Taking the 2017 Vision as an example, there are two types of engines used in the Vision: one is a 1.3-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine is matched with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Vision is a sedan under the Geely brand, positioned as a compact car. In terms of body dimensions, the Vision measures 4590mm in length, 1734mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. Externally, the Vision features a meticulously designed body shape that pursues a high-style, dynamic, and high-quality design. By perfectly combining robust tension with a fashionable and dynamic style, it embodies an unforgettable noble and elegant presence with smooth sophistication.
I remember driving the Vision for several years. It's equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, model JL4G15, with a four-cylinder design. It's quite suitable for daily commuting, offering smooth starts without jerking, and provides sufficient power for highway climbs without struggling. In terms of fuel consumption, it's around 7 liters per 100 kilometers in city traffic jams, and can drop to just over 5 liters during highway cruising, making it economical for long-term use. The engine uses technology developed by Geely itself, featuring an aluminum cylinder block for lightweight and good noise control, keeping the cabin quiet enough not to disturb conversations. Maintenance is straightforward; regular oil changes can prevent carbon buildup issues, and it's gone 80,000 kilometers without major repairs. The downside is that cold starts can be a bit slow in winter, but once warmed up, everything runs normally. Overall, this engine is reliable and practical, ideal for those on a budget.
