With a budget of less than 150,000 yuan, choose an SUV with good looks and spacious space. There are many qualified models. On this basis, plus the excellent driving quality, Geely Boyue is the best choice. A car you won’t drive. If you are still greedy and want four-wheel drive, then the 2020 Geely Boyue PRO 1.5TD DCT smart four-wheel drive version that came to Kanche Home today is almost the only one on the market. The editor has been looking forward to this car for a long time, and today I will tell you about the product capabilities of this car in detail.
Exquisite appearance
The appearance of Geely Boyue PRO can be said to be suitable for both men and women, and suitable for all ages. Under the overall more traditional body lines, there are many fashionable elements. The front face continues to use the family's traditional cosmic echo style grille. The full LED headlights have excellent lighting effects and are also very good-looking. The four high-bulging muscle lines on the hood look full of muscle whether viewed from inside or outside the car.
The overall shape of the car side is very square, and the visual effect is larger than the actual size of the car body. The 18-inch wheels are satisfactory in terms of size and shape, and the suspended roof has become a tradition in the Boyue car series.
The design of the rear of the car is relatively simple, and the shape of the taillights echoes the headlights, making it highly recognizable at night. The real exhaust with double outlets on both sides understands the preferences of young people, and the AWD logo on the rear also indicates the four-wheel drive status of this model.
The interior has both a sense of luxury and technology
The overall interior of Geely Boyue PRO is dignified and elegant, and with a large number of soft materials wrapped, the sense of luxury is excellent in its class. The 12.3-inch LCD instrument has a very high resolution and the display quality is impeccable. Depending on the driving mode, the display interface can also change into different styles. I prefer the instrument display style that highlights the rpm and vehicle speed in the sports mode.
The 12.3-inch central control screen also has a delicate display effect and a sense of technology. Domestic brand vehicle and computer systems have always outperformed joint venture brands and even luxury imported brands, and Geely's latest GKUI 19 is the leader among domestic vehicle and computer systems. Although it does not support CarPlay, the built-in original Amap map is also equipped, and Baidu Map and Tencent Map can be installed. In terms of audio and video entertainment, it supports the installation of QQ Music and Kuwo Music, which is enough for normal use. In addition, cars that support OTA can also be upgraded to more functions in the future. In short, I am very satisfied with this system and it deserves praise.
The 360-degree panoramic image of Boyue PRO is also one of the best images I have ever used. First, the camera resolution is clear enough; second, the splicing of the four cameras within a 360-degree range is very natural. The third is an unexpected surprise. By recording the images of successive cameras driving by, the system can simulate a God's-eye view of the entire vehicle, which can help car owners avoid obstacles under the car when driving on bad roads. In fact, this kind of view effect can be regarded as an artifact on a hardcore off-road vehicle. I hope that all major hardcore off-road vehicle brands will quickly follow up with this configuration.
The more commonly used front row storage space of Boyue PRO is also above the standard. In addition to the conventional storage positions, the long storage compartment on the right side of the gear handle is perfect for storing mobile phones. Thanks to the structure of the electronic gear handle, there is also a large storage compartment under the gear handle, so it is not a problem to put down a handbag. In addition, there is also a USB interface that supports fast charging. The very deep central armrest box can hold a bottle of mineral water vertically. There is also an air-conditioning outlet inside. Drinking cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter is no longer a problem.
The riding space is mainstream at the same level
Boyue PRO's front and rear seats have a very thick visual effect, and the fillings are relatively soft, and the leather wrapping is also relatively delicate. Although the support on both sides of the seat is not good, there is no problem with daily driving comfort. The backrest angle of the second row seats is adjustable, and when placed in the most reclined position, the riding experience is relatively good. When passengers with a height of 1.80 meters are seated in the front and rear at the same time, the knee room of the rear passengers is 2 punches, which is the mainstream level in the same class. The rear row also has air-conditioning outlets, USB power interfaces, etc.
In addition, the panoramic sunroof that extends all the way to the heads of the rear passengers is very large, which also gives the rear passengers impeccable visual openness and headroom.
The trunk is very deep and the space is well organized. There are also very practical hooks on both sides. After folding the rear seats in a 4/6 ratio, a small slope will be formed, which is a bit regrettable.
Power system and chassis
Geely Boyue PRO*** launches two displacements and three powertrains. The power system of the model we tested is a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. +48V mild hybrid system, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Among them, the engine has a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 255 N·m. The comprehensive maximum power of the system is 140kW and the peak torque is 300 N·m. The suspension system is a MacPherson strut front multi-link independent suspension and the four-wheel drive system is a timely four-wheel drive system with a multi-plate clutch.
Taking into account both power and smoothness in daily driving
First of all, we will answer the question about the vibration of the 1.5T three-cylinder engine that netizens are more concerned about. When idling in place, you can indeed feel the vibration of the vehicle from the body and steering wheel. After all, the laws of physics cannot be broken. In addition, when the vehicle accelerates from standstill to various speed ranges, the vibration of the engine is almost unnoticeable. In addition, because Boyue PRO is better at engine sound insulation and external environment sound insulation, daily driving noise performance is better than many four-cylinder engine models.
In terms of absolute acceleration capabilities, I was quite pleasantly surprised by this 1.5TD DCT intelligent four-wheel drive version with a combined maximum torque of 300 Nm. It does not feel that the speed increase is too heavy within the legal speed limit. , exceeding my expectations for the 1.5T engine. Thanks to the addition of a 48V electric motor, the power response in the early stages of the throttle is very fast, making up for the gap period when the engine needs to increase its speed to explode power. Of course, the power provided by the 48V electric motor is limited to this. Daily acceleration is still mainly driven by the engine.
The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox has been tuned to shift slower, but in exchange for a smoother shifting process. I think that for the model positioning of the Boyue PRO, Geely's There is no problem in choosing, after all, daily gentle driving is the correct way to open Boyue PRO. The chassis suspension is slightly tough in the early stages and relatively flexible in the middle and rear sections. Therefore, when dealing with small bumps in daily life, the Boyue PRO does not filter the vibration thoroughly enough, and it will be more calm when handling big bumps. Of course, car owners can also lower the tire pressure to the lower limit of the allowable range, and suspension comfort will be greatly improved.
Summary
Due to space and time constraints, it is a pity that we were not able to actually test the actual performance of the four-wheel drive system of this car, but as for the several elements mentioned at the beginning of the article: color With high value, spacious space, and delicate driving texture, the Boyue PRO performs very well. A few years ago, if a car had all these elements, the price would have been at least 200,000 yuan. The Boyue PRO’s guide price of 98,800-148,800 yuan is indeed more affordable, and there are currently 1 in the country. The cash discount of more than 10,000 yuan is even more valuable. If you are considering purchasing an SUV with comprehensive performance and affordable price in the near future, you may wish to go to a 4S store for an actual test drive. I believe Boyue PRO will impress you.
