Ground Clearance of the Boyue?
3 Answers
The ground clearance of the Geely Boyue is 170mm. Below is some extended information about the Geely Boyue: 1. The Geely Boyue is a premium connected SUV meticulously crafted over three and a half years by an international design team led by the renowned automotive designer Peter Horbury. It features 'intelligent braking, breathability, and voice control,' making it a 'three-good' SUV—good-looking, good to drive, and good in intelligence. 2. A Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) must meet the 'two highs and one more' requirements: high sportiness and high off-road capability, as well as multifunctionality. 3. The off-road capability of an SUV refers to the vehicle having a larger minimum ground clearance, approach angle, departure angle, and ramp breakover angle.
As a daily driver, the Geely Boyue's ground clearance of around 170mm is quite practical. It handles speed bumps and small potholes in the city without scraping the undercarriage. The higher ride also provides better visibility for clearer road observation. On weekend outings, it can manage mild off-road conditions with decent off-road capability. Ground clearance directly impacts driving safety—higher clearance protects the vehicle from road debris but requires caution against excessive body roll during sharp turns. Overall, the Boyue strikes a balance between daily usability and occasional adventure, with tire size offering slight height adjustments. It's advisable to maintain the factory settings.
From an automotive enthusiast's perspective, the Geely Boyue's ground clearance of about 175mm is well-suited for an SUV, offering excellent off-road capability. Its suspension system—MacPherson strut in front and multi-link in the rear—ensures stability on bumpy roads. Compared to the Haval H6, which has a similar height, each has its pros and cons: higher ground clearance is better for off-roading but may slightly increase fuel consumption at high speeds. The chassis height significantly impacts overall vehicle performance—too low risks underbody damage on rough terrain, while too high compromises handling. Upgrading tires can provide a slight lift, but modifications should be done carefully. Having driven it on mountain roads, I find the Boyue's factory settings reliably balanced.
