Recently, Geely Binrui's new model 2022 Binrui COOL officially opened pre-sale, with a pre-price of 9.58-11.08 million yuan, which is basically consistent with the price of 2021 Binrui. It can be seen that the new car has stronger sports attributes than the current model, as a compact family car, is Binrui COOL worth our hands on? Today we will read it in advance.
In terms of appearance, the Binrui COOL grille still adopts the shield design of the brand LOGO shape, but the size is smaller than the previous model. The lower air intakes are designed through and enlarged in size, and the sides are embellished with lines different from the body color, and the entire front face is more athletic than the previous generation. The sides are in a slipback shape with blackened wheels and brake calipers. The rear of the car has added independent tail wings, and is equipped with a total of two exhausts on both sides, and the appearance of the whole vehicle looks more sporty.
In terms of interior, the interior of the new car has changed significantly compared with the previous generation of models, and the central control adopts a dual screen layout, a 10.25-inch full LCD dashboard and a 12.3-inch multimedia large screen are connected together, while matching a new electronic shift. In addition, the interior color scheme of the new car is also more abundant, providing three color combinations of storm gray, fierce green and phantom orange. The same as the appearance, the overall style is also based on youth, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people.
In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with 17-inch wheels, reversing image, fixed speed endurance, automatic parking, electric sunroof, keyless entry, LED automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning and other configurations, while the medium and high-end models will also be equipped with three-finger flying screen, 540-degree panoramic image system, full-speed adaptive cruise, sports appearance suite, seat heating, automatic folding of rearview mirrors, 72-color atmosphere lights, on-board air purifiers, negative ion generators, active braking, lane keeping, lane departure warning and other functional configurations. The whole vehicle is more abundant in terms of configuration, and there are more auxiliary functions.
In terms of space, the new car length, width and height are 4710 * 1795 * 1455mm, the wheelbase is 2670mm, the body length is slightly increased compared with the previous generation model, but the wheelbase has not changed, and the riding space is comparable to that of the previous generation model. The height of 178cm sits in the front row of the previous generation of Binrui, adjusts the driving position, leaves a three-finger distance between the head, and goes to the back row, there are still two fingers left in the head space, and there are more than two fists in the leg space. The space can only be said to be enough, especially the rear head space, which is affected by the body design, and the head space is not rich. Whether the new car can be optimized in terms of head space is still unknown, and many friends with purchase intentions have raised the same questions.
In terms of power, the new car will adopt a new powertrain, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum output of 181 Ps and a maximum torque of 290 N·m. In terms of transmission system, the new car is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the maximum speed of the new car can reach 210km/h, the speed of 100 km is 7.1s, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.9L. The power output of the new car has been significantly improved compared to the previous generation. However, the trade-off between the smoothness and shift speed of the dual-clutch transmission of the new car remains to be measured later.
summary:
Whether static or dynamic, new cars are further moving closer to younger consumers. The exterior and interior design of Binrui COOL has become a little younger, and a new powertrain has been replaced. Then, compared with competitors such as Shadow Leopard and MG6, if this car only relies on its appearance to attract consumers, it will basically not have much improvement in sales. Therefore, the next handling test and riding experience become the key, let's look forward to the actual performance of the new car.
