The Geely Yuanjing X1 is a mini CUV produced by Chinese manufacturer Geely slotting below the Geely Yuanjing X3. In 2020 Geely phased out the mini hatchback.

Background[edit]

As Crossovers and SUV are being more favored by Chinese people,[1] most Chinese car manufacturers appeared their SUV projects on the market. Geely, relying its rich experience in car manufacturing, released 7 new crossover and SUV--Vision SUV, Vision X1, Vision X3, Boyue, Vision S1, Emgrand GS and Emgrand GSe. Vision X1 is a product which divided Geely's market into more meticulous parts. At the same time, X1 made a complete "Vision" Family coexist with the "Bo" family and the "Emgrand" Family. The three families accelerate Geely's motto of "Young" and "Comprehensive".[2]

History[edit]

Former Geely Vision X1 was called Emgrand V01 and was published in early 2017.[3] The Geely Yuanjing X1 was launched on the Chinese car market in May 2017. Price ranges from 39,900 yuan to 57,900 yuan.[4] The Yuanjing X1 is based on the Geely Panda sold from 2009 to 2017.[5][6]

Design[edit]

The Vision X1 carries on Geely GX2's supermini CUV car style to ingratiate the post-90s generation. The interior is more fancy. The idea of the dashboard came from surf boards. The 11.6 inches touchscreen carries Geely's X-FUN system and supports voice control, GPS and Wi-Fi. To activate it, the passenger needs to say "你好远景" (hello, vision). The multi-function steering wheel is able to activate ACC mode, switch driving modes and receive bluetooth calls.[7] The panoramic sunroof is unique since there isn't another supermini CUV with a sunroof, however, the sunroof doesn't open.[8] Vision X1 equips the LingLong Green-Max 175/60 R15 tires. The front axle is equipped with disc brakes and the rear with drum brakes.[9]
