2025 Geely Coolray for Sale – 1.5L Manual, CVT or 1.5T 7DCT SUV
China-Source Model Guide2025 Geely Coolray: low-cost 1.5L or 181 PS Coolray L
The China-source 2025 Coolray is available through two distinct procurement routes. The 1.5L naturally aspirated model prioritizes a low FOB entry price and conventional operation, while the longer Coolray L uses a 1.5T engine and seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission for stronger performance.
The name “Coolray” is used internationally, while China-market sourcing documents may identify the vehicle as Binyue or Binyue L. Engine calibration, equipment, body styling and connected functions can differ from an officially distributed Coolray in the destination country. Confirm the VIN, production label and factory configuration before payment.
The 2025 Geely Coolray is a compact, left-hand-drive gasoline SUV available from China in two purchasing categories that should not be treated as the same vehicle specification.
The first category uses a naturally aspirated 1.5L engine with either a five-speed manual or CVT transmission. It targets buyers who need a low acquisition cost, compact dimensions and conventional gasoline operation.
The second category is commonly identified as the Coolray L or Binyue L. It uses a 181 PS turbocharged engine and seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, giving it a much stronger performance position than the entry 1.5L model.

Coolray, Binyue and Binyue L: three names that can describe different vehicles
Coolray is the international name used for Geely’s small SUV, while domestic Chinese documents normally use the Binyue name.
For 2025 sourcing, the Chinese lineup includes the shorter 4,330 mm Binyue with a naturally aspirated 1.5L engine and the 4,380 mm Binyue L with a 1.5T engine. Both may be advertised by exporters as a Geely Coolray.
This creates a risk when the buyer orders from photographs or a short supplier quotation. A listing titled “2025 Coolray automatic” could refer to:
- a 126 PS 1.5L CVT vehicle;
- a 181 PS 1.5T seven-speed DCT vehicle;
- a China-spec Binyue L;
- or an overseas-market Coolray with different engine calibration and equipment.
Identity documents to request
Ask for the VIN, engine code, transmission description, production label, complete exterior photographs, dashboard photographs and factory configuration sheet. The commercial invoice should state the engine and transmission rather than using only “Coolray.”
The 1.5L manual version is the lowest-cost procurement route
The 1.5L Manual Super Edition has the lowest official China-market price in the 2025 range. It uses a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 93 kW and 152 Nm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission.
Its main advantage is not performance. It is intended for buyers who prioritize:
- a lower FOB entry price;
- simple gasoline refueling;
- manual-transmission familiarity;
- lower dependence on complex connected functions;
- and straightforward daily urban or regional operation.
This version can be relevant to dealers in price-sensitive left-hand-drive markets, but the importer should first confirm local customer demand for manual vehicles. A lower purchase price does not help if most customers expect an automatic transmission.
The base version may also have fewer airbags, simpler lighting, smaller wheels and more limited driver-assistance equipment than promotional photographs of the high-spec Coolray L.
The 1.5L CVT version is the budget automatic choice
The 1.5L CVT Super Edition keeps the same 126 PS engine but replaces the manual gearbox with a continuously variable transmission.
It is a more suitable entry configuration for city commuters, rental fleets and families that want an automatic SUV without paying for turbocharged performance.
Compared with the manual version, the CVT model may add convenience and chassis-control equipment, but the exact items still need VIN-level confirmation.
The CVT should be tested during:
- cold engagement into drive and reverse;
- slow parking movements;
- steady low-speed acceleration;
- stronger acceleration onto a main road;
- and hill starts with several occupants.
The inspection should identify abnormal vibration, delayed engagement, warning lights or unusual transmission noise.
The 1.5T Coolray L is a performance purchase, not merely a higher trim
The 1.5T Coolray L changes the character of the vehicle. Its 133 kW engine produces 290 Nm and is paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The claimed 7.6-second acceleration to 100 km/h makes it suitable for buyers who want stronger overtaking response and a more energetic driving style from a small SUV.
The body is also 50 mm longer than the naturally aspirated version and uses a different front and rear design. Higher trims can add larger displays, 360-degree or 540-degree camera systems, Level 2 driver assistance, larger wheels, a panoramic roof and sport-oriented interior materials.
The lowest 1.5T Beyond Edition is often the most coherent performance purchase because it delivers the main engine and transmission upgrade without automatically paying for every cosmetic or electronic package.
Why China-spec and overseas Coolray power figures may not match
Geely’s China-market Binyue L is commonly listed at 133 kW or 181 PS, while official Geely pages for some overseas markets describe a 128 kW version with the same 290 Nm torque figure.
This does not necessarily mean one supplier has made a simple conversion error. Regional engine calibration, emissions certification, software and market specification can differ.
An exporter should therefore avoid presenting all Coolray vehicles worldwide as one universal 181 PS specification.
The correct product page and commercial invoice should identify:
- the vehicle’s production market;
- engine code;
- rated power on the production label or certificate;
- emissions standard;
- and actual transmission.
This is particularly important when the destination already has an official Geely distributor whose local Coolray specifications differ from the parallel-import vehicle.
2025 Geely Coolray FOB price from China
The recommended minimum public reference for this page is approximately USD 9,200 FOB China port, based on the entry 1.5L five-speed manual procurement route.
This is not a guaranteed final quotation. The actual figure depends on:
- manual, CVT or 1.5T DCT selection;
- vehicle production date;
- dealer discount and current inventory;
- exterior and interior color;
- mileage and registration status;
- inland transport to the export port;
- inspection and export handling;
- and port-local charges.
The 1.5L CVT and 1.5T Coolray L require separate quotations. They should not be advertised at the manual model’s entry price.
Recommended quotation structure
The quotation should identify the exact powertrain, trim, VIN status, FOB or CIF trade term and included China-side costs. Freight, insurance, destination tax, customs clearance, certification and registration should be shown separately where applicable.
Manual, CVT or 7DCT: select the gearbox around the customer
The transmission choice changes the target buyer more than a minor comfort option does.
Choose the five-speed manual for a market where customers actively prefer manual cars, purchase price is the primary concern and workshops are familiar with conventional clutch servicing.
Choose the CVT for urban private buyers, rental use and fleets that value easy low-speed operation over rapid acceleration.
Choose the 7DCT for customers who expect stronger torque, faster overtaking and the sportier Coolray identity already associated with the model in many export markets.
A dealer ordering mixed inventory should not assume the lowest-price version will be the fastest-selling. The appropriate transmission depends on customer expectations, traffic conditions, fuel prices and resale preferences in the destination country.
What to test on the seven-speed wet DCT
The wet dual-clutch transmission is a key part of the 1.5T Coolray L’s performance. It should be assessed under conditions that reveal low-speed behavior rather than only during a fast test drive.
The pre-shipment test should include:
- cold start and initial drive engagement;
- repeated forward and reverse parking movements;
- slow crawling in traffic;
- hill starts;
- moderate and full-throttle acceleration;
- manual-mode shifts where fitted;
- and a diagnostic scan for stored transmission faults.
Minor changes in shift feel can be normal for a dual-clutch transmission, but strong vibration, delayed engagement, warning messages or overheating indications require investigation before export.
Body and spare parts differ between the two China versions
The naturally aspirated Coolray and the Coolray L share the same 2,600 mm wheelbase, but their external length and styling are not identical.
Importers should not assume that every bumper, grille, headlight, taillight, wheel, trim panel or electronic module is interchangeable.
For dealer or fleet orders, it is useful to record:
- full VIN and parts-catalog identity;
- front and rear bumper design;
- headlamp and taillamp part numbers;
- wheel and tire specification;
- windshield sensor and camera configuration;
- and the exact infotainment hardware.
A small starter stock of filters, brake components and common exterior parts may be reasonable when several vehicles of the same specification are imported.
Flyme Auto and China connected services after export
Higher Coolray L trims may use the Flyme Auto cockpit system with Chinese navigation, voice services, online applications, mobile-network functions and remote vehicle control.
These functions should not be assumed to work fully outside China. Availability can depend on:
- a Chinese mobile number or user account;
- the built-in SIM and network agreement;
- regional map data;
- cloud-service access;
- software language;
- and the current OTA version.
Before shipment, record the interface language, software version, account status, Bluetooth operation, phone projection, offline vehicle settings and all functions that remain usable without a Chinese data connection.
Any third-party English conversion should be disclosed accurately and should not be described as official Geely international software unless supported by documentation.
Do not assume high-trim equipment is standard
Promotional images often show a higher Coolray L specification with 18-inch wheels, panoramic roof, large center screen, digital instrument display, camera systems, powered driver seat and advanced driver assistance.
The entry 1.5L manual vehicle can be significantly simpler.
For each ordered unit, verify:
- number and location of airbags;
- ESC, traction control and hill-assistance functions;
- halogen or LED lighting;
- wheel and tire size;
- rear camera, 360-degree camera or 540-degree view;
- cruise-control and driver-assistance functions;
- screen size and instrument display;
- seat adjustment, heating or ventilation;
- panoramic roof;
- and electric tailgate availability.
The buyer should receive actual photographs and operating videos instead of a generic manufacturer brochure.
Pre-shipment checklist for a 2025 Geely Coolray
- Vehicle identity: confirm Coolray/Binyue or Coolray L/Binyue L, VIN, production date and engine code.
- Powertrain: verify 1.5L 5MT, 1.5L CVT or 1.5T 7DCT on the vehicle label and invoice.
- Rated power: record the VIN-specific kW figure rather than copying a specification from another country.
- Vehicle status: confirm mileage, registration history, insurance history and any domestic ownership transfer.
- Engine: check cold starting, idle, fluid levels, turbo operation where applicable and warning lights.
- Transmission: test clutch or gearbox operation in reverse, traffic-speed crawling, hills and stronger acceleration.
- Body: inspect paint, bumper corners, glass, lights, roof, wheels and transport-sensitive trim.
- Safety equipment: verify airbags, ESC, cameras, parking sensors and driver-assistance functions by trim.
- Infotainment: document language, software, account binding, navigation, Bluetooth and offline controls.
- Keys and tools: confirm physical keys, manuals, spare tire or repair kit, jack and standard tools.
- Tires: verify size, production date, condition and consistency with the ordered specification.
- Documents: match the VIN across the invoice, vehicle certificate, export declaration and shipping records.
2025 Geely Coolray vs 2026 Kia Seltos
The Kia Seltos and Geely Coolray can serve similar compact-SUV buyers, but their strongest purchasing arguments are different.
The Seltos is better positioned for customers who prefer a familiar Korean brand and a naturally aspirated engine with an automatic transmission.
The Coolray offers a lower manual-transmission entry price and a much stronger 181 PS turbo option. It is better suited to buyers who place more value on acceleration, styling and equipment per dollar.
The choice should therefore be based on brand support, transmission preference and customer demand—not simply on which vehicle has the lowest China price.
2025 Geely Coolray vs Chery Tiggo 4
The Chery Tiggo 4 generally emphasizes practical family use, value equipment and a broader conventional SUV identity.
The turbocharged Coolray L has a more performance-oriented position, with quicker acceleration and more aggressive exterior styling.
The naturally aspirated Coolray competes more directly on acquisition cost, while the Coolray L competes on performance and youthful image.
Importers should compare local Chery and Geely parts availability, customer recognition and workshop diagnostic support before selecting dealer stock.
2025 Geely Coolray vs Changan CS35 Plus
The Changan CS35 Plus is another gasoline compact SUV with strong recognition in several export regions.
The Coolray L’s main advantage is its 181 PS engine, fast claimed acceleration and sporty cabin presentation. The CS35 Plus may appeal to customers who prefer a more conventional SUV design or already have access to Changan service and parts.
For fleet use, the simpler naturally aspirated Coolray should be compared separately rather than using the 1.5T performance specification as the basis for every decision.
2025 Geely Coolray vs Hyundai Creta
The Hyundai Creta may offer stronger brand familiarity, an established service network and easier resale in markets where Hyundai has operated for many years.
The Coolray can provide more engine performance and equipment for the purchase price, especially in 1.5T form.
The buyer should evaluate the difference between official local support and a lower-cost China parallel import. A specification advantage does not automatically replace access to parts, diagnostics and warranty service.
Who should buy the 2025 Geely Coolray?
The 1.5L manual is appropriate for dealers and buyers who need the lowest acquisition cost and have clear demand for a manual gasoline SUV.
The 1.5L CVT is suitable for urban commuters, rental fleets and small families that want an affordable automatic.
The 1.5T Coolray L is the better match for buyers who expect stronger overtaking performance, sportier styling and higher available technology.
The vehicle may be less suitable for customers requiring:
- all-wheel drive;
- seven seats;
- serious off-road capability;
- guaranteed operation of every China connected service;
- or full warranty coverage from an official destination-market Geely distributor.
Frequently asked questions about the 2025 Geely Coolray
What is the lowest FOB price for a 2025 Geely Coolray?
A reasonable public reference is approximately USD 9,200 FOB China port for the 1.5L five-speed manual Super Edition. The exact price must be recalculated against current vehicle stock and export costs.
Is Geely Coolray the same vehicle as Geely Binyue?
Coolray is the international name, while China-market documents normally use Binyue. However, the 1.5L Binyue and 1.5T Binyue L have different body lengths, engines, transmissions and equipment.
Why do some Coolray listings show 172, 174 or 181 horsepower?
Specifications vary by production market and engine calibration, and some listings also use different horsepower conversion methods. Verify the rated power from the selected vehicle’s documents and production label.
Which version is better for export: manual, CVT or 7DCT?
The manual offers the lowest entry cost, the CVT is easier for city and fleet operation, and the 7DCT provides the strongest performance. The correct choice depends on destination-market demand.
Does the China-spec Coolray have all-wheel drive?
The 2025 China-market versions described on this page use front-wheel drive. Do not apply an overseas specification without checking the VIN.
Is the 1.5T Coolray L suitable for heavy traffic?
It can be used in urban traffic, but the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission should be inspected for smooth low-speed operation, reverse engagement and hill-start behavior.
Does every Coolray have a 14.6-inch screen and Level 2 assistance?
No. These features depend on the trim. The lowest 1.5L and 1.5T versions may have simpler equipment.
Can Flyme Auto work outside China?
Some offline controls may work, but navigation, apps, voice services, account functions and remote control can depend on Chinese networks and regional cloud services.
Can the Coolray be quoted on CIF terms?
Yes. A CIF quotation can be prepared after the destination port, exact version, quantity and current freight rate are confirmed. Destination taxes and customs clearance are not automatically included.
What should be checked before payment?
Check the VIN, powertrain, model family, equipment, vehicle status, software, actual condition, export eligibility and document package before releasing final payment.
