Is the Geely Emgrand a Three-Cylinder Engine?
3 Answers
Geely Emgrand is not a three-cylinder engine; its entire lineup features four-cylinder engines. Taking the 2021 Geely Emgrand as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, a wheelbase of 2650mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Geely Emgrand is equipped with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 PS, a maximum power of 80 kW, and a maximum torque of 142 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been researching domestic car engines recently. Not all Geely Emgrand models are equipped with three-cylinder engines—it depends on the specific model and year. For example, the 2023 Emgrand GL Pro and Emgrand GT premium versions commonly use a 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which delivers strong power but sometimes noticeable vibrations, especially at high speeds. However, older Emgrand models like the Classic edition still retain the 1.8L four-cylinder option, which is more stable but slightly less fuel-efficient. When buying a new car, it's advisable to check the configuration sheet or test-drive to experience the smoothness of the three-cylinder engine—don't just rely on advertisements. Three-cylinder engines, being fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, are a trend and comply with China VI emissions standards, but maintenance requires regular spark plug replacements to prevent vibration issues. Overall, the Emgrand series flexibly caters to different needs: younger buyers prioritizing fuel efficiency may opt for the new three-cylinder models, while families valuing comfort can choose the four-cylinder option.
I've driven Geely cars for several years. The Emgrand brand offers a decent experience, but not all models come with three-cylinder engines. Speaking from experience, I test-drove the new Emgrand GS last year equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine. It had quick acceleration and was good for city commuting, but exhibited noticeable vibration and noise on long drives. My older four-cylinder Emgrand didn't have these issues - it was more stable but less fuel-efficient. Many domestic brands now promote three-cylinder engines for fuel economy, like the Emgrand Pro series which achieves around 6L/100km in daily driving. Before purchasing, check owner reviews on forums rather than just listening to sales pitches. While three-cylinder designs help reduce weight and improve efficiency, remember to inspect engine mounts during oil changes. Overall, Emgrand offers diverse options: three-cylinder versions suit beginners or budget-conscious buyers, while experienced drivers may prefer the more balanced classic editions.
