The Geely Xingyue L was code named the KX11 during development phase, and was designed by the Geely Design Global Center in Shanghai, China. The Geely Xingyue L rides on the CMA platform shared with the Geely Xingyue fastback compact crossover while being significantly larger and is positioned as a mid-size crossover SUV. According to Geely, the L means Larger (更大), Luxury (豪华), and Liberate (颠覆).[6]

The Xingyue L is powered by the Drive-E series VEP4 2.0 liter inline-4 turbocharged injection engine from Volvo. The engine is available as the 2.0TD-T4 Evo and 2.0TD-T5 variants, with the 2.0TD-T4 Evo developing 218 hp (163 kW; 221 PS) and 325 N⋅m (240 lb⋅ft) of torque, and the more powerful 2.0TD-T5 variant developing 238 hp (177 kW; 241 PS) and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft). Transmissions are a 7-speed DCT for the 2.0TD-T4 Evo engine and a 8-speed from Aisin for the 2.0TD-T5 engine.[7]

The 2.0TD high output model has a 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration of 7.7 seconds, while the 2.0TD middle output model has a 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration of 7.9 seconds, with a braking distance of 37.37 m (122.6 ft).[7]
