1 Answers
The comparison between the Roewe i5 and the Geely Emgrand in terms of the three major components is as follows: Engine: The Geely Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 HP and a peak torque of 142 Nm. The Emgrand's 1.5L JLY-4G15 engine is independently developed by Geely and features DVVT intelligent variable valve timing technology for both intake and exhaust, making it one of the leading engines among domestic brands. The Roewe i5 comes with two engine options: a 1.5L and a 1.5T, delivering maximum horsepower of 120 HP and 169 HP, and peak torque of 150 Nm and 250 Nm, respectively. These engines belong to the Blue Core series, co-developed by SAIC and General Motors, offering relatively good fuel economy and power performance, ranking among the top in domestic brands. Transmission: The Emgrand uses a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. The CVT transmission is from the Belgian Punch brand, manufactured at the Nanjing Punch factory, which can simulate 6 "gears" and enable manual shifting, providing an automatic transmission at a low cost with decent overall performance. The Roewe i5's CVT transmission features main components supplied by Bosch and is independently developed by SAIC, while the dual-clutch transmission uses the VT2 product from Nanjing Punch. The CVT transmission in the Roewe i5 performs better in fuel economy compared to the dual-clutch and also supports manual shifting and simulates 8 gears. Chassis: The Roewe i5 adopts the same front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension as the Geely Emgrand. This suspension configuration has undergone long-term market testing, ensuring overall quality with sufficient reliability.
