Is the Geely Emgrand GS equipped with a three-cylinder engine?

Geely Emgrand GS has both three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines. The models equipped with three-cylinder engines are the Emgrand GS 2020 1.5T DCT Dynamic 260T and the Emgrand GS 2020 1.5T DCT Dynamic Pro 260T. A three-cylinder engine consists of three cylinders, with three identical single cylinders arranged within the same engine block sharing a single crankshaft to output power. Its primary function is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The Geely Emgrand GS is a compact SUV introduced by Geely Auto, with dimensions of 4440mm in length, 1833mm in width, and 1573mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is powered by two turbocharged engines: a 1.4T L4 and a 1.5T L3, with maximum power outputs of 104kw and 130kw respectively. It is paired with a CVT transmission (simulating 8 gears), a 6-speed manual transmission, or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've driven quite a few cars, and the Geely Emgrand GS definitely doesn't come with a three-cylinder engine configuration. It primarily uses a 1.4T four-cylinder engine. The four-cylinder engine is far superior in smoothness compared to three-cylinder ones—those easily noticeable vibrations, especially during cold starts or uphill driving, are absent in the Emgrand GS's four-cylinder setup. It runs much more steadily, with less noise and fewer vibrations, making it ideal for daily commutes. The power output is sufficient too; the 1.4T turbocharger delivers decent torque, and fuel consumption is kept around 6-7L/100km, which is quite economical. When choosing a car, pay attention to the specific year and model, but from the 2020 model year onwards, the mainstream configuration has been the four-cylinder design. Geely prioritized reliability and comfort—while the three-cylinder option saves space, it sacrifices driving experience. The Emgrand GS, as a family-oriented crossover SUV, focuses more on balance. During my test drive, the acceleration felt smooth, making it a trustworthy purchase.
