Geely has taken the wraps off the Xingyue L Plus, a larger, more lavishly equipped flagship version of its best-selling SUV, as the company looks to build on the model line's cumulative sales of more than 1 million units in China since its launch five years ago. According to Autohome, which published a detailed static review, the Plus is positioned as a premium five-seater rather than a seven-seat variant, with dimensions that stretch the body to 4,955 mm long, 1,960 mm wide, and 1,769 mm tall, on a 2,900 mm wheelbase — 160 mm longer and 55 mm longer in wheelbase than the standard Xingyue L.
Design and interior
The exterior adopts a two-tone paint scheme and a more imposing front end, with a larger shield-shaped grille featuring vertical chrome slats and split LED headlamps. Chrome trim runs along the window line, door handles, mirror housings, and side skirts, while the rear features a full-width light bar without the chrome divider found on the current model. A roof-mounted lidar unit is a rare sight on a petrol or hybrid SUV in this class, enabling the Qianli H5 driver-assistance suite, which adds urban NOA (city advanced driver assistance) compared with the H3 system on the standard Xingyue L.
Inside, the cabin is dominated by a 30-inch 6K dual-screen display with no seam, joined by a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 32-inch AR head-up display, and a 17.3-inch rear ceiling screen. The infotainment runs on the Flyme Auto 2.5 system powered by a Qualcomm 8295 chip, with an optional EVA physical robot assistant. Physical buttons for climate control remain, and a traditional gear lever is retained — a nod to buyers accustomed to petrol cars. The front passenger glovebox uses a drawer-style opening, which Autohome notes can be blocked by the occupant's legs.
Rear-seat passengers get generous space, with over two fists of legroom for a 177-cm, 90-kg tester. All four seats offer ventilation, heating, and massage, and the right rear seat adds a powered leg rest with heating, which Geely calls the “Cloud SPA” feature. The rear ceiling screen can show blind-spot camera views when doors open, a safety feature aimed at preventing accidents involving children. The interior uses soft-touch materials, leather, suede-like headliner, and wood trim, in a style the automaker describes as Chinese luxury.
Powertrain and market positioning
The Xingyue L Plus uses an i-HEV mild-hybrid system combining a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with a 3-speed DHT transmission. Autohome notes that this means the vehicle does not qualify for green new-energy license plates in many Chinese regions, a potential drawback for buyers seeking those benefits. The review does not provide power or range figures.
Pricing has not been announced, but Autohome speculates the Plus will target the 200,000-yuan (about $28,200) segment, with an entry price possibly around 170,000 yuan (about $23,900). The reviewer suggests the high-end trims could compete with the Li Auto L6 and the Aito M6, while lower trims fill the gap between the standard Xingyue L and the new flagship. The Xingyue L line has been a strong seller for Geely, and the Plus aims to extend that success with more space and technology.
