In the first half of 2022, Xingyue L and Boyue ranked among the top two sales of the Geely SUV category respectively. Faced with the strong momentum of "later little brother", Boyue, the previous big brother, also began his own evolutionary path. As the "big brother" in the Geely Auto SUV family, since its launch in 2016, the sales volume of Geely Boyue has exceeded 1.4 million units. After Geely named FX11 as Boyue L, Boyue models have also ushered in their "new moment".
.1257 million yuan to 170,700 yuan. Just looking at this price is really no different from SUVs of other brands. So in what ways does Boyue L win the attention of consumers? Including Boyue L, there are really many new independent brand SUVs this year. Not only should everyone reflect their own brand design concepts in appearance, but they should also have their own characteristics in their internal configuration and power form. The electric hybrid model, which has been very popular since last year, has gradually been used by brands we are familiar with.
Look at the current market, GAC Trumpchi Yingku, Great Wall Haval H6, Dongfeng Fengshen Haoji, not to mention the many DM-i models of BYD . Today's consumers want to choose a hybrid model, and they no longer buy products at a price of more than 200,000 yuan like before. The hybrid price has dropped to the range of 150,000 yuan. Our own brand has made an indelible contribution.
The hybrid battle between independent brands is "intensifying". Which Geely Boyue L is more suitable for our consumers to choose from for 125,700 to 170,700 yuan? The Boyue L launched this time is divided into three power six models, namely the 1.5T, 2.0T and 1.5TD Thor hybrid products. For the appearance of new cars, models like Xingyue L, Xingrui and other familiar ones belong to the more "stable" style of Geely brands, and this time the Boyue L's styling has become "cool".
Boyue L, built on the concept car of "Vision Starburst", not only inherits the "ripples" elements of the previous Geely models, but also makes more "mech, future" feel integrated into the new car. The length, width and height of 4670mm*1900mm*1705mm and the wheelbase of 2777mm, combined with the front face large mouth shape, large area air intake grille, full LED light group on the front and rear, two-color body and suspended roof design, Boyue L looks no different from a new energy vehicle. Although many brands now use similar designs in new cars, Boyue L, which is the main selling point of fuel vehicles, is still relatively novel.
Boyue L's changes outside the car were also brought into the car by Geely. The new interior style makes the visual experience in Boyue L's car more prominent. Previously, Geely brand used the connecting screen layout to replace the central control vertical screen, and at the same time, combined with the "welcome mode, goddess mode" in the car atmosphere effect, let consumers get more sense of ritual. In terms of configuration, the fragrance system, up to 11 Harman Infinity speakers, and the Galaxy OS Air version of the car system have also been included in the Boyue L model, and the 15 standard configurations inside and outside the car also make the Boyue L have a good cost-effective advantage in entry-level products. It is obviously irresponsible to choose without looking at the price. However, judging from the layout of Boyue L models, we can divide Boyue L into two major selection ranges: less than 150,000 yuan and more than 150,000 yuan.
Let’s talk about the conclusion first. In the budget of less than 150,000 yuan, we first recommend the 2.0TD premium model with a guide price of 145,700 yuan, and then choose the 1.5TD premium version with a guide price of 131,700 yuan. For more than 150,000 yuan, we recommend everyone's first choice of the 155,700 yuan version of Thor Hi·F Super Xun.
Since the SUV market has entered the most competitive moment now, once a brand wants to launch a new product, it must be "one step ahead" in terms of intelligence and power. From this dimension, the combination of Boyue L's 2.0TD+7DCT will obviously have more power advantages than its entry-level products. The maximum power is 160 kilowatts, the peak torque is 325 Nm, and the use of mid-cylinder direct injection technology and low-inertia exhaust gas turbocharger technology gives this 2.0T model better corresponding capabilities and lower fuel consumption.
At the same time, as a high-end model in the fuel sequence, whether it is the 2.0TD or the 1.5TD premium version, it is extremely rich in configuration. In addition to the 15 standard configurations mentioned above, we should pay attention to the NOA intelligent driving assistance system in Boyue L. With the support of technology such as high-precision positioning, VR navigation and dynamic monitoring, Boyue L can intelligently complete operations such as remitting to the main road, automatic acceleration and deceleration, lane change and overtaking based on vehicle speed and traffic conditions, further strengthening the convenience and safety of Boyue L in daily driving. On the other hand, although the 1.5TD luxury model is sufficiently equipped, the detailed configurations such as 18-inch wheels, non-opening sunroof, no wireless charging, and no electric trunk can only be given up temporarily.
In addition, when we focus on the hybrid field, the Thor Hi·F Super Xun version equipped with Thor hybrid technology is our most recommended model. If you don’t look at the configuration, look at the power first. The 3-speed variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro used in the Boyue L hybrid version can switch the power format at speed: pure electric at low speed, electricity is mainly used to drive the vehicle. This is the characteristic of "oil and pointable" that also makes the ideal fuel consumption of Boyue L Thor Hi·F oil-electric hybrid models only 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers, and there will be no big problem if a box of oil travels 1,000 kilometers.
Since the price of Boyue L using Thor Hi·F hybrid technology has also increased to more than 150,000 yuan, its configuration will also change accordingly. Compared with our preferred 2.0TD+7DCT premium model, although the Thor Hi·F Super version has changed in wireless charging and sunroof configurations, the seat adjustment form is richer. Buying a more fuel-efficient electric hybrid model with a price difference of 10,000 yuan will probably impress many consumers who are holding coins to buy.
Reasonable price, support from CMA architecture, new internal and external design, and the combination of multiple power forms. The emergence of Geely Boyue L will also add more "optional" to the SUV market. Through the continuous accumulation of Geely brands over the years, this new Boyue L (especially the Thor hybrid version model) is really worthy of our consumers' attention.
