The Geely Jiaji (Chinese: 吉利嘉际) is a compact MPV built by Chinese manufacturer Geely Auto as the company's first MPV. The concept named "VF11" was shown at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show.[2] The Jiaji provides L2-level automatic driving, intelligence pilot and RCW system.[3] The Geely Jiaji officially went on sale on March 11, 2019.[4]
Overview

Geely Jiaji was named VF11 under development. The Jiaji is the first MPV by the Chinese manufacturer. It is based on a Geely-developed CV platform. As the Jiaji officially went on sale on March 11, it proved to be a hit with over 3,000 units sold in its first month.[5]
For the Chinese market, the Geely Jiaji is available with either a 1.- litre engine with a Plug-In-Hybrid system or a 1.8-litre turbo engine. The 1.5-litre mild hybrid (MHEV) turbo petrol version Jiaji outputs 190 PS and 300 Nm, powering the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) automatic transmission.[6]
Jiaji Platinum Edition (2021)
[edit]
A facelift variant called the Jiaji Platinum Edition was launched in September 2021 featuring redesigned grilles. The Jiaji Platinum Edition is powered by a 1.8-litre Turbo engine producing 183 hp (135 kW) and 300N·m mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) automatic transmission.[7]
Jiaji L (2022-)
[edit]From late 2022 or the 2023 model year, the Jiaji received a major makeover called the Jiaji L. The Jiaji L is longer at 4,826 mm, a full 120 mm extra compared to the original Jiaji, and has a slightly lower height of 1,695 mm, 5 mm higher compared to the regular Jiaji while retaining the same width at 1,909 mm and wheelbase of 2,805 mm. For the interior, the Jiaji L also received an updated Galaxy OS infotainment system powered by Geely's E02 system-on-chip while still retaining a 12.3-inch touchscreen, with the digital instrument cluster upgraded from seven inches to a 10.25-inch unit. The centre console of the Jiaji L features a simpler design with a longer covered storage cubby with a restyled gear lever, an electronic parking brake, and drive mode selector arranged in a single unit located ahead of an elevated arm rest with additional storage under a tilt-up lid. Seating layouts remains to be in 2-2-2 and 2-3-2 configurations.[8] The Jiaji L powertrain is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 178 hp (181 PS) at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 3,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with front wheel drive across the range. Geely claims a WLTC-rated fuel consumption of 6.9 L/100 km and top speed of 190 km/h.[9]

The Maple 80V EV sold under the Maple and later Livan brand is based on the Geely Jiaji with the exterior body being essentially a rebadge of the Geely MPV. The Maple 80V is Maple's second model. It is Geely's first product to feature replaceable batteries and can replace batteries at battery swap stations. In terms of power, the ternary lithium battery pack of the Maple 80V comes from Hefei Guoxuan High-Tech. The motor of the 80V has a rated power of 40 kW (54Ps) and a maximum speed of 130 km/h.[10]
During the 2020 China International Intelligent Industry Expo, Geely Technology Group released the battery swap stations. Geely announced that it plans to complete 35 battery swap stations in Chongqing in 2020, and more than 200 battery swap stations will be completed in Chongqing by 2023.[11]
Livan 8
[edit]Based on the Geely Jiaji L, the Livan 8 is Livan's first global model. The Livan 8 was unveiled at Auto Guangzhou 2024. The Livan 8 is positioned as an all-electric 7-seater MPV. It is available as a standard-range model (50.4 kWh) capable of a 407 km range and as a long-range model (64.7 kWh) offering a range of 515 km.[12]

[edit]The Livan 8 is marketed in Indonesia under the Aletra brand as the Aletra L8, in a result of a joint venture between Livan Automotive and Sinar Armada Globalindo (SAG), where it was sold under the official distributor, Aletra Mobil Nusantara.[13][14] It was revealed on 22 November 2024 at the 3rd Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week during the event's first day.[15] As Aletra's first model, the vehicle shares the same specifications and styling as the Livan 8, while retaining Livan's corporate logo on the front battery charge port door, with an exception of the 'ALETRA' emblem script on the rear trunk lid. The L8 consist of two variants with differing battery packs; base short-range and L8s long-range.
