And officially launched on October 23, its biggest highlight is the overall improvement of appearance and configuration, which is expected to bring consumers a more luxurious and comfortable driving experience.
In terms of exterior design, the 25 Xingyue L adopts a new design concept, and its most significant change is the replacement of the convex middle grid grille, which not only makes the front face look fuller, but also adds a bit of luxury. Matched by a waterfall-style chrome trim strip and the latest silver Geely badgee, these details have been upgraded to make the front of the new car more visually aggressive.
The design of the side and rear of the body continues the classic elements of the Xingyue L, with smooth lines and tough silhouettes showing the power of the SUV. On this basis, the new car adds 19-inch Xingmang wheels and 20-inch Changfeng multi-spoke sports wheels, with the newly launched blue and green livery, adding more sporty and stylish elements to the Xingyue L. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height are the same as the current model, which are 4,770 mm× 1,895 mm× 1,689 mm, and the wheelbase is 2,845 mm, positioning it as a compact SUV.
In terms of interior, the 25 Xingyue L continues the overall layout of the current model, but through careful adjustment of details, it creates a more high-end and comfortable interior environment. The central control area of the new car is still equipped with a three-dimensional dual screen, with a full LCD instrument and AR-HUD head-up display, which is full of science and technology. In terms of in-vehicle systems, the 2025 Xingyue L will continue to use the same in-car interface as the 2024 Galaxy OS, and it does not seem to be upgraded to the Meizu FlymeAuto system at present. In addition, the new model brings a new surprise in the interior color scheme - the new white interior option caters to the current consumer preference for a simple, fresh style.
At the same time, the design of the sub-instrument panel has also undergone significant changes, with the 25 Xingyue L eliminating a row of traditional physical buttons and replacing them with electronic shift knobs and function control knobs, as well as a wireless charging panel for mobile phones at the rear. According to the information exposed, Xingyue L· Dongfang Yao will also be equipped with seat massage, headrest audio, second-row seat electric adjustment and other comfortable configurations.
It can also be seen from the spy photos that the shift lever of the new car has been replaced with a crystal electronic paddle, which is similar to the style of the Boyue L, which further enhances the luxury feeling in the car. Overall, although there are no subversive changes in the interior adjustment of the 25 Xingyue L, effective efforts have been made to enhance the sense of luxury and practicality, and it is expected to be well received by the market.
In terms of powertrain, the 25 Xingyue L is expected to continue to use the 2.0T turbocharged engine of the current model, which is divided into two versions: high-power and low-power. The high-power version has a maximum power of 175 kW and the low-power version has 160 kW, with peak torques of 350 N· m and 325 N· m, respectively. The powertrain is mated to a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the high-spec model, the 25 Xingyue L will be equipped with BorgWarner's sixth-generation intelligent four-wheel drive system, and all models will be equipped with CDC variable damping suspension as standard.
In terms of the price that consumers are most concerned about, the pricing strategy of the 25 Xingyue L is expected to remain cautious.

Considering the overall improvement of the 25 Xingyue L in terms of exterior design and interior configuration, as well as the key optimization of intelligence and comfort, such a price will make it maintain a strong competitiveness in the compact SUV market.
In the face of competition from hybrid SUVs of joint venture brands, such as RAV4 Rongfang, CR-V and other models, the 24 Xingyue L has shown good market potential with its rich configuration and attractive pre-sale price. In the past August, the Xingyue L sold 17,026 units, ranking fourth among compact SUVs. The launch of the new version of Xingyue L, whether it can make the sales of Xingyue L go to a higher level, is also what everyone is concerned about at present. So do you think that after the new Xingyue L is launched, its sales will be able to exceed 20,000 units per month? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
