Originally planned to be launched as part of the Emgrand series during development, the Boyue was launched as an independent product under the Geely brand on 26 March 2016.[9][10] In the South American market, this SUV is offered under the name Geely Emgrand X7 Sport, being integrated into the Geely Emgrand product subdivision.[11]

The Boyue was designed by a team led by Peter Horbury, the vehicle’s exterior design combines traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern languages of fashion. Since its launch, the Boyue has received much attention in the Chinese automobile market. The Boyue was facelifted in 2018. After 36 months, the total production number was 700,000.

The original Geely Boyue received an update in January 2018 featuring restyled front bumper, slightly revised rear and new color options.[12]

2021 Asian Games Edition

Despite the introduction of the Boyue Pro in 2019 and the Boyue X in 2021 replacing the Pro, a special edition of the original Boyue remains to be available on the market as the Asian Games Edition as of 2021.[13][14]

2022 facelift

In April 2022, the original Boyue received a facelift for the 2022 model year featuring the same front fascia as the Boyue Pro with an updated vertical slotted grille insert and updated interior while the rear end remains to be the same as the previous version.

On 24 May 2017, PROTON Holdings parent company DRB-HICOM announced plans to sell a 49.9% stake in Proton to Zhejiang Geely Automobile Holdings. Alongside the sale of stake, it was announced that Proton's first SUV would be based on the Geely Boyue.[16][17] The Proton X70 launched in Malaysia in December 2018.

It was fully imported from China and featured only minor cosmetic changes inside and out. The most apparent change is that the Proton X70 is right-hand drive while the Geely Boyue is a left-hand drive vehicle.[18] Proton started the local assembly of the X70 in December 2019 with the launch in February 2020.[19][20]

The Proton X70 was launched in Pakistan in December 2020.[21]

Boyue X (2021)

The Boyue X was unveiled at the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show as an updated version of the Boyue Pro introduced over two years ago. The Boyue X is equipped with the same powertrain as the Boyue Pro while the front and rear end received redesigns as the first model introduced with Geely’s Vision Starburst design language.[24][25] In October 2021, Geely launched the Boyue X in China with two engine options and a substantial amount of kit.[26]

Farizon FX

The Farizon FX is a 4-door pickup truck based on the Boyue Pro sold from 2020. It features a monocoque design instead of a traditional ladder frame layout like most pickup trucks. It is powered by the same 1.8-litre turbo engine for the Boyue Pro. The truck is claimed to be the first car-based truck in China.[27]

The design of the Farizon FX retains the Boyue Pro's front fascia except the Expanding Cosmos grille. The rear is replaced by a truck bed with an integrated sport bar, wood flooring and a tonneau cover. The interior is largely different from its counterpart, as it has a larger centre console and a slightly different dashboard layout.
