Geely New Boyue L Officially Launching on September 24: LiDAR + City NOA Bring Advanced Smart Driving to the Compact SUV Segment
New Exterior Design Inspired by Chinese Landscapes
The new Boyue L continues Geely's "Mountain and River Charm" design philosophy, incorporating elements inspired by traditional Chinese landscapes.
At the front, the most distinctive feature is the new "Liuguang Xinghe" full-width front light strip, which stretches approximately 2.4 meters across the front of the vehicle.
The light strip uses 132 high-brightness LED elements, while the larger air intakes give the SUV a more dynamic and sporty appearance.
The side profile adopts a fastback-inspired design, with dimensions of:
- Length: 4,730 mm
- Width: 1,910 mm
- Height: 1,710 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,785 mm
The two-tone body, black floating roof, rising shoulder line and narrowing rear window create a more dynamic visual effect.
Unlike many new vehicles that have adopted hidden door handles, the new Boyue L retains conventional door handles.
The gasoline version is expected to introduce two new exterior colors: Danxia Red and Snow Mountain Gold, while the hybrid version may also offer a wine-red exterior.
Qianli Haohan H5 + LiDAR: A Major Smart Driving Upgrade
One of the biggest upgrades is the intelligent driving system.
The new Boyue L is equipped with Geely's Qianli Haohan H5 intelligent driving solution, with a total of 27 sensors, including:
- 1 LiDAR
- 3 millimeter-wave radars
- 12 ultrasonic radars
- 11 high-definition cameras
The system is based on an end-to-end large-model architecture and supports functions such as:
City NOA, Highway NOA and cross-floor memory parking.
Compared with the current Boyue L equipped with the Qianli Haohan H3 system, the new model moves up to the H5 platform and adds LiDAR, representing a significant upgrade in intelligent driving hardware.
If the currently reported specifications remain unchanged after launch, intelligent driving will become one of the key selling points of the new Boyue L.
15.4-inch 2.5K Display + Flyme Auto 2.5
The smart cockpit has also received a major upgrade.
The new Boyue L comes with a 15.4-inch 2.5K central display and the Flyme Auto 2.5 smart cockpit system.
Higher-spec versions are expected to feature a huge 25.6-inch AR-HUD, which can project navigation and driving information directly into the driver's field of view.
The vehicle uses the domestically developed 7nm Longying No. 1 chip, with 16GB RAM + 128GB storage. Its AI computing capability is reported to be approximately twice that of the Snapdragon 8155.
Other comfort and technology features include:
- 16-speaker Flyme Sound audio system
- Front-seat heating
- Front-seat ventilation
- Front-seat massage
- Leg rests
- Wireless charging
- Heated rear seats
- Privacy glass
These features give the new Boyue L a smart-cockpit configuration that is increasingly comparable with vehicles in higher price segments.
New 1.5TD Pro Engine for the Gasoline Version
The gasoline version will be equipped with a new 1.5TD Pro high-power engine.
The engine produces a maximum power output of approximately:
148 kW
Its reported WLTC combined fuel consumption is approximately:
6.69 L/100 km
Compared with the current 1.5T engine, which produces 133 kW, the new engine offers higher power while also targeting improved fuel efficiency.
For customers who still prefer conventional gasoline vehicles, this powertrain retains the advantages of quick refueling and convenient long-distance driving.
New i-HEV Hybrid Version
The i-HEV hybrid version is another major highlight of the new model.
It uses a 1.5T hybrid-specific engine + P1 + P3 dual-motor architecture.
The engine produces a maximum power of approximately:
120 kW
The drive motor can deliver up to:
230 kW
According to currently available information, the vehicle can operate in pure electric mode under certain driving conditions, potentially reducing fuel consumption during urban commuting.
The overall driving range is expected to exceed 1,200 km, giving the hybrid version an advantage for customers who regularly travel long distances but do not want to rely entirely on charging infrastructure.
Expected Pricing Around the RMB 100,000–150,000 Range
The final pricing has not yet been officially announced.
Based on current market information, the gasoline version is expected to start at under RMB 100,000, while the i-HEV hybrid version may start at around RMB 120,000. Higher-spec versions could approach RMB 150,000.
These figures are currently expectations, and the official prices will be announced on September 24.
If the final pricing remains close to these expectations, the new Boyue L will combine several features that were previously more common in higher-priced vehicles:
LiDAR + Qianli Haohan H5 + City NOA + Flyme Auto 2.5 + upgraded gasoline/hybrid powertrains.
This represents another step in the rapid development of intelligent technology in China's compact SUV market.
