The Geely Binrui is a 4-door sedan from Geely, built from 2018, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.0 L JLF-3G10TD G-Power 200T (1.0TD) turbocharged.
The story

What is underneath
Power comes from 1.0 L JLF-3G10TD G-Power 200T (1.0TD) turbocharged; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1235 -. It shifts through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed Dual-clutch transmission / dual-clutch / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (8-Speed simulated). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2670 mm.

Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model 3, the Tesla Model Y — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Geely catalogue sit the Geely GE and the Geely Yuanjing X6.
