Compact Coolreys already drive with might and main on the roads of our country. They are even used in taxis and car sharing. At the same time, citizens seem to have forgotten that they are wary of small engines and robots. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how Russian and Chinese drivers talk about the car.
Let’s start with the interior, which looks beautiful and rich from the outside, which is a real breakthrough for the Chinese. However, a number of scrupulous buyers are dissatisfied with the way the fuel gauge and antifreeze temperature indicators are placed on the graphical instrument panel. They are made in the form of beautiful decorative stripes, but there are no numbers. But the motor is under load and the temperature must be monitored. Especially in the summer, and even if the radiators are no longer very clean and clogged with fluff.
As for the power unit, we recall that there is a 150 hp 1.5-liter 3-cylinder Geely engine with the JLH-3G15TD index. It has been produced in China since 2018. The engine can be found on models such as Atlas, but also on very rare Protons in Russia. In many ways, the design resembles the Swedish “heart” of the B3154T series, which is placed under the hood of the Volvo XC40.
According to bloggers from the Chinese channel AutoShow Channel, the cylinder block here is made of an aluminum alloy with steel plasma sprayed on the walls. That is, in theory, it can be repaired, but this requires a specialized service. The timing belt has a timing belt, which is good. This solution is quite simple and even profitable. It is more difficult to maintain a chain drive, more expensive, and even with such motors the “piece of iron” will not last long. This has already been confirmed by many car manufacturers. Incidentally, there were no serious problems or recallable campaigns for Coolrey.
“Robot” with two “wet” clutches is also not upset. True, some drivers complain about jerky shifts in traffic jams. But this should be taken seriously, because a two-mass flywheel was used in the design of the power unit – a good, but expensive solution. Such blows increase the load and reduce the resource.
Another nuance. The transmission control unit is located quite low. With an unfortunate turn of events, it can become addicted. Therefore, we must not forget that Coolray is an urban crossover. By the way, some options are puzzling in this regard. For example, a car owner nicknamed “Mikhalych” does not understand the presence of an assistant in the car during the descent. He writes that this is a crossover, not an SUV. The ground clearance is quite low, the drive is only in the front. On such a car to drive into the wilderness – a crime. And on the usual dry primer you can hit the brakes: they certainly will not overheat. So, according to Mikhalych, this electronics is clearly superfluous here. But this is most likely pure taste.
In general, having studied the reviews of the car, we can conclude that Russian buyers are satisfied with their “iron horses” and do not experience technical difficulties. We would like to advise those who want to buy second-hand copies not to trade on emotions. It is better to make a thorough diagnosis first. Especially the dual-mass flywheel, which “lives” about 200,000 km.
