Geely GS: Overview

The Geely GS is a front-wheel-drive model offered in two generations in the supplied catalogue data. The first generation ran from August 2016 through February 2021 as an SUV 5-doors with six versions, including Gasoline and Electro powertrains. A restyled first generation followed in March 2021 as a Hatchback 5-door with two Gasoline versions.

Geely GS Generations

The first-generation Geely GS was produced from August 2016 to February 2021 with an SUV 5-doors body. Its six versions were 1.8 MT, 1.8 DCT, AT 61.9 kWh, AT 53.1 kWh, 1.4 MT, and 1.4 CVT.

The first-generation restyling began in March 2021 and has no measured end date in the data. It changed the catalogue body classification to Hatchback 5-door and included two versions: 1.4 CVT and 1.4 MT. Because this is a restyling, it belongs within the first-generation history rather than representing another generation.

The first-generation 1.8 MT and 1.8 DCT use a front, transverse Gasoline engine with distributed injection (multi-point). Each produces 133 hp at 6,000 rpm and 170 Nm at 4,400 rpm. Their principal difference is the transmission: 1.8 MT has a 6-speed Manual, while 1.8 DCT has a 6-speed Robotic gearbox.

The first-generation 1.4 MT and 1.4 CVT share a front, transverse, Turbo Gasoline engine with distributed injection (multi-point). Output is 141 hp at 5,200 rpm and 231 Nm from 1,600–4,000 rpm. The restyled 1.4 MT and 1.4 CVT retain 141 hp at 5,200 rpm but increase torque to 235 Nm across the same 1,600–4,000 rpm range.

The AT 61.9 kWh and AT 53.1 kWh are Electro versions. Each produces 165 hp and 250 Nm, uses a 1-speed Automatic transmission, and has FWD. Engine displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, boost status, power rpm, and torque rpm are not measured for these versions.

Among versions with measured acceleration, the AT 61.9 kWh and AT 53.1 kWh reach 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds. That is 0.4 seconds quicker than the 10.3-second result recorded for both 1.8 versions. A top speed is not measured for either Electro version.

The first-generation 1.4 MT and 1.4 CVT both have a measured top speed of 185 km/h, which is 5 km/h above the 180 km/h figure for 1.8 MT and 1.8 DCT. Acceleration is not measured for either 1.4 version, and neither acceleration nor top speed is measured for the restyled 1.4 CVT and 1.4 MT.

Both 1.4 CVT entries use 7.6 L/100 km in the city, 4 L/100 km on the highway, and 5.9 L/100 km combined. Both 1.4 MT entries use 8.2 L/100 km in the city, 4.8 L/100 km on the highway, and 5.9 L/100 km combined. The CVT therefore uses 0.6 L/100 km less in the city and 0.8 L/100 km less on the highway, while the measured combined figure is identical. Consumption for the 1.8 and Electro versions is not measured.

Geely GS Dimensions, Weight, and Ground Clearance

Overall exterior length, width, height, and wheelbase are not measured for any Geely GS version in the supplied data.

The lightest measured version is 1.8 MT at 1,280 kg. The 1.8 DCT weighs 60 kg more, while the first-generation 1.4 CVT weighs 40 kg more than 1.4 MT. AT 61.9 kWh and AT 53.1 kWh are the heaviest measured versions at 1,635 kg each.

The first-generation 1.4 MT and 1.4 CVT provide the greatest measured ground clearance at 185 mm. This is 5 mm more than the 1.8 versions and 25 mm more than the Electro versions. Tank capacity is 60 L for 1.8 MT and 1.8 DCT, while every 1.4 version has a 55 L tank. Tank capacity for the Electro versions is not measured.

All first-generation versions have independent, spring front suspension, ventilated disc front brakes, and disc rear brakes. Their listed wheel sizes are 225/50 R17 and 225/45 R18. The restyled versions retain independent, spring front suspension, while their wheel sizes are not measured.

Which Geely GS Version to Choose?

Choose the first-generation 1.8 MT if the lowest measured kerb weight and the larger measured fuel tank matter most: it weighs 1,280 kg and holds 60 L. The 1.8 DCT matches its 133 hp, 170 Nm, 10.3-second acceleration, 180 km/h top speed, and 180 mm clearance, but replaces the 6-speed Manual with a 6-speed Robotic gearbox and adds 60 kg.

Choose AT 61.9 kWh or AT 53.1 kWh for the strongest measured outputs and quickest measured acceleration. Both provide 165 hp, 250 Nm, and a 9.9-second 0–100 km/h time. Their recorded performance, 1,635 kg kerb weight, 160 mm clearance, FWD, and 1-speed Automatic specifications are otherwise identical; the catalogue distinguishes them by their AT 61.9 kWh and AT 53.1 kWh version names.

Choose a first-generation 1.4 version for the highest measured top speed and ground clearance: both 1.4 MT and 1.4 CVT reach 185 km/h and provide 185 mm. The 1.4 CVT records lower city and highway consumption, while 1.4 MT is 40 kg lighter and supplies a 6-speed Manual gearbox.

Choose a restyled 1.4 version if the Hatchback 5-door catalogue body and the later specification are priorities. Both restyled choices produce 141 hp and 235 Nm, giving them 4 Nm more torque than the earlier 1.4 versions. The choice is between the Variable transmission in 1.4 CVT and the 6-speed Manual in 1.4 MT. Prices, reliability records, and problems are not measured in the supplied data, so this catalogue cannot make factual comparisons on those points.
