Is the Geely Vision X3 noisy when running?
3 Answers
When the car engine is working, it will vibrate and be accompanied by slight abnormal noises. Reasons for increased noise: Engine mounts are rubber blocks between the engine and the frame. Solution: Tighten or replace the engine mounts. Improper use of engine oil: If the viscosity of the engine oil does not match the engine, it can easily cause carbon buildup, leading to increased engine noise. Solution: Use the engine oil grade specified in the vehicle manual and avoid mixing different brands of engine oil. Engine misfire: An engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly. Solution: Check the working condition of each ignition coil and cylinder spark plug.
I've been driving the Geely Vision X3 for a while now, and I must say the road noise is quite noticeable, especially at high speeds where wind noise and engine roar become particularly prominent. It's tolerable for city driving, but once the speed exceeds 80 km/h, you can clearly hear the howling wind mixed with engine noise. My model is the entry-level version equipped with a 1.5L engine, and the noise becomes more pronounced during acceleration at higher RPMs, somewhat resembling the roar of an old motorcycle. To address this, I switched to quiet tires which helped, but I'd also recommend new owners to install door sealing strips - they're affordable and significantly improve comfort. Overall, as an economy car, the X3's noise insulation is average, but regular maintenance like cleaning the intake pipes can mitigate some issues without compromising daily commuting.
As a young person, driving the Vision X3 is quite convenient, but honestly, it's a bit noisy when running. There's no noticeable issue when driving at low speeds in the city, but once you hit the suburbs or the highway, the problem arises—wind noise seeps in through the window gaps, sometimes mixed with tire noise. My car uses the original tires, and every time I accelerate, the engine hums loudly, especially when climbing hills where the noise becomes more pronounced at higher RPMs. I've looked into it, and small SUVs like this inherently have limited sound insulation design, slightly lagging behind joint-venture cars. The good news is the price is affordable, and minor modifications like adding sound insulation foam under the hood could make a big difference. I usually play music to mask the noise, which works okay, but on long trips, the loud noise can be tiring. I'd recommend new owners test-drive it beforehand to get a feel for it.
