2 Answers
Geely Emgrand uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3T turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is the JL4G15 model independently developed by Geely, with a maximum horsepower of 109 hp and a peak torque of 140 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.3T model is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, with the 1.3T engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 133 hp and a maximum torque of 185 Nm. The dimensions of the Geely Emgrand are 4632 mm in length, 1789 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650 mm. The Geely Emgrand features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension, and the body structure is a unibody design.
Speaking of the Geely Emgrand's engine, as an ordinary driver with years of experience, I know this car quite well. Most of its models are equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, available in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants. The naturally aspirated version delivers around 109 horsepower, making it very suitable for daily commuting—it runs smoothly in city driving. The turbocharged version boosts horsepower to about 130, offering a stronger acceleration feel. I've driven the Emgrand GL and found its fuel consumption well-controlled, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km in the city and dropping below 6 liters on long-distance trips. The engine uses DVVT technology, which intelligently adjusts intake and exhaust to improve fuel efficiency, and its reliability is decent. I recommend prioritizing the turbocharged version when buying a new car, as it provides better power, especially when climbing hills or carrying loads. However, it's important to change the engine oil regularly and inspect it every 5,000 km to avoid carbon buildup affecting performance. Overall, while this engine may not match luxury brands, it’s practical for its price range, with low maintenance costs, making it a solid choice for family cars.
