So, we’re diving deep into the Geely Atlas Pro’s engine today. Specifically, the updated TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-THREE version. I’ve been driving this thing for a while now, and I’ve got some strong opinions, both good and bad. Let’s start with what Geely calls the «beast» part of the equation.
First off, let’s talk about the familiar feel of the Geely Atlas Pro. You know, that initial impression you get when you first slide behind the wheel? It’s comfortable, it’s got a nice, solid feel to it. The driving position is excellent, offering great visibility. But the real story is under the hood. This isn’t your grandpappy’s Geely. This updated engine is a noticeable step up from previous models. The responsiveness is immediate. You don’t get that lag you sometimes find in other vehicles in this class. There’s a real sense of power on tap, ready to be unleashed. The throttle response is crisp and precise, making for a very enjoyable driving experience, especially in city driving where you need that quick acceleration to merge into traffic.
Now, let’s talk acceleration. This is where the «double power» claim really comes into play. I’ve put this thing through its paces, and I’ve been genuinely impressed. Overtaking maneuvers are effortless. Merging onto the highway is a breeze. You feel a significant surge of power when you put your foot down. It’s not neck-snappingly fast, of course, but for a vehicle of this size and class, the acceleration is surprisingly potent. I’ve done several zero to SIXTY tests, and the results consistently exceeded my expectations. It’s not just about raw speed, though. The power delivery is smooth and linear, making for a comfortable and controlled acceleration experience. There’s no sudden jerkiness or unexpected power surges. It’s a refined power delivery that makes driving this vehicle a pleasure. I’ve even taken it on some longer trips, and the engine’s performance remained consistently impressive, even when fully loaded.
But, let’s be real. No car is perfect. While the power is a significant upgrade, there are some weaknesses. One thing I’ve noticed is that fuel economy isn’t exactly stellar, especially if you’re driving aggressively and enjoying that extra power. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not the most fuel-efficient vehicle in its class. Another minor point is the engine noise. Under hard acceleration, you can hear the engine working a bit harder than you might expect. It’s not overly loud or intrusive, but it’s noticeable. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but it’s something to keep in mind. Finally, long-term reliability remains to be seen. While the initial performance is impressive, only time will tell how this updated engine holds up over the long haul. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on that front as I continue to put miles on this vehicle.
So, let’s dive straight into the fuel consumption of the Geely Atlas Pro with its updated engine. Now, this is a crucial aspect for many car buyers, and I know you guys are curious. We’ve been putting this thing through its paces, driving in various conditions – city driving, highway cruising, even some off-road adventures to really test its limits. What we found was quite interesting. In city driving, we saw an average fuel consumption of around TEN to TWELVE liters per ONE HUNDRED kilometers. This isn’t terrible, considering the power this engine packs, but it’s definitely not the most fuel-efficient city vehicle out there. On the highway, however, things improved significantly. We consistently saw figures around EIGHT to NINE liters per ONE HUNDRED kilometers. This is a much more respectable number, and it really highlights the engine’s efficiency at higher speeds. Overall, the fuel consumption is pretty much in line with what you’d expect from a vehicle of this size and power, but remember, your mileage may vary depending on your driving style and conditions.
Now, let’s talk about the updated Geely Atlas Pro for TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-THREE. Geely has really made some significant changes under the hood, and it’s not just a minor facelift. The engine itself is the star of the show here. They’ve boosted the power considerably, and it’s noticeable from the moment you hit the gas. The responsiveness is incredible; there’s a real punch to the acceleration that wasn’t present in previous models. Beyond the power increase, Geely has also focused on improving the engine’s refinement. The noise levels are significantly reduced compared to the older engine, making for a much more pleasant driving experience, especially on longer journeys. They’ve also tweaked the transmission to work more seamlessly with the new engine, resulting in smoother gear changes and a more refined overall driving feel. It’s a noticeable upgrade, and it’s clear that Geely has put a lot of effort into refining this aspect of the Atlas Pro. But, of course, no car is perfect, and we’ll get to the weaknesses in a moment.
Finally, let’s discuss the results of our extensive testing. The updated engine is undeniably a significant improvement. The increased power is fantastic, making the Atlas Pro a genuinely fun car to drive. The improved fuel economy on the highway is also a welcome addition. However, while the city fuel consumption is acceptable, it could be better. And here’s where we get to the weaknesses. While the engine is powerful and refined, we did notice some minor issues. The engine can sometimes feel a little rough at lower RPMs, particularly when starting from a standstill. It’s not a major problem, but it’s something to be aware of. Additionally, some users have reported a slight increase in engine noise under heavy acceleration. Again, it’s not overly intrusive, but it’s worth mentioning. Overall, the positives significantly outweigh the negatives. The TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-THREE Geely Atlas Pro offers a compelling package of power, refinement, and features, making it a strong contender in its class. But, as always, it’s important to consider these minor drawbacks before making a purchase decision.
