The first generation Binyue was named "SX11" under development and was revealed in August 2018 as the Binyue. The Geely Binyue was positioned between the Geely Emgrand GS and the Geely Boyue within Geely's crossover portfolio,[6] and is the first crossover based on the BMA platform. The Binyue 260T Sport Versions carry two unique "Geely Sport" logos, which are different from the former Earth Logo.
The engines available for the Binyue are a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine with 136 hp and a 1.5-litre turbo inline-three engine with 177 hp.[6]
The Binyue PHEV is the plug-in hybrid version of the standard Binyue. It is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine mated to an electric motor and an 11.3kWh lithium battery pack producing 258 PS and 415 Nm of torque. The Binyue PHEV has around 62km of range in pure electric mode.[7]
A sports appearance package was added for the 2021 model year and launced in August 2021, featuring restyled front bumper and aero kit with a roof spoiler. The interior remains largely the same as previous model years and powertrain remains the same as the regular model.[8]
The Binyue was released as the Proton X50 in Malaysia in September 2020.[9] It is locally assembled by Proton's facility in Tanjung Malim as their second SUV model and the second Geely-based model after the X70.[10]
In the Philippines, the Binyue is sold as the Coolray. It was launched in September 25, 2019 and marks Geely's return to the Philippine market.[3][4] Later on in 2022, Geely launched the Coolray GT Limited Edition in the Philippines.[11]
