2017 New
Geely Boyue
This is the
all new Geely Boyue SUV, also known as the Emgrand Boyue, and formerly known as
the Emgrand NL-3. The naming might be messy in true Geely style, but the car
itself shows a clean design that some might even call pretty.
It has a nice
stance, a trendy black D-pillar for the floating roof idea, a kinky kink in the
bodywork just behind the C, and sleek taillights that almost hit the fuel cap
here. Lesser points are the black strip-with-chrome on the doors and the tiny
wheels.
The interior
looks great and is easily Geely’s best so far, and probably one of the best
ever from a local Chinese brand. Design is cohesive, it all seems to fit
together very well, the materials are very good and matching, and there is a
lot of high tech on board.
There is the
one and only engine that will be available in the Boyue at launch: a 1.8 liter
Direct Injection turbo petrol with 184 Hp and 285 Nm, mated to a six-speed
automatic or a five-speed manual, sending power to all four wheels. The
five-speed manual is a surprise, a six-speed was widely expected. Later on a 160 Hp version of the 1.8 turbo
and a 140 Hp 2.0 will join the line-up. These models will be front-wheel drive.
And further in the future there will be a hybrid, based around the 1.8 turbo.
The Boyue
with the 184 Hp 1.8 turbo will hit the Chinese car market soon. Price will start around
120.000 yuan and end around 160.000 yuan.
