Geely Emgrand is equipped with: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3T turbocharged engine. The engine is the core part of the powertrain, with its main component being the cylinder, and it serves as the power source of the entire vehicle. Taking the 2021 Geely Emgrand as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4632mm, width 1789mm, height 1470mm, with a wheelbase of 2650mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Geely Emgrand is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 80kW at 6000rpm, and a maximum torque of 142Nm at 4400rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years. Its engine is usually a 1.5L naturally aspirated one, which is quite durable and fuel-efficient. For daily city driving, the fuel consumption is not high, averaging about 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can last for several hundred kilometers, and maintenance is simple—basic services like oil changes cost just a few hundred yuan each. The newer models also offer a turbocharged option, which significantly improves power, making acceleration smoother from the start. Overall, this engine is designed to be cost-effective, suitable for family use, with strong reliability. It drives steadily and handles bumpy roads without issues.

The engine configurations of the Geely Emgrand are quite diverse. My personal favorite is the 1.5L DVVT engine with dual variable valve timing, which optimizes airflow and enhances torque at low RPMs, delivering around 90 horsepower. Paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, the overall response is very agile. Later, they introduced a 1.4T turbocharged version with greater horsepower and stronger burst power, making overtaking on highways incredibly thrilling. These engines are all independently developed by Geely, featuring advanced technology and excellent emission control. Regular maintenance with standard mineral oil is sufficient.

The Emgrand's engine focuses on economy and practicality. The base model typically comes with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, achieving a fuel consumption of 6-8L per 100km, which is quite wallet-friendly. With low parts costs, minor replacements can be done for just a few hundred yuan, and it features long maintenance intervals. It runs smoothly and quietly in daily driving, making it ideal for budget-conscious beginners. Newer versions may upgrade to turbocharging, but the base model's fuel efficiency and reliability make it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting.

The engine development of Geely Emgrand is quite interesting. In the early years, it used a standard 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with average fuel efficiency. Later, DVVT technology was introduced to optimize valve timing, reducing fuel consumption. The latest models now feature a 1.4T turbocharged engine, boosting power output by 30% while meeting China VI emission standards. This step-by-step improvement has made the engine more efficient and durable, suitable for various driving conditions, reflecting the progress of domestic vehicles.
