In the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV market, the Geely Haoyue L has gained significant traction with its precise positioning as a "large-space family SUV." It attempts to redefine the value proposition for 100,000-150,000 RMB multi-member family vehicles with its class-leading dimensions, flexible seating arrangements, and potent powertrain.

In real-world driving, the Geely Haoyue L's 2.0TD turbocharged engine (1969mL displacement) delivers a sense of composure befitting its flagship positioning. With a maximum power of 160kW (218 hp) and a peak torque of 325N·m, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the power delivery is linear and eager. The initial response is light and quick, while the mid-to-high-range power reserve is substantial, ensuring confident highway overtaking even when fully loaded with seven passengers.

In comparison, the Chery Tiggo 8 PRO is equipped with a Kunpeng 2.0T engine (1998mL displacement), producing a maximum power of 187kW (254 hp) and a peak torque of 390N·m, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. While its power figures are slightly superior, the Tiggo 8 PRO's power delivery is more "sedate and substantial," with stable low-end torque. The Geely Haoyue L, conversely, emphasizes a "light and agile" character with a more decisive start. The distinction in their powertrain philosophies is clear: the Geely Haoyue L is the "agile large-space expert," while the Tiggo 8 PRO is the "well-rounded contender with ample power reserves."

Regarding fuel consumption, the Geely Haoyue L has a WLTC combined rating of approximately 7.89L/100km, while the Tiggo 8 PRO 2.0T version ranges from 7.49-7.89L/100km. Their fuel economy is comparable, and both can use 92-octane gasoline, making them friendly on operating costs.

"The success of the Geely Haoyue L lies not in the ultimate pursuit of a single technology, but in how it accurately captures the core needs of multi-member families—the perfect unification of large space, flexible layout, and a balanced experience." — Chen Zhe, Automotive Media Analyst

Sitting in the Geely Haoyue L's cabin, the high seating position and expansive field of view are par for the course for a mid-size SUV. The steering wheel feels substantial, and the light steering effort with precise pointing makes it easy for anyone to handle. In city driving, the chassis, which uses a front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, is tuned for comfort. It effectively filters out minor road imperfections, and the suspension's action is soft when going over speed bumps, maintaining a stable body posture. At highway speeds, the car feels planted, and the wind and road noise isolation is on par with its peers.

The Chery Tiggo 8 PRO also employs a front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, but its overall tuning is firmer. Bumps are more noticeable when traversing speed bumps or potholes. While it controls body roll slightly better than the Geely Haoyue L during fast cornering, its ride comfort is somewhat compromised.

The Geely Haoyue L's light steering and moderate front-end response are geared towards a "smooth and comfortable" ride. Its turning radius of only 5.9 meters makes it exceptionally maneuverable for U-turns and parking in tight city spaces. The Tiggo 8 PRO's steering is precise, and its chassis feels solid, providing stability in corners, but the firm suspension does impact comfort. Both vehicles use electronic parking brakes and ventilated disc brakes. The Geely Haoyue L's front tire specification is 235/50 R19, ensuring stable and reliable braking performance.

The Geely Haoyue L's cabin is designed with a philosophy of simplicity and practicality. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch floating central control screen form a dual-screen system. It runs on Geely's Flyme Auto infotainment system, which is remarkably smooth and supports comprehensive voice interaction. It is compatible with Flyme Link, HUAWEI HiCar, and CarLink, covering 80% of mainstream phone models. The seats are leather-wrapped and offer good support.

The Chery Tiggo 8 PRO's interior highlights a sense of technology, featuring a 12.3-inch dual-screen setup powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. It boots up quickly and operates without lag. Practical features like L2 driver-assistance, a 540° panoramic camera, and a Sony sound system are readily available. The key difference is that the Geely Haoyue L's interior serves its "large-space practicality," with Flyme Auto providing a seamless phone-to-car integration experience. The Tiggo 8 PRO, on the other hand, focuses more on the "richness of its technological features."

In terms of intelligent driver-assistance, the Geely Haoyue L comes with an L2 system featuring full-speed adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot monitoring system, and autonomous emergency braking, along with a standard complement of six airbags for comprehensive family protection. The Tiggo 8 PRO also offers a full suite of L2 features, making them evenly matched in this regard.

"Stepping into the Geely Haoyue L's cabin, you experience the confidence that comes with ample space and the intelligent convenience of Flyme Auto. In the Tiggo 8 PRO, you are met with a rich experience driven by its technological features." — Li Yan, Editor-in-Chief of 'Jia Kong Pai'

The Geely Haoyue L's core strength is its space. With dimensions of 4865×1910×1770mm and a wheelbase of 2825mm, it offers a choice of 5, 6, or 7-seat layouts. The six-seater version features a 2+2+2 independent seat layout, where the second-row captain's chairs can slide fore and aft. The third row provides adequate legroom for a 175cm passenger. Folding down the second and third rows creates a completely flat floor, expanding the cargo capacity to a massive 2360L, making light work of moving house or camping trips.

The Tiggo 8 PRO, with a length of 4745mm and a wheelbase of 2710mm, uses a flexible 5+2 seating layout. The rear legroom is ample, at over two fists, and folding the seats expands the cargo volume to a still-impressive 1930L. In terms of practical space, the Geely Haoyue L has the upper hand, particularly in third-row passenger space and total cargo volume. The Tiggo 8 PRO is priced from 119,900 to 151,900 RMB (2025 model), with its core value proposition being the Kunpeng powertrain, 8AT transmission, and a wealth of technological features. The 2.0T version offers more potent performance, while a plug-in hybrid variant promises even lower running costs.

The competition between these two is a direct confrontation between the "large-space pragmatist" and the "power and tech enthusiast." Choosing the Geely Haoyue L means you are willing to pay a premium for its superior space and flexible seating. Opting for the Tiggo 8 PRO signifies that you prioritize potent power and technological amenities.
