What is the fuel consumption of the Emgrand GS?
4 Answers
Emgrand GS has a total of 6 models. Among them, the 2020 models - 1.4T-CVT Dynamic, CVT Elegance, Manual Elegance, and Manual Elegance Life, are equipped with a 141 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. The 2020 models - 1.5TD-DCT Dynamic-260T and Dynamic Pro-260T, are equipped with a 177 horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.1L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of the Emgrand GS is 55L. The distance that different models can travel with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 141 horsepower engine can travel 55/5.9*100=932km with a full tank of fuel. Models equipped with a 177 horsepower engine can travel 55/6.1*100=901km with a full tank of fuel. Specific factors that can increase the fuel consumption of a car are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement engines generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement engines because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
My family drives a Geely Emgrand GS 1.4T automatic version for daily urban commuting. When I first got the car, I specifically tested the fuel consumption - it was about 8.2L/100km in city driving with AC on during summer, and could drop to 6.3L/100km during highway cruising. In winter, the consumption increases slightly by around 0.5L. With its 53-liter fuel tank, a full tank can easily cover 600km. I recommend maintaining proper tire pressure and changing spark plugs every 20,000km to keep fuel efficiency optimal. Last time I took a long trip with full family luggage, the onboard computer showed only 7.1L/100km, which is quite economical.
Having repaired cars for ten years, I've handled quite a few Emgrand GS models. The fuel consumption data for the manual transmission 1.8L version is very stable, ranging from 7.5 to 8.8 liters for urban commuting, and can reach 9 liters in particularly congested conditions. It's normal for new cars to have higher fuel consumption before the first maintenance; it stabilizes after running about 5,000 kilometers. One owner complained about high fuel consumption, and after inspection, we found a faulty oxygen sensor. After replacement, the consumption immediately dropped by 1 liter. The engine and transmission of this car are well-matched, so it's advisable not to modify the intake system arbitrarily as it may affect fuel consumption stability. Regular cleaning of the throttle valve also helps.
I chose the Emgrand GS primarily for its fuel efficiency, having driven the 1.4T automatic version for three years. Here are my real-world consumption figures for reference: average 6.8L/100km on urban expressways, 9.1L during rush hour traffic, and just 5.9L when cruising at 120km/h on highways. During the break-in period, avoid sudden acceleration for optimal post-first-maintenance fuel economy. On a recent countryside trip, mountain climbing spiked consumption to 10.2L temporarily before returning to normal on flat roads. For cost savings, regular 92-octane gasoline works perfectly fine – no need to insist on premium 95-octane.
