Geely Preface

Geely Preface generations: what actually changed

Searches for Geely Preface I-HEV, hybrid specs, TCR, GF, L90, 2026 engine, or 2027 engine do not match a second row in this dataset. Those names are not versions here. The only version name to use as a page anchor is 2.0 DCT, twice, distinguished by generation dates because power is identical.

1 generation (start 2020-08-01, stop 2022-06-30) is a Sedan with 1 version: 2.0 DCT. That 2.0 DCT is Gasoline, 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95, Robotic 7, FWD. Independent, spring suspension front and rear. Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes. Modification start 2020-08-01; modification stop not measured in the row, while the generation itself stops 2022-06-30.

1 generation, restyling (start 2022-07-01, stop not measured) is still a Sedan with 1 version, still named 2.0 DCT. Horsepower stays 190. Kilowatts stay 139. Peak rpm stays 4700. Torque stays 300 Nm in the same 1400-4000 window. Displacement stays 1969 cm³. Fuel type stays Gasoline. Cylinders stay 4 Inline. Boost stays Turbo. Layout stays Front, transverse. Injection stays Direct injection (direct). Gearbox stays Robotic with 7 speeds. Drive stays FWD. Consumption stays 9 / 5.5 / 6.7. Tank stays 50 L. Kerb weight stays 1500 kg. Suspension and brake labels are unchanged. Arithmetic on the two rows: 190 − 190 = 0 hp, 300 − 300 = 0 Nm, 1969 − 1969 = 0 cm³, 1500 − 1500 = 0 kg, 6.7 − 6.7 = 0 L/100 km mixed. The restyling is a calendar cut, not a powertrain cut.

Searches for Geely Preface I-HEV, hybrid specs, TCR, GF, L90, 2026 engine, or 2027 engine do not match a second row in this dataset. Those names are not versions here. The only version name to use as a page anchor is 2.0 DCT, twice, distinguished by generation dates because power is identical.

Geely Preface engine specs (both 2.0 DCT rows)

Engine size in litres: 1969 / 1000 = 1.969 L. Specific output: 190 / 1.969 ≈ 96.5 hp per litre. Specific torque: 300 / 1.969 ≈ 152.4 Nm per litre. Power in kW per litre: 139 / 1.969 ≈ 70.6 kW/L. Peak power arrives at 4700 rpm; peak torque is already available from 1400 rpm, so the torque band width in the data is 4000 − 1400 = 2600 rpm. That band is the same on both 2.0 DCT rows.

Valves per cylinder: 4. With 4 cylinders that is 4 × 4 = 16 valves in total (product of two figures that are in the data). Compression ratio: not measured. Bore × stroke: not measured. Engine oil capacity: not measured (common search, no figure here). The restyling 2.0 DCT does not change any of those blanks.

Horsepower is 190 on both cars. There is no second 2.0 DCT with a different hp figure to split the way some catalogues split two identical names. Distinguish them as 2.0 DCT of 1 generation versus 2.0 DCT of 1 generation, restyling.

Performance, mpg, fuel economy

0–100 km/h: not measured on either 2.0 DCT. Top speed: not measured on either 2.0 DCT. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured. Do not treat those gaps as “the Preface has no 0–100”; they are unmeasured in this source.

What is measured is fuel use. City 9 L/100 km, highway 5.5, mixed 6.7, identical on both versions. City minus highway: 9 − 5.5 = 3.5 L/100 km. Mixed sits 9 − 6.7 = 2.3 below city and 6.7 − 5.5 = 1.2 above highway. Relative to mixed, city is 9 / 6.7 ≈ 1.34 times thirstier; highway is 5.5 / 6.7 ≈ 0.82 of mixed.

Tank 50 L. Implied range from those three rates (distance = tank / rate × 100): city 50 / 9 × 100 ≈ 556 km; mixed 50 / 6.7 × 100 ≈ 746 km; highway 50 / 5.5 × 100 ≈ 909 km. Restyling does not change tank or rates, so it does not change those ranges.

Weight-to-power: 1500 / 190 ≈ 7.89 kg per hp. Power-to-weight: 190 / 1500 ≈ 0.127 hp per kg, or 190 / 1.5 ≈ 126.7 hp per tonne. Same on both 2.0 DCT cars. Without a measured 0–100, that ratio is the only performance density in the file.

Dimensions, weight, ground clearance

Kerb weight: 1500 kg on both 2.0 DCT rows. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Wheel sizes: not measured. Length, width, height, wheelbase (including L90-style dimension queries): not measured.

Tank 50 L is the only capacity figure besides kerb mass. Front suspension Independent, spring; rear Independent, spring — same both sides, same both generations. Front brakes Ventilated disc; rear Disc. Nothing in the restyling row changes mass, clearance, or wheels, because those fields are either equal or not measured on both.

Which version to choose

There is one mechanical offer: 2.0 DCT, FWD Sedan, Gasoline Turbo Inline 4, 1969 cm³, 190 hp, 300 Nm, Robotic 7, 1500 kg, 9 / 5.5 / 6.7 L/100 km, 50 L tank.

Choose 1 generation 2.0 DCT (2020-08-01 to 2022-06-30) if you need the earlier production window. You do not give up horsepower versus the later car: 190 hp equals 190 hp. You do not give up torque: 300 Nm equals 300 Nm. You do not give up a gear: 7 equals 7. You do not give up a driven axle: FWD equals FWD. You do not save kerb weight: 1500 kg equals 1500 kg. You do not save mixed fuel: 6.7 equals 6.7. Specific output stays ≈ 96.5 hp/L. Kg per hp stays ≈ 7.89. The extra calendar years on the restyling do not, in this dataset, buy a second motor.

Choose 1 generation, restyling 2.0 DCT (from 2022-07-01) if you need the later window and an open end date (stop not measured). You do not gain hp, Nm, litres, gears, or a hybrid system in these rows. “What the extra money buys” cannot be priced here — prices are not in the data — and cannot be expressed as extra kW, because 139 − 139 = 0. The restyling is the same 2.0 DCT specification with a later start stamp.

Do not choose a hybrid, I-HEV, TCR, GF, or L90 from this catalogue. Those queries exist in search; they are not versions in the source. Do not choose a second gearbox or AWD: only Robotic 7 and FWD are listed. Do not choose by 0–100 or top speed: both not measured. Do not choose by oil capacity or exterior millimetres: both not measured.

If both cars are the same year in your market, the numbers do not break the tie. Break it on condition, equipment, and which generation label is on the car — not on a phantom extra 10 hp. If you must pick one line from the file when both 2.0 DCT examples are healthy, the restyling is the one still in production (stop not measured); the first window is closed at 2022-06-30. That is a production-status difference, not an engine-spec difference.

Interior is not measured as a numeric field here. Reliability and typical problems are not in this dataset. UAE or Philippines price is not in this dataset. Review scores are not in this dataset. The honest buyer’s summary is: one engine, two dates, zero arithmetic gain on power, mass, or mpg between them.
