- FX11 could be called Xingyao or Boyue L
- A row of the new SUVs were spotted in China
- Debuting this Friday
The current-generation Geely Boyue, sold here as the , is 6 years old and nearing the end of its lifecycle. As such, it’s no surprise that Geely is already working on a replacement model.
Initial spyshots of the replacement model, codenamed FX11, surfaced in April. This time, however, the new C-segment SUV has been caught undisguised, parked on the side of a long stretch of road.

There’s nothing new to report in terms of design; where it gets interesting is the nameplate of the new SUV.
In these photos, it seemingly appears that Geely could adopt two possible names for its latest SUVL: 星耀 (Xingyao) or 博越L (Boyue L), the latter takes a leaf out of the Xingyue and Xingyue L’s book.

While Geely has yet to confirm powertrain details of its upcoming C-segment SUV, Chinese media outlets have speculated that the Xingyao or Boyue L could get a turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that current powers the Xingyue L.

Another likely powertrain candidate is Geely’s range of petrol-electric hybrid systems, as the company gradually electrifies their line-up.
Stay tuned for more updates, as Geely will be debuting the new SUV on 5-August, which is this coming Friday.
