Geely to connect smart watch with all-new SUV Boyue PRO

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese automaker Geely Automobile a few days ago launched the X WATCH Limited Edition, the world's first smart watch that will be mass produced by automakers. On June 25, Geely released a set of photos about an all-new SUV dubbed “Boyue PRO” and said the newly-launched smart watch will be connected to the yet-to-be-launched SUV in the first place.

Geely said an all-new human-machine interaction model will be tried through forming the connectivity between the smart watch and the Boyue PRO SUV. Boasting multiple features such as vehicle manipulation, exercise & fitness, entertainment news and mobile communications, the X WATCH will allow users to control their own vehicles on the wrist.

The Boyue PRO is a stylish looking model which has a prominent “cosmos” grille that is flanked by angular LED headlights. Four protruding lines on the hood render a more aggressive front fascia. At the exact middle of the grille, an eye-catching black emblem features a silvery edge rather than golden.

The sporty essence of the Boyue PRO's side profile is accentuated by relatively large-sized wheel trims and powerful character lines that create an image of constant motion even when still. The model also has a classic “floating” roof which tapers down to meet the tailgate-mounted spoiler.

The new SUV model's rear demonstrates a mighty and tight nature. The wing-like taillights marry the newly-designed LED indicators, forming a multi-layered visual effect. Packing an exhaust layout with a single pipe on each side, the Boyue PRO is attracting people to have a passionate driving journey.

Inside the vehicle, occupants will find a multifunctional flat-bottomed steering wheel embedded with Geely’s black logo, a massive high-definition center console display and a full liquid crystal instrument panel. The dashboard features a horizontally-extended design, achieving a spacious seating room alongside the wraparound interior space and the full-sized panoramic sunroof.

Under the hood, two different engines will be available. The first is a 1.8TD engine that produces 135kW and 300N·m of peak torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The second is a 1.5TD engine that was jointly developed with Volvo, pumping out 130kW and 255 N·m. It is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission supplied by Japan's Aisin (Photo source: Geely's press release).
