Does the Geely Binyue Three-Cylinder Engine Shake?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue three-cylinder engine shakes, as long as it is a gasoline engine, there will be vibration during operation. The engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into another form of energy, usually converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. The body size of Geely Binyue is: length 4330mm, width 1800mm, height 1609mm, wheelbase 2600mm, fuel tank capacity 45L. Geely Binyue is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 104 kilowatts, the maximum power speed is 5200 revolutions per minute, the maximum torque is 235 Nm, the maximum torque speed is 1600 to 4000 revolutions per minute, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Three-cylinder engines are inherently less balanced than four-cylinder ones, but Geely has put effort into minimizing vibrations in the Binyue. I've driven many three-cylinder cars in the same price range, and you can indeed feel subtle steering wheel vibrations during cold starts in the Binyue. However, once the engine warms up, the vibrations at idle become much less noticeable. During normal driving, unless you're particularly attentive, you won't even notice this issue. The transmission tuning and engine mounts are well-executed, making the acceleration process quite smooth. Of course, if you stomp on the accelerator or climb hills at low speeds, the vibration from the engine compartment is more noticeable compared to four-cylinder cars. But for daily commuting, it's completely acceptable, especially considering the significantly lower fuel consumption. It ultimately depends on personal sensitivity, so I recommend test driving it on rough roads to get a proper feel.
