In fact, many friends like Geely Binyue’s small SUV very much, but at the beginning Binyue used a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. As a result, Binyue’s sales were bleak. With the replacement and consumer demand, Binyue was later equipped with a 1.4T four-cylinder engine, which matched a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, although the sales volume was significantly better than before. But it is still not satisfactory.
Recently, Geely’s brand-new Binyue COOL went on the market, and I personally experienced this car from both static and dynamic aspects. The official guide price of the new Binyue COOL ranges from 99,800 to 119,800, and there are three versions available. Compared with the previous Binyue, the most obvious thing about this car is the change in face value and power system.
The brand-new Geely Binyue COOL uses a 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine, which is matched with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power of the engine is 181 HP and the peak torque is 290 Nm. Compared with the previous mainstream version of Binyue’s 1.4T, from the data point of view, the power must have certain advantages.
In terms of body size, Binyue COOL is also different from Binyue’s car. In contrast, Binyue COOL is 50 mm longer and the wheelbase size is the same. Both Binyue and Binyue COOL are still 2600 mm.
The brand-new Binyue COOL has been replaced with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, which is really something to be happy about, but many friends must know the truth that no one can finish the car completely. From the static experience, I personally found a shortcoming that I personally think. In the trunk. As we all know, in order to achieve better smoothness in the trunk of an automobile, there are trunk liners in the factory. Different models have different sizes of trunk linings because of different trunk spaces. But what many people don’t know is that the thickness of the trunk liner of different models is actually different. As a domestic SUV, Binyue COOL has a thin lining board in the trunk, and if it is turned up manually, it will have obvious arc deformation. It is very thin, and if the trunk pulls some sharp objects in the later period, it will easily lead to the unrecoverable deformation of the trunk liner.
The experience must be a test drive. Personally, during the test drive, Binyue COOL’s dual-clutch gearbox is not as well matched as expected. There are two main states. The first type is intermittent refueling, when the second gear is upgraded to the third gear, there is a very obvious sense of shift delay. But it is not a very abrupt feeling. The second state is the continuous refueling door. When paving the road flat, the oil is continuously supplied at the engine speed of 1,600 to 1,700. You can’t feel the sense of hysteresis when you change from second gear to third gear. You can use my two methods when you test drive, and you will know it after a try.
In terms of gearbox matching, I don’t think there is too obvious difference compared with other domestic models equipped with dual-clutch gearboxes, and the gearbox matching of Bo Yue X car is really poor compared with its own. I am personally very sure of this.
Although I pointed out some shortcomings of Binyue COOL, the availability of Binyue COOL is certain. As a household model for positioning a small SUV, individuals will recommend a mid-range model with a guide price of 109,800 yuan, because on the basis of sufficient practical configuration, there is also assisted driving, which has higher active safety performance. Why not recommend the top model? The budget of 119,800 yuan can actually buy some compact SUVs with good configuration, and there is more room for higher levels, isn’t it?
