The Geely Binyue L is a "hot hatch" SUV branded as a "
New Car," representing Geely's latest offering of a 1.5T high-power engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission within the 80,000 yuan price range. Its compact dimensions of 4380×1800×1609 mm, coupled with a 2600 mm wheelbase, and a front fascia that abandons the X-shaped grille in favor of a flat black grille connected to uniquely shaped LED headlights, give it a more dynamic look than the older used Binyue and a more agile feel than boxy
Commercial Vehicles. It can easily make a U-turn in underground parking garages.
The interior features a striking black and gray color scheme with brushed metal accents, creating a sporty atmosphere: a 14.6-inch 4K floating screen and the Flyme Auto cockpit system support one-voice gestures and a 540° transparent chassis view, allowing for easy one-line control of navigation, sunroof, and air conditioning; heated power front seats, adjustable rear backrests that fold down in a 40/60 split, and a spacious trunk with a 1.8m depth when folded down, allowing for the flat placement of skis and carry-on suitcases. The space is more organized than other new energy SUVs in the same price range, and the battery doesn't encroach on the floor.
The 1.5T four-cylinder direct-injection engine delivers 133 kW/290 N·m, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, achieving 0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, giving it a commanding presence at green lights; WLTC fuel consumption is 6.35 L/100 km, requiring only 92-octane gasoline; highway cruising maintains lower revs than the older turbocharged model, resulting in a quiet cabin that might make the passenger wonder if they've mistakenly boarded an electric vehicle. The front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension are tuned for a firmer ride, quickly recovering from speed bumps. On mountain roads, the car maintains a tight, responsive feel during cornering, offering a more mechanical thrill than pure electric
new energy vehicles and a more exhilarating push-back experience than traditional naturally aspirated engines.
The annual maintenance cost is approximately 12,000 yuan, less hassle than an older turbocharged
Used Car and half the cost of similarly sized new energy vehicles. For those seeking a daily driver that doesn't require charging, delivers exhilarating acceleration, and boasts superior features, this car subtly delivers on its promise as "a young person's first performance SUV" using the simple logic of gasoline cars.
