So, that’s the same for all the X50 models. However, when compared to the X70, the X50 is obviously smaller. Figuratively speaking, it is 139 mm shorter, 85 mm lower, and 31 mm narrower. Its wheelbase is 70 mm shorter than the big boy.
Compared to another B-segment SUV, the Honda HR-V. The X50 is 4 mm taller, 4 mm shorter, and 10 mm wider. Its wheelbase is 10 mm shorter than the HR-V.

With four variants on offer, three (Standard, Premium, Executive) are powered by a '1.5T' engine in a port-injected version. While the flagship model is powered by a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol mill developed by Volvo and Geely. And then there is the obvious power and torque difference.

There are a few safety gears that are only limited to the range-topping Flagship model, like autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, intelligent cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot information system, intelligent high beam control, and auto park assist.
But still X50’s standard safety kit doesn’t disappoint and makes the drive feel safe and secure.
