According to its design standards, a car's normal lifespan is basically around 15 years. With good maintenance and care, it can last up to 20 years; if treated poorly and the condition deteriorates, it may last around 10 years. Minor maintenance at 10,000 kilometers: Oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Intermediate maintenance is at 20,000 kilometers, and major maintenance is performed every 40,000 kilometers. At 20,000 kilometers, maintenance includes replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, along with some routine checks: Air filter: Proper installation of the air filter can reduce wear on parts such as cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. (Generally, clean every 5,000 kilometers and replace the air filter every 10,000 kilometers.) Oil filter: Proper installation of the oil filter can prevent impurities from mixing into the engine oil during use, thereby avoiding wear on moving parts and oil passage blockages. When replacing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced; otherwise, it may affect the quality of the lubricating oil. The replacement cycle for engine oil and oil filter is generally every 5,000 kilometers.

I usually work at a car dealership and see many Emgrand owners driving their cars for over ten years without major issues. The key is regular maintenance. With proper engine care, it can easily run 150,000 kilometers. However, if you frequently drive on bumpy roads, the chassis may wear out faster, potentially requiring earlier repairs. Common problems like loose suspension or rusted brake systems should be addressed immediately when noticed—don’t delay. Additionally, Geely Emgrand parts are relatively affordable, making replacements inexpensive and helping extend the car’s lifespan. I recommend a routine check every 5,000 kilometers, focusing on engine oil, filters, and tires. This ensures safer and more cost-effective driving, making a decade of use quite common.

I've been driving my Geely Emgrand for seven years now, and it's still in great shape. I remember when I first bought it, my colleagues said it was economical and could last eight or nine years. But in reality, with proper maintenance like regular oil changes and avoiding sudden acceleration, it can last even longer. My Emgrand is my daily commuter, handling highways and mountain roads without major repairs. Simple habits like rust-proof washing and warming up the engine in winter make a difference. The interior materials have held up well too, without premature aging like some other cars. In short, driving a Geely Emgrand for over a decade is totally doable – just don't neglect basic maintenance to save both money and hassle.

From a technical perspective, the lifespan of the Geely Emgrand is influenced by several factors. Its engine is designed to be simple and durable, generally capable of supporting around 10 years of daily driving. In terms of materials, the car's anti-rust treatment is decent, but if you frequently drive in humid areas, the risk of chassis corrosion increases, shortening its lifespan. The transmission, whether manual or automatic, can last up to 150,000 kilometers with proper maintenance. The key is to replace wear-prone parts like the battery and brakes promptly and avoid overloading or prolonged idling, which can add unnecessary strain. Under normal conditions, it can last a decade without issues, but extreme usage may reduce this to seven or eight years.
