Does the 2021 Boyue not have a cigarette lighter?

2021 Boyue does not come with a cigarette lighter and requires self-installation. Method for installing a cigarette lighter: First, locate the cigarette lighter interface inside the car. Some cigarette lighter sockets have USB outputs, some directly split into multiple cigarette lighter ports, and some resemble household power sockets. Therefore, when selecting a cigarette lighter socket product, pay close attention to the interface. Connect a wire from the car's AC line, then connect a fuse, followed by the positive terminal of the cigarette lighter, and finally ground the negative terminal to the car body. Function of the cigarette lighter: A cigarette lighter socket is an electronic device similar to a multi-outlet household power strip. It connects to the car's power source via a plug and provides multiple cigarette lighter ports. It can be used for car universal chargers, car inverters, car heating cups, car vacuum cleaners, car coffee makers, car air pumps, and cigarette lighter decorative accessories.

Last time I drove my friend's 2021 Boyue, I noticed it indeed had a power socket in the car, but unlike older cars, it didn't come with a built-in cigarette lighter head. If you want to smoke or need power, you have to buy a small adapter to plug in. This socket is super practical—I often use it to charge my phone or navigation devices, saving the hassle of carrying a power bank. Many new cars are designed this way now, probably to promote healthier habits, like smoking less in the car or directly supporting digital devices. When buying an adapter, make sure the power rating matches to avoid damaging the wiring—it only costs a few dozen yuan. Regularly check if the socket is loose or dirty; keeping it clean can extend its lifespan and ensure stable, safe power while driving.

As someone who frequently researches vehicle configurations, I'm quite familiar with the 2021 Boyue: It comes with a 12V power outlet near the center armrest, but the factory doesn't include a cigarette lighter component, so you might not see that small red tip when unboxing. You'll need to purchase a cigarette lighter adapter separately to use it. This design is part of a trend where many automakers are phasing out traditional cigarette lighters in favor of supporting USB or smart device charging. I think it's quite reasonable, as it saves space and reduces burn risks. When using this outlet, check if the voltage is normal and avoid overloading it; keeping a converter in the car is handy for long trips or powering other small appliances.

My friend owns a 2021 Boyue. When we went camping together, we noticed there's a power socket next to the car seat but no actual cigarette lighter. To use it, you'd need to buy a small adapter separately. Nowadays, younger car owners tend to prefer phone charging or healthier lifestyles, making this configuration more popular as it avoids lingering smoke odors or fire hazards. Just prepare your own adapter—choose a durable brand, and it's affordable while offering multi-functional power supply, which is quite hassle-free.

I've been driving for many years. Newer models like the 2021 Boyue indeed no longer come with a standard cigarette lighter socket, but they still retain the power outlet; you can simply plug in an adapter to restore the functionality. Compared to the full cigarette lighter systems in older models, modern designs are more streamlined and practical, prioritizing the integration of USB ports to minimize distractions. Remember to regularly clean the outlet to ensure a good connection and prevent short circuits. If you don't smoke, this change won't affect your daily use and actually keeps the car tidier.
