Geely Emgrand Methanol Hybrid
Key Attributes
Product Summary
The Geely Emgrand Methanol Hybrid is the world's first methanol-electric hybrid sedan, powered by a 1.8L methanol engine (97 kW, 41.5% thermal efficiency) with a 100 kW motor and 1.83 kWh battery, achieving 9.2 L/100 km methanol use and up to 600 km range.
Product Details
The Geely Emgrand Methanol Hybrid is the world's first methanol-electric hybrid sedan, built on the Emgrand (4th Gen) BMA platform. A 1.8L methanol engine works with a 100 kW drive motor and a 3-speed DHT to deliver clean, low-cost mobility — running primarily on M100 methanol with a small gasoline reserve for cold starts.
Key Highlights
- 1.8L Methanol Engine – 97 kW, 12.5:1 compression, 41.5% thermal efficiency; paired with 100 kW / 320 N·m drive motor.
- Ultra-low Methanol Use – 9.2 L/100 km methanol (equiv. 3.4 L gasoline), tested as low as 6.0 L; up to ~600 km range on a 47 L methanol tank.
- 1.83 kWh Ternary Battery – 3-side liquid cooling, 65 kW peak; supports electric driving below 50 km/h and 20 smart hybrid modes.
- Galaxy OS Cockpit – 12.3" digital cluster + 10.25" center screen, AI voice, navigation, OTA, 540° camera (upper trims).
- Safe & Refined – MacPherson + torsion-beam chassis, 36 m braking from 100 km/h, 2,650 mm wheelbase.
