Appearance: Digital symphonic technological aesthetics, avant-garde and fashionable styling
In terms of appearance, the Boyue L has a strong sense of freshness. It is different from the Geely family’s models. The appearance is inspired by the “Vision Starburst” concept car and is officially called the “Digital Symphonic Technology Aesthetics” design language. , the shape is very avant-garde and fashionable.
The headlights of the new car are quite eye-catching and adopt a combined design. The through-type daytime running lights are composed of 182 LED light-emitting units, and the flat-designed Geely logo can also be lit, making it easy to distinguish at night. The degree is self-evident. In addition to the regular lighting effects, it also has a variety of light languages for welcome, farewell, car lock delay and extinguishing, as well as music and light shows.
In terms of body size, the length/width/height of the new car are 4670*1900*1705mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2777mm. Such parameters are among the best in the same class.It is above average level. The two-color body design is adopted on the side, creating the visual effect of a suspended roof. In addition, the surface of the new car door handle uses an anti-viral coating, which officials claim has a 99.99% sterilization rate and can inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses for a long time.
The black rear wing on the top and the black decorative panel on the bottom are very eye-catching, creating a very strong sporty atmosphere and a lower visual center of gravity. The taillights echo the headlights. They also use combined position lights and through-light strips. They are composed of 290 LED light-emitting units inside. The ultra-red LEDs with a wavelength of 633nm are bright and transparent when lit. They also have a welcome and farewell effect when turned off. , lock the car and delay the extinguishing of various light signals.
The new car is equipped with the Goodyear Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 SUV, with tire specifications of 245/45 R20. This is a special tire for SUV models that focuses on sports handling and also takes into account certain non-paved road driving capabilities.
Interior: The materials are of outstanding quality and equipped with a 13.2-inch central control vertical screen
The interior design of the new car is also very different from previous Geely models. It adopts an enveloping cockpit design concept. The central control panel with a rhythmic interactive light curtain runs through the entire instrument panel, which plays a role in improving the sophistication of the interior. Great effect. The materials used are slush molding, leather, environmentally friendly suede and other materials, as well as stitching embellishments. The visual effect, texture and touch are very good.
The 13.2-inch vertical screen of the central control is very "eye-catching". This is also the first time Geely has used a vertical screen design. The central control screen is arranged in the center console at a certain angle, which is ergonomic and seamlessly connected with the central tunnel, enhancing the overall sense of the interior. Combined with a 10.25-inch full LCD digital instrument and a 25.6-inch AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display system, three-screen intelligent interaction can be achieved.
In terms of configuration, Boyue L is equipped with infinity Hi·Fi-level 11-speaker audio, coupled with the exclusive Logic7 surround sound processing patented technology, the sound quality is excellent. The unique immersive headrest audio in its class can realize separate transmission of driving and entertainment signals, has independent sound source control, and provides three modes of private/driving/sharing. When the co-pilot is occupied, it can intelligently switch to the driving mode to realize Music and navigation do not interfere with each other.
Boyue L seats are very comfortable. The two-color seats have a high-end feel and are wrapped in environmentally friendly suede, which feels very delicate. The front seats of the new car are equipped with electric adjustment, and the main driver's seat cushion is equipped with adjustable leg rests unique to its class to relieve leg fatigue. The rear seats are also very comfortable, with moderate softness and hardness in the seat material and internal padding.
Space: The seating space is spacious and has certain advantages in its class
In terms of spatial performance, height is 180cmcm experiencers sit in the front row, with the seat adjusted to the lowest position, and the headroom is more than a punch. Coming to the back row, with the front seats unchanged, the experiencer still has one punch of headroom and more than two punches of legroom, which has certain advantages in the same class.
Power: Provides 3 types of power: 2.0T, 1.5T and 1.5T Thor Hi·F hybrid
In terms of power, the new car offers two fuel powertrain options: Drive-E series 2.0TD+7DCT and Geely Jinqing 1.5TD+7DCT. Among them, the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 325N·m; the 1.5T engine The maximum power is 133kW and the maximum torque is 290N·m.
In addition, the new car also launches the Raytheon Zhiqing Hi·F petrol-electric hybrid version, which is equipped with the world's first 3-speed electric drive gearbox, with NEDC fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km and NEDC comprehensive range of 1,300km.
Test drive: All tests performed well, with both control and comfort in mind
For this set of Thor Hi·F power, Boyue L is not the first to be equipped with it. It has been used in the previous Xingyue L model, and it all comes from Geely's CMA architecture. The biggest advantage of this hybrid system is that it is economical and fuel-saving. Officially announced that under NEDC working conditions, it can travel 1,300km with a full tank of fuel, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.2L.
In the track experience session, the first thing that makes people feel excited is the straight-line acceleration. Once the oil is on the floor, the 1.5T Thor Hi·F hybrid version has the intervention of the motor, and the torque output does not require the speed to rise like a fuel vehicle, so the starting acceleration will be faster. However, due to displacement constraints, the rear-end power performance of the 1.5T Thor Hi·F hybrid version is weaker than that of the 2.0T model.
The vehicle has 4 driving modes, namely economy, comfort, sport, and smart. After switching to the smart driving mode, the driver can choose whether to be driven by electric drive, direct drive, or gasoline-electric hybrid drive according to the driver's intention. If the vehicle is driven entirely by the motor when driving at low speed in urban areas, the energy flow direction can be seen on the instrument and the engine speed is displayed as 0. Once overtaking is required, the engine will intervene.
In the middle of the process, release the accelerator and then step on it again. The power connection is smooth and there is no sudden feeling. It is very similar to the driving experience of a pure electric vehicle. Especially during rapid acceleration, the sudden burst of pushing on your back will make you feel a little bit heady. Therefore, for daily household use, despite the small displacement of the 1.5T hybrid, the power reserve is completely sufficient when driving.
Going through slippery curved roads at a speed of 70km/h, the Boyue L did not slip at all, and its passing posture was very stable, giving the driver enough confidence. The steering wheel feels comfortable to hold and does not strain your nerves at all.Although it is still oriented towards home use, the space between the steering wheels is not large and the damping is very even, making it easy to control firmly.
For daily urban driving, the Boyue L is equipped with the NOA high-end intelligent driving pilot system, which has reached the L2 level and can realize intelligent pilot driving from point A to point B in high-speed/elevated scenarios. Judging from the on-site experience, it is similar to the intelligent driving assistance system of some pure electric vehicles today. After turning it on, an adaptive cruise screen will appear on the instrument panel to monitor surrounding vehicles or pedestrians. If it deviates from the lane, resistance will be fed back to the steering wheel to remind you. driver. However, when encountering some unclear road markings or making sharp turns, the system will automatically exit, and the driver must take over at this time.
What is more impressive is that during the serpentine roundabout and emergency avoidance process, when the vehicle passes at high speed, the roll is not very obvious. The suspension is very supportive and is not too soft or lacks support. . When running over speed bumps at low speeds, the suspension is relatively tough in filtering bumps and basically has no impact on comfort. The suspension action is crisp and clean, and the overall integrity is very good.
The braking feel is relatively light and the stroke is moderate. For a family car, this kind of adjustment can give people comfort. Just imagine, if your family is riding in it, and there is a traffic jam at the traffic light, then the sensitive braking will definitely Brings a sense of discomfort. The road on the track is relatively flat, so there was relatively little noise interference from the outside during the entire test drive. Like the Boyue, the sound insulation effect is still very good, and the comfort is as good as ever.
Comments: Balanced performance and outstanding texture, fully encircling the compact SUV market
For a compact SUV positioned for home use, it was hard to imagine that it could require too much. It must be economical and affordable, and it must also have dynamic performance, and at the same time, the technological configuration should not be bad. Today's Boyue L seems to be more "involved". From the first moment you touch it, you will feel a strong visual impact and bring a different experience. Especially after the test drive, many small details make people feel that they are very careful. The launch of the Boyue L will further enrich Geely's product line in the compact SUV market, filling the market gap between the Boyue and the Xingyue L, allowing Geely to fully cover the compact SUV market worth RMB 70,000-200,000. Range and products of various categories and tones.
Boyue L will still face several main models in the compact SUV market, including Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS. What needs to be mentioned here is that due to the rich product line, Geely's products in the compact SUV market are basically misaligned with mainstream competing products in terms of pricing and positioning, thus forming a trend of encirclement. It not only gives consumers more choices, but also makes each of its models more unique and cost-effective at the same price.
According to Bitauto App’s “Hot List” data, Boyue L’sThe average daily attention is 71,800, ranking 12th among competing products of the same level. If you need more data, please check the Bitauto App.
