Geely Geely Jiaji

As a long-time Geely user, I recently purchased the Geely Jiaji L after considering 6/7-seat needs for my family. With subsidies and trade-in, it cost around 103,000 RMB. The 1.5T engine paired with DCT wet dual-clutch delivers smooth acceleration (0-100km/h in ~7.9s) and shifts imperceptibly. The interior feels premium, and the infotainment system runs smoothly with essential features. Despite its size, the combined fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km, which I find reasonable. The Jiaji L’s extended length provides adequate space for my family (all under 175cm). Its quietness impresses my son, comparing it to an electric car. While the 7-seat version has a slightly high floor, headroom is sufficient. Overall, for the price, the Jiaji L meets my expectations well.

After six months and 16,000 km with my Geely Jiaji, it has fully broken in, delivering responsive power and smooth shifts from the dual-clutch gearbox, feeling like a naturally aspirated engine with CVT. The 1.6-ton vehicle impresses with combined fuel efficiency of 6.7L/100km. While the three-cylinder engine vibrates noticeably when cold (especially after long parking) and at 800rpm when warmed up, it's unnoticeable during driving. Noise isolation is good for under 300,000 RMB cars, though engine noise is slightly higher than top four-cylinder models and tire noise varies by road surface. There were two issues: an AC pipe leak and a serpentine belt failure due to a faulty tensioner, both fixed by the 4S shop. The second service cost 850 RMB (plus 150 RMB for air and cabin filters), which is pricey. As my only family car, the Jiaji excels as a versatile crossover wagon, offering decent driving dynamics, comfort, and practicality, meeting both daily and special needs despite not being outstanding in any single aspect.

The three-cylinder engine in the Geely Jiaji has been a tricky issue, but with the 48V mild hybrid system, the BSG integrated motor avoids low-gear shaking during起步. However, its 0-100km/h acceleration is still close to 10 seconds, possibly due to some small顿挫 of the 7-speed dual-clutch when accelerating in the mid to later stages, and there's noticeable engine noise above 90km/h. The torsion beam chassis filters small bumps well but has obvious bouncing on potholed roads, affecting rear passenger comfort. The Jiaji offers spacious seating, with the second row providing 1拳 and 2拳 of head and leg room for a 180cm passenger, and flexible sliding rails allowing nearly 1拳 of leg room in both rear rows, though using all three rows limits the trunk to a small trolley case and affects third-row backrest comfort, making two-row use the best for overall practicality.
