2 Answers
Suzuki GZ150A and GZ150E have the following differences: Different emission standards: The biggest difference between GZ150A and GZ150E is their emission standards. GZ150A meets the China III emission standard, while GZ150E meets the China IV emission standard. Different appearance: Additionally, GZ150E replaces the original Suzuki logo with Haojue's independent logo, with minimal differences in other aspects. All brand logos on the body, engine, fuel tank, and side cases of GZ150E have been changed from Suzuki's independent logo to Haojue's logo. Different power aspects: GZ150E's engine has shifted from a Suzuki engine to a fully domestically produced Suzuki imitation engine.
I've ridden the Suzuki GZ150 series A and E versions several times. The two models look almost identical in appearance, both retaining that classic cruising style, but the core difference lies in their emission standards. The GZ150A is the older model compliant with China's National III emissions, while the GZ150E has been upgraded to National IV. As a result, the E version features finer engine tuning, reducing fuel consumption to around 2L/100km—slightly more economical than the A version's 2.2L—and it also cuts down on startup noise, making the ride feel quieter and smoother. I also noticed the E version comes with a new electronic fuel injection system, eliminating the cold-start difficulties associated with the A version's carburetor. The seat height and curb weight remain largely unchanged, but the E version's seat padding is thicker, reducing butt fatigue on long rides. If you're considering buying used, the A version is cheaper, but the E version is more eco-friendly and durable, with fewer hassles during future annual inspections. Overall, both models deliver similar power, but the E version is better suited for long-term use, especially in urban areas where it can save you some fuel costs.
