Geely SC7: Which Version Should You Buy?
The Geely SC7 catalogue contains only one choice: the first-generation Sedan in the exact 1.8 MT version, produced from 2011 to 2015. It combines a 1,792 cc Gasoline engine with 127 hp and 172 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD.
The Geely SC7 catalogue contains only one choice: the first-generation Sedan in the exact 1.8 MT version, produced from 2011 to 2015. It combines a 1,792 cc Gasoline engine with 127 hp and 172 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD. Because there are no alternative engines, transmissions, body types, or generations in the supplied data, the buying decision is not about choosing between competing SC7 configurations. It is about deciding whether the specifications of the single 1.8 MT suit your requirements.
Geely SC7 generations compared
The Geely SC7 has one generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation was produced from 2011 to 2015 as a Sedan and contains one version, 1.8 MT. With no additional generation in the data, there is no newer or older SC7 generation to compare for changes in engine output, performance, drivetrain, weight, or body style.
There is likewise no separate restyling or second configuration listed within this generation. Therefore, a buyer looking specifically at the catalogue data encounters the same core specification throughout the stated production period: the 1.8 MT Sedan with a Gasoline engine, Manual transmission, and FWD.
Geely SC7 engine and specs
The 1.8 MT uses a 1,792 cc Gasoline engine producing 127 hp at 6,200 rpm and 172 Nm at 4,200 rpm. It has 4 cylinders in an Inline layout and 4 valves per cylinder. Boost is listed as No, while the fuel system is Distributed injection (multi-point). The specified fuel label is 92.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 MT | 127 hp at 6,200 rpm | 172 Nm at 4,200 rpm | 1,792 cc | Gasoline, 92 | 4 | Inline | No | 5-speed Manual | FWD |
Calculated from the supplied figures, the 1.8 MT develops about 70.9 hp per litre and 96.0 Nm per litre. Its kerb-weight-to-power ratio is about 9.83 kg per hp, or approximately 101.8 hp per tonne. These ratios do not create a comparison with another SC7 version, but they make the sole version easier to assess on its own terms.
No alternative engine is present in the catalogue. Consequently, choosing the SC7 does not involve trading engine size against output, selecting boosted rather than non-boosted induction, or paying for a different transmission and drive system.
Geely SC7 performance and mpg
The 1.8 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and has a top speed of 185 km/h. Those figures apply specifically to the 127 hp, 1,792 cc Gasoline version with the 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City fuel consumption | Highway fuel consumption | Combined fuel consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 MT | 7.9 seconds | 185 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
City, highway, and combined fuel-consumption figures are not measured in the supplied data, so an mpg comparison cannot be made. CO₂ output is also not measured. This means the 1.8 MT can be compared using its recorded acceleration and top speed, but not by catalogue economy or emissions.
Geely SC7 dimensions, weight, and capacity
The supplied data records the mass and several practical chassis figures for the 1.8 MT, but it does not provide the car’s exterior length, width, or height.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.8 MT | 1,248 kg | 1,610 kg | 160 mm | 50 litres | not measured |
The difference between gross and kerb weight is 362 kg. Ground clearance is 160 mm, and the fuel tank holds 50 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured, so they should be verified separately for any individual car rather than inferred from the model name or production year.
The chassis specification lists Independent, spring front suspension and Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear suspension. Both the front and rear brakes are recorded as ventilated discs in the supplied English labels.
Geely SC7 reliability and problems
Reliability records and known-problem data are not measured in the supplied information. No failure rates, service intervals, repair histories, or component-life figures are available, so the catalogue cannot support a claim that the 1.8 MT is more or less reliable than another version.
For the same reason, production year alone should not be treated as evidence of mechanical condition. A used-car assessment would require information that is not present here, including the individual vehicle’s maintenance and inspection history.
Which Geely SC7 version should you choose?
Choose the 1.8 MT if you want the specification represented by this catalogue: a first-generation Sedan with a 1,792 cc Gasoline engine, 127 hp, 172 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD. Its measured performance is 7.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed of 185 km/h. It also provides 160 mm of ground clearance, a 50-litre tank, and a 362 kg difference between kerb and gross weight.
There is no second SC7 version or generation in the data that offers more power, an alternative gearbox, another drive type, or a different body. Accordingly, no extra money can be tied to a measurable upgrade within this catalogue, and there is no numeric basis for recommending one SC7 configuration over another.
The practical conclusion is straightforward: the 1.8 MT is both the only listed choice and the version to buy if its fixed specification matches your priorities. If automatic transmission, another drivetrain, a different engine, or documented fuel-economy figures are essential, the supplied SC7 range provides no alternative against which to compare them.
