Geely just dropped an updated Haoyue L in China, and it is ready to shake up the competitive fuel-powered SUV segment. With a starting price that temporarily dips as low as 12,690 USD (89,900 yuan), this revised SUV is clearly aiming for family buyers who need flexible seating and value for their hard-earned cash. The official price range sits between 14,120 USD and 18,330 USD (99,900 to 129,900 yuan), but that launch period discount makes it even more appealing.
Powertrain Punch: New 1.5T Joins the Fray
One of the biggest headlines here is the introduction of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged (1.5T) engine. It is positioned as a more accessible option below the existing 2.0-liter turbo (2.0T), giving buyers more choice without sacrificing its mid-size SUV status. The 1.5T churns out a respectable 133 kW and 290 Nm of torque, while the beefier 2.0T pushes 160 kW and 325 Nm. Both engines pair with a smooth seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, sending power to the front wheels. Underneath, you will find a MacPherson strut setup at the front and a multi-link system in the rear, providing a balanced and comfortable ride.

Fresh Face and Family-Friendly Interior
Geely did not just tweak the engines, the Haoyue L also got a visual refresh. You will spot a redesigned polygonal grille, updated bumpers, and larger decorative vents that give it a more assertive look. The signature straight-vertical grille texture is still there, keeping that distinct Geely vibe. Buyers can pick from four body colors, and the SUV maintains its generous proportions: 4865 mm long, 1910 mm wide, 1770 mm tall, with a 2825 mm wheelbase. Depending on the trim, you will roll on either 19-inch or sharp 20-inch wheels.
Inside, it is all about family comfort and practicality. Soft-touch materials are abundant, creating an inviting atmosphere. Dominating the dash is a 14.6-inch central touchscreen, flanked by a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. Geely’s Flyme Auto software suite brings smartphone integration and online navigation, keeping you connected on the go. There are two interior color schemes to choose from, letting you personalize your ride. Higher trims also benefit from L2 driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, collision warnings, lane-keeping assistance, and a handy 540-degree camera system with an under-car view. Pretty smart stuff for a family SUV!
Seating for All: Five, Six, or Seven!
One of the most practical upgrades is the expanded seating flexibility. The Haoyue L now offers five-seat, six-seat, and even an optional seven-seat configuration. If you opt for the six-seater, you get two individual captain’s chairs in the second row, complete with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. Talk about a comfortable road trip! Need more cargo space? Fold the third row flat in the seven-seat version, and you unlock a massive 2050 liters of storage. That is enough room for just about anything life throws at you.
A Storied History and Fierce Competition
The Haoyue nameplate has been a part of Geely’s mid-size SUV lineup since 2020, with the Haoyue L designation arriving in 2022 as a more potent and better-equipped option. This 2026 model continues that trend, focusing on versatility and an aggressive entry price. It’s stepping into a crowded ring, facing rivals like the Chery Tiggo 8, the Jetour X70 series, and the Haval H6L, all vying for attention in the highly competitive fuel-powered mid-size SUV segment. With its new engine, flexible seating, and sharp pricing, the Haoyue L is surely looking to carve out a significant slice of the market.
