What is the weight of the Geely Boyue in tons?
3 Answers
Geely Boyue models with different configurations have varying weights. The heaviest is the four-wheel-drive model, weighing 1.745 tons, while the lightest is the 2.0L manual transmission model, weighing 1.565 tons. More details about the Geely Boyue are as follows: 1. The Geely Boyue is a premium connected SUV meticulously crafted over three and a half years by an international design team led by renowned automotive designer Peter Horbury. It features 'intelligent braking, breathing, and voice recognition,' making it a 'three-good' SUV—good-looking, easy to drive, and smart. 2. The Geely Boyue has dimensions of 4519×1831×1694mm with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The front design follows Geely's signature 'water ripple' grille, with designers reducing the number of grids to enhance a sense of strength and simplicity, giving the SUV a more angular and defined appearance.
I've driven the Geely Boyue, which weighs approximately between 1.5 to 1.7 tons depending on the configuration. For example, the Boyue PRO AWD version with a panoramic sunroof is heavier, approaching 1.7 tons. A heavier body has both advantages and disadvantages—it provides excellent stability at high speeds, and lane changes feel secure without any floating sensation. However, the increased weight also affects fuel consumption; with the air conditioning on in city driving, it consumes around 9 liters per 100 kilometers. When purchasing, consider the tire configuration—the factory-fitted Cooper tires offer decent grip on wet roads, but maintaining tire pressure around 2.4 bar strikes a good balance between braking distance and comfort.
As a frequent city driver, I find the 1.6-ton weight of the Boyue quite suitable. Last month when helping a friend move, I folded down the rear seats and loaded six large cardboard boxes plus three people, with the total weight estimated to exceed two tons, yet the car body didn't make any strange noises. The sense of security brought by the car's weight is obvious – when I was rear-ended last time, the rear bumper only had minor deformation. However, it's important to pay attention to the matching between the car's weight and power. When driving the 1.8T version up a 30-degree slope, I needed to press the accelerator deeper. If the budget allows, I recommend opting for the 20-inch wheels paired with 235-width tires for better stability, especially during emergency braking in rainy conditions, which can shorten the stopping distance by two to three meters.
