In the blink of an eye, it is another year of spring travel green season, in order to ensure the happiness of the spring tour journey, choose a compact SUV with good passability and large enough space, in addition to the common Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS on the road, there are also many young families who choose Geely Boyue's new model - Boyue X, the overall design of the appearance is closer to rejuvenation, the interior details are more exquisite, and many personalized sports kits for young consumer groups have been added. The guidance price is 11.28-142,800 yuan, which should have been a time to compete with haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, but why is the sales of the car still flat?
In terms of appearance, in order to cater to the young consumer market, Geely Boyue X has performed a meticulous "plastic surgery" on Geely Boyue Pro. The front face adopts a design language called "Energy Storm", and the diffusion mesh grille shape makes the suspension of the Gilly LOGO above more prominent, and with the silver "X" decorative strip of the front face, the visual impact effect of the front face is sharpened. Secondly, the side of the body is also integrated with more sports decoration details, especially the orange decoration of the side skirt and the brake caliper can echo the dynamic front of the car. In the rear part of the car, the overall shape is still full and calm, and the exquisite strip tail lights enhance the recognition of the tail, with the silver lower guard plate decoration, highlighting the youthful atmosphere of the whole car.
In terms of interior, "exquisite" can be used to describe the overall interior design of Geely Boyue X. Although the interior layout of the new car is the same as that of the Boyue Pro, the workmanship materials are at the superior level in the same class, and the two-color interior such as blue, white/red and black has been added, adding a lot of youth and vitality.

In terms of space, thanks to the wheelbase size of 2670mm, the performance of the ride space of Geely Boyue X is not too bad, the rear head space and leg space performance are decent, and the comfort of the ride space maintains a certain gap between Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, but the backrest angle of the rear seat supports adjustment, which allows rear passengers to easily find a comfortable riding posture. In addition, the trunk space of the car is flat, and although the rear seats support a 4/6 ratio of reclining, the loading convenience is more general.
In terms of power, Geely Boyue X is equipped with a 1.8T engine, the maximum power is 184 horsepower, and the peak torque is 300 Nm, which is superior to the same level, and the transmission system is matched by the 7DCT gearbox. The measured zero-hundred-speed acceleration time of the car is 9.5 seconds, and the acceleration performance is good, and it has a certain power advantage in the same class. However, the fuel economy of the car is average, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is 7.7L/100km, measured 100 km comprehensive road condition average fuel consumption of 11.19L/100km, compared with the same level of competitor models, fuel economy is its biggest shortcoming.
epilogue
In fact, the emergence of Geely Boyue X has given the market a lot of surprises, but there are also many disappointments. Careful observation is not difficult to find that Geely Boyue X this car and Geely Boyue Pro in the appearance of the design, material configuration and other aspects of the same, aside from the details of the design, there is not much product difference between the two, in essence, Boyue X is the young "successor" of Boyue Pro. On the other hand, Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS have a large leading edge in terms of riding space, while the appearance design has its own characteristics, the material configuration is not bad, in the same price environment, the cost performance is more outstanding than boyue X. In addition, Geely's Xingyue L, as a "high-quality" player in the same level of products, more or less snatched away some of the intended consumer groups that belonged to Boyue X, and there is a more cost-effective Geely Haoyue as a comparison, not so much that the product strength of Boyue X is "left behind" by competitors, but rather that its product strength "stands still".
