In the automobile consumer market in recent years, the progress of the Geely brand is obvious to all. From the boutique SUV model Boyue launched 5 years ago (picture | configuration | inquiry), to the Boyue PRO upgraded according to consumer needs, it has gradually refreshed consumers' views on independent brand products. Now that the upgraded Laiboyue X is now on the market, we also conducted a test drive experience as soon as possible to see what upgrades it has.
The model we tested this time is: 1.8TD+7DCT-intelligent model, which is the top-end model. The most intuitive change that Boyue X gives consumers is the more radical styling design. The front face adopts a brand new "Energy Storm" design language. The overall blackened large front grille presents a diffusive X-shaped design. It combines the silver decoration with the diamond-shaped horns on both sides to create a good visual impact. Boyue X also added orange decorative parts to embellish the air intakes on both sides of the front face to enhance the personality of the vehicle.
In terms of the side shape of the body, Boyue X adopts a large number of straight body lines designs, and the waistline of the body adopts a concave design, which looks a bit sharp. The D-pillars of the vehicle were also blackened to create a visual effect of the suspended roof. In addition, the side skirts of the new car are decorated with black guard plates and are decorated with orange trim. They are combined with black wheels and red brake calipers, bringing a good sporty atmosphere.
In terms of rear design, Boyue X has been upgraded to the rear surround shape, which looks more three-dimensional overall, and the bottom is equipped with silver guard plate decoration that emphasizes the sense of power. It is worth mentioning that Boyue X also provides consumers with unique body color schemes in 5 super gray, cool white, free and easy blue, shiny silver, and mysterious black.
The overall interior layout of Boyue X continues the design style of Boyue PRO models and provides two color schemes to choose from, one is blue and white, and the other is black and red, bringing a good personality atmosphere. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and central control screen are built into the latest Geely Galaxy OS system, providing a more intelligent voice interaction experience. At the same time, the built-in WeChat, QQ music , Hi-Car and other applications are also more practical, and they are also very smooth during actual use.
Below the central control screen of Boyue X, the physical buttons for air conditioning control are retained, greatly increasing the safety of blind operation during driving, and the vehicle's gear handle provides functional buttons for driving. There is also a knob for adjusting the driving mode at the rear, which is very convenient to operate.
Boyue X is equipped with an 1.8Th engine with a maximum power of 184 horsepower, and is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. During actual driving, although the Boyue X's power response cannot achieve radical performance, it is still very sufficient for daily use. It is worth mentioning that the smooth power output of Boyue X is still worthy of praise, and driving in the city is a relaxed and comfortable expression.
In terms of the vehicle's chassis performance, Boyue X also has a solid and tough performance. When passing through some bumpy sections, the suspension is handled relatively neatly and there will be no unnecessary vibration transmitted to the cab. At the same time, when cornering, the vehicle's roll is also well controlled, creating a good overall feeling.
Finally, we also experienced the L2+-level assisted driving function equipped by Boyue X, which provides automatic stop and follow-up adaptive battery life function, which is very intelligent in actual use, greatly reducing the driver's driving burden. Overall, it is still very practical.
Through a comprehensive experience in one day, the overall performance of Boyue X is still worthy of praise. It not only provides a styling design that meets the personal needs of young consumers at present, but also has everything in the interior configuration. With a good driving experience and a sincere starting price of 112,800 yuan, it is still very competitive among competitors at the same level. Finally, let us look forward to its market performance together.
