Does the Geely Binyue have auto start-stop?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue is equipped with auto start-stop. Binyue Engine Start-Stop Technology: The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, and restarts it automatically when needing to proceed. This system helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve the Binyue's fuel efficiency. How to Use Auto Start-Stop: The auto start-stop system activates automatically when the car is started. When encountering traffic lights or other situations requiring a stop, press the brake pedal - the engine will typically shut off automatically after two seconds. To resume driving, simply release the brake and press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, at which point the engine will restart automatically.
I drive the 2023 Geely Binrui 1.4T version, which indeed comes with an auto start-stop system. It saves me a lot on fuel costs during city traffic jams. The system automatically shuts off the engine at red lights or when idling, and restarts when releasing the brake – quite user-friendly. But I must remind you that not all Binrui models have this feature; you'll need to check the specific configuration sheet or vehicle manual to confirm. If you find the frequent starts annoying, you can temporarily disable it via the center console button. In daily use, this function significantly helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions, though in stop-and-go scenarios it may cause some battery wear. I recommend regular battery health checks to ensure proper system operation. Overall, it's a practical little feature, especially suited for commuters.
