Emgrand GL's official combined fuel consumption is 5.9L/100km. The factors affecting Geely's fuel consumption are as follows: Fuel storage and supply system: The vehicle's fuel storage and supply system also affects fuel consumption. This is probably confusing to many people. Because the vehicle's fuel tank and fueling/supply lines are composed of multi-layer composite materials. The design already maximizes prevention of fuel molecule separation and escape into the air, but in reality some fuel still escapes from the tank, lines and fuel filler neck. Transmission system efficiency: The torque and speed output from the engine needs to be reduced in speed and increased in torque through the transmission (or increased in speed at high velocity), then transmitted to the wheels via drive shafts to propel the vehicle (4WD vehicles also have power transfer units, longitudinal drive shafts and rear differential modules). A good engine must be paired with a good transmission system, as the transmission system's efficiency significantly impacts the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Geely's fuel consumption indeed varies by model. My friend drives an Emgrand GL for commuting, with urban fuel consumption around 7-9 liters per 100 km, which drops to 5-6 liters on highways. For SUVs like the Boyue, being heavier, urban consumption can reach 9-10 liters, and 7-8 liters on highways is normal. Newer models like the Xingrui with a 1.5T engine have lower fuel consumption, typically hovering around 6-7 liters. If you frequently encounter traffic jams or use air conditioning, fuel consumption can jump up by a few points. For new drivers, it's advisable to use smooth acceleration and avoid frequent hard braking to save a significant amount on fuel. If possible, test drive at a 4S dealership to personally experience that the actual data isn't far from the official ratings— is quite honest in this regard. Regular maintenance, like keeping tire pressure from being too low, can also help with fuel consumption. Overall, it's at a mid-level among family cars.

I've tested quite a few models for fuel consumption, and it really seems heavily influenced by driving habits. When I drove an Emgrand on the highway at a steady 60 km/h, the fuel consumption was under 6 liters, but with frequent stops and starts in the city, it shot up to around 8 liters. SUVs like the Binyue, when carrying heavier loads, tend to have higher fuel consumption, easily reaching 10 liters. I recommend drivers develop good habits, such as using the air conditioning less frequently, regularly cleaning the air filter, and maintaining standard tire pressure, to keep fuel consumption within a normal range. Additionally, low temperatures or slippery roads in rainy weather increase resistance, adding about 0.5-1 liter to fuel consumption. Overall, Geely cars aren't the most fuel-efficient in their class, but they have lower maintenance costs, and changing the oil more frequently can extend engine efficiency. When choosing a car, refer to the WLTC certification data as a benchmark, and don't believe exaggerated claims online.

From a technical perspective, Geely's fuel consumption differences lie in the engine and vehicle weight. I've used a small-displacement 1.4T engine, achieving around 7L/100km in city driving and just over 5L/100km on highways. Larger vehicles like the Boyue, being heavier, consume nearly 10L/100km. Design-wise, lightweight body and low drag coefficient contribute significantly. Avoid full loads or installing oversized wheels to prevent increased fuel consumption. Daily use shows noticeable impacts from 10°C temperature variations or AC usage—remember these tips to better manage expenses.

I drive a Emgrand to take my kids to school, with a daily fuel consumption of 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, which feels quite reasonable. During summer when the air conditioning is on, the fuel consumption peaks at 9 liters; in winter, using the heater actually reduces the burden and saves fuel to around 6 liters. Among family cars, it offers good value for money, with a large fuel tank that allows for long-distance driving, but I recommend choosing a compact model over an SUV for much less hassle. Remember to perform regular maintenance and clean carbon deposits to keep the fuel consumption stable.

When considering fuel consumption, don't overlook environmental trends. My PHEV plug-in hybrid achieves zero fuel consumption in pure electric mode, averaging around 5 liters in pure fuel mode. Compared to traditional vehicles like the Borui which consumes over 8 liters, the advantage is evident. Driving mostly in eco mode and avoiding high RPMs helps maintain stable fuel consumption. Future EV adoption will further reduce these figures, but Geely's rapid progress is noteworthy at present.
