The Geely Coolray, also known as Binyue in China, is one of Geely Auto’s best-selling products. It has also spawned Proton’s X50 model which is also the best-selling product in the Malaysian automaker’s portfolio.
According to sales data, more than 800,00 units of the model have been sold worldwide in more than 40 countries since its release in 2018. The sales average is around 160,000 units a year. Market dominance has made the Geely Coolray the preferred option for consumers in the Subcompact SUV class, with sales originating from the Americas, Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia Pacific.
The Coolray is becoming one of the top choices for the B-SUV segment customers. In the Eastern Europe Region, Coolray sales had a great performance, with its retail sales increasing by more than 190% compared to last year. Saudi Arabia also saw an increase, posting an 18.8% increase versus its performance last year.
In 2023, Geely unleashed the refreshed Coolray which was then introduced in various markets such as the Philippines, Russia, Georgia, Belarus, Chile, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Paraguay, Ecuador, Mexico, and the Middle East. The potent subcompact SUV has witnessed a rise in demand, has received many favorable reviews from the local media, and is currently becoming increasingly sought after by consumers.
The Coolray subcompact SUV is built on Geely’s new B-Segment Modular Architecture (BMA). It stands out for its sporty design and aggressive lines, featuring the powerful air intake front grille, LED headlights with Energy Pulse Three-way daytime running lights and taillamps, as well as 17- or 18-inch wheels and quad exhaust outlets. The powertrain consists of a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine developing a maximum output of 181 hp and 290 Nm and comes paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
