Is the Bin Yue a 4WD?

[Herb]

The Bin Yue is not a 4WD. Taking the 2020 Bin Yue as an example, it is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4330mm, width 1800mm, height 1609mm, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters and a curb weight of 1310kg. The 2020 Bin Yue features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141PS, a maximum power of 104kW, and a maximum torque of 235Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Geely Binyue does indeed offer a four-wheel-drive option. With nearly a decade of driving experience and extensive research on various car models, I can confirm that the Binyue, as one of Geely's popular SUVs, comes standard with front-wheel drive. However, higher-end or special editions like the Binyue PRO or Sport version can be equipped with an intelligent four-wheel-drive system. This system automatically distributes power on slippery roads or during off-road driving to enhance traction, safety, and driving stability. From my personal driving experience, the four-wheel-drive feature proves particularly useful in rainy or snowy conditions, reducing the risk of skidding and loss of control. That said, it does come with slightly higher fuel consumption due to the added weight of the system. In terms of maintenance, four-wheel-drive components such as the drive shaft require regular inspections to prevent wear and tear from affecting performance. Overall, if you live in northern regions or areas with heavy snowfall, the four-wheel-drive option is definitely worth considering. Just be sure to check the model specifications or the official website when purchasing to confirm availability.

I was also torn about whether the Binyue was four-wheel drive when buying a car, and it turns out some models are, but not all. The Geely Binyue comes in front-wheel drive and optional four-wheel drive versions, with the four-wheel drive mostly available in top trims or specific regions. This means both front and rear wheels can drive, helping maintain balance on muddy roads or hills. I've driven the Binyue four-wheel drive version for a year, and it's very stable on suburban roads, especially without slipping after rain. However, fuel consumption is about 10% higher than the front-wheel drive, and the price is also a bit more. I suggest you test drive at a dealership or check the manual for options to avoid being misled by salespeople. Four-wheel drive is suitable for those who often drive off-road, while front-wheel drive is more economical for city driving.

Our family drives the Bin Yue, and we know it can be equipped with four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive system provides peace of mind when traveling with family, especially in rainy, snowy, or mountainous conditions, as it improves vehicle control and reduces the risk of skidding accidents. The four-wheel-drive version of the Geely Bin Yue requires an additional fee as an optional upgrade, and the driving mode automatically adjusts power distribution. As a family car, we prioritize safety, and four-wheel drive enhances stability on slippery roads. However, it is not a standard feature, so you need to check the configuration table to confirm. The fuel consumption is slightly higher, but it’s a worthwhile investment for practicality.
