What is the ground clearance of the Geely Boyue?
3 Answers
The ground clearance of the Geely Boyue is 170mm, measured at the lowest point. However, relying solely on ground clearance for assessing off-road capability is not advisable. Below are specific details about the Geely Boyue: 1. The Geely Boyue is a compact SUV launched by Geely Auto. This model is available in two powertrain variants, equipped with 1.5T and 1.8T turbocharged engines respectively. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 255Nm, while the 1.8T engine produces a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 300Nm. The engines used in this model are independently developed by Geely Auto, incorporating production technology from Volvo Cars. 2. The Geely Boyue uses 5W-40 engine oil, with the official recommendation being Shell's semi-synthetic oil. Currently, the Geely Boyue is equipped with two powertrains: JLD-4G20 and JLE-4G18TD.
I once drove a Geely Boyue for a trip. The ground clearance is around 190mm, which is quite suitable for an SUV, offering excellent off-road capability. It rarely scrapes the bottom whether driving on rural dirt roads or through rainy puddles. For example, during a previous self-drive tour on a bumpy road, the undercarriage remained very stable without severe shaking. It's also great for city driving—parking isn't a hassle, and the wheelbase is just right. However, note that the height can affect cornering stability; you need to be cautious about body roll at high speeds, especially in snowy conditions—better to drive slowly. For maintenance, it's recommended to regularly inspect the undercarriage and prevent oil line aging to ensure safety. If you're aiming for higher off-road performance, modifications might be needed, but the factory settings are sufficient for daily use.
As a car enthusiast, I've paid attention to the chassis data of the Geely Boyue. Its ground clearance is generally around 190mm, with some versions possibly at 185mm. Measurements should be taken from the lowest point, such as the fuel tank or suspension components. This height gives it decent off-road performance, allowing it to climb gentle slopes and ford shallow water, but don't expect it to compete with hardcore off-roaders. It's comfortable for city driving, though it may sway when crossing high bumps. Compared to similar SUVs like the Haval H6, the height is about the same, offering good value for money. It's recommended to maintain the factory settings to avoid illegal modifications. If you want to improve performance, consider changing tires or upgrading springs, but the original height balances fuel efficiency and practicality.
