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.

When taking my kids and family out, I always need a smooth car. The 2023 PRO version of the Bin Yue is a representative of four-cylinder engines, with a 1.5T powertrain combination. When driving to pick up and drop off kids at school, there is absolutely no vibration, and the safety factor is much higher—unlike the base model which might disturb an infant's sleep with vibrations. In practical use, fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging around 7 liters, and maintenance is simple and hassle-free. Based on car-buying experience, opting for the higher-end series is more reliable; don’t be tempted by cheaper early models. The Honda Vezel’s four-cylinder engine is also quite stable, but domestic cars offer more attractive cost-performance, saving money while upgrading comfort features.

The evolution of the Geely Binyue is quite interesting. The three-cylinder engines released a few years ago received numerous user complaints. Now, new models like the 2023 Binyue COOL and PRO have switched to a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering nearly 180 horsepower, which is very practical. Market trends indicate that small SUVs shifting to four-cylinder engines is an inevitable trend, addressing issues like vibration and noise while boosting sales. I've analyzed similar models in the same segment, such as the Chery Tiggo 5x or Jetour X70, which also offer comparable configurations, but the Binyue stands out with its more youthful design. I recommend visiting a 4S dealership to test-drive the actual vehicle, paying special attention to the engine's performance in low-speed urban conditions. For budget-friendly cars, engine reliability is key, and this version offers significantly better value for money.

With over 40 years of driving experience at my age, I firmly believe in the reliability of traditional four-cylinder engines. The new PRO version of the Binyue comes with a four-cylinder 1.5T configuration, offering stable performance and smooth acceleration. It avoids the drawbacks of three-cylinder engines, such as slight engine vibrations and discomfort over long distances. Daily fuel consumption is reasonable, around 7 liters, and maintenance is straightforward with easily available parts. I recommend opting for the 2023 PRO model when choosing a car and double-checking the specifications to avoid mistakes. German cars like the Volkswagen T-Cross with a four-cylinder engine are also good, but domestic models offer more favorable prices. Engine reliability is key, and experience shows that four-cylinder cars retain their value better and provide peace of mind.

What Causes Automatic Parking System Failure?

Automatic parking system failure can be caused by the following reasons: Lever cannot be fixed: The parking brake lever cannot be fixed; the lever needs to be replaced or reinstalled. Brake failure: The parking brake fails; it is necessary to inspect and replace parts such as brake pads. If the parking brake makes abnormal noises or is aged, lubricant should be added or the brake should be replaced. Excessive gap: If the friction pads of the automatic parking system have too large a gap with the brake drum, or if there is oil contamination, severe wear, exposed rivets, or surface hardening causing slippage, the brake pads and brake disc should be replaced.

Should You Shift to Neutral When Parking an Automatic Car?

If you are waiting at a red light or only stopping for a couple of minutes, you can shift to neutral, but you must keep your foot on the brake, and it's best to engage the handbrake. If you are parking the car and leaving it unattended for an extended period, it is not recommended to leave it in neutral; instead, shift to P (Park). Parking Steps: The correct parking procedure is as follows: First, press the brake pedal, shift from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), then engage the mechanical handbrake or electronic parking brake. This step ensures that all the force is absorbed by the handbrake. Next, shift from N to P (Park), and then turn off the engine. This is the proper parking procedure. Parking on a Slope: When parking on a slope, it is even more important to follow the above steps. If you shift directly from D to P while parking on a slope, it can cause significant damage to the transmission because the locking mechanism of the transmission will bear excessive force.

Can you overtake by borrowing the lane with a yellow dashed line?

The yellow dashed line in the center of the road indicates that it is possible to cross the line for overtaking if safety is ensured. When overtaking, pay attention to the following: Reduce speed and honk: When passing a parked vehicle, you should slow down and honk (in areas where honking is not prohibited), observe carefully, stay alert, maintain a large lateral distance, and be prepared to brake at any time to prevent the vehicle from suddenly starting and entering the traffic lane, causing a collision, or the driver suddenly opening the door and getting out. Especially when overtaking a bus parked at a station, be extra cautious of pedestrians suddenly crossing the road from behind the parked vehicle. Situations where emergency braking is not needed: If you find obstacles on the left side of the road or the lateral distance is too small, making a side collision possible, try to avoid emergency braking to prevent side-slip collisions due to road camber. Instead, hold the steering wheel steady without turning it left or right, increase the distance appropriately in the shortest time, and then look for another opportunity to overtake. Never take the risk of forcing an overtake.

How to Release the Electronic Parking Brake?

Release method for the electronic parking brake: Simply press the electronic parking brake button. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both control parking braking via the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. Advantages of the electronic parking brake include: 1. The elimination of the parking brake lever inside the cabin provides more design flexibility for the vehicle's interior styling; 2. Replacing the brake lever with a single button makes parking braking simpler and more effortless; 3. In addition to basic functions like static parking, static release, and automatic release, it also offers auxiliary functions such as auto hold and dynamic parking.

What does 'rest' mean in a car?

Car's 'rest' refers to the residual heat utilization mode. The residual heat utilization mode is a function that uses the residual heat from the engine to continue providing warm air inside the car for up to half an hour after the engine is turned off, before automatically shutting down. The REST function is suitable for maintaining the interior temperature during short winter stops when the engine is turned off, preventing a rapid drop in temperature. When restarting the vehicle, there's no need to turn on the air conditioning system to reheat the interior temperature. To activate this function, simply press the REST residual heat control button on the center console after turning off the vehicle. Do not immediately turn on the warm air when starting a cold engine. Since the engine has just started, the radiator temperature is very low in winter, and turning on the air conditioning will not quickly raise the car's temperature but will instead increase the engine's burden and delay the normal rise in engine temperature.

What does 10W-40 engine oil mean?

Engine oil 10W40 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil being 10W40. The number before the 'W' represents the cold start performance; the smaller the number, the easier it is to start the engine in cold weather. Common grades include 0W, 5W, 10W, and 15W. Below are the methods for selecting engine oil and an introduction to oil grades: Methods for selecting engine oil: When choosing engine oil, it's not about selecting the most expensive one but rather about choosing the right oil based on the characteristics of your car's engine and your usual driving habits. You can categorize your choice by the oil used in winter and the oil used in summer. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade. In summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to select an oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade. Engine oil grades: Engine oil grades are classified by quality and viscosity. Oils for gasoline engines are usually denoted by the letter 'S,' while oils for diesel engines are typically marked with the letter 'C.'
