Geely Atlas

In China, the crossover went into series in the spring of 2016 under the name Geely Boyue (NL-3). In Russia, the model called Geely Atlas appeared in 2018. The assembly of the car was carried out in Belarus at the BelGee plant by a small-knot method. Jiley Atlas entered the compact crossover segment.

Engines

Atlas was equipped exclusively with four-cylinder gasoline engines. Two of them are atmospheric - 2.0 liters (JLD-4G20), developing 139 hp, and 2.4 liters (JLD-4G24), providing 149 hp output. The third is a turbocharged 1.8 (JLE-4G18TDB) with direct fuel injection and 184 hp return. In the list of proposals it appeared in March 2019. The engine with the BorgWarner turbocharger and the Bosch control unit is very similar in layout to the EA888 series Wag 1.8 TSI. The declared resource of the Chinese replica is 300,000 km. At the moment, there are no massive serious malfunctions of the turbo engine. Only isolated cases of major repairs due to the appearance of bullies on the walls of the cylinders have been noticed. The cost of restoring working capacity was about 200 000 rubles. The 2.4 is a Toyota engine. Among the characteristic disadvantages, it is possible to distinguish not long-lasting standard supports of the power unit, provoking vibrations at idle. Tremors are detected after 30-60 thousand km of run. The front and rear supports are to be replaced - 4000 and 6000 rubles, respectively, for the original. In addition, after 50-100 thousand km, errors sometimes popped up indicating problems with the catalyst. When checking its condition, traces of melting and the beginning of destruction were found. The costs of removing the catalytic converter, welding the plaster and reflashing the engine ECU were within 20-50 thousand rubles. After 100-150 thousand.

Transmissions

6-speed manual transmission - products of the company Getrag. It became uncontested for cars with a 2-liter engine.

The 6-band DSI 675F6 is a development of Australian company Divetrian System International, which is owned by Geely. The automatic transmission relied in suspension only versions with engines 2.4 and 1.8T.

The Australian DSI machine, though with a different index, was previously used in the Korean SsangYong Action Sport and New Action. The box didn't work out well there. Problems are also found in the Atlas.

The most common complaints are kicks when switching.

In some cases, failures in the work were eliminated by replacing the inhibitor (14,000 rubles for the original). Problems with it were typical for cars of the end of 2020 - early 2021.

Some owners had to resort to repairing the machine at a distance of 50-100 thousand km. For a complete bulkhead needed about 150 000 rubles.

All-wheel drive system

Versions with a 2-liter engine were exclusively front-wheel drive. The remaining modifications could be both mono and all-wheel drive.

The ground clearance for the crossover is small - only 163 mm under the plastic protection of the engine crankcase.

The all-wheel drive system uses a NexTrac clutch developed by BorgWarner. It can be blocked to a speed of 40 km / h.

Cases of repair of key elements of the transmission are isolated. The incidents affected the handout and the rear gearbox.

At the place of the slate connection of the transfer case and automatic transmission, corrosion occurs. The picture is similar to the crossovers Kia and Hyundai. Episodes of twisting in the slate connection have not yet been recorded. The cost of prevention (lubrication on the slate compound) is about 6000 rubles.

Walking

On the front axle of Geely Atlas installed MacPherson struts, behind uses a multi-link design.

Many owners after 30-80 thousand km of run faced knocking in the steering. The reason is the weakening of the lower bolt of the steering cardinal.

Less often, the source of knocking was the steering rack.

After 30-60 thousand km could knock and front shock absorbers (3-7 thousand rubles).

Silentblocks and ball-shaped lever supports are quite hardy.

Over time, the bolts adjust the collapse of the rear wheels sour.

From time to time, there are complaints of vibration during acceleration. The reason is the production in the internal SRUS. The modified hinges went into the series in the spring of 2020. Originals are only assembled with a semi-axle - about 20,000 rubles. Internal SRUS of third-party manufacturers can be picked up for 7-10 thousand rubles.

Atlas owners had to face the locking of the electric parking brake. The reason for the servo drive - the motor refused, or soldering from contacts fell off. In the official service, the malfunction was eliminated by replacing the caliper in the collection - 45 000 rubles for the caliper. Nevertheless, the servo drive is available both in the original - 18 000 rubles, and as an analogue - 6-9 thousand rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

Painting of the body, in the spirit of modern cars, is not particularly durable.

Corrosion resistance of body iron does not cause serious questions yet. However, after 2-4 years, paint bloating was found in the area of the plastic lining of the rear wheel arch, covered by the door, as well as on the trunk lid - above the chrome bar and above the lights.

Due to the oxidation of the silimine base of the side mirrors, it was sometimes difficult to wash off subtracts under them.

One of the unpleasant and mysterious incidents is the spontaneous cracking of the glass of the trunk lid (21 000 rubles for the original). This happened after 1-3 years of operation.

After 30-80,000 km, no, no, no, and the rear-view camera begins to fail. It is noteworthy that it is directly connected to the can bus, which causes interruptions in the camera can cause electronics failures. The original camera is incredibly expensive – 37,000 rubles. Fortunately, in a popular Chinese online store you can find analogues for a sane 2000 rubles.

After 80-120 thousand km, there were malfunctions of the generator - the voltage regulator failed (2-3 thousand rubles for an analogue).

Sporadic airbag errors were usually eliminated by simple manipulation – clicking the yellow connector under the driver’s seat.

Fire.

In 2021, a number of Jiley Atlas came under a recall campaign due to the risk of spontaneous combustion. In severe frosts (below -35 ... -40 degrees) the fuel line could depressurize, and gasoline ignition occurred as a result of static electricity. Unfortunately, some cars were seriously damaged.

The recall affected only cars sold on the Russian market since February 2018. Cars from the Belarusian market were not recalled and did not appear in the accident reports. Tubes, fuel pump module and filter fastening bolt were to be replaced.

I am glad that nothing serious is happening with the engines. The all-wheel drive and suspension system behaves quite well. Some concerns are the machine - there are cases of repair, and in the past, Australian boxes were not reliable. Otherwise, it's like everyone else. The most reliable is the 2-liter version of Jiley Atlas.
