2 Answers
Chery E5 has a total vehicle weight ranging between 1,285-1,336kg. It is a 5-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of 4580*1760*1483mm. In the same class, the 2021 Buick Excelle GT has a total weight of 1,270kg, while the 2019 Buick Envision weighs 1,265kg. In terms of powertrain, the 2014 Chery E5 offers six models: CVT Youyue, Manual Zhiyue, Manual Xinyue, CVT Zhuoyue Sunroof, Manual Zhuoyue Sunroof, and Manual Youyue. These are equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Other models come with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. All engines are 4-cylinder, and the drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. For other features, some or all 2014 Chery E5 models are equipped with driver/passenger airbags, front/rear head airbags (curtains), ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, and drive mode selection. It's worth noting that the Chery E5 features an arched roofline design, uses 195/55R15 tires (same as the Chery Fulwin 3), and has a black trim panel along the lower side skirts. High-end production models come with stylish 7-spoke alloy wheels, mid-range models have 5-spoke designs, and entry-level versions use steel wheels, borrowing design cues from the early Chery A3.
I remember the weight of the Chery E5 is approximately 1,260 kg, which is an estimate of the kerb weight, and there might be slight variations depending on the configuration. I've driven this car and felt the weight was quite appropriate. It feels very stable on the highway without any sense of floating, which is good for safety. However, fuel consumption in the city is slightly higher, averaging about 8 liters per 100 km. If you frequently drive long distances, the weight combined with its chassis tuning provides good handling, and it doesn’t feel too cumbersome when turning. Just be careful when parking, as the weight makes it less agile. Additionally, during maintenance, check the tires and suspension—heavier cars wear these parts out faster. Regular oil changes and inspections can extend their lifespan.
