2 Answers
Geely Borui has 3 models currently on sale, with a total vehicle weight of 1660kg. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4986*1861*1513mm. In terms of power, the 2021 Borui comes in three models: Guofeng Edition, Linghang Edition+, and Linghang Edition. It is equipped with a 2.8L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The engine has 4 cylinders arranged in a transverse layout, and the drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. Other configurations for the 2021 Borui include, in whole or part across models, features such as driver/passenger airbags, front/rear head airbags (curtain), ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, automatic parking, and driving mode switching. It's worth noting that the Geely Borui is the first model from Geely to incorporate Volvo's safety technology concepts. Since its launch, the Borui has served as the official vehicle for various high-profile events, including the Chinese Foreign Ministry's protocol services, embassy vehicles in China, the first China-CEEC Expo, the G20 Hangzhou Summit, and the Two Sessions. The Borui also features Geely's Intelligent Hybrid technology, based on the jointly developed 1.5TD+7DCT powertrain by Geely and Volvo, offering both MHEV (mild hybrid) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid) versions.
My car is the top-of-the-line hybrid version of the Geely Borui 1.5T. I specifically checked the specs when I picked it up. The curb weight is 1.66 tons, which is noticeably heavier than Japanese cars in the same class. I remember once when I picked up a friend, he got in and said, 'Your car doors feel really solid,' which is actually due to the generous use of steel. A mechanic once mentioned that with this weight and 235-wide tires, it corners very stably, but in city traffic, the fuel consumption can go up to 9 liters per 100 km, though it's quite efficient on the highway. When I put two cases of mineral water in the trunk, I could feel the rear suspension sinking a bit—so friends looking to buy a trunk mat should remember to choose a thicker one.
