The major redesign of the national carmaker’s B-segment SUV brings a new BHE15TD 1.5 litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which succeeds the three-cylinder unit that featured before this update. This outputs 181 PS at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm between 2,000 rpm and 3,500 rpm, representing gains of 4 PS and 35 Nm over the previous TGDi engine, and gains of 31 PS/64 Nm over the PFI engine.

New heart aside, the revised X50 wears a new look which, like its powerplant, is taken from the Geely Binyue L, most notably with its redesigned front fascia. Wheels are 17 to 18 inches in diameter on the X50 depending on variant. Its interior is of an in-house design, not shared with other Geely group models.

Also on is an ADAS suite with improved functionality for Level 2 assisted driving features including adaptive cruise control with stop and go and lane centring assist, an improved park assist system in the Flagship variant and six airbags as standard.
