Geely Vision X3
The Vision X3 (Chinese name: Yuanjing X3) is a small hatchback/crossover version in the same style as the Geely Emgrand GS and the smaller Vision X1. It features Geely’s new corporate grille and gets a crossover-look thanks to its black plastic wheel arches and an elevated ride height giving it more ground clearance than a regular hatchback. Designed by Peter Horbury, the British chief of design for Volvo and Geely, the Vision X3 is not built on an entirely new platform, but is instead no more than a facelift of the Geely Englon SC5-RV, which was produced between 2011 and 2014. The Vision X3 is powered by the same 1,5-liter four-cylinder engine with 102hp, mated to a five-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. Geely also makes an EV version of the Vision X3 under its Maple brand with Kandi Technologies, called Maple 30X.
