Boyue L's comprehensive strength is very outstanding and has the potential to become a hit.
6 years ago, the emergence of Geely Boyue has improved the comprehensive quality of domestic independent SUVs by several levels in one fell swoop. Not only has it become a hot-selling model for several years, it has also driven the overall industry to develop in three major directions: higher quality, higher configuration and higher power.
Six years later, at the critical moment when the domestic automobile market began to turn to electrification and intelligence, Geely Auto launched a new generation of Boyue L. The new car is developed based on CMA super architecture and is equipped with the dual power system of Thunder God Zhiqing Hi·F oil-electric hybrid and Drive-E. At the same time, the entire series is equipped with L2-level intelligent driving assistance (optional NOA pilot assistance), Galaxy OS smart car machine, aerospace level 7 series aluminum alloy anti-collision beam and racing-grade brake system, making the domestic A-class SUV market open again.
In addition, Boyue L also allows A-class SUV to achieve "technology equality" for the first time. All the top ten core technology configurations appear as standard, including: Geely Galaxy OS Air version, 13.2-inch central control vertical screen, 10.25-inch digital LCD instrument, L2-level intelligent driving assistance system, 540° Eye of God transparent chassis, mobile APP remote control, and 178LX digital rhythm LED headlights, etc. From the perspective of strength, it definitely has the potential to continue the previous generation of Boyue to become a hot product.
(*The following real-photo models are Boyue L Hi·F Thor hybrid version, and the car system is not final mass production status)
Boyue L is a new car launched in late 2022, with enough current fashion and trendy elements designs, such as the front and rear ring light group, a larger front grille and a classic suspended roof. However, in order to gain prominence, Boyue L has made more innovations in details.
is the front face of the new car's first impression. Boyue L uses a set of upper and lower split grilles. The inner lines of the grille are centered on the license plate position, showing a laser scattering situation to four angles. It looks very deep with the bright black scale-like decoration group. The front lights of Boyue L are also very interesting. In terms of design, it adopts a breakpoint style ring LED light strip, and vertical light effects are added on both sides to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the whole vehicle. The dual LED headlights are hidden inside the black grille, so it is really not easy to find if they are not turned on. Coupled with the luminous front logo, the lighting effect brought by 182 LED light sources, the front face of the new car is unforgettable.
Then at the rear of the vehicle, Boyue L obviously has no feeling of being a tiger-headed and a slashed tail. The overall feeling of the rear of the new car is very strong. A cross-type taillight with an equally designed sense extends up and down on both sides, and it fits perfectly with the rear windshield glass and the trunk lid. This design really makes many Virgos feel particularly comfortable. The taillight group is equipped with 290 LED light emitting units, which are bright and transparent when lit, and are exquisite and profound when turned off, and have the welcome/farewell scene light effect synchronized with the front face light source.
Boyue L's side, especially the part behind the C-pillar, has a temperament that is obviously similar to the first Boyue, which is considered a kind of inheritance. The side shape is not inferior to other models of the same level. The suspended model and the squeeze-sensing rear section make the body look eager to try. The lines on the doors and front and rear fenders are very hard and have a strong sense of power. The 20-inch two-color sports wheels of the real-life model play the finishing touch. In terms of
size, the length, width and height of Boyue L are: 4670×1900×1705mm, respectively, and are positioned as A-class SUV. The 2777mm ultra-long wheelbase and short front and rear suspension design form a 59.5% axis-length ratio, more direct directional control, stronger body stability, and greater longitudinal space in the car.
Although Boyue L does not use the very popular hidden door handle, its traditional handle is still not simple. Each door handle carries a blue logo of "99.9% antibacterial". This is because it has added a special antibacterial coating to the door handle. The killing rate of Staphylococcus aureus is 99.99%, and the killing rate of E. coli is 99.99%. The killing rate of coronavirus (including new crown ) is 99.99%, and it can inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses for a long time. It is considered a first in the industry.
The independent brand is willing to spend money on it, and it can be easily reflected in tires and braking systems.The actual shooting of Boyue L Hi·F Thor hybrid version is equipped with a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 SUV tires, with a specification of 245/45 R20. The brake system is reported to be a race-based level, and the actual braking distance performance is worth looking forward to.
Another thing that must be mentioned is that Boyue L is the only model on the market that comes with L2-level intelligent driving assistance standard in the entire series. No matter which version, you can see the mm wave radar in the front and rear ADAS high-definition camera sensor, etc. The optional NOA lane-level automatic piloting system can use the centimeter-level high-precision map to realize fully automatic driving at high-speed toll stations to point in addition to automatic follow-up and automatic lane change. People can only supervise driving while driving. The interior of
Boyue L looks quite simple and refreshing, especially the real-life Hi·F Thor hybrid version of the snow-mountain white + dark blue color combination, coupled with a large amount of environmentally friendly suede covering, the texture creation is still a benchmark of the same level. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with many digital technology-filled configurations such as AR-HUD, 13.2-inch central control vertical screen, wraparound emotional light curtain, antibacterial steering wheel, crystal diamond gear handle, immersive headrest audio, and the new Geely Galaxy OS Air version supported by Qualcomm 8155 chip. It also creates practical designs such as light and shadow sunglasses, sun visors, and double-layer adjustable suitcases.
First look at the steering wheel. The double color-blocked flat bottom sporty shape is visually in place. The multi-function button layout on both sides also satisfy the configuration control. The left side is mainly responsible for intelligent driving assistance. In addition to regular media control, the right side can also cooperate with the aerial screen to perform vehicle settings such as rearview mirrors, which has a sense of technology.
In addition, Boyue L insists on the antibacterial design to the end. The steering wheel that needs to be touched the most when you get into the car also uses a unique antibacterial coating. The antibacterial rate reaches the national level I standard, and the antibacterial rate for E. coli and other products reaches 99%. It has efficient inhibition, sterilization, disinfection and deodorization functions to achieve self-cleaning of the steering wheel.
Secondly, there is another thing that is really surprising. Boyue L has also played with new tricks on the sun visor that has not changed for many years. It divides the sun visor into two parts. The upper part retains the traditional material, as well as the makeup mirror and fill light, and the lower part uses PC optical material with ultraviolet and light-shielding effects, similar to our "sun glasses" effect, which isolates strong light and ultraviolet rays without blocking the line of sight. From now on, there is no need to prepare sunglasses for Kaiboyue L. The Geely Galaxy OS Air smart car system on Boyue L is not the final version, but judging from the current UI design and operating experience, it is already very prominent in the same level. The overall interface layout has a feeling of Hongmeng. The main interface is full of white space, and wallpaper can be replaced. Pulling up and down can trigger the shortcut function bar and Dock module similar to smartphones.
Since the center control panel cancels the traditional general functional physical buttons (including rearview mirror adjustment), Boyue L's conventional vehicle settings and air conditioning control need to be completed by large-screen operation. Fortunately, as long as the startup is completed, with the strength of Qualcomm 8155 chip, the user experience of all car functions is very smooth without any lag. Even the intelligent voice assistant "Hello, Geely " it is equipped with, and supports continuous input of visible and speaking, multi-sound zone positioning, offline use, and wake-up-free words, and can recognize 10+ continuous command inputs within 20 seconds, and the recognition accuracy is also excellent.
is different from our common horizontal bar ambient lights. Boyue L's 72-color ambient light adopts a vertical design. 27 sets of ambient lights run through the center console and the door panels on both sides, and are integrated with the instrument effect. It can express "emotion" by simulating voice patterns, breathing, and flowing water changes. In combination with the dynamic mode of multiple scenes, it can give users a more immersive effect. Yanfei Lishi Audio with
1 speakers, combined with the exclusive Logic7 surround sound processing patented technology, provides a luxurious experience in sound quality and sound effects. In addition, Boyue L also provides smart headrest speakers similar to the QR M5. In the driving mode, the main driver's headrest speaker can independently navigate and broadcast telephone; in the private mode, only the main driver's headrest speakers are used for media playback, reducing the impact on other members in the car.Boyue L is equipped with a very exquisite diamond-cut electronic gear lever. The "Thor Power" logo engraved in the gear lever shows the driving passion that is about to break out. The configurations that passengers in front row of
can enjoy include wireless charging of the mobile phone, dual cup holder, dual USB port and seat heating (the main driver is equipped with seat ventilation). Due to the design of the electronic gear lever, a large storage space can be created under the operating table. In addition, the flexible space on the door panel and a large central armrest box, Boyue L is absolutely sufficient for storage as a home SUV.
In terms of riding experience, Boyue L has created Air-sofa super-sensing seats for users that take into account both sports and comfort. The seat profile is fully fitted according to the human body curve of Chinese users, with lumbar support adjustment and shoulder support. The key parts of the lumbar support are made of environmentally friendly suede material, which has stronger friction. The seat cushion is equipped with an adjustable leg support unique to the same level to relieve leg fatigue. In addition, it has 8 comfort functions including 6-way electric adjustment, 4-way electric lumbar support, suction-type seat ventilation (main driving), seat heating, and seat memory, and it is not inferior to that of the luxury brand in terms of experience. The rear seats of
are also wide and comfortable. The contact positions between the arms and both sides are also covered with unique soft material to enhance comfort. The rear passengers are also very excellent in experience, with outstanding space, and are equipped with independent air conditioning air outlets, central handrails and Type-C/USB interface. The floor in the middle is almost flat, which does not affect the comfort performance under full load.
.2 square meters giant screen panoramic sunroof is made of 100% shading fabric to effectively avoid direct sunlight and have better thermal insulation performance. Boyue L's trunk space is definitely the top level in the same class. The rear seats support 4/6 proportions, and the suitcase partition adopts a flexible adjustment double-layer design, with a volume space of 650L, which can be expanded to 1610L. When the partition is in the upper position, the suitcase is flat and there is a large storage space at the lower position, which can store shoes, umbrellas, fishing rods and other items; when it is necessary to place large items, the partition can be adjusted to the lower position. At this time, the suitcase can be stacked with 3 20-inch suitcases, and the entire scene meets the user's storage needs. In terms of power, Boyue L will provide two traditional power versions equipped with Drive-E engine, 1.5T and 2.0T, as well as Thor Hi·F hybrid power versions. The maximum power of the 1.5T and 2.0T engines are 133kW (181 horsepower) and 160kW (218 horsepower), with peak torques of 290N·m and 325N·m, respectively. In terms of transmission, the entire series of models is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The Boyue L Hi·F hybrid version of
is real-time filmed without charging. It is equipped with the world's first variable frequency hybrid electric drive 3DHT Pro. It has 20 intelligent working modes and 3-speed speed ratio , which can realize full-speed parallel drive. According to tests, the fuel consumption of the new car's NEDC is only 4.2L per 100 kilometers, and the comprehensive range can reach 1300km.
Editor's summary: Geely Boyue L has started pre-ordering in August, and the official price has not been announced yet. We predict that its positioning will be slightly lower than Xingyue L, so there is quite room for imaginative price. It is undeniable that Boyue L's comprehensive strength is very outstanding and has the potential to become a hit. However, there is also a situation that needs to be considered: there are only a handful of independent products that can compete with the first generation of Boyue six years ago, but now all the companies are blooming, and their overall qualities are good. If Boyue L wants to stand out, he has to come up with some means.
