Geely Emgrand is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The new Geely Emgrand adopts a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is the JLγ-4G15 model engine independently developed by Geely. The maximum power is 109 horsepower/6000rpm, and the peak torque is 140 N·m/4400rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. More details are as follows: 1. The Emgrand's 1.5L JLγ-4G15 engine is independently developed by Geely and equipped with DVVT intelligent variable valve timing technology for both intake and exhaust. Its peak power reaches 80Kw, ranking among the top performance parameters among domestic engines. 2. The power output of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is quite responsive and intelligently tuned, just meeting the needs of daily commuting. With ample low-end torque, this design provides a light and agile driving feel in urban environments. 3. The throttle pedal is very light, with almost no damping sensation, which may cause foot fatigue during long drives. The gearshift has a relatively long travel, but gear engagement is smooth and effortless, making it one of the few well-functioning manual transmissions among Chinese brands.
I've been driving the Emgrand for many years, from the first generation to the current 2023 model, which basically comes standard with a 4-cylinder engine. Mine is the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated version, and I feel the power output is smooth, with no sluggish acceleration in the city. The 4-cylinder design offers high reliability and minimal engine vibration, unlike some 3-cylinder cars that shake noticeably. In terms of fuel consumption, mine averages around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it's even more economical on long trips. Maintenance is straightforward, and issues like spark plugs or ignition system problems are easy to fix. When I was buying the car, I compared it with other brands, and the 4-cylinder Emgrand stood out for its value for money in the same price range. The noise control is also excellent, making long drives less tiring. If you're hesitating about which car to buy, I recommend starting with the number of cylinders as a key consideration.
