Geely GC6: which version to buy
There is only one catalogue version of the Geely GC6: 1.5 MT. Production covers one generation (May 2014–March 2017), one body (Sedan), and one powertrain. The buying question is not “which sibling to pick,” because no second engine, gearbox, or drive layout is listed.
There is only one catalogue version of the Geely GC6: 1.5 MT. Production covers one generation (May 2014–March 2017), one body (Sedan), and one powertrain. The buying question is not “which sibling to pick,” because no second engine, gearbox, or drive layout is listed. It is whether 1.5 MT matches what you need on the numbers that exist: 94 hp, 128 Nm, 1498 cc, Manual 5, FWD, 1178 kg kerb, 165 km/h top speed, mixed 6.8 L/100 km, 45 L tank, 150 mm ground clearance. Acceleration 0–100, CO2, eco class, wheel sizes, and cylinder bore/stroke are not measured.
Specs that decide the only version
1.5 MT is a Gasoline inline-4, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 9.8, fuel 92. Peak 94 hp (69 kW) at 6000 rpm and 128 Nm at 3400 rpm. Gearbox Manual, 5 speeds. Drive FWD.
| Version | hp | Nm | cc | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 MT | 94 | 128 | 1498 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
There is no automatic, no turbo, no AWD, and no second displacement in this model line. If the search is “Geely GC6 automatic,” “Geely GC6 diesel,” or “Geely GC6 AWD,” those configurations are not in the data.
Engine: power per litre and where torque sits
Specific output for 1.5 MT is 94 hp / 1.498 L ≈ 62.8 hp per litre, and 128 Nm / 1.498 L ≈ 85.4 Nm per litre. Those figures describe a naturally aspirated 1498 cc Gasoline engine with boost No, not a high-output unit. Peak torque is at 3400 rpm; peak power is at 6000 rpm. The gap is 2600 rpm: the engine is specified to keep climbing well after the torque peak.
Compression 9.8 and fuel 92 belong together in the data: the catalogue does not list a higher-octane requirement. Injection is Distributed injection (multi-point), not a different system. Bore and stroke are not measured, so displacement 1498 cc is the size figure you have; do not infer cylinder dimensions.
Compared with a hypothetical second Geely GC6 version, there is nothing to subtract. The only arithmetic that is valid inside this model is internal to 1.5 MT.
Performance, mpg, and what is not measured
0–100 km/h for 1.5 MT is not measured. Do not treat that blank as “slow” or “fast”; the catalogue simply has no figure.
Top speed is 165 km/h. That is the only speed rating in the file.
Fuel use:
- city 7.8 L/100 km
- highway 6.3 L/100 km
- mixed 6.8 L/100 km
City is 1.5 L/100 km above highway (7.8 − 6.3). Mixed sits 0.5 L/100 km above highway and 1.0 L/100 km below city. Tank 45 L at mixed 6.8 L/100 km gives a calculated range of 45 / 6.8 × 100 ≈ 662 km on the mixed figure; at city 7.8 that is ≈ 577 km; at highway 6.3 ≈ 714 km. Those ranges are arithmetic on listed litres, not extra test data.
CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. If you are shopping on emissions paperwork, this catalogue row does not supply it.
Dimensions, weight, and kg per horsepower
Kerb weight 1178 kg, gross 1478 kg. Payload from those two numbers is 1478 − 1178 = 300 kg. Weight per horsepower is 1178 / 94 ≈ 12.5 kg/hp. Gross per horsepower is 1478 / 94 ≈ 15.7 kg/hp. Ground clearance 150 mm. Tank 45 L. Wheel sizes are not measured.
Front suspension Independent, spring; rear Semi-independent, spring. Front brakes Disc; rear brakes Disc. There is no second chassis spec to compare: every GC6 in this data set uses that combination.
If you need a figure for tyre size or rolling diameter, it is not measured. Clearance 150 mm is the only listed ground-clearance number for the generation.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
Generation 1 ran 2014-05-01 to 2017-03-31, body Sedan, 1 modification. There is no restyling generation and no generation 2 in the data. Production length from those dates is 34 months (May 2014 through March 2017).
Because modifikaciy is 1, “which generation changed what” has a short answer: nothing in the powertrain table changed between years. Start and stop of 1.5 MT are the same as the generation (2014-05-01 to 2017-03-31). You are not choosing between an early 90 hp car and a late 100 hp car; hp stays 94, Nm stays 128, gearbox stays Manual 5, drive stays FWD.
Which version to choose
Choose 1.5 MT if you want the only Geely GC6 that exists in this catalogue: Sedan, Gasoline 1498 cc inline-4, 94 hp, 128 Nm, Manual 5, FWD, 1178 kg, mixed 6.8 L/100 km, 165 km/h, 150 mm clearance, 45 L tank, fuel 92.
Do not look for another GC6 version in this model for more power, an automatic, all-wheel drive, or a different body. Those rows are not present. A second version would be a different model key, not a second line under GC6.
Practical filter using the numbers:
1. Transmission. Manual 5 only. If you will not shift, this version is the wrong car, not the wrong trim of the right car. 2. Power vs mass. 12.5 kg/hp and 128 Nm at 3400 rpm. With 0–100 not measured, the honest performance statement is top speed 165 km/h plus those mass and torque figures. 3. Fuel. Mixed 6.8, tank 45 L, calculated mixed range ~662 km. City/highway spread is 1.5 L/100 km. 4. Load. 300 kg between kerb and gross. 5. Height. 150 mm clearance. 6. Wheels and 0–100. Not measured — if a dealer quotes them, they are outside this dataset.
“What the extra money buys” cannot be answered between GC6 versions, because there is no extra version. Any price gap you see in the market is condition, mileage, and equipment not listed here, not a factory step from 1.5 MT to another factory code.
Reliability and problems (what the specs do and do not tell you)
This catalogue does not list failure rates, recalls, or owner-fault frequencies. Reliability talk that invents them would be outside the data.
What the specs do fix: one engine architecture (Gasoline, 4 Inline, boost No, multi-point, compression 9.8, 92 fuel), one gearbox (Manual 5), one drive (FWD), disc brakes both ends, independent spring front and semi-independent spring rear, 1178/1478 kg, 45 L tank. A used 1.5 MT from 2014 and one from 2017 share that same mechanical description in the file. Production stopped 2017-03-31; there is no later GC6 generation here to “buy the facelift.”

Bottom line
The Geely GC6 buying decision collapses to a yes/no on 1.5 MT: 94 hp, 128 Nm, 1498 cc Gasoline Inline 4, boost No, Manual 5, FWD, Sedan, 2014–2017, 1178 kg, 6.8 L/100 km mixed, 165 km/h. There is no second version to spend “extra money” on inside this model. If those numbers fit, this is the car; if you need an automatic, more than 94 hp, or a measured 0–100, this catalogue does not contain another GC6 that supplies them.
