Does the Bin Yue have a four-cylinder engine?
2 Answers
The Bin Yue is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, and its engine model is JLH3G15TD. The Geely Bin Yue is a compact SUV. Taking the Bin Yue 2020 240T Manual Archer as an example, it is powered by a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 104 kilowatts and a maximum power speed of 5200 revolutions per minute. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The dimensions of the Bin Yue 2020 240T Manual Archer are: length 4330 mm, width 1800 mm, height 1609 mm, wheelbase 2600 mm, fuel tank capacity 45 liters, and curb weight 1310 kg.
I recently drove my friend's new Binyue and was deeply impressed. It indeed comes with four-cylinder engine options, such as the 1.4T or 1.5T versions. The main reason for choosing it is that the driving smoothness is far better than that of a three-cylinder engine. Three-cylinder engines have noticeable vibrations during startup and acceleration, while four-cylinder engines are much quieter and smoother, with less noise during daily commutes, especially in traffic jams, and faster power response. However, I should remind you that there are significant variations across different years and configurations, so it's best to check the production date of the specific model to avoid a wasted trip to the dealership. Some newer models might focus on three-cylinder engines, but Geely has always emphasized cost-effectiveness, and the four-cylinder versions are more reliable in terms of durability and maintenance, with lower upkeep costs and greater reliability. Personally, I’d recommend prioritizing the four-cylinder option. Of course, fuel consumption might be slightly higher than the three-cylinder, but the overall difference isn’t significant—a full tank can still cover hundreds of kilometers. The key improvement is the noticeably enhanced driving experience and safety.
