For the Geely brand, there are not many models that I have test-driven due to the division of labor. In my relatively early impression, Geely has always been a brand that takes the cost-effective route, and most models also pursue high configuration. It wasn't until I test-drove my friend's Hoshikoshi L a few months ago that I really found that Geely's products have really improved in terms of quality. Therefore, this time I borrowed the Boyue X test drive, and my expectations for it are also very high. So as a compact SUV of more than 100,000, how many surprises can it bring us? We'll reveal it to you right away.
The test drive we got this time was a dark black color matching model, and the body coating adopted a color combination of black as the main body and orange as the embellishment. From this, it can be seen that the car is targeting a young customer base. The headlights section does not use an exaggerated design, but in addition to the lowest model, the entire series is equipped with LED light source headlights.
The middle net part also adopts a blackened design, making the entire front of the car look more sporty. The details can be said to be very well grasped, and the car logo has been blackened together. The headlights extend under the front bar and are designed with a fang-like shape, which adds some vitality to the pure black front.
In the side part, Boyue X did not adopt any too fancy design. The lower part of the doors is embellished with orange elements, which is also a very unique point of this color scheme. But I personally feel that the strange thing is that the window frame is not blackened, perhaps to highlight the design of the floating roof. The wheel hub adopts a black design, and the size of 19 inches with the five-frame shape shows a full sense of power. The original brake calipers used orange paint, which should be said to have played a finishing touch.
The shape of the rear part of the car as a whole is more traditional, but it is worth mentioning that the designer designed a very sporty tail wing for Boyue X, although the addition of the tail wing may not have any actual aerodynamic effect on this car, but the improvement of the appearance is still immediate. And I think if the letter logo at the rear of the car can be blackened, then the overall feeling of the tail will be even better. The two sides of the rear bar have a similar opening design to echo the front face, but it is not obvious under the black paint. The misty silver color scheme used on the back lip is also suitable for the color matching of the front of the car. But I'm curious about why a model that emphasizes a sporty look is equipped with a hidden exhaust.
Coming to the car, the top model of this test drive is a red/black interior color, and the overall atmosphere is also quite luxurious. The design of the central control area is not complicated, but the slightly undulating lines are used to create some layering. Unlike the low-end model, this top-equipped model uses the detailed design of the seam style in the center console and the door panel, although such design elements will bring higher costs, but it can indeed add a lot of points to the interior texture.
The instrument part is the popular LCD screen, and the display interface can be said to be very concise and clear. The central control multimedia system is equipped with a 12.3-inch screen, and an actual experience is that its smoothness and display effect are not inferior to the car that is much more expensive than it. The sound system comes from Bose, and the reputation of this audio brand in the industry does not need me to repeat it here. The adjustment of the air conditioning area, as well as other functional adjustments of the vehicle, have retained the physical buttons as much as possible, and this arrangement is also very much liked by me as an "old driver", which is much more convenient than those settings that must be adjusted in the screen for half a day.
The seat part, the top model is equipped with seat ventilation/heating function, for a model of less than 150,000 yuan, such a configuration can be described as quite outstanding. In addition, the driver's seat also has two sets of seat memory settings, which is also convenient for multiple people to use at home. In addition, as can be seen on the side of the passenger seat, this car is also very thoughtfully designed with an adjustment button, so that the rear passengers can also easily adjust the front seat.
Entering the rear row, the first thing you can see is that the floor is very flat, which is very friendly to passengers sitting in the middle of the rear row. This kind of filling of the seat is also quite textured, and does not have the cheap feeling of the seat of the domestic model at this price point before. And this set of seats also supports angle adjustment and reclining, which are visible costs to the naked eye. In addition, the rear row is also equipped with air conditioning air outlets, and the lower USB and Type-C ports can also cope with different charging needs. There is no need to say much seating space performance, and The Boyue X is the best in the same class regardless of the driving space experience in the front and rear rows. As for the storage space, the rear door panels and the lower part of the air conditioning outlet are equipped with storage space for the family. If that's not enough, the net pocket behind the front seat can also hold some items.
In the core mechanical part, the Boyue X is equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that can output 135 kilowatts and 300 Nm of torque, which is the mainstream level of book data. In terms of transmission system, it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the official claim is that this car can complete the acceleration of 0-100km/h in 7.7 seconds - it should be known that the sixth-generation Golf GTI is only in the early 7 seconds, and the Boyue X is an SUV model. In the actual experience, the power performance of this car is indeed very good, there is no frustration, and the torque can be said to be on call. For daily mobility, this kind of power performance is completely sufficient. In terms of suspension, it may be thanks to some of the techniques "learned" from Volvo, the chassis performance of the whole car is very European, and the solid chassis allows the driver to have sufficient driving confidence at all times.
summary:
After the test drive, I was impressed by the excellent overall performance of the Boyue X car. Whether it is the brilliance of the shape design or the richness of the trend configuration, it can be said that it has done everything. And its own mechanical quality is also very strong, the most important thing is that the top model is less than 150,000 selling price, if you add some late offers, this car is really attractive enough - at least in my cognition, at this level and price, Boyue X this car is at least one of the "most preferred".
