Boyue L comes from the CMA architecture platform. The appearance adopts the "digital symphony technology aesthetics" design language, which basically restores the "Vision Starburst" concept car style. It has almost no correlation with the current Geely models in appearance. It not only looks fresh, but also bold and avant-garde. In terms of color, there are 4 monochromes: Orion Silver, Unbounded Black, Moon Shadow White, and Diamond Star Night Blue, as well as 3 colors: Black + Orion Silver, Black + Moon Shadow White, and Black + Diamond Star Night Blue.
The huge shield-shaped center grid occupies most of the front face. The inner grille is densely parametric, and each piece is different. The overall feeling is divergent, which can be regarded as the inheritance of the previous "ripples" grille. There are through-type daytime running lights on the upper edge of the grille, with light strips on both sides surrounding the side, supporting welcome speeches and light shows, and the central logo can also shine.
integrated low high beam light is integrated inside the grille, and the concealment is done very well. Although the area is small, the brightness is very strong. The brightness of the low-beam illumination is 178LX, and the effective illumination distance of the high beam reaches 168 meters.
From the side, the proportion of the car body after the wheelbase is extended has increased significantly. The front and rear hanging is relatively short, the height is lower, and it feels a bit sporty. The body uses more tough lines, especially the angle between the inclined waistline and the horizontal line is very large and exaggerated, and it meets the downward roof at the rear, making the tail window area compressed and smaller. The two-color body combination is also quite fashionable. A wraparound black bottom skirt is added from front to rear, which retains some of the wild flavor of traditional SUVs.
body size length, width and height are 4670/1900/1705mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2777mm. The wheelbase lengthening effect is significant, surpassing several compact SUVs with long wheelbase as the selling point. In addition, the body width is also excellent and the height is moderate.

The camera has a high degree of integration and comes with a 540° panoramic image with a transparent chassis, which is very practical. The exterior rearview mirror also supports electric adjustment, folding, memory, heating and automatic folding of the car lock.

The disinfection can be completed in 2 to 3 seconds when the hand contacts, especially the killing rate of the new coronavirus is as high as 99.99%, and it can inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses for a long time. It is a very suitable configuration and is done with great care. The front keyless entry function is standard for all models, and there is no problem with convenience.

tail shape is also angular, and the through-type taillight shape is sharp, making people afraid to "cut" their palms. The interior consists of 290 luminous units, which can also realize dynamic welcome speech. The tail window has a large inclination and looks low in height. The top uses a large-sized tail wing to reduce wind resistance. bumper is very complicatedly decorated, with large-area pipe openings on both sides and segmented diffusion at the bottom, which is very sporty.
car also adopts a new layout style, adopting a 13.2-inch vertical central control screen for the first time. The entire center console and door panel are a stage with "digital rhythm". Many vertical light strips are arranged between the painted panels, which play the effect of welcoming lights and rhythms with music, making the car full of vitality. Another innovative point is the sunglasses-style sun visor, which not only protects the sunshade but also does not affect the vision ahead. It is very useful when climbing hills.
four-spoke multi-function steering wheel adopts a flat bottom shape with a high-end and black and brown color combination, and the imitation leather material feels comfortable to touch and is also suitable for the size. The banner uses a combination of buttons and rollers, which is also easier to use. The left side is used to control the driving assistance system. The entire series is equipped with L2-level driving assistance system standard and supports NOA high-level assistance functions. It can realize automatic lane change and overtaking, automatic ramping and other functions on highway and elevated road sections.

It has a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, 8-core CPU, 16G memory + 128G storage. The software is the latest Galaxy OS Air version system. It adopts a clean desktop style and a bottom card entrance. It has a rich integrated functions. The main menu is vertically listed on the left. Each function can be entered at one time, and there is also an intuitive screen display, which is quite good.
Since the hardware can be controlled through the screen operation, the gear lever table saves cumbersome physical buttons, and only a small number of mechanical buttons such as electronic gear lever, "P" parking gear, electronic handbrake button are retained on the table, and the hollow crystal gear lever head is also relatively exquisite. There is a mobile phone with a wireless charging module in the front, and two independent water cup holders with limiters are located at the rear. The lower double channel storage space is highly abundant, with built-in dual USB interface and 12V power supply.
The car cabin is made of exquisite materials, suede material is added above the center console, and the door panel is also wrapped in a large area of beige leather. The combination of radiant patterns, matrix piano lacquer decorative panels and silver door handles creates a certain luxurious atmosphere. In addition, except for some entry-level models, they are equipped with Infinity Yanfei Lishi audio with 11 speakers to create an immersive auditory enjoyment.
front seats come with imitation leather wrapping, and the beige leather surface adds stitching, making it look exquisite. The headrest incorporates the exclusive audio of the main driver and also provides manual adjustment leg support, which is a rare configuration in the same class. The seat fill is full, the backrest and headrest have good lateral support, and the comfort is high.

The co-pilot only supports front and rear and backrest electric adjustments.
rear seat material is the same as the front seat, the filling is thicker, the cushion is sufficient in length, and the backrest is also lateral support, which is also very comfortable, but the middle seat back is up to the waist, so it is still not possible to ride for a long distance. In terms of space, Kandi is 175cm tall, with a little more leg space, one and a half punches on the top of his head, and a lot of horizontal direction. With the full flat floor, it can be said to be very outstanding. It provides floor-mounted air outlet, USB port and Type-C port, and two water cup holders that can fold the center armrest.
Except for the entry-level models, the rest are equipped with open panoramic sunroofs with a size of 1.2㎡. The opening directly extends to the upper part of the rear row, making the car very bright.
trunk volume has not been announced yet, but the visual capacity is relatively large, with good depth and horizontal direction, but the height of the rear section is affected by the inclined tail window. The estimated volume should be above 500L, which is enough for long-distance travel. The rear seats also support 4:6 folding, and the flatness is also good. Below the floor is equipped with a partially-full-sized spare tire and emergency tools. Except for low-end models, the rest are equipped with electric tailgate with position memory.There are three options for power, namely: a 1.5T four-cylinder engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 133kW (181Ps)/5500rpm, a maximum torque of 90Nm/2000-3500rpm, and a WLTC fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km; a 2.0T engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 160kW (218Ps), a maximum torque of 325Nm, and a WLTC fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km; there is also a set of Thor Hi·F hybrid version, which uses a hybrid system composed of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine and a 3-speed DHT and dual-electric mechanism, with a comprehensive power 180kW (245Ps), the combined torque reaches 545Nm, and the WLTC fuel consumption is as low as 4.7/100km. In terms of
chassis, it adopts a front McPherson independent type + rear multi-link independent type suspension combination, both of which are front front-wheel drive layouts.
Kandi comments:
compact SUV is the most intense market for intra-rolling, and no product can do anything wrong. Boyue L did not find any obvious shortcomings in terms of static experience. Instead, its tough and avant-garde shape, digital interactive interior, and large space left a deep impression on us. Of course, its driving assistance system that surpasses the L2 level is also worth looking forward to, and the 2.0T power is also a "overpower" configuration. We believe that the 2.0T power should be launched with a four-wheel drive version, which will be more friendly to northern users. It is expected that Boyue L will have a good market performance. Although it is difficult to shake Song PLUS's position, it can step on H6 again.
