Chapter 151 Binyue ([-])

Chapter 149: Binyue ([-])

The price of Geely Binyue is low, but the configuration is not low.

Starry sky panoramic sunroof, BSD blind spot monitoring system, 360-degree mega-high-definition panoramic image system, sports red brake calipers, 7-inch colorful full LCD instrument, potential energy electronic gear lever, fully automatic constant temperature air conditioner and so on.

The configuration sounds tall, and the functions are indeed powerful. The 10.25-inch high-definition touch floating large screen is no different from that of Audi. Seat heating, active and passive safety configurations are only available on higher-level models, and they are all practical functions. , It's not a fancy product.

"The configuration is so high?" Since the Geely Binyue was only launched at the end of 2018, it took a little over a year. For some reason, there are very few Tianhong second-hand car markets, so everyone is not very familiar with it, and they are all surprised These configurations actually appeared on a small SUV of about [-] yuan.

The employees of the Zhenghong car dealer who were present could understand what Fang Yuan wanted to express, but Wang Zhi, Zhou Bing and his son were a little puzzled. They stared at Fang Yuan with confused eyes, and they really didn't understand.

为了给王志三人解释，同时也为了让刘亮心里有底，方远干脆拿厂商指导价12.78万的本田缤智最低配缤智 2019款1.5L手动舒适型，和厂商指导价10.98万的吉利缤越2019款260T DCT游侠来做对比。

"These configurations of Geely Binyue are not standard for all series. The lowest configuration of manual transmission has some functions, but the lowest configuration only sells for more than 7 yuan. With such a low price, it can be said that the configuration is quite conscientious."

Fang Yuan first compared the basic parameters of the two cars.

本田缤智2019款1.5L手动舒适型的长4328毫米，宽1772毫米，高1605毫米，轴距2610毫米。

In terms of size, apart from the wheelbase being ten millimeters longer than the Geely Binyue, the Geely Binyue is only ten millimeters longer than the Honda Binyue in terms of length, width and height.

It can be said that the size of the two small SUVs with 5 doors and 5 seats is almost the same, and there is no slight difference. The difference lies in the large space of the Honda Binzhi, and the more sporty appearance of the Geely Binyue, as well as the engine and gearbox. There are also big differences in terms of configuration and configuration.

Let me talk about the configuration first.

Both are front-wheel drive, and the suspension category is the same, both are McPherson independent suspension at the front and torsion beam at the rear.

This version of Geely Binyue has rear parking radar, steep slope descent, electric sunroof, roof rack, keyless start system, keyless entry function, full LCD instrument panel, leather steering wheel, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, remote Start, heated front seats, turn assist lights, heated rearview mirrors, electric folding rearview mirrors, Internet of Vehicles, GPS navigation system, roadside assistance calls.

And these, the Honda Binzhi with the lowest configuration does not have any of them.

What's more, the size of the central control LCD screen of Honda Binzhi is 8 inches, the air conditioner is manual, and only the main driver's seat has a one-button up and down window.

Geely Binyue is equipped with a 10.25-inch central control LCD screen. The style is the same as that of Audi. They are all suspended, revealing a high-end feeling. It also has automatic air conditioning, and the windows of the whole car can be raised and lowered with one button.

In short, in terms of configuration, Geely Binyue completely crushes the lowest-equipped Honda Binzhi.

"So strong?" By comparison, the three of Zhou Bing couldn't believe that domestically-produced cars surpassed joint-venture brands in terms of configuration.

"Well, the development of domestic cars in recent years has been really good. They have high configuration, high cost performance, and good-looking interiors. They have already squeezed out a lot of market share of Korean cars." No surprises.

Fang Yuan smiled: "Just talking about the shortcomings, Honda cars have always had poor sound insulation, low configuration, and loose chassis. In terms of configuration, they cannot compare with domestic cars."

"Oh, I understand." After Fang Yuan's comparison, Liu Liang felt suddenly enlightened, and asked anxiously, "Didn't you just mention the engine and gearbox? What's the difference between the two?"

"The biggest difference is the engine." Fang Yuan asked Liu Liang suddenly, "Do you remember what factory Honda is called?"

Liu Liang thought for a while, and quickly replied: "People jokingly call Honda an engine factory, and they all say that they buy the engine and give it to the car."

"Yes." Fang Yuan said that this version of Tian Binzhi is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 131. The power is not that strong, but the quality is stable. Except for engine vibration, there are no major problems, but minor problems There are very few, and it is very worry-free to drive.

Geely Binyue is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 177. The biggest problem is the vibration of the three-cylinder engine at low speed, idle speed, and rapid acceleration. It is not obvious, as the age of the car increases, the aging of the sound insulation cotton becomes more and more serious.

"Since the three-cylinder engine is vibrating, why do the OEMs still use it?" Liu Liang heard Fang Yuan talk about the problem of the three-cylinder engine more than once, and was curious about what the OEMs thought.

"Save money." Fang Yuan said, in fact, three-cylinder engines are nothing new. As early as the 50s, Alfa Romeo, Subaru, and Saab abroad had already used three-cylinder engines. Tianjin Daihatsu also uses a three-cylinder engine.

At that time, the three-cylinder engine was shaking frantically, and the heads of the shaking car owners were buzzing, but they didn't know that it was a problem with the birth of the three-cylinder engine, and even thought it was an engine failure.

Complaint after complaint, snowflake-like protests appeared, OEMs couldn't hold it anymore, and simply abandoned the three-cylinder engine, focusing on the development of a four-cylinder engine with better power output and quieter.

Who knows that the world is impermanent. Later, in order to save energy and reduce emissions, various countries began to require car companies to reduce the fuel consumption of cars.

Under the dual pressure of the market and the governments of various countries, various OEMs have to start to pay attention to this matter.

To reduce the average fuel consumption, there are three main ways, that is to build electric vehicles, reduce the weight of vehicles, or reduce the amount of fuel burned at a time.

However, these three types require huge investment in research and development, changing the body structure, modifying the engine, and even rebuilding the production line.

The cost of astronomical figures is something that various OEMs are unwilling to do. Some clever minds have an idea and think of the three-cylinder engine with low fuel consumption again.

The shortcomings of 3-cylinder cars are definitely known to all OEMs, and they are clearer than consumers, but they still choose to promote 3-cylinder cars on a large scale, mainly because for car companies, it is a decision to kill three birds with one stone.

The use of three-cylinder engines has mature technology and does not require too much energy and funds for research and development.

The three-cylinder engine can not only reduce fuel consumption, because one less cylinder saves a whole set of cylinder liners, pistons, connecting rods, spark plugs, valves, etc., and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the 3-cylinder engine not only meets the needs of car companies to reduce average consumption, but also controls the R&D cycle and R&D costs, and even reduces manufacturing costs.

The good thing of killing three birds with one stone only needs to pay a little bit of decline in consumer satisfaction, and fools are not willing to do it, so BMW, GM, Honda, and some domestic car companies in China rushed to launch three-cylinder engine models one after another. .

It is estimated that if we go on like this, we will not think about whether the three-cylinder engine will shake or not, but will think about when the two-cylinder engine will appear on the car, or when a single-cylinder like a tractor will appear on the car.
