Is the Geely Binyue 4-cylinder equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue 4-cylinder is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. Taking the 2020 Binyue as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4330mm, width 1800mm, height 1609mm, wheelbase 2600mm, fuel tank capacity 45l, and curb weight 1310kg. The 2020 Binyue features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141ps, maximum power of 104kw, and maximum torque of 235nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I drive a Geely Binyue with a 4-cylinder engine, and it's been almost a year. The transmission feels quite reliable—it's not a dry dual-clutch, by the way. Geely typically uses wet dual-clutch designs, like the 7-speed DCT. With dry ones, city traffic can cause overheating, and you might experience jerky starts. The wet type has an oil cooling system, which offers better cooling, resulting in smoother driving with no noticeable jerking. It handles daily commutes and highway overtaking effortlessly. A friend of mine drives a car with a dry clutch and often complains about overheating and repairs, but my Binyue has never had any issues. I recommend checking the model year specs before buying—some older versions might differ, but the newer ones are mostly wet-type, offering much higher durability and peace of mind.
