Remember when it was announced that the Geely Boyue Pro was to be sold in the Philippines as the Geely Azkarra? Well, now the company has revealed full specifications, equipment and pricing for the SUV, which will be launched on May 30 in an online-only event (the car was due to make its debut earlier this year but was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic and local social distancing measures).
The Azkarra will be offered in two variants, Premium and Luxury, with AutoIndustriya.com reporting prices of 1.438 million pesos (RM123,500) and 1.598 million pesos (RM137,200) respectively. Both will be powered by the company’s 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which as standard makes 177 PS at 5,500 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.
However, the Luxury adds all-wheel drive, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (the Premium gets an Aisin six-speed automatic instead) and a 48-volt Electric Motor Synergy (EMS) mild hybrid system, the latter boosting outputs to 190 PS and 300 Nm.
As the Azkarra is based on the Boyue Pro, it gets the latest iteration of the Boyue’s design, with slim LED headlights, a bolder “expanding cosmos” grille, larger air intakes, a redesigned rear bumper, reshaped LED tail lights and a new chrome bar across the rear end.
The dashboard is also completely new, featuring a more modern angular design in keeping with Geely’s latest models. The Azkarra also looks to receive the latest version of the Geely Key User Interface (GKUI), GKUI 19, equipped with a larger 12.3-inch centre display.
Standard equipment is mostly identical on both cars and consists of 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, faux leather upholstery, a powered driver’s seat, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, eight speakers and a powered tailgate. The luxury model adds Nappa leather and a Qi wireless smartphone charger. An N95-grade cabin filter has also been installed.
Safety kit is also the same on the Premium and Luxury models, including six airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, stability control, hill start assist and hill descent control. Unlike the Proton X70, you won’t find autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring or auto high beam here.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Shall add RM20k to get a CRV.
German >Sushi > Kimchi> cina
Sounds like the scale of depreciating value for money.
Shame that Proton doesn’t bring the new Game-Changing Geely Boyue Pro here. Instead, Proton just change the transmission of the X70 in the CKD version. How come my National Carmaker are still selling outdated model to us?
Yeah too bad Proton prefers to give Game Changing Value For Money cars. So why is that a bad thing?
More like affordability
Spot on Ben
Nah! Top up addition rm20k to get CRV, you feel unsafe to drive due to lowest reliability. Must elsewhere get X70 better. Just saved rm20k to buy others.
crv is very lousy and main for old man with boring feel. People will get X70 that has been amazed when comes to driving with better gadgets and look younger
Top up RM20k can only get lower spec CRV, shall add RM50k more to get hi spec CRV that has more fun. Get a sushi will not be wrong.
Better to topup RM 100k and get Conti. Get a Conti will not be wrong.
So you said that x70 is not excited? Tell me, why every people who drives CRV, are not fun to drive lower spec crv including high spec crv. Everyone loves to drive x70 which is more fun and they saved their money for not spending for another between RM20k to RM50k for crv.
Pandu cx5 crv Raya balik kampung ada class. Pandu x70 park jauh sikit pun ok.
Hanya orang bodoh saje beli keta jepun tgk class padahal keta jepun mana de class.
If you want to dance on road buy Japs but if you want to run like a cheetah buy p1
This car has more features than even CRV owners dared to dream happen to their own.
Punyala malaysian tunggu lama proton x70 ckd, Philippines dah dapat versi terupdate boyue pro… Proton x50 sampai wujud facebook tak sabar berbincang/hype menanti kemunculannya… Philippines dah lama pakai and review kereta ni coolray. Lepas ni harapnye bila nak kluar geely mpv & pengganti preve/sedan biar malaysian dapat dahulu bukannya Philippines.. Sebab alasan masih sama nak proses tukar pemanduan dan test yg pelbagai.
Saya pun tunggu juga tak sabar n a k beli.. Klu bole dapat versi yg update terkini bukan yg ketinggalan setahun/dua.
Versi Pinoy adalah CBU dari China, ya diimpor so takde susah pun nak bawak masuk cepat. Lagi juga versi Pinoy ialah LHD sama macam di China so diorang xpayah utk ubah ke RHD sprt yg dibuat oleh Proton buat pasaran Malaysia. Langsung xleh dibanding. Mcam gajah dan kucing.
Elephant fight with elephant, the grass will suffer.
Waiting for X70 aZAKARa version soon.
Like that habis la, Honda.
But anyone here kesian Honda?
Honda will prevail. Don’t worry. We are Japanese.
No wonder Takata airbag cannot resolve until today. Japanese killer airbags does prevail.
Everyone boycotting honda malaysia when quality and aftersales services are bad.
