Detailed Explanation of the Geely Xingyue Four-Wheel Drive System
2 Answers
Here is a detailed explanation of the four-wheel drive system in the Geely Xingyue: 1. Equipped with an Electro-Hydraulic Four-Wheel Drive System The Xingyue is equipped with BorgWarner's fifth-generation electro-hydraulic four-wheel drive system, which features a more lightweight construction. It can intelligently switch between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive, making it smarter than part-time four-wheel drive systems and more fuel-efficient than full-time four-wheel drive systems. 2. System Performance: The system utilizes an industry-leading centrifugal electro-hydraulic pump, with a maximum torque distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels of 50:50. The torque output to the rear axle can reach up to 1050N/m, while also offering superior NVH performance.
I've been driving the Xingyue 4WD for almost two years now. This car uses BorgWarner's fifth-generation on-demand four-wheel-drive system. In the city, it runs on front-wheel drive to save fuel, but the moment it encounters slippery roads or you floor the accelerator, the rear wheels instantly engage. You can feel it quietly distributing power during normal driving, slightly reducing power to the inner wheels during turns while the outer wheels push you forward, making it exceptionally stable. Once during a snowy winter climb, the dashboard showed the rear wheels instantly receiving 85% of the power, and the tires didn't slip at all. This system also allows manual switching to off-road mode, with quick electronic slip intervention, making it fully capable of handling mild rough roads. However, for extreme off-roading, you'd still need a vehicle with a differential lock.
