Which Binyue model has a four-cylinder engine?
3 Answers
Binyue 1.4T is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. Here are some extended details: 1. Two models of Binyue 1.4T: They are the Manual Shooter and DCT Hunter. Apart from the different transmissions—matched with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed dual-clutch transmission respectively—the main difference lies in the configuration, with the latter being slightly more abundant. 2. Differences between the Manual Shooter and DCT Hunter: The DCT Hunter comes with additional features such as driving mode selection (sport, economy, and comfort modes), auto hold, electric sunroof, keyless entry, GPS navigation, voice recognition (for multimedia, navigation, and phone control), and car networking. In terms of convenience, the automatic transmission model performs better. If you have decent driving skills, the Manual Shooter is sufficient for family use. As an entry-level model, it mainly exists to lower the price, and pre-ordering is required for purchase.
I recently researched the Geely Binyue series, and the 2023 Binyue PRO comes with a full range of four-cylinder versions, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering around 177 horsepower. It drives quite smoothly, without the slight vibrations typical of older three-cylinder engines. The new-generation engine also optimizes fuel efficiency, with a combined fuel consumption of around 7 liters, making it suitable for young drivers who enjoy handling. I compared it with competitors in the same segment, like the Changan CS35PLUS Blue Whale Edition, which also has a four-cylinder engine, but the Binyue has a more dynamic design and richer features, with a price just over 100,000 yuan, making it a great value. During a test drive, don’t just focus on the specs—experience the engine’s stability during startup and acceleration, and double-check the official configuration sheet for model details. Nowadays, most new cars are shifting to four-cylinder engines, with updated technology ensuring reliability. If your budget allows, this PRO version is a safe choice. After all, young car owners value a balanced performance—don’t buy the wrong version and compromise driving enjoyment.
As a long-time SUV owner, I can share that the four-cylinder version of the Bin Yue is the newly launched PRO model, equipped with a 1.5T engine. Last year at the 4S dealership, I test-drove several models. The older Bin Yue with a three-cylinder engine felt a bit unstable at startup, especially during cold winter mornings with slight vibrations, but the new PRO model completely eliminates this issue with much smoother power delivery. In terms of daily driving experience, the fuel consumption is also quite good, averaging 6 to 7 liters in stop-and-go city traffic, and even more economical on highways. From my observations on maintenance costs, three-cylinder engines tend to have minor issues requiring frequent repairs, while four-cylinder parts are more durable and less prone to failure. I recommend test-driving to compare noise levels and acceleration response before making a purchase decision—don’t be misled into buying a cheaper three-cylinder model. In the same price range, the Roewe RX3 also offers a four-cylinder version, but the Bin Yue provides better handling and more comfortable space, making it ideal for families or commuters. Always double-check the model year and specifications to avoid regretting buying an outdated version.
