Geely GS (Emgrand GS): compact crossover and what to know
Geely GS, also known as Emgrand GS — a compact five-door crossover produced in China since 2016. We look at what makes it special, its mechanics, and what to check if you're bringing one into Lithuania.
GS in brief
Geely GS — a five-door crossover, around 4.4m long, designed for daily city and road use. Its body is higher than a hatchback's, with a coupe-like roof line, making it look more dynamic than a typical compact crossover.
The model is mostly sold in China and some other markets as the Emgrand GS. It's practically unheard of in Lithuania, so it's a private import.
Updates — what's different
The first GS version debuted around 2016. Later, the model was updated — it got a new front end, headlights, and a slightly revised interior.
When choosing a used GS, opt for a newer updated model, as it looks more modern and often comes with more features.
Engines and transmissions
The GS comes with petrol engines, usually a 1.4-litre turbo or a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated. Other variants are offered in some markets.
The transmission is manual or automatic. Drive is front-wheel.
What to check when buying a GS
Firstly — parts and mechanic availability. Not all services in Lithuania are familiar with this model, so check where you can find parts.
Check the suspension, gearbox operation, body condition, and painted surfaces. Ensure the engine doesn't smoke or make unusual noises, and that the electronics work.
Always check the documents to ensure the car can be registered in the EU, and that the mileage and service history are genuine.

GS trim names and equipment vary by market, so we provide a general overview.
