In the years when Geely became popular, the title of "first brother" was almost always worn on its head, especially every time Geely launched a model with a higher positioning, it would cause an uproar in the market. The Geely Xingyue L to be seen here is one of them, which has Volvo power technology and was developed using Volvo's leading CMA platform, and was once considered to be the "top stream of autonomous SUVs". It is also because of this reason that it is still in the top five of the same class in Geely's sales statistics in the first 4 months of this year, except for Honda CR-V, which is a new energy SUV. So, such a powerful best-selling car, for our average family, will there be economic pressure to raise?

The waistline of the vehicle will be relatively straight, starting from the headlights, it will pass above the door handles, enter the upper edge of the taillights, and form a ducktail structure on the lower windshield. At the same time, although the rear bumper is not a substantial air duct, it uses chrome plating to surround it into a through-channel design, which gives people a high-grade and imposing feeling as a whole.
