concern
No matter how advanced your technology is, how much power parameters are comparable to four-cylinder engines, how well vibration suppression and NVH are done, sorry, many consumers just can't accept the three-cylinder engine. How many hot-selling cars, because of the replacement of three-cylinder engines, suffered a big loss in the terminal market?
The earliest should be Buick Yinglang, the later Cruze, Veyron Pro and nissan New Qijun listed last year, etc., and later either replaced the four-cylinder machine or pushed the four-cylinder classic model, so that the sales looked a little better. In particular, the gap between the front and back of Nissan X-Trail makes people realize that the three-cylinder machine is not popular. No, after X-Trail, many three-cylinder engine models had to compromise with the market and replace them with four-cylinder engines.
Chevrolet Creates Cool RS
Replace with 1.5T four-cylinder power
Previously, Chevrolet Chuangku equipped with 1.0T and 1.3T engines are three-cylinder, this time Chevrolet Chuangku RS has made a big change, the whole series is equipped with GM's eighth-generation Ecotec new 1.5T four-cylinder direct injection turbo engine, the maximum power rating of 135kW, the book data has surpassed the 1.5T engine (maximum power 124kW) on the Maribor XL.

The new generation of Chuangku RS is expected to be listed within this month, the price of Chuangku is very sincere, after the replacement of the four-cylinder machine, if you can still give some strength in the price, coupled with the sporty design and atmosphere, I believe that you can compete with the same level of opponents again.
Ford Focus
Replace with 1.5T four-cylinder power
The declaration drawing of the four-cylinder Fox has appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, indicating that it is a nail in the coffin to replace the four-cylinder machine.
As a mid-term makeover, the most important change to the new Focus was the replacement of a 4-cylinder 1.5T engine, code-named CAF479WQ6. Ford owners should be familiar with it, and the engine is also the same as the Mondeo and The Wing Tiger, which, according to the data, has a maximum power of 130 kW (177 hp).
In addition to the "great change" in power, the new Focus also has two changes, such as the front face using a penetrating front surround, replaced with a new style of headlights and front grille, the design style and overseas models are basically consistent, more sporty; for example, there are slight adjustments in size, but still provide sedan and hatchback models, the wheelbase is still 2705mm, and the change in the riding space will not be too big.
Lynk & Co 06
Replace with 1.5T four-cylinder power
Lynk & Co 06 is a small SUV built by Lynk & Co based on the BMA architecture, which was born with Geely's 1.5T three-cylinder engine, resulting in its performance in the terminal market has not been very good. In the Announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's 355 batches of new cars, the four-cylinder machine appeared in the declaration materials of the Lynk & Co 06 new car.
The engine, code-named BHE15-EFZ, is the geely Raytheon power that has recently appeared on the Geely Bingrui COOL, the BHE15 series is a pure fuel 4-cylinder 1.5T turbocharged engine, equipped with 350Bar common rail direct injection, small inertia exhaust gas turbocharger, electronically controlled turbo pressure relief valve and many other advanced technologies, the maximum power of 181 horsepower, the maximum torque of 290 Nm. According to Geely Binrui COOL, the response time of this engine should be 0.2 seconds, and the turbine intervention speed is relatively fast.
In terms of transmission, the new Lynk & Co 06 may also be equipped with a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission. Binrui COOL, which is equipped with a 1.5TD+7DCT powertrain, has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km and an acceleration time of 7.7s from 0-100km/h under the WLC test standard.
Geely New Binyue /ICON
Replace with 1.5T four-cylinder power
Geely has a "three-cylinder group" - Binyue, Binrui and ICON, four-cylinder Binrui has been listed, Binyue and ICON will also be equipped with four-cylinder engines.
Binyue was launched at the end of October 2018 with a 1.0T/1.5T three-cylinder engine, a 1.4T four-cylinder engine was added when it was remodeled in 2020, and only the 1.5T three-cylinder and 1.4T four-cylinder engines were retained after the 2021 redesign. It can be seen that the three-cylinder machine is being abandoned step by step. In 2022, the latest batch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology declaration directory appeared with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine.
Icon has been equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine since its launch in early 2020, and it has also been replaced by a 1.5T four-cylinder in the latest batch of MIIT declarations!
The sales of the current Binyue are quite good in the small SUV, because it has both a three-cylinder engine and a four-cylinder engine model, and after abandoning the three-cylinder engine this time, coupled with a more aggressive design, there is no longer any worries in the terminal market. Moreover, geely may have recognized the seriousness of the problem for the congenital defects and unpopularity of the three-cylinder engine, so it will mainly promote this new 1.5T four-cylinder engine this year.
