This program will allow users to customize aspects such as car paint, interior color schemes, and Flyme Auto themes. Meizu positions it as the world's first mass-produced vehicle deeply customized by users.

The Meizu MX will be based on Geely’s SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) and Industry 4.0 manufacturing capabilities.
