Would you like the 7-seater Geely Xingyue L here in the Philippines?

SUVs are becoming more popular these days due to factors such as the generous space they offer especially for big families, truck-like toughness and reliability, as well as better driving visibility. Various car brands have put up flexible payment schemes so these large vehicles are more attainable than ever.

This was the case when the Geely Okavango entered the Philippine market last November 2020. The 7-seater SUV became such a hit to Filipino car buyers that it already surpassed its 5-seater compact crossover sibling, the Azkarra, in terms of sales last year. Take note, the Okavango only joined the lineup two months before the end of the year.

The all-new Geely Xingyue L

If opportunities like this present themselves, one can think that Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP) should take advantage to further expand Geely’s business network in the country. Well now, the Chinese car brand can add another 7-seater SUV codenamed KX11, now more formally known as the Xingyue L. It was launched at the 19th Shanghai International Automobile Show which runs from April 19 to 28, 2021.

What Geely is most proud about on the 7-seater Xingyue L are the vehicle’s advanced technologies which aim to innovate user experience in automobiles. Some of these features include 5G internet connection, an intelligent digital cabin, advanced safety features, and the application of automated technology.

Should this 7-seater arrive in the country?

To back the brand’s ambitious vision for the future technologies of its automobiles, Geely has invested more than 100 billion yuan (Php 742,877,044) in Research and Development (R&D). The investment is expected to improve Geely’s new energy technologies, vehicle networking, intelligent driving, shared mobility, in-vehicle chips, low-orbit satellites, and even flying cars.

As of this writing, SGAP has no word on whether it will add the Geely Xingyue L to its Philippine lineup. But with the growing popularity of SUVs in the country and the well-rounded design and features the 7-seater SUV offers, there is a good chance that we might see this running around on Philippine roads in no time.
