Introduction: It is said that this year is the outbreak of sports models, whether it is independent or imported, they seem to have invariably played with performance cars, and many performance cars have chosen to meet with everyone this year, such as Changan UNI-V, Honda TPYE-R and so on. However, for most users, the imported performance car is too high to reach due to the high price, resulting in their inability to reach.
At this time, domestic sports cars just make up for this gap, such as the high popular GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, Changan UNI-V, MG5 Scorpio and MG6 PRO. Recently, another domestic brand, Geely, has also launched a compact sports car - Geely Binrui COOL (hereinafter referred to as "Binrui COOL").
In fact, it is not difficult to find that Binrui COOL is a car built based on Binrui, and "COOL" is transliterated as "cool". Literally, Binrui COOL should be a younger car based on Binrui.
It is also true that from the picture, the whole car uses a large number of black exterior parts, including front net, wheel hub, rearview mirrors, rear wing and lower surround and so on.
So in addition to the appearance of Binrui COOL looks more sporty, are there any other highlights?
It is equipped with Geely's new 1.5T in-line four-cylinder engine
Binrui COOL is equipped with the latest 1.5T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine of the Geely brand, and after inquiry, it was found that the first model equipped with this engine is Binrui COOL. Like some other models with 1.5T engines, they use inline three cylinders, such as Lynk & Co 02, Hoshikoshi and Binyue.
The maximum horsepower of this engine is about 180Ps, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the official claim is 7.1S for 100 kilometers, and it is interesting that the official also added a sentence below the results of "fierce car does not play virtual", as if to imply a brand model, friends who know can tell everyone in the comment area.
The 7.1-second acceleration is remarkable for a car with only a 1.5T engine. If you get the car after the actual test is also this result, then this is really a very powerful car, Oh, the premise is "the same level, the same price".
Of course, I also noticed the comment after the "*" number under the poster, which is a bit interesting in "specific environments", which needs to be noted. If you have the opportunity, you still hope to actually test it to see how big the gap is with the manufacturer's 7.1 seconds to break the hundred time.
The track lap is on par with Mazda Artez
Today, I saw Geely officially announce the car about Binrui COOL, which ran a result of 2:01.763 at zhejiang international circuit. For zhejiang international circuit people who play with cars may not be strangers, the track is built on the mountain, a total length of 3.2 kilometers, a total of 16 corners, up and down the gap is large, whether it is for the driver or for the vehicle, the challenge is very difficult.
So what kind of level does this result belong to, by looking at the lap list, it is found that this score is a little better than TPYE-R, of course, this TPYE-R is made in the wetland situation, including the Corvette C7 in the back row is also made in the wetland situation, so the gimmick is greater than the actual.
In addition to these two well-known performance cars, the true level of Binrui COOL is comparable to that of Mazda Artez. Everyone knows that the cars built by Mazda have always been known for their handling, so it is conceivable that the track strength of Binrui COOL is still good.
In addition, the price of the two cars is not at the same level at all, the price of the 2.5-liter Mazda Artez is about 200,000 yuan, and the expected price of Binrui COOL is similar to that of Changan UNI-V and GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, between 90,000 and 140,000. So if you just look at the price, the cost performance of Binrui COOL is still "needle without poking"!
From the perspective of consumers, of course, it is hoped that the more A-class cars like Binrui COOL, the better, on the one hand, there are more models to choose from; on the other hand, as new cars continue to pour in, competition will become more and more fierce, then the price will naturally become lower and lower. But another problem arises, and that is the reliability of the vehicle.
As the horsepower and torque of the engine become more and more large, it is also unknown whether the reliability of the engine and the torque tolerance of the gearbox can withstand the test of a long time. Of course, I know that car companies will definitely do relevant reliability and durability experiments before launching new cars, but the experimental time is not enough, the experimental environment is not in place, and it is necessary to wait for consumers to buy a car, in the real car environment, to answer one by one.
In addition, Binrui COOL is the first car in my impression that among the A-class cars with domestic owners of the same level playing sports, they dare to get off the track before going on the market. I understand that behind this behavior is on the one hand to prove that their car has a relatively strong athletic attributes; on the other hand, it is also to indirectly inform consumers that the car that really advertises sports, the track is its best touchstone.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
Regardless of whether the results are good or bad, I think that the behavior of Shan Chong Jili should be praised a big way, not to mention that the results made are still very good at present. Of course, I hope that Geely officials can publish a circle video, which will be more convincing.
Finally, we look forward to the early listing of Binrui COOL, and also hope that Geely officials can provide us with a Binrui COOL test drive, and then we will also pull it into the track to see what it does on the track of the country of Heaven?
