Geely Boyue ýene-de täzelener!

Recently, Xiaoba learned from official channels that the 2027 Boyue will be officially launched on October 23.

This time the new car is not simply a matter of changing the appearance and being done; rather, from the electronic and electrical architecture, cockpit configuration to exterior design, a round of upgrades is being prepared.

To be honest, the name Boyue should be no stranger to everyone.

This series happens to mark its tenth anniversary of being launched this year. As of the end of September, it has been sold in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative sales exceeding 2.45 million units.

Honestly speaking, being able to keep a vehicle series going for ten years and still accumulate such large sales at least shows that it has indeed captured the needs of many family users.

However, if an old series is to continue selling, relying only on past reputation is certainly not enough.

Consumers buying cars now look not only at price, but also at whether the infotainment system is easy to use and whether the configuration is solid enough, so what exactly has been changed in the 2027 Boyue this time is still worth discussing.

Looking at the exterior first, the new car this time uses the new Chinese-style "Four Waters Return to the Hall" grille, as well as the "flying eaves and bracket sets" through-type light cluster.

Although the name is a bit tongue-twisting, the artistic sense is indeed strong. When applied to the car, the main goal is still to make the front face more refined while increasing recognizability.

In Xiaoba's view, when independent brands do design now, they are no longer just pursuing a look of grandeur, but also hoping to form their own style.

As for how this design looks on the actual car and whether the combination of the light cluster and grille is harmonious, it still needs to be judged after the real car debut; just looking at the name does not count.

In terms of body dimensions, the new car's length, width and height are 4570/1865/1635mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2707mm. Compared with the current model, the body length has increased by 21mm, while the height has decreased by 15mm.

There is a detail here: an increase in body length does not necessarily mean there will definitely be an obvious change in interior space.

The wheelbase is still 2707mm, unchanged compared with the current model, so how much improvement this size adjustment can bring to passenger space is still difficult to conclude directly at present.

If the car is mainly used for urban commuting and occasionally taking the family out, then of course the more suitable the body size, the better, but what truly affects the experience also includes seat design, interior layout and storage space.

The dimension table can be noted down first; whether it is comfortable when actually sitting inside still has to wait for a real-car experience.

At the rear, the new car has switched to the "Long Scroll Flowing Rosy Clouds" through-type taillight, continuing to strengthen the design style of front-rear echo.

In addition, it also provides a 585L+75L double-layer trunk.

This trunk design is indeed worth paying attention to.

For families who often take children out, shop on weekends, or need to load luggage during festivals and holidays, whether the trunk is easy to use is sometimes more practical than a few extra decorative lines on the exterior.

However, how the double-layer storage is specifically divided and whether it is convenient to put in and take out items still requires actual experience to know.

Looking at the interior again, the 2027 Boyue adopts a wrap-around cockpit design, is equipped with a 14.6-inch central control screen, carries the Flyme Auto 2.5 system, and supports the Xingrui AI large model.

Nowadays the infotainment system has become a part that many consumers focus on when looking at cars.

Whether the screen is large is one thing; whether the system responds quickly, whether navigation is easy to use, and whether voice interaction is handy are another matter.

The new car also provides the newly customized Amap 850 map. For people who commute to and from work every day, navigation is a high-frequency function. Details such as route planning and information display, and whether they are handy in actual use, are often more important than how many intelligent concepts are talked about in promotion.

Of course, the specific functions and usage experience still need to be further confirmed after launch.

In terms of comfort configuration, the new car will provide front seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, as well as steering wheel heating and 50W wireless fast charging.

Brothers and sisters, when these configurations are put together, the scenarios they cover are actually quite clear.

Seat ventilation and heating take care of riding needs in different seasons, steering wheel heating is also more oriented toward the experience in cold weather, and wireless fast charging is a function that may be used as soon as one gets in the car in daily life.

However, rich configuration is one thing, and whether the functions are actually easy to use is another.

For example, how effective seat ventilation is and how many modes the massage function has, the official side has not released more detailed information at present, so we will not draw conclusions on behalf of the manufacturer in advance.

In terms of safety and intelligent driving, the new car will also be equipped with an L2-level driving assistance system.

It should be noted that L2-level assisted driving does not mean the vehicle can drive fully autonomously; the driver still needs to continuously pay attention to road conditions and bear driving responsibility.

As for which specific assistance functions are included and what the working conditions of different functions are, the final information officially announced shall prevail.

Turning to power, the 2027 Boyue is equipped with a 1.5TD engine.

Referring to the parameters of the current model, the maximum power is 181 horsepower, the peak torque is 290 N·m, and it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

Here we also need to be careful: the above power data come from the parameter reference of the current model and do not equal the final confirmed data of the new model.

The specific power parameters of the new car and whether the tuning has changed still need to wait for further official announcement.

Finally, let's talk about price. The price range of the current Boyue is 85,900 to 106,900 yuan. After the new model is launched, what the final pricing will be still has no final answer at present.

Personally, what the 2027 Boyue really needs attention on is not just how many configurations have been added, but whether these upgrades can match the price.

After all, for family SUVs at this price point, consumers both hope for rich configurations and will also seriously compare space, power, fuel consumption and daily use costs.

On October 23, the new car will be launched.

As for whether it can continue to hold its position in the market, the key still depends on the final price and how much practical value these upgrades actually deliver on the real car.

Let's not rush to praise it, nor rush to talk it down. Wait until the price comes out, and then see how Geely plans to play this time, shall we?
