilemma... i dont mind waiting... just hand itchy since current car already paid off...

We can judge the proton local cars in 2019, such as persona, iriz and saga, we know the improvement is essential. Geely is doing a great job on proton. 
By this judgement, we may say the CKD won't be a disappointment, if it could maintain that QC.
*
good to hear this... since X70 is part of Geely bloodline, hopefully they will take extra care on QC... then i guess i will most probably wait for CKD la...

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Sep 12 2019, 10:29 AM)
the dct combo with 1.5T is the new engine to replace the existing 1.8T & 6 gear auto of most geely new model.
considering they designed it under the volvo supervision, hopefully there are no issue for reliability.

however, we still did not know how the maintenance requirement of this DCT. will it need relatively expensive service as per DSG VW? or will it follow Hyundai DCT/ Honda DCT where it is relatively cheaper than VW?
*
hopefully it will be like Hyundai DCT, hardly heard any issues from them... 1st batch of CKD will be end of this year right? then probably i wait for 2nd batch...

so sad that the interior is still the same... was hoping they introduce Premium X with Boyue Pro interior... guess i give it a pass now... imagine few months down the road i will rage when they launch X50 CKD with much more upscale interior, and with ambient lighting, and cheaper sumore...
