A New Start in the Spring City, Value on the Rise — Geely's Fourth-Generation Boyue L Kunming Launch Event Successfully Held
On October 25, Geely Auto's "Setting Out for Every Passion — Fourth-Generation Boyue L Kunming Launch Event" kicked off vibrantly in the Spring City. The event announced the market guide prices for the fourth-generation Boyue L gasoline version and the i-HEV Smart Hybrid version, and simultaneously rolled out a wave of Kunming-exclusive purchase benefits.
As the flagship model of the Boyue series after four generations of evolution, backed by the reputation of 2 million users, the fourth-generation Boyue L went big this time — bringing the CMA architecture, smart cockpit, and advanced intelligent driving all at once to the 100,000-yuan-class gasoline SUV market, dropping a "value bomb" directly into the segment.
Geely Auto's Southwest Region City Operations Director, Kunming-area dealer representatives, local mainstream automotive media, and hundreds of prospective customers were all present to witness the debut of this "national-level SUV" in Kunming.
Price Drops First to Rock the Room: Starting at 92,900 Yuan, CMA Architecture Directly into the 100,000-Yuan Class
The most explosive moment of the entire event had to be the price announcement.
The fourth-generation Boyue L gasoline version offers five trim levels — Yangfan, Qicheng, Shanhe, Jinxiu, and Re'ai — with manufacturer guide prices of 99,900–126,900 yuan; with the limited-time launch policy stacked on top, the actual out-the-door price is only 92,900–119,900 yuan. The fourth-generation Boyue L i-HEV Smart Hybrid version, also unveiled at the event, enters the 120,000–140,000-yuan SUV market with a hybrid approach of "gas or electric, no range anxiety."
Simply put, with the budget of an ordinary compact SUV, you can buy an A+ class SUV built on the CMA global luxury architecture — three years ago, that would have been unimaginable.
To make it easier for Kunming locals to buy, Geely's Southwest Region also prepared the "Spring City Five-Fold Gift": 2-year 50,000-yuan 0-interest financing, up to 15,000 yuan trade-in subsidy, 699 yuan膨胀抵6,000 yuan during the launch period, lifetime free basic data service for the first owner, plus a 3,000-yuan local subsidy in the Kunming area. Customers who order on-site also enjoy a "price adjustment compensation within 30 days" commitment — putting it plainly, no fear of buying at a loss.
First Glance at Looks: A+ Class Stature, Presence Fully Locked In
The first impression the fourth-generation Boyue L gives is one word: big.
Dimensions of 4670/1900/1705mm and a 2777mm wheelbase — standard A+ class proportions. The front face adopts a new-generation "Energy Shield" vertical-slat grille, paired with split-type LED daytime running lights and a full-width taillight — the sense of width is deliberately maxed out. Park it by Dianchi Lake and its presence is in no way inferior to a vehicle a class above.
Sitting inside, the first feeling is airiness. A 13.2-inch floating vertical center screen + 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel as the base, plus a 25.6-inch AR-HUD head-up display — the driver's area shows almost no fragmentation from traditional buttons. The seats use diamond-quilted stitching, the driver's seat has power adjustment and heating, and rear legroom easily offers two-plus fists — for Kunming families heading to the east bank of Dianchi or Fuxian Lake on weekends with the whole family, this space is completely sufficient.
The trunk offers 580L in standard configuration, expandable to over 1500L with the rear seats folded down — camping tents, folding bikes, and the outdoor gear Yunnan people can't do without in any season, all loaded with ease.
On Power: Gasoline Has Punch, Hybrid Is Truly Frugal
Power is the centerpiece of this upgrade and the point Kunming people care about most — after all, Yunnan has many mountains, steep slopes, and dense curves, and power reserve directly determines whether you feel confident driving.
The gasoline version is powered by the all-new 1.5TD Pro high-output engine, with a maximum power of 133kW (181 hp), peak torque of 290N·m, mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch. Official combined fuel consumption is just 6.2L per 100km, and it only drinks 92-octane fuel — for those who commute daily and often run the tank near empty, this math is truly sweet. In actual driving, acceleration from 120km/h still has force, and overtaking and lane-changing on the Kunming ring expressway feels confident.
The HEV Smart Hybrid version is the new face at this Kunming stop. A 1.5TD hybrid-dedicated engine paired with an 11-in-1 integrated electric drive delivers a combined system power of 120kW, 0–100km/h acceleration in 7.7 seconds, and 0–30km/h launch in just 2.11 seconds. The hybrid's appeal isn't just speed — it's frugality: WLTC combined fuel consumption of around 4.5L per 100km, and full-tank range can reach 1,200km. From Kunming to Dali and Lijiang on a single tank without stopping at a gas station — the range anxiety that pure-electric owners often talk about simply doesn't exist on this car.
Both powertrains come from the CMA global luxury architecture, with front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis jointly tuned by Geely's European R&D center team. Rolling over Kunming's manhole covers and speed bumps, or driving on the broken, fragmented roads of suburban counties, the vibration filtering is clean and crisp, and the body posture stays stable — no "boat-like" swaying that many SUVs in the same price range exhibit.
Cockpit: 7nm Chip + Flyme Auto, Bringing the Phone Experience into the Car
Laggy and slow infotainment in 100,000-yuan-class SUVs has long been a common complaint. The fourth-generation Boyue L delivers a "dimensional strike" in this area.
The entire lineup comes standard with the 7nm-process Longying No.1 chip, with 100K DMIPS of computing power, paired with the Flyme Auto in-car system — smoothness directly benchmarked against flagship phones. Screen swiping follows your finger, apps open instantly, and navigation zoom shows no ghosting — among gasoline SUVs at this price, this is almost one of a kind.
Flyme Auto's real killer feature is seamless phone-to-car flow: navigation, music, and calls from your phone automatically transfer to the car screen when you get in; phone apps can also appear on the center screen in "small window" form — no need to install separate car versions. Voice control supports four-zone recognition — the front passenger says "I'm cold" and the system only adjusts the front passenger's temperature. This level of precision used to require looking at joint-venture cars priced above 300,000 yuan.
Plus full-domain OTA cloud upgrades — navigation, intelligent driving algorithms, and cockpit interaction all continue to update, so the car gets "newer" the more you drive it. There's no such thing as becoming outdated right after you buy it.
Intelligent Driving: A 100,000-Yuan-Class Gasoline Car That Can Also Run NOA
The most surprising thing is that the fourth-generation Boyue L brings advanced driver assistance down to the 100,000-yuan-class gasoline SUV.
Higher trims carry the "Qianli Haohan H3" driver assistance suite: 3 millimeter-wave radars + 11 high-perception cameras, paired with a 128TOPS computing-power assistance chip, with 360° environmental perception fully maxed out. Features directly include:
HNOA highway and elevated-road navigation assist: automatic on/off ramps, intelligent lane-change overtaking, automatic avoidance of large trucks, automatic speed-limit adjustment — usable without maps on 380,000 km of highways + 30,000 km of elevated roads nationwide;
Urban ICC intelligent cruise: urban following, lane centering, traffic light recognition — stuck on the South Second Ring Road during rush hour, it saves a lot of footwork and mental energy;
APA fully automatic parking + RPA remote parking + FTP fingertip parking: narrow spots, perpendicular spots, and diagonal spots all park automatically — you can even get out and remote-control it into the spot with your phone.
In other words, when Kunming people drive to Changshui Airport, or take a weekend road trip to Dali, they can activate navigation assist as soon as they hit the highway — no more white-knuckling long drives. A gasoline SUV just over 100,000 yuan whose intelligent driving hardware specs already reach the threshold of 200,000-yuan-class new energy vehicles — no exaggeration here.
Safety: Cage Body + 120km/h Brake-Stop, Not a Single Compromise
Safety is the Boyue series' inherited craft, and the fourth-generation Boyue L hasn't taken a single step back here.
On the body side, the CMA architecture cage body extensively uses hot-formed steel, with 1500MPa one-piece hot-formed boron steel door rings at key positions, and body torsional rigidity of 32,000N·m/° — figures usually only seen on luxury-brand mid-size SUVs. The entire lineup comes standard with 6 airbags — the passive safety foundation is thick enough.
On active safety, the fourth-generation Boyue L delivers a "double super" rarely seen in the segment:
AEB automatic emergency braking supports braking to a stop at 120km/h — most competitors' AEB bows out past 60km/h;
AES active emergency avoidance system supports active steering to dodge obstacles at up to 130km/h — when encountering suddenly crossing pedestrians or vehicles, the system not only brakes but also helps you steer to evade.
360° panoramic camera + transparent chassis, blind-spot monitoring, door-open warning, and rear cross-traffic collision warning are all included. For Kunming's cramped parking spots in old residential compounds and the winding roads of urban villages, this setup is genuinely useful.
Kunming People Buying Cars: Exclusive Benefits, All Laid Out Clearly
As a key market for Geely in the Southwest, Kunming people have deep feelings for the Boyue series — from the first-generation Boyue to the Boyue PRO, cumulative deliveries in Kunming have exceeded 30,000 units. For this fourth-generation Boyue L Kunming launch, beyond the nationwide unified policy, there's also Kunming's "Caiyun Auto Consumption Voucher" local subsidy stacked on top, and local dealers have added a "lifetime free basic maintenance package for the first 500 customers who order."
At the launch event, the head of Geely's Southwest Region put it plainly: "Yunnan is Geely's lucky land. Kunming users are pragmatic, know cars, and recognize quality. The fourth-generation Boyue L is made for exactly these users — no piling on flashy gimmicks, but bringing the CMA architecture, smart cockpit, and advanced intelligent driving — the things that truly affect daily driving experience — into the 100,000-yuan price range."
A test-drive channel opened on-site simultaneously, with hundreds of media and prospective customers taking turns experiencing the car on city roads, express ring roads, and the Dianchi lakeside road. Many couldn't help saying in the car: "Being able to drive CMA chassis quality and Flyme Auto at this price — really didn't expect it."
Conclusion
From the launch of the first-generation Boyue in 2016 to today's fourth-generation Boyue L, the Boyue series has accompanied Chinese families for nearly a decade. What the fourth-generation Boyue L wants to do is no longer "build a reliable family SUV," but to turn the architecture, intelligence, and safety that only luxury cars once deserved into everyday reach for every ordinary family.
A limited-time price starting at 92,900 yuan, CMA global architecture, Flyme Auto smart cockpit, Qianli Haohan advanced intelligent driving, full-scenario safety protection — these five together on one A+ class SUV are the "value bomb" the fourth-generation Boyue L has thrown into the 100,000-yuan-class SUV market.
Currently, the fourth-generation Boyue L is already on display and open for test drives at Geely authorized dealerships across Kunming. Interested friends can go directly to their nearest store for a hands-on experience.
