Overview

The first generation Binyue was named "SX11" under development and was revealed in August 2018 as the Binyue. The Geely Binyue was positioned between the Geely Emgrand GS and the Geely Boyue within Geely's crossover portfolio,[4] and is the first crossover based on the BMA platform. The Binyue 260T Sport Versions carry two unique "Geely Sport" logos, which are different from the former "Earth" Logo.

The initial engine options available for the Binyue are a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine with 136 hp (101 kW; 138 PS) and a 1.5-litre turbo inline-three engine with 177 hp (132 kW; 179 PS).[4]

The powertrain is a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine developing a maximum output of 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 290 N⋅m (214 lb⋅ft; 29.6 kg⋅m) mated to a 7-speed wet style dual-clutch transmission.[7]

The Binyue Cool is equipped with Geely’s Jinqing 1.5-litre inline-4 TD high-pressure direct injection engine with a maximum power of 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and a maximum torque of 290 N⋅m (214 lb⋅ft; 29.6 kg⋅m).
