What is the curb weight of the Geely Boyue?
3 Answers
The curb weight of the Geely Boyue varies depending on the configuration: the weight of the four-wheel-drive model is 1745 kilograms; the weight of the 2.0L manual transmission model is 1565 kilograms. Taking the Boyue 2021 manual two-wheel-drive standard model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, wheelbase 2670mm, and fuel tank capacity is 58 liters. The Boyue 2021 manual two-wheel-drive standard model is equipped with a 1.8T 163-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 163, a maximum power of 120 kilowatts, and a maximum power speed of 5500 revolutions per minute.
I recall that the Geely Boyue's curb weight generally ranges from 1500 to 1700 kg, depending on the model. For example, the 1.8T version weighs around 1630 kg. During my daily commute, I noticed that this weight leads to relatively high fuel consumption in city driving, often around 9 to 10 liters per 100 km. However, it feels much more stable on highways, especially in windy conditions where the car doesn’t sway. The weight also affects braking distance, so it’s important to slow down earlier in rainy conditions or during sudden braking—safety features like airbags are a big help. Over time, pay attention to tire and suspension wear, as regular maintenance can extend their lifespan. I recommend new drivers test-drive the car to experience the comfort and balance the weight provides, rather than relying solely on spec sheets.
The Geely Boyue weighs approximately 1550 to 1675 kg, with the 1.5T model being lighter and the 1.8T heavier. Based on my experience with car modifications, heavier weight leads to slower acceleration and weaker back-pushing sensation. In stock condition, it's more suitable for stable driving rather than racing, with a focus on comfort. There's noticeable body roll during turns, and the ride feels bumpy on mountain roads. After weight reduction modifications, fuel efficiency improves but the cost is high. My suggestion is to enjoy it for daily comfortable driving, while racing enthusiasts might prefer lighter cars for more thrill. The weight also demands more from the suspension system, so don't overlook shock absorber inspections during maintenance.
