Recently, many netizens of Yiche Original have consulted us, and the price of naked cars is about 130,000 large five-seat home SUV. The two most frequently mentioned models are the Auchan X7PLUS and the Geely Boyue X. Today we will take a good look at which of these two models is better.
We selected two models with similar prices: auchan X7PLUS Blue Whale version 1.5T dual-clutch GEEKER pilot model, priced at 133,900, and Geely Boyue X 1.8TD dual-clutch two-wheel drive Zhizun model, priced at 132,800.
1. Design
As an upgraded version of Auchan X7, Auchan X7PLUS has made significant progress in appearance and styling, and the overall look and feel is more advanced, stylish and atmospheric, and very attractive.
The auchan X7PLUS has a length, width and height of 4730/1870/1720mm and a wheelbase of 2786mm, which has a great advantage over the same class. In order to expand the driving space in the car as much as possible, the side shape of the Auchan X7PLUS is relatively square, with a sense of strength and a popular masculine aesthetic.
The FACE ID on the B-pillar on the driver's side is one of the highlight configurations of the Auchan X7PLUS, which is convenient enough to enter without a key, and the FACE ID can help us get rid of the shackles of the key, which is very convenient after getting used to it.
The boxy tail styling makes it even more attractive, a design commonly found in many Land Rover models. For a model such as auchan X7PLUS, which is close to the size of a mid-size SUV, such a design can undoubtedly reflect its body size advantages and the visual impact it brings.
As the latest model of Geely Boyue, Boyue X has been fighting for more than 7 years, but it still maintains enough heat and freshness with continuous revisions. Boyue X looks younger in appearance after incorporating a lot of sports style design, but such a design may not be very popular for friends who have already started a family.
The length, width and height of Boyue X are 4544/1831/1713mm, and the wheelbase is still 2670mm, and the overall size is not an advantage at present. The side of Boyue X basically continues the design style of the current model, and a bright orange kit is added to the lower side skirt, which adds a touch of vitality to the whole.
The tail shape generally continues the current design style, appearing square and full, and the diffuser design at the bottom adds a touch of sportiness, but the hidden exhaust is slightly deducted.
Summary: The shape design of both models is very brilliant, but the more sporty design of Boyue X is destined to be difficult to meet the aesthetic preferences of a wider age group, while the shape of Auchan X7PLUS can be said to cover all age groups. Standing on the theme of today's "big five seats", in the current compact SUV market that starts at 2700mm, the Wheelbase of Boyue X 'only' 2670mm is indeed not enough to see. Looking at the wheelbase of Auchan X7PLUS, the wheelbase of the Auchan X7PLUS is 2786mm, which is undoubtedly more superior as the basic conditions of the "big five-seat" SUV.
2. Interior configuration
The interior layout of Auchan X7PLUS is simple and practical, with a more obvious Bauhaus style, and two large screens bring an excellent sense of technology to the interior. The use of materials also improves the overall texture of the interior, and the combined screen design can also shorten the time that the driver's eyes stay between the road surface and the screen.
The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster is also equipped with a face recognition camera, which not only supports brush face ignition, but also can perform fatigue monitoring. The dashboard's display is delicate and it is possible to switch between multiple pages, making it very convenient to view information.
The size of the central control screen is 12.3 inches, and the display effect is delicate. Equipped with a full-scene OnStyle3.0 Plus version of the intelligent control car machine system, the use of MediaTek 8-core chip, the operation and processing speed is also further. In addition to the conventional multimedia, telephone, navigation, voice assistant, it also has CCTV audio and video, "clairvoyance", "downwind ear" and other functions.
And the traffic generated by AutoNavi navigation, voice assistants and OTA upgrades is permanently free, so you don't have to worry about the cost of using voice assistants.
Auchan X7PLUS did not cancel the physical buttons like many current models, but retained the physical buttons in the air conditioning control area, which is more convenient for blind operation when driving.
The interior of Boyue X continues the interior layout of Boyue Pro, but the new blue and white color scheme is completely fresh. However, the yellowing of the white interior after a long time of practical use is still a major problem that plagues many consumers in choosing it.
Boyue X is equipped with a full LCD dashboard, the display effect is very delicate, and the interface UI will change accordingly according to the different driving modes.
Air conditioning temperature, air volume adjustment, air outlet mode and other buttons are arranged in the form of physical buttons under the central control screen, which is convenient for the driver to operate blindly during the driving.
Summary: Both models are very good in terms of configuration, but the large-size dual screen of Auchan X7PLUS is much better than the Boyue X in terms of visual effect and practicality.
3. Driving space
Auchan X7PLUS
The experiencer is 183cm tall, and after adjusting the driver's seat to the lowest level and adjusting the backrest, there is a palm of space in the head, which is excellent.
The front seat remains the same, the same experiencers move to the rear row, there is a punch left in the head, and more than two punches in the leg, and the space is very generous.
Auchan X7PLUS's rear seat backrest can be adjusted from multiple angles, whether you want to sit in a precarious position or want to "lie down", it can give you the best support.
According to the official data, the standard volume of the auchan X7PLUS luggage compartment is 650L, which is a very top-notch level in the same class. The rear seats support a 4/6 ratio recline, which can be extended to 1407L when reclined.
GilliBoyue X
The experiencer is 175cm tall, and after adjusting the driver's seat to the lowest and adjusting the backrest, the head has more than one punch left, which is a good performance.
The front seat remains the same, the same person moves to the back row, with one punch left in the head and more than two punches in the leg.
The official did not announce the luggage compartment volume of Boyue X, but the body size of the new model has not increased significantly compared with the old model, according to the data we have measured on the old model in the past, the conventional volume of the luggage compartment is about 480L, which is weaker than the Auchan X7PLUS.
Summary: Both models are enough for the average family in terms of driving space, but if you want a more spacious and comfortable driving environment, Auchan X7PLUS is definitely a better choice.
4. Powertrain
Auchan X7PLUS is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation NE 1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 138 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m.
The gearbox is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with electronic gears. Based on our previous test drive experience, the powertrain was responsive and the suspension tuning was more comfortable.
The Boyue X continues to be powered by a 1.8T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m.
The gearbox adopts a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, according to official information, the factory has optimized this powertrain, and the fuel consumption performance will be better.
Summary: In terms of power, the 1.5T engine equipped with Auchan X7PLUS is more powerful, and the maximum torque comes earlier, which is 1500rpm, and the acceleration and fuel consumption performance when driving in the urban area are naturally better than the 1.8T engine used for many years on the Boyue X.
Summary: From the comparison of today's items, Auchan X7PLUS is more suitable for the title of "big five-seater" SUV than Boyue X. It is true that the Boyue X, as the latest model of the Boyue family, may also be the last model before the replacement of this generation of Boyue, but the long sales time also makes it difficult to meet the needs of current consumers in all aspects. The latecomer advantage of Auchan X7PLUS is very significant, close to the size of the medium-sized SUV, rich configuration and comfortable driving space, which can be described as "really home large five-seat SUV"!
