The MIIT-certified combined fuel consumption for the 2020 Boyue is 7.5L. Below is an introduction to the Boyue: 1. Exterior: The rear design of the Boyue PRO is very clean, featuring a chrome trim strip with lettering in the middle and a dual exhaust layout at the bottom. The dimensions of the new car are 4519x1831x1694 mm, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The exterior blends Chinese cultural elements with international fashion trends. 2. Interior: The driving mode controls in the central console use physical buttons, which are very intuitive and easy to use. The interior is luxurious, with a two-tone design that provides a good sense of layering, and uses a large amount of soft materials. 3. Space: The storage compartments are well-designed, offering ample storage space to meet various usage scenarios. 4. Safety: The Boyue PRO's anti-collision beam uses the highest-strength hot-forming process, with steel provided by Baosteel, a leading domestic steel supplier, and a thickness of 2 mm. In terms of active and passive safety, the Boyue PRO meets automotive industry standards.

I've been driving the Boyue 2020 1.8T automatic transmission for two years now. Honestly, this car's fuel consumption heavily depends on road conditions. During daily urban commuting with stop-and-go traffic and traffic lights, the dashboard often shows between 9.5 to 10.5 liters per 100km. It's more fuel-efficient on highways - maintaining a cruise speed around 100 km/h can bring it down to just over 7 liters. Once on a long-distance highway trip, a full tank showed a range of over 700 km. However, with AC on during summer or in heavy traffic jams, the instantaneous fuel consumption can jump to 13 liters. The car has ample power but its fuel efficiency isn't exactly low. I recommend using mobile apps to track several tanks of fuel for actual measured values, which are much more accurate than the dashboard display.

My neighbor Lao Wang drives this exact model, and he always complains to me about the high fuel costs. After asking in detail, his top-trim 4WD version consumes around 11L/100km in normal city driving, dropping to 8.5L/100km on pure highway runs. He said the key is to avoid stomping on the accelerator - this car's transmission responds slightly slower, and aggressive acceleration really guzzles fuel. There's a female owner in our neighborhood who drives the 2WD version more economically. She maintains it diligently, keeps tire pressure at 2.5 bar year-round, and achieves 8.3L/100km on her 20km suburban commutes. Last time I checked her trip computer data, fuel consumption was most ideal at an average speed of 35km/h. It seems driving habits can make over 1L/100km difference even for the same model.

The 2020 Boyue's 1.8T engine specs look decent on paper, but 184 horsepower does struggle a bit with this vehicle's weight, resulting in higher fuel consumption. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is 7.5L/100km, but real-world tests consistently show over 9L. During , I chatted with 4S technicians who said most owner complaints focus on high urban fuel consumption. A key point many overlook: you must use 5W-30 full synthetic oil - wrong viscosity immediately increases consumption. Throttle body carbon buildup significantly affects the Boyue, recommended cleaning every 20,000 km. With current fuel prices so high, drivers need to cultivate anticipatory driving habits.

Last year, I rented this car for a trip to Western Sichuan and specifically recorded the fuel consumption. Fully loaded with five passengers and luggage on National Highway 318, the instantaneous gauge reading reached 14L on uphill sections above 3,000 meters altitude, but it recharged to 5L on downhill slopes. The mixed-condition average gauge reading was 8.7L, while actual refueling calculations showed 9.2L/100km (using 92-octane gasoline). The accompanying RAV4 averaged just over 8L. Personally, I think the Boyue's fuel consumption is reasonable for a domestic vehicle, considering its weight of nearly 1.7 tons. I recommend keeping the auto start-stop function on to save fuel during long red lights. Additionally, removing the roof rack could potentially reduce consumption by about 0.3L.

Comparing the data between the 2020 and 2023 Boyue models, the older 1.8T version is indeed more fuel-consuming. My buddy bought the 2019 Zhilian version, and the long-term fuel consumption displayed by the onboard computer is 10.3L, with him mostly driving on expressways. Pay special attention to tire pressure—the recommended cold tire pressure for this car is 2.3 bar. When the tire pressure was insufficient, he recorded a terrifying 12.5L consumption. It's best to choose Sinopec or PetroChina for refueling. Once he used fuel from a private gas station, and under the same driving conditions, it consumed over 1L more. The new models now come with a 1.5T + 48V mild hybrid system, saving about 2L in city driving. Old owners might consider adding a bottle of fuel additive every six months to clean carbon deposits.
