Geely is now open for business in Mexico, via its own national sales company (NSC) Geely Mexico. Leading the charge into Mexico is the Geely Coolray (also known as Binyue in China), the donor car for our Proton X50. The China-made Coolray launched in Mexico is the new look, facelifted 2024 model. Powertrain is identical to our Proton X50 TGDi Flagship variant, a 1.5-litre turbocharged direct injection three-cylinder (TGDi) paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Curiously, the Me

While its Southeast Asian neighbours offer the Honda City Hatchback, Singapore is the only market in the region that offers the fourth-generation Honda Jazz and just recently, the facelift has been introduced in the island state.

Both variants of the Binyue 1.5 ePro are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-pot engine that does 170 PS and 255 Nm. Combined system output is 258 PS and 415 Nm.

We've tested the Geely Binyue in China, not to lay a death sentence on the Proton X50, but to get a first taste of what pr
