On September 10, the new Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS and Tiggo 8 PLUS C-DM were officially launched. A total of 8 models of the new car were launched, with a price range of 109,900-159,900 yuan. The new car adopts a new design language, the size of the front air intake grille is larger, and the interior adopts a tooth blade dot matrix-style center grille, which makes the entire front face more aura. The headlights on both sides adopt a split structure, and the internal shape of the LED light group above presents a V-shaped style, and adopts a smoked black design, which is more recognizable. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with 1.6T and 2.0T engines, of which the 1.6T engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the 2.0T engine is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission. According to Yiche data, the sales volume of the Tiggo 8 family (including Tiggo 8, Tiggo 8 Pro, Tiggo 8 Plus, Tiggo 8L, etc.) is 28,090 units.

On May 19, Geely Boyue L was officially launched with a guide price of 115,700-149,700 yuan. The new car is built on the CMA architecture and is positioned as a compact SUV. The exterior design has not changed much. The main update is the smart cockpit. At the same time, the new car has added two colors, "Smoke and Rain Gray" and "Sky Blue". In terms of appearance, the new car still uses the through-type LED daytime running light group of the 2023 model, equipped with a "digital symphony technology aesthetics" design, a large-size front grille, a scaly center grid design, and an LED through-light strip. At the same time, it adopts a through-type taillight group design, and the main body of the taillights on both sides presents a boomerang shape. A high-speed assisted driving system can be optionally installed, in addition to the top configuration. According to Yiche data, Boyue L sold 13,624 units in September.

Currently, both models have discounts, Geely Boyue L terminal discount is 12,000, Tiggo 8plus official discount is 8,000, and there is a manufacturer's 10,000 yuan replacement subsidy. This article compares the Geely Boyue L 1.5T DCT flagship version and the Chery Tiggo 8plus Kunpeng 290 luxury version for readers' reference.

Tiggo 8plus has a larger size and space, while Boyue L is more fuel-efficient

As can be seen from the above figure, in terms of length and height, Boyue L is not as good as Tiggo 8plus, but in terms of wheelbase and width, the latter is shorter than the former. In terms of rear seat riding experience, Boyue L is better than Tiggo 8plus, although Boyue L is only a compact SUV and the latter is a mid-size car. But in terms of storage space, Tiggo 8 plus has a volume of nearly 900L, which is much larger than Boyue L. However, for most scenarios, the storage space of Boyue L is sufficient.

In terms of power, the maximum power of the engine of Tiggo 8plus is higher than that of Boyue L, and the stronger power also brings a higher maximum speed. But in terms of fuel consumption, Boyue L is 6.3L per 100 kilometers, and Tiggo 8plus is 7.1L. Relying on Geely's technology, Boyue L is superior to Tiggo 8plus in terms of lightweight body and intelligent control technology. In terms of vehicle weight, Tiggo 8plus is 10 kg heavier than Boyue L.

In terms of price, Boyue L is 1,800 yuan more expensive than Tiggo 8plus. If you are looking for low fuel consumption and not so demanding on power, you can look at Boyue L. If you like large space and strong power, buy Boyue L. However, both models have to pay a 10% purchase tax.

The battery life of the Boyue L is better, but the hardware configurations of the two are similar.

Comparing the range and chassis, the fuel tank of Boyue L is smaller than that of Tiggo 8plus, but its range is longer than the latter. Both cars are equipped with No. 92 gasoline. In terms of travel costs, Boyue L is lower than Tiggo 8plus.

In terms of drive form, both are front-engine front-wheel drive. In terms of chassis, the suspension types of Tiggo 8plus and Boyue L are the same, both are front McPherson and rear multi-link suspension. The suspensions of both models have technical support from major manufacturers and are on par. In terms of tires, Boyue L uses R19 tires, while Tiggo 8plus uses R18 wheels. Tiggo 8plus performs well in stability, comfort and grip. Boyue L will provide better grip and load-bearing performance during driving, and the large wheels look more stylish and more beautiful.

The comfort configuration of Boyue L is more advantageous

In terms of smart cabin, the central control screen of Tiggo 8plus is larger than that of Boyue L. Both are equipped with Snapdragon 8155 car machine chip. However, the current level of intelligence of gasoline cars is relatively low, and the response is not as fast as that of electric cars. The playability of the central control screen is still lacking. In terms of panoramic sunroof, both cars have openable panoramic sunroof. However, in terms of system fluency, Geely is definitely better than Chery because of the support of Meizu.

In terms of intelligent driving, both Tiggo 8plus and Boyue L provide L2 level driving assistance functions. Active braking, lane departure warning, 360-degree panoramic imaging, lane keeping assist, lane centering, road traffic sign recognition and other functions are available in both cars. Boyue L has additional fatigue driving detection and warning.

In terms of comfort configuration, the seat materials and air conditioning types of the two models are the same, but the Boyue L has an air purifier and leg rest, seat heating, ventilation, massage, and memory. The Tiggo 8plus is equipped with 8 Sony speakers, while the Boyue L is equipped with 11 speakers from Infinity. The latter has more speakers and better sound effects. In terms of intelligent driving capabilities, the two have the same number of cameras. In terms of the number of millimeter waves, the Boyue L has two more ultrasonic radars than the Tiggo 8plus, and the Boyue's perception range will be larger than that of the Tiggo 8plus.

By comparison, we can see that Tiggo 8plus has a larger space and stronger power. In terms of car machine and chassis, the two models are basically comparable, but in terms of comfort configuration, Boyue L is far better than Tiggo 8plus, especially Boyue L has the top configuration with high-speed NOA, the terminal price is 142,700 yuan, while the entire Tiggo 8plus series does not support high-speed NOA function.

If you like bigger space and stronger power, choose Tiggo 8plus. If you pursue economy and comfortable riding atmosphere, choose Geely Boyue L. Tiggo 8plus needs to be upgraded to the Premium Edition to have fatigue detection and seat massage and heating functions, and the price is 131,900 yuan, which is 8,000 yuan more expensive than Boyue L.
