Which Geely model uses a Volvo engine?

The Geely model that uses a Volvo engine is the Binyue. The Binyue is the first SUV model under Geely's new BMA modular architecture. Positioned as a compact SUV, its overall body dimensions are not particularly outstanding, and its side profile is relatively simple, giving an overall youthful and dynamic impression. The Geely Binyue is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 177 horsepower and a peak torque of 255 Nm, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Thanks to excellent tuning, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds. The Volvo engine requires regular cleaning of the crankcase. During operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear, forming sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and leading to wear. The Volvo engine requires regular oil and filter changes. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil deteriorates over time with use. After a certain mileage, its performance declines, causing various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, ensuring the oil level is appropriate.
I just changed my car after a long consideration and finally settled on the Geely Xingrui because it uses the Volvo engine, the Drive-E series. Last year, I drove my friend's car, and the power was really smooth, quick to start and not fuel-consuming. As I understand, after Geely and Volvo collaborated, many cars use this engine, like the Xingyue L, which is also the same model, quite suitable for urban commuting. Regular maintenance isn't too expensive either; I calculated saving two to three thousand yuan on fuel a year. If you're considering cost-effectiveness, this car is worth looking at—the engine is stable, durable, and has low noise.
