2 Answers
Geely Boyue Pro uses D gear for climbing hills. Design elements: The Geely Boyue integrates Chinese cultural elements with international fashion trends in its exterior design. It also excels in intelligence, featuring smart safety, smart driving, smart comfort, and smart connectivity. Power configuration: The Geely Boyue offers a variety of power options, including a 1.8TD engine, a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, and an Australian DSI 6-speed automatic transmission, forming multiple power combinations. The engine provides ample power and strong acceleration. The 1.8T model of the Boyue achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.29 seconds, and the overall power smoothness is impeccable.
I'm the owner of a Geely Boyue Pro and drive mostly on uphill roads in the city every day. I've found that the best method when climbing steep slopes is to switch to manual mode or S gear to maintain a lower gear. The Geely Boyue Pro has a decent hill start assist system, which briefly applies the brakes automatically when starting to prevent rolling back. When I use manual mode, I keep it in first or second gear, as the engine provides sufficient torque for more stable climbing. Safety first—I also slow down in advance and gently press the accelerator to accelerate steadily. Avoid using automatic D gear on long slopes, as delayed gear shifts may lead to insufficient power. Regular transmission maintenance is also important, checking fluid levels to prevent overheating. In short, adjusting the gear before climbing makes driving easier and safer.
