3-cyl engines a flop in China, 2022 Binyue switching to 4-cyl  In a rather surprising u-turn, Geely will be dropping the turbocharged 1.5-litre 3-cylinder (JLH-3G15TD) in the Geely Binyue, opting for a 4-cylinder engine instead This marks a departure from their earlier stand, as Geely was one of the few Chinese manufacturers that continued to stick to 3-cylinder engines while other brands dropped theirs. The new engine is also a 1.5-litre unit, and it produces 3 PS more than the 3-pot engine, bringing the total output to 180 PS The main reason why Geely decided to axe the 3-cylinder engine is because of poor response from Chinese buyers, as they typically avoid 3-cylinder cars. Flop4-cyl FTW |

QUOTE(narf03 @ Feb 16 2022, 07:32 AM) not the car is good, but the car is light, when you put more weight to the car, then the engine shaft, block, cylinder etc will have to push harder, more stress. old car will have lesser component, ie maybe no aircon, no power steering, no auto braking, no auto gear, no airbag, no extra steel reinforcement, no power window, no remote control, no fog light, no fuel filter, seat belt auto retractor, no this and that. if you able to cut the weight of the car by half, the engine component will have lesser stress. old car like 130y only electronic is the Radio Cassette Player, simpler days |

QUOTE(MR_alien @ Feb 22 2022, 07:28 AM) i don't think it's about profit already it's malaysia side is always slow in everything i think when a new model is released, our brand here need months to discuss what spec to cut away before releasing it here just look at honda, everything also slow our neighboring countries already driving it for months, thn only release here from the new civic to city hatchback now the new HRV and BRV also...they even covered it up like it's something new  (and that's SUV that u mentioned) high chance the e:HEV model won't even be released here current popular delay reason, mco and covid-19 |
