Does the Boyue come with automatic parking?

Boyue does not come with automatic parking function. Automatic parking refers to the car parking itself without manual control, helping the owner to park automatically. The Geely Boyue does not have an automatic parking function, but it does have an auto-hold function. The auto-hold feature of the Boyue is very user-friendly. Once activated, when waiting at a red light, the owner does not need to pull the handbrake, step on the brake, or switch gears—just stopping the car is sufficient. The Geely Boyue is an SUV under the Geely Auto Group, equipped with numerous intelligent configurations such as a voice interaction system, city pre-collision system, intelligent high beam, and PM air management system.
My Geely Boyue top trim model indeed comes with the automatic parking function. The salesperson specifically demonstrated it during the test drive at the 4S store last year. This feature is particularly friendly for beginners—just press the automatic parking button on the center console, and the car can find a parking space by itself. My wife used it frequently when she first got her driver's license, and now she's quite skilled at both reverse and parallel parking. However, it's worth noting that not all Boyue models come standard with this feature; it depends on the specific configuration. For example, the 2023 model's Zhizun and Qijian trims have it, but the lower-end Zhiya trim does not. Additionally, the automatic parking function has requirements for parking space recognition—it may fail to identify spaces if the lines are unclear or the space is too small. Rainy weather can also affect its performance if the radar is obstructed. It's quite hassle-free to use in daily situations, but it's still safer to keep an eye on it during critical moments.
The high-end version of the Boyue indeed comes with automatic parking, which I've personally experienced. Last week at the mall parking lot, I encountered an extremely narrow mechanical parking space. I simply activated the automatic parking feature, saving at least three minutes compared to usual. The operation is straightforward: press the brake, shift to neutral, press the parking button on the left side of the steering wheel, and release the brake once the system scans and identifies the parking space. However, it's important to note that the ground slope should not be too steep, as it might cause the vehicle to roll. Additionally, while this feature is practical for beginners, experienced drivers might find it unnecessary. My neighbor, who bought the base model, often complains about the lack of this feature, spending a lot of time on parallel parking. Nowadays, when buying a car, it's essential to carefully review the specifications. Features like automatic parking might only add a few thousand yuan to the price, but the difference in user experience is significant.
