Geely has just officially announced the name for the VX11 SUV, and the upcoming three-row SUV is called the Haoyue, meaning heroic or luxury SUV. Rumours are rife with this one, especially regarding engine options, but Geely said it will go on sale later this year, which means more details will surface very soon.
Several news outlets suggest that the Haoyue will be powered by the existing 1.5 litre and 1.8 litre turbocharged engines. The former is a three-cylinder direct injection petrol unit, which we know is capable of producing 174 hp and 255 Nm of torque, and is mated to either a six-speed automatic or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The larger 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine should also feature direct injection, and is likely to be the latest unit which meets China’s National 6B emission standards. The engine, which made its debut with the Boyue Pro, makes 181 hp and 300 Nm of torque (15 Nm increase from before), and it drops the older six-speed automatic gearbox for a seven-speed wet dual-clutch unit. The DCT, Geely says, has an efficiency of 97%, helping reduce fuel consumption by one litre per 100 km compared to the original Boyue.
Moving past that, the SUV is actually quite sizeable, measuring 4,835 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, 1,780 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. That puts it close to the Mazda CX-8 (also a three-row SUV), which measures 4,900 mm long (+65 mm), 1,840 mm wide (-60 mm), 1,730 mm tall (-50 mm), and with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm (+115 mm).
In terms of figures, that’s about all we know regarding the Geely Haoyue, for now. For design, the SUV looks rather imposing from the three-quarter angle, with short front and rear overhangs and a strong, muscular profile. There is plastic cladding all around the vehicle to emphasise ruggedness, but not garish in any way. Plus, there are skid plates to help reduce visual bulk, too.
Up front, the Haoyue wears the automaker’s signature Expanding Cosmos grille, and interestingly it features a black Geely badge and three chrome surrounds to give it a “ripple effect,” of sorts. Notable bits include LED headlights with LED DRLs, raised chamfered bonnet, prominent lower front bumper with integrated intakes, as well as stacked-LED fog lamps positioned within the huge housing. It sits on 19-inch dual-tone wheels, shod with 225/55 profile Kumho Crugen tyres.
Elsewhere, the Haoyue’s wing mirrors are positioned on the doors, and the window surrounds are fully finished in chrome. The grey variant above features aluminium roof rails, but it’s unclear if they’re functional or purely for cosmetic appeal.
Behind, the tailgate sports a surprisingly clean design, but note that photos of the car in white were used for patent filings. In any case, expect the production model to look more or less the same, replete with slim LED tail lights and an adjoining chrome strip. Like the way the Haoyue looks?

Hebat! Nak beli lah
Better than Greedy Honda Malaysia! Giving kosong safety Honda to the customers
Kia Carnival + Harrier
Finish Honda Malaysia, this MPV sales will be stolen from BRV sales which only two airbags and no AEB, no land departure warning and no blind spot monitor, especially for upcoming City Turbo. Salesman will start crying. So called as “Power of Nightmare Cars”
As majority in Malaysia fed up of driving honda cars because too many quality issues on newer Honda models after bought for less than 1 year. When go to aftersales service, people also complaining most of the aftersales service dealer. Cannot solve. Shows that technicians are having half past six, lying, didn’t repair at all, never repair other peoples car at all.
Yet, some of them are still buying Honda cars with brainless. Also, come here hating kimchi cars with low resale value and hating mazda. Just look at safety specs, most of Honda models are really kosong spec. Compare to Mazda, Toyota and Hyundai Ioniq comes with blind spot monitor, AEB, land departure warning and others. No wonder, many mazda CX-5 and Proton X70 everywhere than looking Honda CRV is now rare.
Malaysians rather buy mazda. This comes with 5 years warranty as Honda. Bermaz service is better and they already improved their service than honda. Even CKD Mazda CX-5 looks so so but better than most Honda models. So Honda Malaysia is dead.
Honda was forcibly seized from kah motors and given to drb hicom by dr m after he met honda bosses in japan. But lucky kah motors still retain honda dealership in singapore.
China is a great country. Lucky they are investing in Malaysia. I hope we become part of China and become part of their protectorate.
U made the right choice
The Innova and Fortuner killer is here! Tremble with fear when it arrives to MY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Well this comes here. It will be more fear! Because Odyssey is already too outdated and very slower engine! Moreover, people will not buy Honda because complainants about aftersales service and car quality
Lucky China, Geely and Li Chunrong helped save Proton. We need more Mainland people into Malaysia to help run our GLCs more efficiently.
Look at TH, already needed RM10.3 bil bailout, if we have another Li Chunrong running it, he can turn it around and make it profitable like Proton
We should not syiok sendiri when China is doing all the work and have given the product buta buta to us ie the X70 and X50
Other people do all the work and we claim glamour. Nasib baik China tolong kami.
Tanpa kereta Geely, Proton cars tak laku
Ok what. Perodua fanboys have been talking for 25 years how proud and gamechanging is their company but for 25 years other people do all the work and they claim glamour. They still keep talking and being so proud but for 17 years, we have been waiting for the gamechanging Kenari Hybrid they were also so proudly talking about, even calling it a gamechanger and will gameover Proton but 17 years later, today Proton is still around their talk are the ones have gameover.
you are right, see who are the majority working in the Perodua factory and you will understand why they need to claim glamour.
I agree with you. Both Proton and PErodua are the same.
Don’t know what local Universities taught our automotive students the past 30 yrs.
Cannot blame the factory workers. They are just workers. The company direction is set by the bosses and the fault is with the Jap bosses in Perodua. They are colluding with their HQ Jap bosses to milk those of us ASEANs dry with their obsoleted cars. This I fully blame the Japs. for cheating us and continue to cheat us.
You’ve must’ve just woken up.
In the last 30 years, P1 engineers have designed and produced several (dare I say) world class, home grown chassis and platforms. Built an engine that spawned a family of newer engines.
What have you done?
My friend, you had told us here we should not follow China and instead follow your Japan overlord. Now your Japan overlord has fallen and their sales are going down the drain even Toyota begging for EV tech from Geely, then later you come and told us we should follow China. In that case I propose we follow Martians. At least they have flying cars. Agreed?
Can I advice you something? Stop your name change nonsense will ya. You made it too obviously your trademark that it takes the fun out of hunting for your fake names.
so uncle and outdated.
show us Tesla Cybertruck rival.
This not pickup truck lorr bodoh.
Don’t call people bodoh john, learn to respect people here. Even Bossku has his own boss in the house.
Being called blind would be an insult to those genuinely impaired so if you cannot differentiate a pickup truck and an SUV, you are most definitely deserve the title BODOH.
This is a car i would line up to buy for sure if it had 4wd and was priced right (130 to 150k)? Please Geely/Proton . . . . . bring this in!
Are they coming to our shore?
