They had started with 4 cylinders just like Geely Binyue, before changing to 3 cylinders to meet the EU emission standard.

x70 were also started with 4 cylinders in Malaysia before changing to 3, now change back to 4.

So, cost of mold, piston, etc are not the main factor.

Since Malaysia emission standard is not as strict, we can stay with 4.

They already go to the cost savings road for the 3 cylinder engine previously. Why they move back to 4 as a lot of people complain and sales is poor on those models ( Geely Binyue/Coolray) in China. A lot of tiktok/Douyin video used car seller keep saying the model 2nd value is low due to the 3 cylinder and a lot of people ditch it very early due to the poor NVH and quality. They switch to 4 cylinder in China year 2022.

Moving from 4NA to 3T is more expansive.

Bro, the 4 cylinder engine is also turbo, which is the same as the latest in X50 facelift.
China already getting it earlier 3 years ago while we still stuck with the obsolete engine.
