Geely Auto has launched the 2026 Xingyuan, an updated version of its popular compact electric vehicle (EV), with a limited-time starting price of RMB 65,800 ($9,240). The move positions the Xingyuan among the most affordable EVs currently available in China.
The new model is offered in six variants, with guide prices ranging from RMB 68,800 to RMB 98,800. A RMB 3,000 trade-in subsidy for orders placed before October 31 effectively reduces the starting price to RMB 65,800. The Xingyuan measures 4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide, and 1,570 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm.
