How much does the Geely Emgrand GL weigh?

[DeAustin]

Geely Emgrand GL weighs around 1.4 tons. Below is some relevant knowledge about vehicle weight: The role of vehicle weight: The heavier the vehicle, the better its driving stability, especially during sharp turns and emergency braking. Additionally, in collisions, it tends to be sturdier with less deformation, making it relatively safer. The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption: At the same speed, total weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. Fuel consumption at identical speeds is directly proportional to the vehicle's total mass. If a car is 10% heavier, resistance increases by 10%. With greater resistance, the engine requires more power, leading to higher fuel consumption. The engine needs to overcome resistance to perform work and drive the vehicle.

I've personally experienced the weight of the Geely Emgrand GL, as I've been driving this car for nearly three years. The curb weight generally ranges between 1,285 kg and 1,385 kg, depending on the specific configuration. The entry-level manual transmission version is lighter, while the top automatic trim is heavier due to added features like a sunroof and airbags. This significantly impacts daily driving—for instance, in city driving, the moderate weight makes it relatively agile in turns, but on the highway, the 1,300+ kg body gives a more stable feel without drifting. However, fuel consumption is slightly higher, so I’d recommend opting for a lighter version if you frequently drive long distances, though it’s negligible for city use. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that the car’s weight also affects brake pad wear, so I check them regularly to prevent issues. Overall, it’s a very practical car.

My Emgrand GL is the 2021 Luxury Edition, with a curb weight close to 1,330 kg. For daily city commuting, this weight makes the car feel solid, without that floating sensation when taking turns. However, I remember the base model being slightly lighter and quicker off the line during the test drive. The weight contributes to comfort, reducing bumpiness on rough roads and making long drives less tiring. That said, compared to smaller-displacement cars, fuel consumption is about 0.5 L/100km higher. After adding some accessories, it's even heavier now. If you're on a tight budget, the entry-level model weighs just over 1,290 kg and is more fuel-efficient, but the top trim's additional safety features are worth considering. I often share this experience with friends when they're choosing a car.

As a car enthusiast, I know that the weight of the Emgrand GL ranges from 1,250 to 1,400 kg, with the standard version weighing over 1,280 kg. Vehicle weight affects suspension durability; heavier models tend to wear out shock absorbers more easily, so regular maintenance is recommended. Lightweight improves acceleration feel but reduces stability, while sufficient weight provides better safety in windy and rainy conditions. My car weighs about 1,350 kg, with slightly higher fuel consumption, but it's generally durable.

I use the Emgrand GL to pick up and drop off my kids at home. It weighs around 1,300 to 1,380 kilograms, depending on the configuration, with the top trim being heavier but equipped with more airbags. The car's weight makes the ride more stable for kids in the back seat, providing better protection in collisions and reducing bumps to minimize motion sickness. However, it slightly increases fuel consumption, so regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety. The lighter configuration at 1,290 kilograms is more economical but less safe than the top trim. I think a family car weighing around 1,350 kilograms is ideal—practical and reassuring.
