The sports kit is introduced into the Galaxy OS car system to beat Geely Binyue COOL first.

Previously, in response to the market trend, Geely Automobile launched Binrui COOL, with the intention of opening up the situation in the compact sports car market and seizing the market. Perhaps we have forgotten that Binyue, another model of Geely’s Binyue family, has long enjoyed the name of sports in SUV products. This time, Geely Automobile brought Binyue COOL. Let’s take a close look at how Geely built this more sporty Binyue COOL.

First of all, from the appearance point of view, Binyue COOL is different from the car body color, which is not only reflected in the difference of Binyue, but also a brand-new attempt that is almost "deviant". Geely Automobile has introduced a color-changing car color for Binyue COOL, which looks like electroplating and has a stronger light and shadow effect. In the simplest words, it is "dazzling", which is "dazzling" than big flowers. In terms of technical terms, Binyue COOL’s chameleon gradient body has four layers of energy-saving and environment-friendly coating, which is very Cyberpunk-like and achieves the effect of changing color with visual angle.

In the front of the car, the shape of Binyue COOL is also changed compared with Binyue. It adopts Geely’s latest energy storm design style, adopts "X" large-size air intake grille, and is painted in black, and adds a circle of red decorative strips on the inner side of the lower edge of the light group, which not only increases the visual level, but also highlights the sports atmosphere.

Binyue COOL’s lamp group modeling also incorporates Geely’s latest family-style design. Three-segment pulsed LED daytime running lights enhance the recognition of the whole front of the car. Such designs have appeared in Xingrui, Xingyue L, Binrui COOL and other models.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the shape of the decorative plates on both sides of the front air intake grille, using large-size decorative plates with matt gray, and it is precisely because of this decorative plate that the "X" grille style of the front of the car can be highlighted. In addition, the red trim on the front lip further enriches the visual color of the front.

Coming to the side of the car body, Binyue COOL is still a quite compact sports style SUV, but it is more radical and fierce than Binyue. This is mainly reflected by "black ears", "suspended blade tail", "black side skirt" and red brake calipers. It is precisely because of these small details with stronger sports atmosphere and the exclusive car paint of Binyue COOL that Binyue COOL can be more cool visually.

With a length, width and height of 4380/1800/1609mm and a wheelbase of 2600mm, Binyue COOL is still positioned in a small SUV. The compact body brings better handling to Binyue COOL. Or, we can think that as a sports SUV, Binyue COOL is more playable.

Through taillights+tall tails make the rear of Binyue COOL more atmospheric. In addition, we should pay attention to that the taillight strip of Binyue COOL has the style of "energy crystal", which also incorporates some design elements of the front pulse light strip and looks more exquisite.

Binyue COOL also adopts a bilateral four-outlet exhaust model, coupled with a sharp diffuser model, which makes the sense of movement at the rear of the car go up a storey still higher. The diffuser at the rear of the car also added red decorative strips to match red and black to the end.

Finally, we would like to mention that a logo printed with "Raytheon Power" is designed separately in the nameplate on the right side of Binyue COOL, which is also a family-style accessory for the products of a new generation of Geely Automobile. Its exquisiteness is stronger than the chrome-plated metal LOGO of ordinary models.

When we arrive in the car, we will find that the overall layout style of Binyue COOL is quite different from that of Binyue. Binyue COOL has adopted an integrated screen layout and integrated the Galaxy OS intelligent car system that Geely is proud of.

In addition, the interior layout of Binyue COOL is mainly reflected in the increase of color richness, and color trims have been added in many places. What we shot was black+red, and there was also a color scheme of white+black+yellow.

Not only that, the storage space in the car of Binyue COOL is also relatively rich and regular, and the storage space in the central passage is rich, with dual mobile phone space, multiple cup holders and sunken storage compartments.

With the introduction of Geely Galaxy OS car system, the intelligent level of Binyue COOL has been improved. This is mainly reflected in the clear internal operation flow, simple operation, complete functions and super low difficulty in getting started. However, some operating logics in this car system are different from those of general models, and need to be adapted a little. (For example, the screen cutting of most models is horizontal sliding, while the Galaxy OS car needs vertical sliding.)

The front and rear rows all use seats with double colors, and different fabrics are also used. The fillers are substantial and the hardness is moderate. In terms of space, although the size of Binyue COOL is not large, the actual front and rear rows of space can basically meet the use. However, if there are often many people traveling in the scene, the back row space of Binyue COOL is not ideal.

However, Binyue COOL has no reservations about the rear row, and has also designed three independent headrests, as well as the rear air outlet, storage compartment, USB interface, central armrest, etc., which should be configured as many as possible.

In terms of power, Binyue COOL, like Binrui COOL, is equipped with a 1.5TD four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. In the suspension part, Binyue COOL adopts the combination of front McPherson and rear torsion beam suspension.

Editor’s comment:

In fact, we will not be too surprised by the appearance of Binyue COOL, because Binrui COOL has already been launched. We can regard Binyue COOL as an upgraded model of Binyue, but we can also directly regard it as a brand-new model. Because compared with Binyue, Binyue COOL has a more radical shape, and is equipped with the latest 1.5TD four-cylinder engine, and the intelligent configuration in the car has also greatly evolved. It is expected that Binyue COOL will be officially launched in August, which is expected to be slightly higher than the price of Binyue models on sale. (Text/Figure Car Vision Technology Li Liang)
