The Geely Yuanjing X1 is a mini CUV produced by Chinese manufacturer Geely Auto slotting below the Geely Yuanjing X3. In 2020, Geely phased out the mini hatchback.
As Crossovers and SUVs are being more favored by Chinese people,[1] most Chinese car manufacturers appeared their SUV projects on the market. Geely, relying upon its experience in car manufacturing, released 7 new crossovers and SUVs--Vision SUV, Vision X1, Vision X3, Boyue, Vision S1, Emgrand GS and Emgrand GSe.
Vision X1 is a product that 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]
The 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]
The Vision X1 carries on Geely GX2's supermini CUV car style to ingratiate the post-90s generation. The interior is more stylized with the idea of the dashboard coming from surfboards. The 11.6-inch 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]
