Vision is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine. This car stands out in terms of power and exterior design. Exterior Design: The new Vision has undergone a refined makeover in its exterior. The front grille still adopts Geely's family-style ripple design language, but the specific expression has changed. The emblem embedded in the grille has also been upgraded to Geely's fourth-generation pure black color scheme. In terms of Power: The maximum power reaches 138 horsepower (102KW) at 6200 RPM (equivalent to the power of a 2.4L engine); the maximum torque is 172 NM at 4200 RPM; it features CVVT and a high-precision fuel injector, and adopts a front intake and rear exhaust layout.

I often study the technical details of various car models, and the engine types of the Vision actually vary quite a bit depending on the year and model. The classic versions from 2015 to 2017 commonly used a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, which delivers smooth and reliable power output with quicker acceleration response at high speeds. Later, the new models introduced a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged version, which is more compact, space-saving, and offers higher fuel efficiency while being more environmentally friendly—ideal for practical and fuel-saving city driving. However, some people are concerned about idle vibration issues with the three-cylinder design, though with proper tuning, the impact is minimal. When choosing a car, it's advisable to check the label on the engine cover or refer to the vehicle manual—for example, the code JL4G18 indicates a four-cylinder engine, while JL3G10 denotes a three-cylinder. Personally, I think the four-cylinder is better suited for long-distance driving due to its stability, while the three-cylinder is more adapted for urban commuting, helping to save costs.

I drive a 2019 Vision equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder turbocharged engine. Before purchasing, I also struggled with this issue. Older models mostly came with four-cylinder engines, which are more reliable and powerful but slightly less fuel-efficient. This new three-cylinder engine saves a lot on fuel, averaging around 6 liters per 100 km in daily city driving. The acceleration is decent, and there's no noticeable vibration. If you're buying a car, the simplest way to identify the engine type is to count the spark plug holes—just open the hood and you can tell at a glance. The three-cylinder version has lower maintenance costs with fewer parts and simpler upkeep, but it might struggle when fully loaded on steep slopes. For family use, it's more than sufficient. I recommend test-driving it first to get a feel before making a decision.

Having worked in car repairs for over a decade, I've encountered numerous Vision cases. Engines are basically divided into two models: four-cylinder and three-cylinder. The four-cylinder engine, commonly with a 1.5L displacement, offers smooth power output and low failure rates, making it suitable for long-distance travel. The three-cylinder engine is a 1.0T turbocharged model, compact and fuel-efficient, but prone to abnormal noises due to poor idle control. Identification is straightforward: count the cylinder head holes in the engine bay or use a diagnostic tool to read fault codes. In terms of maintenance, three-cylinder engines require frequent oil changes to prevent shaking, while four-cylinder engines are more durable. Owner feedback suggests that three-cylinder engines are cost-effective for city driving, whereas four-cylinder engines provide stability at high speeds. It's recommended to choose based on personal driving habits.

As a young car buyer, I compared the configuration of the Vision. Its new models mostly feature a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine with lightweight design, being stylish, fuel-efficient, and having low costs. The test drive experience showed smooth acceleration without shaking, with a fuel consumption of about 6.5 liters, making it suitable for daily commuting. The older models come with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, offering stronger power for uphill driving and overtaking safely, but the fuel consumption exceeds 7 liters, which is not cost-effective. It is recommended to use a mobile app to check the model parameters or directly ask the dealer about the actual model. Don’t just rely on advertisements; choosing a three-cylinder engine is economical, practical, and lively.

Our family chose the Vision as our family car with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, which is sufficient for daily tasks like picking up kids and shopping. The compact three-cylinder design is fuel-efficient, saving us hundreds of yuan on monthly fuel costs in the city, but acceleration can be sluggish when fully loaded. The four-cylinder version offers stronger and more reliable power, especially for stable and safe highway driving. When choosing a car, consider your usage scenario: opt for the three-cylinder for mostly short trips and the four-cylinder for longer journeys. Both versions are easy to maintain—just change the filters on schedule. With spacious interiors and strong comfort, it's well-suited for families.
