20-692: The new vehicle was named "FY11" under development, and was released in March 2019 as the Xingyue. The Xingyue is based on the CMA platform. Engine options for the Geely Xingyue include a petrol-powered 1.5 liter straight-three engine , producing 130 kW (170 hp; 180 PS) and 255 N⋅m (188 lb⋅ft) of torque, and a 2.0 liter straight-four turbo engine producing 175 kW (235 hp; 238 PS) and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft) of torque. Transmissions include

40-691: A 543 cc (33 cu in) four-stroke engine, which was introduced in the Alto and Fronte models. The Subaru EF engine is a 4-stroke petrol engine which was introduced in 1984 and used in the Justy and the Sumo (the export version of the Sambar). The straight-three versions of the Ford EcoBoost engine – a turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engine – was introduced in the 2012 Ford Focus. It uses an unbalanced flywheel to shift

60-438: A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission on lower-end models, and a 8-speed Aisin automatic transmission on the highest-spec model, the 350T. All model versions are named for their produced torque, in newton-meters. 300T - The base model, a gas-only, 5-seat SUV, is powered by a 1.5TD, 3-cylinder, turbocharged direct injection engine. The transmission is a 7-speed wet dual clutch . 350T - A power-focused sports model, similar to

80-588: A straight-twin engine. Four-stroke straight-three engines have been used in road bikes and racing bikes by several companies. From 1985–1995, the BMW K75 was produced with a straight-three engine (based on the straight-four engine from the BMW K100). British company Triumph is particularly renowned for a transversely-mounted straight-three engine. Variants have been used in their Speed Triple , Trident , Sprint , and Tiger series. In addition Triumph makes

100-507: Is a seven-seater, two-door station wagon produced by Swedish automaker Saab from 1959 to 1978. Initially it was based on the Saab 93 sedan , but the model's development throughout the years followed closely that of the Saab 96 , the successor of the Saab 93 from 1960. It was introduced in 1959, but because only 40 were made in 1959, production is often said to have started in 1960. The first engine

120-432: Is a three-cylinder piston engine where cylinders are arranged in a line along a common crankshaft. Less common than straight-four engines , straight-three engines have nonetheless been used in various motorcycles, cars and agricultural machinery. A crankshaft angle of 120 degrees is typically used by straight-three engines, since this results in an evenly spaced firing interval . Another benefit of this configuration

140-404: Is perfect primary balance and secondary balance , however an end-to-end rocking couple is induced because there is no symmetry in the piston velocities about the middle piston. A balance shaft is sometimes used to reduce the vibrations caused by the rocking couple. Other crankshaft angles have been used occasionally. The 1976–1981 Laverda Jota motorcycle used a 180 degree crankshaft, where

160-689: Is the Fairbanks-Morse 32E14 low-speed diesel engine. The straight-three layout is common for diesel tractor engines, such as the Perkins AD3.152 . This engine was used in the Massey Ferguson 35 and Fordson Dextra tractors, as well as for marine and stationary applications. The Hewland AE75 is a 750 cc two-stroke aircraft engine that was produced in the mid-1980s. It was an inverted three-cylinder design with liquid-cooling that produced 75 bhp (56 kW). Saab 95 The Saab 95

180-569: The Rocket III model, various variants of which have held the record for motorcycle with the largest engine displacement. In 2019 , the Moto2 class in the MotoGP World Championship switched to using Triumph 765 cc (46.7 cu in) triple engines. Two-stroke designs are less common in straight-three engines than four-stroke designs, however several were produced by Japanese manufacturers in

200-413: The 300T, but with a 2.0T 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 235 hp (175 kW; 238 PS). More power comes through in the form of an Aisin 8-speed transmission. Features a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h) (claimed). 400T - Geely's flagship Xing Yue model, and the only one with the ability to run off of pure electricity, albeit for a very limited 80 km (50 mi). Despite

220-571: The Russian border and is focused on exports to Russia. The Knewstar line will eventually consist of three models, including the Knewstar 002 compact SUV and a D-segment sedan. Industry experts and analysts noted that the brand is an effort to distance Geely with Russia due to the threat of international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine . Straight-three engine A straight-three engine (also called an inline-triple or inline-three )

240-412: The inherent three-cylinder imbalance to the horizontal plane where it is more easily managed by engine mounts, and so remove the need to use balance shafts. In 2016, cylinder deactivation was added, claimed to be a world first for three-cylinder engines. The advantages of a straight-three engine for motorcycles are that it has a shorter length than an inline-four engine and produces less vibration than

260-630: The introduction of Saab's 750 cc (46 cu in) two-stroke engine, which was also used in the Saab 95 , Saab 96 and Saab Sonett until 1968 after which it was replaced by the Ford Taunus V4 engine . The Wartburg cars (manufactured in East Germany) and FSO Syrena (manufactured in Poland) also used straight-three engines. The 1967 Suzuki Fronte 360 uses a 256 cc (16 cu in) two-stroke engine. In 1980, Suzuki began production of

280-426: The late 1960s through to 1980s. The Kawasaki triple engine was produced from 1968 to 1980 and was used in various road bikes and racing bikes. Most versions were air-cooled, however several were water-cooled. Similarly, the 1972–1980 Suzuki GT series engines were used for both road bike and racing bikes, and were available in both air-cooled and water-cooled versions. An example of an agricultural application

300-672: The lowest top speed of any Xing Yue (a claimed 121 mph (195 km/h)), it produces a modest 254 hp (189 kW; 258 PS). In September 2024, the Geely Tugella was withdrawn from Geely's line-up in Russia, and was reintroduced under a new brand with a revised front fascia as the Knewstar 001 . Production of the vehicle were moved to a facility owned by Yufun Auto in Harbin , China with an annual capacity of 120,000 units. The plant located near

320-445: The outer pistons rise and fall together and inner cylinder is offset from them by 180 degrees. This results in three power strokes evenly-spaced at 180 degrees each, and then no power strokes during the final 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 motorcycle uses a "T-Plane" crankshaft where the crankshaft throws are at 90 intervals, such that the throws for cylinders 1 and 3 are separated by 180 degrees (therefore

340-400: The three throws together forming a "T" shape when viewed from the end). Among the first cars to use a straight-three engine is the 1953–1955 DKW F91 , powered by a 900 cc (55 cu in) two-stroke engine , although this was predated by the 3 cylinder 15hp Rolls Royce produced in 1905 and a number of other cars of this era also used 3 cylinder engines. The 1956–1960 Saab 93 saw

360-456: The two-stroke engine, but when power was needed the transmission would engage and the driver could power the car up hill again. As the 95 received the four-speed gearbox before the 96 (that still had the old three-speed unit) it was also used for rallying. In the US, the Saab 95 received the larger 1.7 litre V4 for the 1971 model year, as a response to tighter emissions regulations. The compression ratio

380-478: Was an 841 cc three-cylinder two-stroke , but from 1967 onward, it became available with the same four-stroke Ford Taunus V4 engine as available for the Saab 96 and used in the Saab Sonett V4 and Sonett III . It had a four-speed manual transmission . There was a small handle on the firewall that, when pushed, put the car into a " freewheeling " mode. This allowed the driver to coast downhill without seizing

400-494: Was lowered to 8.0:1, meaning that the power remained at 73 hp (54 kW). The Saab 95/96 remained on sale in the United States until 1973. A rear-facing folding seat was dropped with the 1976 model year , making the car a regular five-seater. Production ended in 1978 (when only 470 examples were built). A total of 110,527 were made. For certain markets ( Norway , Denmark ) a special export version sedan delivery van
