Aside from revealing specifications of the soon-to-be-launched Azkarra, Geely’s Philippine arm has also updated its website with three new vehicles that are coming soon. While the images of the cars have been blacked out, inferences can be gathered from the silhouettes, which show an MPV, a sedan and an SUV.
The MPV is an easy enough guess (it’s the Jiaji, Geely’s sole offering in the segment), but the bevy of sedans and SUVs in the lineup makes identifying the other two a little difficult. Philippine automotive portal AutoIndustriya.com theorised that the cars being shown are the Binrui and the new seven-seater Haoyue.
However, the images’ filenames suggests otherwise, marking these cars as the Emgrand GT and Emgrand X7 (known as the Borui and Vision X6 in China respectively). The former is a large D-segment sedan, while the latter is a compact crossover that slots below the Azkarra/Boyue Pro.
We’d assume the Borui will arrive in its latest, heavily-facelifted form (Borui GE), which debuted a more modern look, a redesigned interior and mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The Vision X6 has also recently received a massive revamp, lifting plenty of design cues from its more modern siblings.
These include new headlight graphics, a bolder “expanding cosmos” grille, larger air intakes residing in angular housings and redesigned door mirrors. At the rear, the vertical tail lights have given way to horizontal units, making space for blacked-out D-pillars for the all-important “floating roof” look. The rear bumper has also been re-profiled and now features trapezoidal exhaust exits.
Inside, the X6 has gained a new horizontal dashboard design with trapezoidal air vents, a tall centre console and a 10.25-inch freestanding touchscreen running the Geely Key User Interface (GKUI). The engine, however, remains the same – a 1.4 litre turbocharged four-cylinder making 140 PS and 235 Nm of torque, sent to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT.
As for the Jiaji and Borui, expect these two cars to get the same powertrains as the Azkarra, which will be powered by a 1.5 litre turbo three-pot either in pure petrol form with 177 PS and 255 Nm, or as a 48-volt mild hybrid with 190 PS and 300 Nm. The petrol engine will be paired with an Aisin six-speed automatic, whereas the mild hybrid model will receive a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, just like the 2020 Proton X70.

wow…so aggressive
while in our country….zzzzzz
Direct imported, why not? While in M’sia we need to convert to RHD.
Looks like Geely is not confident selling their cars with Proton brand name in Pinoyland there.
Becoz Proton never had any presence in Pinoy, so why would using Proton brand there be an advantage?
Copy paste: “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.”
Much easier for Geely to be aggressive there because no need for LH-RH conversion. PH is a left hand drive country, so they can directly import as is.
National carmakers are suppose to give us the latest models with value for money pricing, so how come our Proton is still giving us the outdated X70? Where are the other Geely’s Game Changing cars Proton wanted to rebadge?
I like and support your comment. True
How isit outdated? Boyue is still on sale in China and fact is, X70 is more up to date compared to China Boyue as we’d get 1.5T TDI engine. So where did you get that idea of “Proton is still giving us the outdated X70”???
Oh wait, you’re the Proton-hating troll. I forgot you’re back.
I wished PT could permanently MCO him.
Me too bro
pinoy is LHD. next time try to learn about other countries before being a smartarse
Where is Malaysia version?
Undergoing RHD conversion development.
Tan Chong motor would instead prefer you to buy second hand of its vehicle at a high price he said,
See most common and reliable Honda CRV, Mazda CX5 and Toyota Rav4 in Philipines.
OMG.. they are going to get the Jiaji before us? Common Proton, bring the MPV in already please!
GEELY is the car-pusher and Proton is the badge-pusher, despite being called a national pride.
apasal malaysia proton geely partnership senyap aje?

This type of brand is only marketable in not-so-advanced countries because of low awareness and knowledge.
You mean like how the Filipinos rejected Honda cars until Honda stopped production in the country? That’s knowledge and consumer awareness, instead of blind badge loyalty like yours for anything Japanese.
This is a country that is backward for a reason like Sri Lanka, Belarus, Tunisia, Syria, Algeria,Morocco and Nigeria.
We don’t see advanced countries like Netherland, Germany, France, USA, Canada looking at China branded car. On the other hand, you do see Japanese branded cars here.
Hindsight is 20/20. When the Japanese first tried to enter those countries decades ago, Japanese cars also were regarded as inferior to European and American brands.
Habis la Honda, if these cars come to Malaysia…..
Honda showrooms may need to sublet to handphone biz edi, becoz honda sales would be very low.
malaysia 3rd world country with backside government, everything sure can’t get priority lah
Nothing to do with cars or automotive. Please rant somewhere else more appropriate.
Previously bought it as a national pride now wallet.
Either national pride or wallet talks, still Proton can’t be beaten.
