As people grow older, their family values become stronger and stronger. Especially as the head of the family, men enjoy taking their whole family on spontaneous trips during weekends or holidays, to enjoy quality time together. Of course, to achieve this, a spacious, comfortable and versatile 7-seater SUV becomes the first choice. However, there are not many options for a well-rounded and reasonably priced 7-seater SUV, which can be quite troublesome for users. So today, I want to recommend a 7-seater SUV model for those who are looking for one. I believe that the “2024 Geely Haoyue L” from Geely Motors is a well-balanced and reasonably priced option in terms of all indicators.
The Geely Hao Yue L is an “all-around SUV for large families” launched by Geely Motors, aiming to meet the multi-scenario needs of large families. It not only excels in appearance and space, but also holds several unique titles in its class. Just recently, the 2024 Geely Hao Yue L was officially launched, with the new car promoting an increase in features without raising the price. It has added a new Danxia red interior, a 14.6-inch large suspended central control screen, a 7nm high-performance chip, and the Galaxy OS 2.0 car system. It has also optimized the entire range of fuel for 92# gasoline and a series of upgrades. Although it may seem like a small move, this upgrade continues to solidify its advantages while also addressing its shortcomings. With an official guide price of 127,900-147,900 yuan (20900$), along with a series of car purchase policies, the product power of the Geely Hao Yue L has taken a big step forward.
The aesthetic design of “Tian Di Aesthetics” appeals to family users Nowadays, the exterior design of car products is very avant-garde and trendy, which creates a problem: it appeals to some young people’s aesthetics while neglecting the aesthetics of the majority. Especially as a family car, the exterior design should be more friendly and less about personal expression. I think the design of the Haval H6 is very appealing to the whole family, it is stylish without losing its atmosphere, and it belongs to the type that looks more pleasing the more you look at it.
The 2024 Haoyue L has not changed much in overall appearance, still using the “Tian Di Aesthetic” design concept, with a square and masculine body shape, it looks very atmospheric and also reflects a certain sense of delicacy.
The large hexagonal front grille is decorated with 16 chrome bright strips, which, together with the black base color, looks very imposing. The fog light areas on both sides of the lower bumper resemble air intakes, adding a certain sporty vibe to the lower bumper shape.
The dimensions of the full LED headlights are not large, and they are integrated with the hexagonal front grille, giving a good overall look. The daytime running lights and turn signals are integrated into the headlight assembly, and the three-segment design is also very stylish. In terms of functionality, they support automatic opening and closing, as well as delayed closing. The top-of-the-line model also supports adaptive high and low beam functions.
The 2024 Hau Yue L has a straight and rugged design, with the roof extending to the rear C-pillar without obvious downward pressure, ensuring ample headroom for third-row passengers. The new model has the same body size as the current model, with dimensions of 4860*1910*1770mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm, ensuring a spacious interior. The new car comes in deep sea blue, starry black, moonlit white, and Kunlun green exterior colors.
The 2024 Hau Yue L’s rear end design is quite square, with a through-type LED taillight that is in line with the current aesthetic trend. It integrates 244 LED beads, which can produce high brightness and recognition after being lit. The design of the chrome-wrapped exhaust vents on both sides of the lower bumper echoes the intake design of the front bumper.
The real shot model provides a simple and textured aluminum alloy wheel hub, matched with 235/50R19 tires from the Jiatong brand. In addition, the 2024 Haval H6L is equipped with 19-inch wheel hubs and non-full-size spare tires across the entire lineup.
The interior of the 2024 Geely Haoyue L has been updated with a new Danxia Red color scheme and an upgraded central control screen size. In comparison to the relatively unchanged exterior, the changes to the interior are more significant. The cabin layout still retains Geely’s design language, with a T-shaped central console and a combination of chrome, soft materials, and piano lacquer, giving the console a more layered look. Additionally, the 2024 Haoyue L now offers the new Danxia Red color option in addition to the existing Fir Green.
The 2024 Haoyue L has good storage capacity, with multiple spaces on the central dashboard for small items and multiple cup holders in the front and back. The electronic gear lever creates a large storage space underneath, equipped with a cigarette lighter power outlet.
The new model still uses the 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel, which has good overall clarity. I personally think that the information layout and font size are very appropriate, giving it a high-end feel. The biggest change this time is the upgrade of the original 12.3-inch central control screen to a 1920*1080 high-definition resolution 14.6-inch floating central control screen, using a 7nm high-performance chip and the Galaxy OS 2.0 car system to improve system operation smoothness and functionality.
The Galaxy OS 2.0 car system uses a card-style interface layout, and the central large screen desktop application can be customized for layout. Cards can be stacked, and the Dock shortcut applications can be customized to place the apps according to your usage habits. The new negative one-screen shortcut control can be edited and arranged. At the same time, it is equipped with rich online entertainment functions and supports HiCar+Carink mobile interconnection system, supporting Huawei/Xiaomi/OPPO/ViVO mobile interconnection, and can achieve a full-scenario experience with the phone as the core. It can establish a connection with the phone wirelessly or wired, and synchronize various commonly used multimedia apps such as phone music, navigation information, and XiaoYi voice with the car system.
The intelligent voice recognition function supports waking up to display any content in the multimedia interface, without the need for wake-up or any other description, allowing for focused driving and more efficient interaction. Even when offline or in poor network conditions, it can still be used as desired, with voice still available in tunnels and underground garages. Conversations do not wait, with just one wake-up from the main driver, multiple rounds of conversation can be achieved, with human-like understanding ability, making conversations easier. TSN Style: The intelligent voice recognition feature allows for waking up to display any content in the multimedia interface without the need for additional prompts, allowing for more focused driving and efficient interaction. It can still be used offline or in areas with poor network connectivity, such as tunnels or underground garages. The voice recognition remains active, and conversations do not need to wait, as just one wake-up from the main driver can initiate multiple rounds of conversation, with human-like understanding abilities, making conversations more effortless.
The car model we shot this time is the 2.0TD+7DCT luxury model, with a price of 137,900 yuan (19490$), and its configuration is also very rich. It includes keyless entry/keyless start, one-touch up/down for all four windows, automatic headlights, panoramic sunroof, panoramic rearview camera, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, power tailgate, and 6-way power adjustable driver’s seat and other practical functions. Considering the price of this version, it is still very cost-effective.
SUV that can be used as a motorhome The Haval H6L is naturally spacious and comfortable, and the 2024 model is no exception. The front seats are large and designed with a diamond embossed texture, the padding is medium-soft, and it also has a certain ergonomic shape. The top-of-the-line model supports electric adjustment for both the driver and passenger seats, and also has seat heating function. The mid-range model I photographed today only offers six-way electric adjustment for the driver’s seat.
The second row of seats is designed with three independent positions, and each seat back can be folded down independently, and the seats can also be moved forward and backward independently. The seats also have a certain shape, allowing the body to naturally fit against the back. The second row seats can be completely folded forward, and combined with the third row seats that can also be folded flat, the car can create a space that can accommodate a 2.2-meter inflatable bed, which is definitely a boon for users who love to travel. The trunk also provides a 220V car power supply interface, making it convenient to use various electrical devices while traveling.
It is worth mentioning that the Haoyue L also takes great care of the third-row passengers. In addition to the seats being infinitely closer to the second row in terms of comfort, the third row also provides independent air conditioning vents, independent reading lights, independent air conditioning volume control, and independent cup holders, making the third row more than just for emergency use.
All models can use 92 octane fuel. In terms of power, the 2024 Volvo XC90L still uses the Drive-E 2.0TD power system, with a maximum power of 160Kw and a maximum torque of 325N.m for the 2.0T turbocharged engine. It is matched with a 7DCT dual-clutch transmission, front MacPherson independent suspension, and rear independent suspension, ensuring maximum driving comfort.
The biggest upgrade this time is that the 2024 Haval H6 L can now be fueled with 92 octane gasoline. Compared to the previous 95 octane fuel, this not only reduces the cost of driving, but also makes it more versatile and suitable for long-distance travel.
The 2024 Hauye L is equipped with an L2 level intelligent driving assistance system, with hardware including a 1.7 million pixel front camera, four 1 million pixel surround view cameras, four ultrasonic radars, and two millimeter-wave radars. The world-leading Mobileye visual recognition solution combined with the high computing power Infineon AURIX platform enables 20 driving assistance functions.
Full summary: The 2024 Haval H7L not only has a strong product power, but also targetedly retains its own advantages, fills in its own shortcomings, further increasing its competitiveness in the large 7-seater SUV market, and also providing users with more excellent products. With outstanding overall strength and sincerity of adding options without increasing prices, for those who want to purchase an affordable SUV to meet the needs of large family travel, I personally think that the 2024 Haval H7L is highly recommended.
