Which Geely Tugella Version Should You Buy?

The Geely Tugella version to choose depends mainly on whether you prioritize lower stated fuel consumption, maximum power, or the combination of a conventional Gasoline engine and AWD.

The Geely Tugella version to choose depends mainly on whether you prioritize lower stated fuel consumption, maximum power, or the combination of a conventional Gasoline engine and AWD. The original SUV Coupe range, produced from August 2020, offers five versions: the 177 hp 1.5 300T DCT, two 258 hp Plug-in variants named 1.5 400T DCT 11.3 kWh and 1.5 400T DCT 15.2 kWh, and two 238 hp versions of the 2.0 350T AT, one with AWD and one with FWD. The restyling introduced in September 2022 reduces the choice to one 238 hp AWD version, 2.0 i T AT. For buyers comparing only verified catalogue figures, the original 2.0 350T AT 4WD is the most fully documented conventional AWD option, the Plug-in versions provide the greatest power, and the FWD 2.0 350T AT has the lowest measured combined consumption among the Gasoline versions.

Geely Tugella generations and version choice

The first-generation Geely Tugella has been produced since August 2020 as an SUV Coupe. Its original range contains five versions, giving buyers a choice between Gasoline and Plug-in power, Robotic and Automatic gearboxes, and AWD or FWD. All five use a front, transverse Turbo engine with Direct injection (direct), independent spring suspension at both ends, Ventilated disc front brakes, and Disc rear brakes.

The first-generation restyling has been produced since September 2022, also as an SUV Coupe. It contains one version, 2.0 i T AT, with a 2000 cc Gasoline engine, 238 hp, an 8-speed Automatic gearbox, and AWD. The data therefore shows a major simplification after restyling: five original versions become one listed version. It does not provide prices or equipment specifications, so it cannot establish what any additional purchase cost buys in features, cabin equipment, or convenience.

The two original 1969 cc 2.0 350T AT versions have identical stated engine output: 238 hp and 350 Nm. Their important catalogue difference is drive layout. 2.0 350T AT 4WD uses AWD, whereas 2.0 350T AT uses FWD. The AWD version also has a measured kerb weight of 1740 kg, which is 70 kg more than the FWD version’s 1670 kg.

The 1.5 300T DCT gives up 61 hp and 95 Nm to either 2.0 350T AT version. In exchange, it uses the smaller 1477 cc engine, although no consumption or weight measurement is supplied for this version. Its specific output is about 119.8 hp per litre, compared with about 120.9 hp per litre for the 1969 cc 2.0 350T AT versions.

Both Plug-in choices produce 258 hp, which is 20 hp more than the 238 hp Gasoline versions and 81 hp more than 1.5 300T DCT. Based on 1477 cc, their specific output is about 174.7 hp per litre. The two Plug-in versions have the same recorded power, torque, engine configuration, gearbox, and AWD system; the differentiating catalogue figures are the 11.3 kWh and 15.2 kWh values in their exact names and their measured combined consumption.

The restyled 2.0 i T AT retains 238 hp and AWD but uses a recorded displacement of 2000 cc rather than the earlier AWD version’s 1969 cc. That is a 31 cc increase in listed displacement, with no increase in listed power. Torque, engine-speed figures, consumption, weight, clearance, and tank capacity are not measured for the restyled version, so the data does not support a broader claim that it is faster, more economical, or more capable.

Performance, fuel consumption, and mpg data

Acceleration from 0–100 km/h is not measured for any Geely Tugella version in the supplied data.

Among the conventional Gasoline versions with measured combined consumption, the FWD 2.0 350T AT records 7.5 L/100 km, while 2.0 350T AT 4WD records 8.1 L/100 km. The difference is 0.6 L/100 km in favor of the FWD version. The AWD car’s measured city and highway figures differ by 5.1 L/100 km, at 11.4 and 6.3 L/100 km respectively.

The Plug-in 1.5 400T DCT 11.3 kWh records 1.2 L/100 km combined, which is 0.4 L/100 km lower than the 1.6 L/100 km of 1.5 400T DCT 15.2 kWh. Both have the same 258 hp, 254 Nm, AWD, and 195 km/h measured top speed. The data does not include the conditions behind these consumption measurements, so the figures should be compared as catalogue values rather than treated as guaranteed real-world results. MPG is not measured directly.

Both original 2.0 350T AT versions have the highest measured top speed at 210 km/h, 15 km/h above the Plug-in versions’ 195 km/h. The 1.5 300T DCT and restyled 2.0 i T AT have no measured top-speed figures.

Geely Tugella dimensions, weight, clearance, and tank size

Exterior dimensions and overall vehicle size are not measured for any version. Gross weight and wheel sizes are also not measured throughout the range.

For the two versions with measured weight, 2.0 350T AT 4WD carries approximately 7.31 kg per horsepower, while the FWD 2.0 350T AT carries approximately 7.02 kg per horsepower. Because both produce 238 hp, the FWD version has the better measured weight-to-power relationship. Ground clearance is identical at 204 mm, and both have a 54 L tank.

Which Geely Tugella version should you buy?

Choose 2.0 350T AT 4WD if you want the best-documented combination of Gasoline power, AWD, and conventional Automatic transmission. Its specification includes 238 hp, 350 Nm, a 210 km/h top speed, 8.1 L/100 km combined consumption, 1740 kg kerb weight, 204 mm clearance, and a 54 L tank. That unusually complete data set makes it the easiest version to assess without relying on assumptions.

Choose 2.0 350T AT if FWD suits your needs and the measured efficiency and weight advantages matter more than AWD. It matches 2.0 350T AT 4WD at 238 hp, 350 Nm, and 210 km/h, but is 70 kg lighter and uses 0.6 L/100 km less in the measured combined figure. Its approximately 7.02 kg/hp ratio is also better than the AWD version’s approximately 7.31 kg/hp.

Choose 1.5 400T DCT 11.3 kWh if maximum listed power and the lowest measured combined consumption are the priorities. It produces 258 hp and records 1.2 L/100 km combined. That gives it 20 hp more than either original 2.0 350T AT and a 0.4 L/100 km advantage over 1.5 400T DCT 15.2 kWh in the stated combined figure. The data does not provide price, electric range, charging performance, or kerb weight, so it cannot show the financial or practical trade-off behind that result.

Choose 1.5 400T DCT 15.2 kWh only when factors outside this dataset justify it. It matches 1.5 400T DCT 11.3 kWh at 258 hp, 254 Nm, 195 km/h, and AWD, but its measured combined consumption is higher at 1.6 L/100 km. No electric-range or charging figures are available to explain the significance of the different kWh designation.

Choose 1.5 300T DCT if its 1477 cc Gasoline engine and 7-speed Robotic AWD configuration specifically fit your requirement. It is the least powerful option at 177 hp, while fuel consumption, top speed, weight, and clearance are not measured. Those omissions prevent a numerical case that its smaller engine makes it more economical or lighter.

Choose the restyled 2.0 i T AT if you specifically want the version introduced in September 2022 and prefer its single 238 hp, 2000 cc, 8-speed Automatic AWD configuration. However, the original 2.0 350T AT 4WD is more transparent as a catalogue decision because it supplies measured torque, top speed, consumption, weight, clearance, and tank capacity. The restyled car’s corresponding figures are not measured.

Price, interior specifications, engine-oil capacity, reliability, problems, and check-engine-light diagnostics are absent from the supplied data. No evidence-based Qatar, UAE, model-year price, or Geely Tugella vs Manjaro verdict can therefore be given. On the available numbers alone, 2.0 350T AT 4WD is the balanced conventional AWD choice, 2.0 350T AT is the lighter and more economical measured Gasoline choice, and 1.5 400T DCT 11.3 kWh is the strongest and lowest-consuming measured Plug-in choice.
