Geely unveiled the first FOTA update plan for the Xingrui model at the 18th Guangzhou International Auto Show, announcing that it is the first gasoline car in the industry to achieve OTA.
Geely will carry out OTA update for Xingrui from six areas: power domain, chassis domain, body domain, ADAS domain, connectivity domain and infotainment domain, allowing the car to be like a cell phone through OTA continuous function upgrade and optimization.
The Xingrui FOTA GOS 01 version 1.0 adds RPA remote auto-parking function and optimizes the 540° panoramic image function and NVH performance of the car.
In terms of in-car navigation, Xingrui will add Baidu Map, which supports road condition prediction, congestion dissipation/accelerations, and instrument screen.

Geely said that all customers who purchase the car before December 31 will be able to enjoy free OTA upgrades for one year.
The OTA upgrade will take about 30 minutes, and users are free to choose the time to book the upgrade.
