Is the Geely Emgrand fuel consumption high?
3 Answers
Geely Emgrand's fuel consumption is not high compared to similar models. It has a light weight and a small engine displacement. The combined fuel consumption remains stable at 7-8L per 100 kilometers. Below is a detailed introduction about the Geely Emgrand S car: Power: The Geely Emgrand S is a brand-new SUV, equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, delivering a maximum power of 104kW and a maximum torque of 235Nm. It is paired with an 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission. Interior: The red and black dynamic contrast interior design of the Geely Emgrand S catches the eye at first glance, featuring a new "flowing wrap-around cockpit" design that combines safety and comfort. The car is equipped with a surround-style 72-color rhythmic ambient lighting and high-resilience integrated comfortable seats adorned with WAVE musical note embroidery, creating a pleasant driving space full of rhythm and a sense of ceremony.
Last week, I accompanied my friend to test drive the new Geely Emgrand. He was particularly concerned about fuel consumption. The 4S store salesperson said the 1.5L manual version consumes 6-7 liters per 100km, but the actual display showed 8.2L in city traffic jams. The car weighs over 1.3 tons, and the older 1.8L engine version is indeed more fuel-consuming, with some owner group feedback reporting up to 9L. However, the new 1.5L version with CVT transmission has optimized shift logic, achieving only 5.9L with AC on during highway cruising. It's recommended to avoid rush hours, maintain tire pressure at 2.5Bar, and avoid cheap gas from unknown stations. Although the fuel cap recommends 92 octane, 95 octane provides better performance on highways. Also, note that the rearview mirror heating consumes a lot of electricity, which can affect fuel consumption during prolonged rainy conditions.
As a veteran Emgrand owner for three years, I believe fuel consumption depends entirely on driving habits. My 1.5L automatic version averages about 8.5L in city driving with AC on during school runs through traffic, but drops to 6.8L on weekend suburban trips. The most shocking was last summer - with AC blasting and five adults onboard, consumption skyrocketed to 9.3L! After installing dual-iridium spark plugs and cleaning the throttle body, it now consistently shows 7.6L. Two crucial tips for new owners: 1) The AC compressor's initial engagement significantly saps power - aggressive throttle inputs during this phase guzzles fuel; 2) Avoid keeping heavy items in the trunk - every 50kg extra weight increases consumption by 0.5L.
