2 Answers
Geely models equipped with three-cylinder engines include Bin Yue, Emgrand GS, Emgrand GL, Xing Yue, Jia Ji, Bin Rui, and Vision X1. These vehicles utilize three-cylinder engines independently developed and manufactured by Geely. Taking the Bin Yue 2020 240T manual variant as an example, this is a compact SUV launched by Geely with dimensions of 4330mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1609mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2600mm. The Bin Yue is powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141ps (104kw) and peak torque of 235nm. It adopts front-wheel drive configuration with MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension.
Geely's three-cylinder models mainly include the Bin Yue SUV, ICON compact SUV, Bin Rui sedan, and Jia Ji MPV. As a car enthusiast, I know these models quite well: the Bin Yue's powertrain uses a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, which is quite fuel-efficient in city driving, with an average fuel consumption of about 6.5L/100km, saving me a lot on fuel costs; the ICON has a very stylish design, and paired with the three-cylinder engine, it looks quite cool for young drivers; the Bin Rui is an economical sedan with affordable pricing and low maintenance costs, suitable for the average office worker; the Jia Ji, as a family car, offers spacious interiors, and the three-cylinder version has high fuel efficiency on long trips. I've driven a friend's ICON and felt a slight vibration at startup, but it smoothed out during acceleration—overall, Geely has done a good job improving in this aspect. If you're considering buying one, my advice is to test drive at a 4S store to personally experience whether the vibration and noise affect comfort, while also paying attention to subsequent maintenance to prevent aging issues.
