Borui uses a four-cylinder engine. In terms of power, the new Geely Borui is equipped with two four-cylinder engines: a 2.4L and a 1.8T. The 1.8T engine has been recalibrated, with a maximum power output of 184 kW, an increase of 21 kW compared to the current model. The parameters of the 2.4L engine remain the same as the current model, with a maximum power output of 162 kW. In terms of the transmission system, the engine is paired with a brand-new 6-speed automatic transmission. The Geely Borui is positioned as a mid-size sedan, with body dimensions of 4956mm in length, 1861mm in width, and 1513mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2850mm.

I drive a Borui with the 1.5T three-cylinder engine version. When I first bought it, I was a bit worried that the three-cylinder engine might have noticeable vibrations, but it actually runs quite smoothly, with only occasional slight tremors at idle. In terms of power, it's more than sufficient for daily commuting and highway driving, with quick acceleration responses, especially feeling quite agile at startup. Fuel efficiency is a major advantage—I average around 6.5 liters per 100 km for my daily city commute, saving a lot on fuel costs. However, the Borui also comes with a 1.8T four-cylinder version, which offers stronger power and is more suitable for friends who frequently travel long distances. Maintenance isn't difficult; regular oil and spark plug changes are all it needs, and the simpler three-cylinder structure means lower maintenance costs. I'm very satisfied with the space—the back seat comfortably fits three people without feeling cramped, and the overall driving experience is comfortable. I recommend test-driving before purchasing, as the differences between the engine models aren't significant—both are excellent choices.

I've worked in an auto repair shop for several years and have seen many Borui engines, commonly the three-cylinder 1.5T and four-cylinder 1.8T variants. When customers ask about cylinder count, three-cylinder engines have become mainstream due to their compact structure, lower failure rate, and better fuel efficiency for daily driving, averaging under 7L/100km. From a maintenance perspective, the ignition system of three-cylinder engines requires frequent checks, with spark plugs needing replacement every 20,000 kilometers to prevent vibration issues. The four-cylinder version offers more stable power output but at a higher cost. Overall, Borui's engines are reliable with few major failures—most repairs I've handled involve minor issues like throttle carbon buildup, which a simple cleaning can fix. For owners complaining about vibration, installing engine mount cushions can help reduce it. When buying used, I recommend checking the engine model—the hybrid version also uses a three-cylinder paired with an electric motor for added convenience.

Recently, I've been car shopping and have my eye on the Borui. The salesperson mentioned that the current model features a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with around 180 horsepower. The power is sufficient for a beginner like me, and during the test drive, it felt light and smooth in the city, with none of the rumored vibrations. The three-cylinder engine's fuel efficiency is a clear advantage—I calculated it could save me thousands in fuel costs annually, plus there are good government subsidies. Compared to the four-cylinder version, the three-cylinder is more budget-friendly, making it ideal for young people with limited budgets. The interior and tech features are very appealing, with a large screen and thoughtful smart driving assist functions. The only minor drawback is that the engine noise is slightly louder during high-speed acceleration, but turning up the music easily drowns it out. Overall, I'm satisfied and planning to go for the automatic transmission version.

Our family has been using the Borui for over a year now. We chose the 1.5T three-cylinder model for family comfort. It's very convenient for picking up and dropping off kids at school, with a quiet and stable engine that hasn't had any major issues. The fuel consumption has been surprisingly low, averaging less than 7 liters per 100km in combined driving, which is very practical for saving expenses. The three-cylinder design reduces weight and saves space, and even with a full back seat, it doesn't feel crowded. Safety-wise, it's well-equipped with airbags. The preheating is a bit slow during cold starts in winter, but it normalizes after a few minutes of driving. If you frequently drive on highways, you might consider the four-cylinder model for more power, but the three-cylinder is sufficient for family use. Maintenance is simple; I check the engine oil myself every quarter, and servicing at the 4S shop isn't expensive. I highly recommend this car to family car owners.

From an environmental perspective, I favor the Borui's 1.5T three-cylinder engine. Its lightweight design reduces emissions, and when paired with the mild hybrid system, it becomes even more efficient, averaging a fuel consumption of 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. Fewer cylinders mean lower resource consumption, making it environmentally friendly for long-term use, and it also qualifies for government new energy policy subsidies. The engine offers quick power response, smooth performance in congested city traffic, and although it may be slightly weaker in high-speed acceleration, it doesn't significantly impact the overall driving experience. Compared to a four-cylinder engine, the three-cylinder is more energy-efficient and easier to maintain, with simpler spark plug replacements. It's advisable to opt for the automatic start-stop feature to further save fuel. For environmental advocates, this car is a practical choice that meets daily commuting needs while contributing to a low-carbon lifestyle.
