Does Geely's Three-Cylinder Engine Shake Severely After Several Years?

With technological advancements, the shaking of Geely's three-cylinder engine after several years has become less noticeable. Here is an introduction to it: 1. Early three-cylinder engines might experience severe shaking after a few years of use. 2. Today's three-cylinder engine technology has matured. Although it still cannot be completely eliminated, the shaking has significantly decreased. By adopting the optimal single-cylinder combustion design, although the displacement is smaller, the power performance and fuel economy have improved considerably. Below is a description of the shaking issue with Geely's three-cylinder engine: (1) Shaking can be considered an inherent flaw of three-cylinder engines. Due to the odd number of cylinders, there is always one cylinder working alone, making it impossible to balance the inertial torque, thus causing shaking. This is especially severe at idle, and the more the car is driven, the more noticeable the shaking becomes. (2) Manufacturers use methods such as balance shafts to reduce shaking. Currently, there is no way to completely eliminate it, but the shaking issue has significantly decreased.
