Geely Coolray: range, price, specs and where it is sold

Facts checked 4 September 2026

The Geely Coolray is the export name of the Geely Binyue (吉利缤越), a subcompact petrol SUV launched in China on 22 August 2018. It sits on BMA, Geely's modular platform for smaller cars, and has become one of the company's most widely exported models, sold across South-East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

Geely's global site specifies the current New Coolray with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine rated 128 kW and 290 Nm, driving through a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and quoted consumption of 6.5 L/100 km. The body measures 4,380 mm long, 1,810 mm wide and 1,615 mm tall on a 2,600 mm wheelbase. A plug-in hybrid Binyue has also been sold in China; export cars are petrol.

The name changes again in two markets. Proton, in which Geely Holding owns 49.9%, builds and sells the same car in Malaysia as the Proton X50, and a Belarusian joint venture sells it as the BelGee X50 in Belarus and Russia. Geely's own site notes that appearance, interior and equipment differ by region. It is not sold in the United States.
