Geely Freedom Ship is equipped with 1.0L naturally aspirated engine, 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. Taking the 2015 Geely Freedom Ship as an example, it belongs to a compact car with body dimensions of 4267mm in length, 1680mm in width, 1440mm in height, a wheelbase of 2434mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45L, and a curb weight of 1048kg. The 2015 Geely Freedom Ship features MacPherson strut front suspension and MacPherson strut rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 86PS, maximum power of 63kW, maximum torque of 110Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a Geely Free Cruiser for almost two years, equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, which is said to be based on Mitsubishi's 4G15 series technology. The power output is moderate. It performs well in city driving with decent acceleration from a standstill, but requires more throttle input when overtaking on highways, with slightly sluggish response. The average fuel consumption is around 7 liters per 100 km, neither particularly fuel-efficient nor excessively thirsty, though it increases a bit when using air conditioning in summer. There's noticeable noise during cold starts, but it quiets down after the engine warms up. I'd remind everyone not to neglect maintenance – I change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers using regular mineral oil, which is cost-effective. This engine has proven durable; my friend's has run for five years without major issues. Earlier models might have offered a 1.3-liter option with weaker power, but the 1.5-liter is definitely the better choice. Overall, it's quite suitable for novice drivers or budget-conscious owners, with affordable repair costs for engine components.

Over the years, I've encountered many Geely Free Cruisers, most equipped with 1.5L or 1.6L gasoline engines. The first-generation models might have used 1.3L Mitsubishi engines, while later facelifts adopted Geely's in-house MR479Q series. The power delivery is smooth, adequate for city commuting, though highway acceleration feels mediocre. In terms of durability, regular maintenance can prevent common issues like carbon buildup – I personally make it a habit to check the air filter every six months. Engine noise is noticeable at idle but remains acceptable while driving. Maintenance costs are low with readily available parts; for instance, replacing spark plugs won't cost much. Fuel consumption averages around 7.5L/100km. I'd advise against overloading during long trips to avoid overheating risks. The engine's affordability is this car's main draw, offering practical overall performance for family use – even repair shops consider it a top entry-level choice.

In my experience with cars, I've come across quite a few Geely Freedom models, typically equipped with 1.5L or 1.6L gasoline engines. Early versions used Mitsubishi technology, while later models featured Geely's in-house production. Common issues include aging ignition coils and carbon buildup in fuel injectors, leading to starting difficulties or increased fuel consumption. Key maintenance points involve regular oil changes and belt inspections, with semi-synthetic oil recommended to extend engine life. The engine outputs around 70-80 kilowatts, providing adequate power for daily use but struggling slightly at high speeds. Its simple design results in low repair costs, and most minor issues I've encountered were fixed with small repairs. Owners are advised to pay attention to unusual engine noises and get them checked early to avoid major overhauls. Overall, it's a reliable car that can last several years with proper maintenance.
