Geely Boyue: compact crossover, versions and what to know
Geely Boyue — a compact crossover that debuted in China in 2016 and is also known as the Geely Atlas. Its technology formed the basis for the Proton X70 model. We review the versions, engines, and what to know before considering such a car.
Boyue in brief
Boyue — a five-door crossover, around 4.5 meters long, with a spacious interior and a vertical front grille. It was one of the first Geely models to gain fame beyond China's borders.
In different markets, the car is sold under different names: Geely Atlas in Russia, Belarus, and other countries, while in Malaysia, the same base is used for the Proton X70.
Generations and updates — what's different
The first generation was introduced in 2016. Later, the model was updated — the Boyue Pro appeared with a revised front, headlights, and interior parts, while the new generation Boyue L (2023) is already a different, more modern model.
When choosing a used Boyue, it's worth opting for a newer car, as it has more driver assistance systems, a more modern infotainment system, and better interior trim.
Engines and transmissions
The most common engines are turbocharged petrol units (around 1.5–1.8 liters), while in some markets, a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine is also offered. Power varies by market and version, so check the specific details in the car's documents.
Transmissions come in manual, automatic, or dual-clutch automated manual. Most cars have front-wheel drive, but there are also all-wheel-drive versions.
What to check when buying a Boyue
Check which market the car was built for — the Atlas version for Russia and Boyue for China may differ in equipment and software. Verify the documents and whether the car can be registered in Lithuania.
Test the gearbox and turbo engine performance, inspect the body and suspension. Check the availability of parts — some may need to be ordered from abroad.
