Geely Emgrand EV: Which Version Should You Buy?
The choice between the two Geely Emgrand EV versions is straightforward: the original AT offers 129 hp and 250 Nm, while the restyled AT 62 kWh raises output to 164 hp without changing the listed torque, acceleration, top speed, kerb weight, ground clearance, transmission, or drive layout. That gives the AT 62 kWh 35 hp more power—a gain of about 27%—and a better weight-to-power ratio.

That gives the AT 62 kWh 35 hp more power—a gain of about 27%—and a better weight-to-power ratio. Buyers prioritizing the stronger specification should choose the AT 62 kWh; the AT remains the alternative for anyone who does not need the additional output. Price figures, driving range, charging times, reliability ratings, and reported problems are not measured in the supplied data, so they cannot be used to rank the versions.
Geely Emgrand EV generations and version differences
The Geely Emgrand EV catalogue covers one generation in two forms: the original model and its restyling. Both are Sedan models, and each form contains one version.
The original 1 generation ran from November 2015 through December 2017. Its sole Sedan version is the AT, an Electro model with 129 hp, 94 kW, and 250 Nm. It uses a 1-speed Automatic gearbox and FWD.
The 1 generation, restyling began in May 2018, with no stop date measured. Its sole Sedan version is the AT 62 kWh, rated at 164 hp, 120 kW, and 250 Nm. It also uses a 1-speed Automatic gearbox and FWD. Consequently, searches for a Geely Emgrand EV 2018 can refer to the restyled car from May onward, while a Geely Emgrand EV 2019 falls within the listed restyled production period.
The measured change introduced by the restyling is higher output. Compared with the AT, the AT 62 kWh adds 35 hp and 26 kW, equivalent to roughly 27% more power in either unit. Torque remains 250 Nm, so there is no measured torque advantage. The supplied data do not identify EV300, EV450, EV500, or EV Pro as separate versions; the exact catalogue version names are AT and AT 62 kWh.
Geely Emgrand EV engine and specs
Both versions use an Electro power unit, so engine displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured. The complete powertrain comparison is:
| Generation and version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 generation — AT | 129 hp / 94 kW | 250 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | 1-speed Automatic | FWD |
| 1 generation, restyling — AT 62 kWh | 164 hp / 120 kW | 250 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | 1-speed Automatic | FWD |
Because displacement is not measured for either Electro version, power per litre cannot be calculated responsibly. Any litres-based comparison would require a displacement number absent from the data.
The AT 62 kWh produces approximately 1.27 times the horsepower of the AT. Torque per tonne is identical because both cars have 250 Nm and a 1,570 kg kerb weight: each provides about 159 Nm per tonne. Power per tonne differs more clearly. The AT delivers about 82 hp per tonne, whereas the AT 62 kWh delivers about 104 hp per tonne.
Geely Emgrand EV performance, economy, and mpg
Despite the output difference, the measured performance figures are identical. Both the AT and AT 62 kWh accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds and have a top speed of 140 km/h. The data therefore show no measured acceleration or maximum-speed gain from the extra 35 hp.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 9.3 seconds | 140 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
| AT 62 kWh | 9.3 seconds | 140 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured for either version, so no mpg comparison is possible. Electric driving range, battery usable capacity, and charging time are also not measured. Although AT 62 kWh is the exact database version name, the data do not provide enough battery detail to infer range or charging performance from that name.
Geely Emgrand EV dimensions and weight
Both versions have the same measured kerb weight and ground clearance. Gross weight, tank capacity, and wheel sizes are not measured.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 1,570 kg | not measured | 120 mm | not measured | not measured |
| AT 62 kWh | 1,570 kg | not measured | 120 mm | not measured | not measured |
The shared 1,570 kg kerb weight makes weight per horsepower a useful comparison. The AT carries about 12.2 kg for each horsepower. The AT 62 kWh reduces that figure to about 9.6 kg per horsepower, an improvement of roughly 2.6 kg per horsepower. In other words, the restyled version combines the same measured mass with greater output.
Chassis specifications are also shared. Both versions have Independent, spring front suspension and Semi-independent rear suspension. Both use Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes. The listed 120 mm ground clearance is unchanged.
Geely Emgrand EV reliability and problems
Reliability records, fault frequencies, repair histories, warranty information, and owner-reported problems are not measured in the supplied data. It is therefore not possible to claim that either the AT or AT 62 kWh is more reliable.
The available specifications do show substantial mechanical commonality: both versions have Electro power, 250 Nm, a 1-speed Automatic gearbox, FWD, the same suspension categories, the same brake categories, a 1,570 kg kerb weight, and 120 mm ground clearance. However, shared specifications alone do not prove shared reliability.
Which Geely Emgrand EV version should you buy?
Choose the restyled AT 62 kWh if power is the deciding factor. It offers 164 hp instead of 129 hp, gaining 35 hp with no measured increase over the AT car’s 1,570 kg kerb weight. Its approximately 104 hp per tonne and 9.6 kg per horsepower compare favorably with the AT at approximately 82 hp per tonne and 12.2 kg per horsepower.
Choose the original AT only if its lower output is acceptable and another verifiable factor favors the specific car being considered. On the supplied specifications alone, it does not gain an advantage in torque, acceleration, top speed, kerb weight, clearance, gearbox, drive, suspension, or brakes. Its 250 Nm, 9.3-second 0–100 km/h time, 140 km/h top speed, 1,570 kg kerb weight, and 120 mm ground clearance all match the AT 62 kWh.
No conclusion about value for money can be made because Geely Emgrand EV prices are not measured. The data likewise provide no basis for comparing range, charging, economy, reliability, or problems. Based strictly on the measurable differences, the AT 62 kWh is the stronger choice because it supplies about 27% more power at the same listed weight while preserving every other available performance and chassis figure.
