Overview

The "BL" name stands for "Beauty Leopard" which is the direct meaning of the Chinese name Meirenbao (美人豹). The car was designed with help from Daewoo and was introduced to production in January, 2003. It is best known outside China for being the first vehicle with an in-car karaoke machine. The car's design seems to copy mostly the Toyota Celica, with the front taking inspiration from the Honda Integra and the rear from the Toyota Supra.

The Geely BL is considered a sports car in China, and it has a top speed of 180 km/h (approx 111 mph).

The Geely BL is powered by a 1.3 L engine which is a Toyota Motor Corporation design, produced by Xiali.

Production ended in 2006.
