Geely Philippines has unveiled a new, limited-edition variant of the Coolray, which we also know as the Proton X50 and Geely Binyue. Called the Coolray GT Limited Edition, the modified crossover not only gets a sporty makeover, but also more power under the bonnet. Based on the existing Premium variant currently on sale in the Philippines, the GT Limited Edition you see here has a Cloud Blue finish, a hue that is also offered for the Premium and Comfort variants.
The improved aesthetics come courtesy of
front and rear bumper extensions that are made of carbon-fibre, complemented by
running boards and a black-wrapped roof. A set of 19-inch alloy wheels from XXR
–an inch larger than what’s fitted on the top-spec Sport variant – is also
fitted to complete the exterior look.
Engine improvements include a K&N
intake as well as a Drift Xaust catback with carbon-fibre-trimmed exhaust tips.
A tuning chip upgrade will also be offered as an option that increases the
output of the 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine by about 13% from
177 hp to 200 hp. To match the added grunt, the GT Limited Edition also gets a
big brake kit with red calipers.
As reported by CarGuide.PH, the GT Limited
Edition has not been officially launched yet as this is still a preview, but
the model will be put on display at the upcoming Manila International Auto Show
that kicks off from April 7 to 10. When it eventually goes on sale, it will be
available through the Geely Fairview dealership and be sold at a premium of
200,000 Philippine pesos more than the Premium variant that goes for
PHP 1.088 million.
