Fuel consumption is one of the main issues when buying any car. The Chinese Geely Emgrand x7 tries to keep fuel consumption within a more or less realistic framework so as not to cause displeasure of the owners.
Engine Options
For all Geely Emgrand x7, the manufacturer puts engines on 16 valves. Volume may vary:
- 1.8 l - 127 hp
- 2 l - 139 hp
- 2.4 l - 158 hp
There is a system that changes the phases of fuel distribution, so power characteristics and gasoline economy are successfully combined. The gearbox can be either manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive, unfortunately, is present in all models without the addition of a rear-wheel drive.
Passport fuel consumption
On Geely Emgrand x7, the fuel consumption indicated in her passport depends entirely on the engine size and its power. With a 1.8 liter engine, the mixed one is 8.4 liters per 100 km. On the highway, it drops to 8 liters, and in the city it rises to 9 liters.
If there is a two-liter, then the mixed consumption rises to 8.8 liters, the highway - 8.2 liters, the city - 9.2 liters.
With a 2.4-liter engine, you will have at least 8.6 liters on the highway, 9 liters on a mixed route and 9.6 liters on city roads.
According to the owners
As you know, passport and technical specifications are one thing, and facts are quite another. Often, car owners complain that the excessive consumption of gasoline is significant compared to the agreed manufacturer. However, in the case of Geely Emgrand x7, the reviews of the owners are so far unanimous: the real consumption not only corresponds to the indicated one, but in some cases even turns out to be slightly lower than the agreed one.
How to avoid high fuel consumption
Since overspending is quite common, drivers are constantly looking for ways to reduce it as much as possible. Here are some simple tips for this.
All reasons can be conditionally divided into subjective and objective types. The objective ones include the failure of any components or parts that are no longer capable of performing their functions.
But the subjective ones can be attributed to those that can be easily minimized. Many drivers of Geely Emgrand x7 do not pay attention to such trifles, but increase consumption:
- Full power air conditioner - 15%
- Lowered windows when driving over 50 km / h - 4%
- Driving with headlights on - 5%
- Driving on an engine that has not yet had time to warm up - 12%
- Low tire pressure and wide rims - 4%
- Car overload for every 100 kg of weight - 10%, etc.

Do you have any suspicions that yours “eats” too much gasoline? This article is an overview and will help you solve this problem. The first thing usually done in such situations is to replace the air filter. Next, a long-term monitoring of the temperature of the coolant is carried out. In the case when it is below the middle, there can be no question of fuel economy.
Let's start with perhaps 1.8 liter engine. The votes were distributed as follows:
1) 30 people voted 7-8 liters per 100 km;
2) for 8-10 liters. — 63 owners of Emgrand;
3) 11-12 liters \ 100km - 41 people;
4) over 13 liters per hundred voted 17 people (most likely they need to contact the service station for inspection).
Concerning engine 1.5 l. Geely Emgrand the situation is more obvious:
1) the category of 7-8 liters per 100 km was chosen by 15 motorists;
2) 52 people voted for the option of 9-10 liters/100km;
3) 11-12 liters. 28 owners of the "miracle" of the Chinese were noted per hundred;
4) over 13 liters are consumed by only 4% of all voters.
Information was also found from Chinese colleagues who measured the fuel consumption of Geely Emgrand. Their results stopped at around 8.9 liters per 100 km for a 1.5 liter engine. In the case, then the fuel consumption should also change (most likely upwards).
How to avoid high fuel consumption?
1) A car requires regular maintenance, because when it is out of order, it consumes 10% more and it doesn’t matter if it is gasoline or not.
2) Tire pressure. According to statistics, up to 70% of all motorists in Russia drive on wheels with low pressure. Reducing the pressure from 2.0 kg/cm2 to 1.5 kg/cm2 leads to a 3% increase in fuel consumption.
3) Proper wheel alignment - "alignment". This procedure must be carried out without fail and on time.
4) The fourth place is occupied by the transportation of excess cargo. Every 50 kg of excess weight increases consumption by an average of 2%.
5) A working air conditioner, as everyone knows, increases fuel consumption by about 10%.
6) Open windows and naturally driving style also affect fuel consumption.
Hello everyone! It’s been a week now that I’ve been riding the EC7, to be honest, the result exceeded expectations. Indeed, this is a spacious comfortable car. From what the manufacturer suggested, I can note with a minus: 1-bright interior, 2-lack of tightening of power windows when arming the car, 3-if daytime running lights are installed, then they should function, and not be just for beauty, especially since that the commutation is connected to them, the 4-board does not show the current and average fuel consumption. The average fuel consumption with the climate on is about 10 liters, while I live in the hope that this figure will decrease after running in, but I doubt that it will be the declared 6.5 liters / 100km , 5-acoustics seems to be normal, the speakers are 20W, but it seems that the radio tape recorder gives out all 50W, because after the 15th division of the volume, the sound quality ends, and there are 31 such divisions. So, in general, the machine is very even nothing, playful, soft, comfortable, easy to operate. In general, the EMGRAND EC7 is worth its money.
After 9 days, Sergey added: I traveled 930 km, an epiphany came about the consumption. At the beginning, I was awesomely stupid, I heard a lot of talk about the 95th gasoline, that it’s better to pour the 92nd, which I did. As a result, the consumption was 10l / 100km gasoline) then I read in the instructions that you need to pour the 95th and higher, refueled the 98th. There are 15 liters left in the tank, I’ll try to fill up the 95th premium, 98 somehow dumb. I want to change the signal (which is rickets) for such an appearance, it doesn’t correspond at all, I planned to put Volgovskys, it’s not a shame to faff them :)
After 1 month and 7 days Sergey added: I have already wound 2270, soon zero MOT. As for the claims to the behavior of the car, they are not. I am going to break the warranty on the electrician (I will connect the "daylight" and in the rear lights the top unused 3 LEDs will be paired with the stops, they will stand out brighter). There is information about alleged guarantees. My friend at Emgrand had a knock during a sharp rotation of the steering wheel. At the AIS service station, they determined that this was the cross of the steering column shaft. and it’s not known when it will appear. It turns out that they didn’t refuse, and at the same time they sent it in a beautifully cultural way. In the end, this spare part can simply be picked up from another model and repaired outside the warranty workshop, so explain to me, maybe I don’t catch up with something : WHAT THE HELL IS THE WARRANTY FOR? Well this is pure capsizing!
After 1 month and 17 days Sergey added: Yesterday I went to TO-0 with a mileage of 2700 km. In fact, I’ll tell you I WON’T GO THERE AGAIN. They tried not to let the car, but still they gave me a bathrobe and I went. The workers went right on their heels. Let’s start with an oil change. , 4 liters, the guy brings a canister printed with the marking 5W30, to my question "why 30 and not 40 and why it is not sealed", the stunning answer sounds "30 is frost resistance, because we don’t get to -40, then you can pour W30 and the oil is unpacked, because it’s draft from a barrel, the volume of which is 200l. “Okay, let it be draft, but I didn’t beat it so that antifreeze characteristics were pushed into my oil! This person says that he has been working at the service station for a year already. They pour 3.5 liters into me and say that this is how it should be, that it’s better not to fill in the maximum. After this miracle, running diagnostics followed, there’s nothing to complain about here. already in the parking lot, near the service station, they added the remaining 0.5 oil to me, they did a computer diagnostician id of the engine, the door locks were treated with spray lubricant, this was after I got acquainted with the work order before payment. 1-cleaning nozzles. Of the 20 points, 15 were completed. And this is in view of the fact that the owner stands above the soul as an overseer. Guys, if you continue to drive your cars to the AIS service station, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR UNATTENDED!!! You yourself will not notice how they will cheat you and will not blink an eye, and YOU and NOT THEM will ride your transport! Since yesterday, this service has been CLOSED for me, it doesn’t matter what kind of car you have, whether Zaporozhets, or Lexus, they equally need appropriate care. I AM NOT THE ENEMY OF MY CAR AND MY WALLET!!!

In the Geely lineup, this model has become one of the most popular, successfully combining a spacious and comfortable interior, a fairly powerful engine and good build quality for the Chinese car industry. Currently, Geely Emgrand EC7 is produced not only in China, but also in Cherkessk, Ukraine and Uruguay.

Real fuel consumption of Geely Emgrand EC7
- Alexandra, Berezovsky. Despite the fact that before Geely Emgrand EC7 I drove exclusively on SUVs, such as Takson, Ford F-150 and so on, for some reason I liked the Chinese. When I was selling my 2005 Taxon, I saw Geely in the salon and decided to take it, especially since it is very interesting for the price. I will say this - actually a good car. Normal metal, interior is comfortable enough and the motor works well. In cold weather, it starts without problems, although the variator was initially unusual. Consumption is normal - 10 liters in the city in winter, up to 8.5 liters in summer.
- Sergei, Tyumen. A very good option if you are looking for an inexpensive car and a new one. Comfortable interior - really comfortable, no fools, a normal 1.8 liter engine. There is NOISE - there really is. I think it's better to buy it than Logan or VAZ. Consumption on average from 7 to 9 liters in the city, on the highway 6.5 liters.
- Leonid, Tobolsk. Geely Emgrand EC7, 1.8MT, 2012. I bought it from psychos, to be honest - I wanted a Toyota in the limit of up to 800-900 thousand rubles, but it turned out that the prices are just space, I don’t even fit into the base. A crazy idea flashed through to see the Chinese and I was surprised that for 400 thousand rubles you can buy a new car and at the same time quite interesting. Yes, the engine is blunt, but I don’t really drive and fuel consumption in the city of about 8 liters suits me. But good insulation, large interior, normal metal. In general, I am satisfied with everything, but the quality of the Russian assembly leaves much to be desired - the Chinese probably assemble it even better.
- Dmitry, Kemerovo. When I bought it in 2013, I really liked it. But two years later, mushrooms went along the hull, it began to crumble thoroughly, and then it was problematic to find spare parts for it. What can I say - for 40 thousand km, the box stupidly scattered. In general, barely sold. The only plus is that the engine is normal, it is from Toyota and the consumption is from 7.5 to 8.5 liters in the city, 6.5 liters on the highway.
- Pavel, Krasnodar. I noticed the Geely Emgrand EC7 by chance - I saw it in one salon, I didn’t even know that it was Chinese. When I sat down for a test drive, I was pleasantly surprised, and even more surprised when I found out the price. Then a friend told me - he has had this for a year now, he doesn’t complain at all, and I bought it all the same. A good family car is inexpensive, has a lot of room in the cabin and looks much more expensive than it costs. Consumption - from 7.5 liters in summer to almost 10 liters in winter, track 6.5-7.0 liters. The motor costs 1.8 liters.
- Alexander, Rudny. Geely Emgrand EC7, 1.8MT, 2014. I have already run over 65 thousand km. The main disadvantage of the car is hand-assed Russian assemblers. I saw Chinese Emgrands - there are no such assembly jambs at all, like ours. There is still a thin layer of paintwork, traces of small pebbles remain and the motor on the bottoms does not pull well. Consumption - 10 liters with kondeem, without it you can meet 8, on the highway, if not drown, then 6.5 liters.
- Alexey, Ufa. Emgrand ES7 has no competitors. Really not - a D-class car for 500 thousand rubles - who will offer this? For Koreans and Japanese, the price tag starts at 800 thousand, this is the base, for the norms the equipment will have to be paid. The only negative is the thin paintwork, you need to glue vinyls or armored film. In general, I don’t regret buying it, all the more economical - spare parts are cheap and gas consumption in the city is from 8 to 11 liters (this is with kondeya), I pour AI-92.
