What engine does the Emgrand GS have?

[StAna]

The Emgrand GS is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3T turbocharged engine. The Emgrand GS is a 5-door, 5-seater compact SUV under the Geely brand. Taking the 2020 Geely Emgrand GS as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4440mm, width 1833mm, height 1573mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2020 Geely Emgrand GS is powered by a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 104kW and a maximum torque of 235Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.

I've driven the Emgrand GS for two years, and the 1.5T engine paired with 48V mild hybrid is truly impressive. It's nimble from the start and particularly powerful for overtaking in the city. The fuel consumption pleasantly surprised me—just over 7L/100km with AC on in urban driving. It's a huge improvement over the old 1.8L naturally aspirated version, which was noticeably sluggish when accelerating on highways. The new engine also has better sound insulation, with tire noise being more prominent than the engine sound. The transmission is well-matched and shifts smoothly with minimal jerkiness, though the cold start can be a bit loud. After 50,000 km, it's been trouble-free, and maintenance costs are reasonable, making it easy on the budget for salaried workers.

Last month, I test-drove the new Emgrand GS. The 1.5T turbocharged engine delivers impressive explosive power, with 177 horsepower making acceleration and overtaking on national highways crisp and effortless. The most surprising part was how naturally the 48V mild hybrid system intervened—the engine automatically shuts off at red lights, and the electric motor provides instant assist during startup, making it much smoother than my friend's older 1.8L model. The salesperson claimed a combined fuel consumption of 6.2L, but even with the AC on and driving on mountain roads, it only reached around 7.5L. The chassis tuning leans toward comfort, effectively filtering out bumps over speed bumps, though the engine noise becomes slightly noticeable during hard acceleration.

Comparison of three Emgrand GS engines: The first-generation 1.8L naturally aspirated engine delivers smooth power but slow acceleration. The current 1.5T+48V mild hybrid offers direct power response, while the 1.4T version provides the best cost-performance ratio. Personally tested the 1.5T version - only one-third throttle is needed for urban commuting, and the transmission upshifts actively at 2000 rpm. On highways, deep throttle inputs deliver noticeable acceleration push, and engine noise increases noticeably beyond 4000 rpm. Brake dive is minimal, and cornering lateral support is adequate. For novice drivers, the 1.5T version is recommended as it offers greater power reserve.

The Emgrand GS Sport version I bought last year, equipped with a 1.5T engine, is more than sufficient for daily use. It accelerates briskly from traffic lights, with the turbo kicking in at just 1500 rpm, making it rarely necessary to floor the throttle in city driving. The 48V system makes the start-stop function almost imperceptible, and the most fuel-efficient display once showed 5.8L. When continuously driving uphill on mountain roads, switching to sport mode keeps the revs above 2500 rpm, ensuring ample power reserve. The downside is that it feels slightly underpowered when fully loaded with the air conditioning on while climbing steep slopes, but it performs perfectly fine under normal load conditions. The maintenance interval is 7500 kilometers, with each service costing around 400 yuan.

Having driven all engine variants of the Emgrand GS, my personal favorite is the 1.5T version. With 215 Nm of torque, it offers nimble performance for city driving. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission shifts much more intelligently than the old 1.4T's 6AT. The 48V motor not only improves fuel efficiency but also makes the auto start-stop system far less intrusive. At a steady 120 km/h on the highway, the engine maintains a stable 2,200 rpm with better-than-expected noise control. It saves 1-2 liters per 100km compared to the 1.8L version while delivering 30% more power. The transmission shows slight hesitation during hard acceleration but remains responsive in all other situations.
