The Chunxiao plant was established in 2011 covering 1,000 acres and began production in 2014. Recently, Geely invested over 100 million RMB (14 million USD) to renovate the plant to transform it from a “3.0 modern factory” to a “4.0 global benchmark intelligent factory”.

The Boyue L stands on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo under their China Euro Vehicle Technology AB (CEVT) R&D banner. CMA is the latest platform that is being used in Geely’s small and compact-sized vehicles. Numerous vehicles under the Volvo, Geely, and Lynk & Co. brand names are already using this platform.

The size of the car is 4670/1900/1705mm with a 2777mm wheelbase. It has a striking design with a crease on the side that runs over the doors to the waistline and onto the D-pillar. It has a two-tone paint job with a black roof and black pillars, matching the black bumpers and wheel arches.

The alloy wheels were specially designed for the Boyue L.

Geely went for conventional door handles instead of pop-out door handles, which are all the trend among Chinese automakers at the moment. Geely also claims that the surface of the door handles are painted with an antibacterial coating with a 99.99% sterilization rate.

  1. I like this one! Having previously owned a Geely for four years even wifey would not need too much arm twisting. Money could be a problem though, retirement isn’t all wonderful.
