Comprehensive intelligence and hybridization
Driving fuel vehicles into a new era with flagship strength
Lin Jie, Senior Vice President of Geely Automobile Group and General Manager of Geely Automobile Group Sales Company, stated at the launch event that motorsport is the most rigorous touchstone for testing the technological strength of the automotive industry. Geely has persisted in motorsport for over twenty years, with cumulative investment exceeding ten billion yuan, adhering to the philosophy of "promoting research through racing" and feeding track technology back into production vehicles. The handling DNA, powertrain calibration, and quality standards of Geely China Star are precisely inherited from the technical genes honed by Geely Automobile Group on the racetrack.
Based on years of continuous cultivation in the fuel vehicle sector, from January to September this year, Geely China Star's cumulative sales exceeded 850,000 units, with monthly market share consistently maintained above 10%; since 2017, Geely China Star has won the Chinese brand fuel vehicle sales championship for nine consecutive years, deeply recognized by the market and trusted by users.
Regarding the future development direction of Geely's fuel vehicles, Lin Jie stated: The future of fuel vehicles is comprehensive hybridization and comprehensive intelligence. User needs are diverse, and Geely must make products in every segment market to the extreme, build the best fuel vehicles in China, and not let any user fall behind. This year, Geely Auto released the new-generation i-HEV Smart Hybrid technology, delivering disruptive experiences to users in five major aspects: energy efficiency, intelligence, performance, safety, and reliability. Since its launch in April this year, the Geely China Star i-HEV series models have accounted for over 40% of Chinese brand hybrid vehicle sales, ranking first in sales among Chinese brand hybrid products.

While providing a wide-body B-segment space with nearly 5 meters of vehicle length, it balances the low cost and long range needs of family travel, making it the most fuel-efficient B-segment smart hybrid fuel sedan and leading fuel flagship sedans into the 3L era. Additionally, considering users' diverse needs, the Xingrui L PLUS also launched a 2.0TD series (pure gasoline) at this launch, further strengthening the performance flagship image of the PLUS series, responding to users' expectations for driving pleasure in fuel sedans with stronger power and purer handling, and enriching the series product lineup.
TCR champion driver Ma Qinghua, as the chassis certification officer for the Xingrui L PLUS, was also invited to the launch event and shared his TCR racing experience and the champion handling DNA of the Xingrui L PLUS.

In terms of safety and comfort that fuel sedan users value, the Geely Xingrui L PLUS is developed to the new five-star safety standards, not only achieving the fuel vehicle debut of the full-scenario tire blowout stability system and standard 11 airbags across all trims, but also winning China's 2026 Top Ten Bodies and Best Reliability Individual Award; meanwhile, the Geely Xingrui L PLUS features a spacious posture with nearly 5 meters of vehicle length, achieving the segment-highest 84.5% space utilization rate, the segment-largest front-row lateral space, the segment-largest rear-row headroom, and the segment-first 23-speaker Flyme Sound unbounded audio, achieving four-seat 14-point SPA-grade shiatsu massage and other luxury comfort features, applying first-class cabin luxury experiences to all scenarios and achieving a premium advancement for B-segment fuel family sedans.
The Geely Xingrui L PLUS adopts the "Eastern Seasons" aesthetic as its design language, drawing inspiration from the light and shadow changes and color flows of the four seasonal solar terms "spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage" in traditional Chinese culture, permeating every detail of the vehicle design and deeply integrating Eastern aesthetics with modern technology. This design has not only received the local authoritative certification of "Great Beauty Chinese Car" from the fashion group but also won the 2026 MUSE Design Global Platinum Award with its originality and completeness, representing Chinese design in gaining global recognition.
