The all-new 2024 Geely GX3 Pro has officially entered the Philippine market. It is Geely’s smallest and most affordable crossover offering, and it comes in two different variants: the entry-level S and the top-spec Comfort. It is then set to compete against the Toyota Raize and the Kia Stonic in the subcompact crossover category.
The 2024 Geely GX3 Pro
Previewed first at the 2023 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), the GX3 Pro is touted as the Geely Coolray’s smaller, more compact sibling. So what does this subcompact crossover from Geely offer prospective buyers? Let’s talk about it in depth to find out.
Exterior
Appearance-wise, the GX3 Pro gets a pair of sharp-looking headlights with LED daytime running lamps, a slatted grille, and a curvy lower front bumper that houses a functional vent.

Its sides then come with black plastic claddings just like many crossovers in the market right now. Visual pizzaz for this section is then provided by several character lines and a set of 16-inch alloy wheels which come standard for the model. Both trims also get roof rails and power side mirrors.
The rear of the vehicle then sports a pair of LED taillights with integrated U-shaped turn signal lamps. Up top is a roof-mounted spoiler, while the bottom of the rear comes with an eye-catching design with a faux diffuser.
