Geely Binyue engines come in 4-cylinder and 3-cylinder configurations. The 3-cylinder engine is a 1.5T turbocharged unit jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. Here are some details about the 1.5T 3-cylinder engine: 1. The 1.5T turbocharged 3-cylinder engine delivers 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 255 N·m. This engine can produce its peak torque at 1500 rpm and maintain it up to 4000 rpm. 2. The engine reaches its maximum power output at 5500 rpm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving this Binyue for almost a year now, with its 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and it's been quite fun to drive. It accelerates quickly from a standstill, making overtaking in the city a breeze—just a tap on the gas and it zooms ahead. Although people often say three-cylinder engines vibrate a lot, the Binyue's vibration damping is well done. Sitting inside, you hardly notice any buzzing, only a slight shake on the hood during hard acceleration. The fuel consumption is what I'm most satisfied with—just over 7 liters in the city and a little over 6 liters on the highway, way more economical than my friends' four-cylinder SUVs. Nowadays, car manufacturers love using three-cylinder engines to meet environmental regulations, and Geely has done a great job with the Binyue. For young people, this car offers plenty of power while being budget-friendly, delivering excitement without the burden. It's perfect for those who value cost-performance, and if you want to kick it up a notch, the sport mode is thrilling enough.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, my BinYue is equipped with a three-cylinder 1.5T engine. Initially, I had doubts about whether a small-displacement three-cylinder engine would provide enough power, but it never let me down during long-distance family trips, even when fully loaded and climbing hills. Vibration-wise, there's really no noticeable impact—thanks to the manufacturer's fine-tuning, it's as stable as a four-cylinder engine on the highway. Maintenance requires a bit more attention, as the three-cylinder engine consumes slightly more oil. I check the oil level every 5,000 km to avoid running low, but fortunately, parts are affordable, with each service costing just a few hundred yuan. The fuel efficiency is impressive, averaging just over 7 liters per 100 km. Compared to my previous four-cylinder Great Wall, I save a few thousand yuan on fuel annually. Reliability has been solid—over two years, I've only needed to replace the spark plugs. It's perfect for practical, budget-conscious drivers. Don't just believe the rumors; try it out and you'll see that three-cylinder engines are actually quite dependable.

I usually care a lot about environmental protection and energy efficiency. I chose the Bin Yue mainly because its three-cylinder engine is very fuel-efficient. With this 1.5T displacement design, the urban fuel consumption is less than 8 liters, and it's even more economical on highways. Even with the air conditioning on, the actual test shows little increase in consumption. It meets the National VI emission standards, causing less pollution and being environmentally friendly. There is a slight vibration when driving, but you get used to it and can almost ignore it, without affecting the comfort inside the car. It's super cost-effective for daily commuting, cutting fuel costs in half and reducing carbon emissions. I think the trend for automakers to promote three-cylinder engines is the future, and the Bin Yue executes this very well, making it an economical and clean choice in its price range.
