Does the Boyue have 4WD?

[Dante]

The Boyue does have 4WD models. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. The Boyue 4WD model adopts a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout with an on-demand 4WD system. It utilizes the most common on-demand 4WD system in its class, featuring a multi-plate clutch-type central differential. The locking function of the 4WD system is achieved through this multi-plate clutch. 2. With the addition of the 4WD system, the vehicle's power is significantly enhanced, but fuel consumption increases, leading to reduced fuel economy. 3. The structure of the 4WD system is relatively complex, resulting in higher production costs. The 4WD systems used in vehicles are divided into three types: full-time 4WD, part-time 4WD, and on-demand 4WD. Full-time 4WD and on-demand 4WD are primarily front-wheel-drive-based systems. 4. Full-time 4WD and on-demand 4WD offer superior off-road performance and handling, meeting the demands of daily off-road driving. The on-demand 4WD system equipped in the Boyue performs exceptionally well among its peers.

I've driven several Boyue models and can clearly tell you that all currently available gasoline-powered Boyue variants feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. While its SUV styling looks quite rugged, its positioning remains primarily as an urban vehicle. With 19cm of ground clearance, it offers significantly better passability than sedans - perfectly adequate for daily commutes during rain/snow or rural dirt roads. The electronic assistance systems are quite comprehensive, including hill descent control and traction control. For serious off-roading, I'd recommend looking at proper 4WD off-road vehicles. But for urban family use, the 2WD version is more than sufficient while being more fuel-efficient and cost-effective in maintenance.

The Boyue indeed never had a 4WD version. I've studied its chassis structure, and the engine compartment doesn't even have space reserved for a driveshaft. However, last year when helping a friend choose a car in Northeast China, I paid special attention to this matter. I found that the Boyue's electronic stability system is well-tuned - with winter tires and TCS traction control, it performed much more steadily on icy roads than I expected. Also, be mindful of the model year. Early Boyue and Borui models had a 1.8TD 4WD test vehicle, but it never entered mass production. All currently available models are 2WD. If you want 4WD, you might consider the Xingyue L or Lynk & Co 01.

Having checked the official configuration sheet, I can tell you that the Boyue doesn't offer a four-wheel-drive option across its entire lineup. However, as a domestic SUV in the 100,000-yuan price range, its approach and departure angles are quite reasonably designed, with a 183mm minimum ground clearance that makes climbing curbs effortless. Just last week, I accompanied a relative to pick up a Zhizun model and found its hill-start assist with auto hold particularly practical—it completely prevents rollback when starting on underground garage ramps. If you're concerned about slippery roads, I'd recommend investing in better tires instead of chasing four-wheel drive—it's much more hassle-free.
