After the launch of the "six-pack abs" Emgrand logo in 2014, Geely began to reclassify the positioning of its various brand models. According to the manufacturer's executives, "Emgrand" will become Geely's compact car brand in the future.
Geely has actually had a very successful Emgrand EC7 and Emgrand GS in the compact field, but Geely has launched a compact car again. Judging by the naming conventions of the Chinese automotive industry, the name GL generally means more luxurious and larger. The Emgrand GL is one such car that is impressive in these aspects, and its interior is undoubtedly the most comfortable and "luxurious" in its class, and its cabin design even gives people a "no matter the cost" feeling compared to its price.
The Emgrand GL can make you feel that Geely is really working hard to create a boutique model, almost using the configuration level of a mid-level car to build a compact car. The rear row of this car is also very comfortable, in terms of wheelbase and space, independent brand car companies have never been stingy, 100,000 yuan can buy Emgrand 1.8L top version, which is definitely the most luxurious static car you can buy at this price.
Chinese brands of cars used to be known for their high failure rates, but Geely's Emgrand series has had a good reputation for reliability since its launch. In the past few years, Geely Auto may be the most improved car manufacturer in China, and many years ago the safety performance of the Geely Liberty was terrible, but now Geely's models have basically achieved good results in C-NCAP collisions, and the latest Emgrand GL score of 49.6 has received a five-star safety rating from C-NCAP.
If we compare the Emgrand with the Honda Gary of about the same price, we will find that it is much longer and wider than the Grey, the wheelbase is also longer than the Grey, and the interior is undoubtedly much more luxurious than the Grey. With the inertia of most Chinese consumers, Emgrand's 1.3T turbocharged engine is undoubtedly more advanced than Gorey's 1.5L direct-injection engine, and its dual-clutch transmission is also better than Gory's CVT gearbox. But in fact, Emgrand's acceleration performance is much worse than that of Gorry, and the fuel consumption is also higher than that of Gorry. Although the rear wheels of the Emgrand GL use disc brakes and the Gory has drum brakes like the Fit, the Braking performance of the Gory is also better and more stable than that of the Emgrand GL.
Emgrand GL is a very sincere product, in terms of mechanical specifications, it is still a gap with the world's first-class, but the old Jetta with technical specifications almost 20 years behind has long proved that technology can never represent everything. First-class car quality at the same price Second-rate control, coupled with an additional first-class sense of quality, this is the choice problem given by Emgrand GL.
