The new Geely Yuanjing X3, a cool looking small crossover
hatchback will hit the Chinese car market in Q3. The Yuanjing X3 was formerly
known as the Yuanjing V3.
The X3 comes with the typical
Geely grille, a shiny strip in the bumper, skid pads fore and aft, side skirts,
big black wheel arches, and just-usable roof rails. Yuanjing means Vision.
The X3 will be powered by 1.5L engine,
tuned up to 102 horses. The engine will be mated to a five-speed manual or a
4-speed automatic. Old tech but it will keep the price low, the range is
expected to start around 60.000 and end around 80.000 yuan.
All in all a good looking little car. It might sell
well because of its coolness and cheapness, and buyers in this segment won’t
care too much about the ancient stuff underneath.
