Binyue COOL uses color-changing car paint. According to the manufacturer, it adopts a brand-new coating process and sprays a total of 4 layers of paint. It uses gray as the background color and a purple-red pearlescent layer, which appears with the changes of light and angle. Produces a gradient visual effect. I believe that this color will definitely attract the attention of many young consumers in the future.
The appearance of Binyue COOL adopts a new design concept of "energy burst", and the shape boldly incorporates the latest elements of cyberpunk and muscular mechas, integrating dynamics and trends, making it more visually impactful. The front face adopts the latest generation family shape, and the exaggerated "X"-shaped overall design is unforgettable. The grille is made of bright black material and embellished with red trim strips, which not only looks exquisite but also gives the vehicle a full combat look.
The headlight shape is based on the family-style three-stage pulse design and two light strips are added. When lit, it further highlights the overall shape of the "X" shaped front.
The overall shape of the side of the car body has not changed much from the current model. The window trim extending to the A-pillar and the triangular window with textured design are the most obvious differences from the current model. Such small changes in details also add to the side of the car. A little more refined and fresh. The two-color body design combined with the tough and dynamic upper waistline creates a dynamic feeling that is ready to go.
The rim size is still 18 inches, but the new tomahawk-shaped rims, set against the red calipers, show a strong sporty atmosphere. The tires installed on the filming car are Atlas, a relatively niche brand in China. The tire model is BATMAN A51 and the specification is 215/55 R18. This tire is specially designed for SUVs, focusing on comfort and handling performance, and also has the popular self-healing function.
Coming to the rear of the car, the iconic double-layer rear wing design of the Binyue model has been readjusted. After the upgrade, the shape is not only three-dimensional and refined, but also more dynamic. The addition of through-type taillights is also a general trend, which is in line with the aesthetics of today's young people. The lower spoiler at the bottom has a carbon fiber texture and red embellishments that are very eye-catching. The four exhausts on the left and right are also genuine, emphasizing the sportiness of the car everywhere.property.

The materials used are also unambiguous, including a large number of soft materials and leather, with black and white color matching, which is quite fashionable.
The central tunnel under the center console has been redesigned and optimized to make it more concise and reasonable in layout. The suspended central control bridge not only looks more advanced, but also actually adds considerable storage space to the car.
The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel has an exquisite shape and a thick handle, giving it a very good grip. It is worth mentioning that the leather covering the steering wheel uses an antibacterial formula, which can effectively inactivate or inhibit the growth, reproduction and activity of bacteria and achieve self-cleaning.
The 10.25-inch LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch central control touch screen form an integrated floating dual screen, which can realize functions such as dual-screen interaction and three-finger flying screen, emphasizing the atmosphere of the technological cockpit. At the same time, the central control screen faces the driver. The side tilt makes it easier to operate more efficiently. It is both beautiful and practical. I believe many consumers will like this.
The vehicle system is still the Geely Galaxy OS system. The system’s flat design UI interface is clear and beautiful, and the response speed has also been significantly improved. The operation logic is similar to that of mobile phones, making it easy to get started. It has many built-in practical applications such as Baidu Maps and Kuwo Music, which can comprehensively meet the daily needs of car owners.
In terms of functions, according to the currently known information, the new car adds FACE ID facial recognition, FACE ID seat memory and mobile phone wireless charging functions. Other features already available on the old model, such as adaptive cruise, panoramic imaging, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, electronic handbrake, one-button start, panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioning and electric tailgate, etc., can also be found on the new model. Found traces.
The seats of Binyue COOL are made of suede material and are designed with black and white contrasting colors. The wrapping experience is consistent with the current model, and the seating softness and wrapping properties are both good. The vehicle photographed is equipped with 6-way electric adjustment for the main driver and front seat heating. The change in the rear row is the addition of air-conditioning outlets, which improves the cooling effect of the rear air-conditioning and improves ride comfort.
In terms of space performance, a male experiencer with a height of 178cm sat in the front row, with the seat adjusted to the lowest position, and the headroom was one punch + three fingers. Coming to the back row, if the front seats remain unchanged, the experiencer has one circle of head room, two punches of leg room, and the floor of the middle seat is relatively flat. The overall space performance is superior in its class.
The storage space also performs well, including conventional storage space for personal belongings and mobile phones.The cup holders in the front row have a movable limit design, and users can freely adjust the storage layout, such as placing mobile phones or some small items.
In terms of power, Binyue COOL will only provide 1.5T models, and the previous three-cylinder 1.5T engine will be replaced with a new four-cylinder 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 133 kilowatts and a peak torque of 290 Nm. A 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is responsible for power transmission, with an acceleration time of 7.6 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
The suspension combination is consistent with that of most models in the same class, and is still a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
