A few days ago, Geely Emgrand L was officially listed, the guidance price is: 9.99-10.99 million yuan, the vehicle positioning boutique compact car, and is expected to push the hybrid version in the future. Adding an L to the name doesn't mean that the vehicle has a longer wheelbase and better space? In fact, this L is not only to optimize the vehicle space, but also to enhance the overall competitiveness of the vehicle.
As of February 28, 2022, you can enjoy 1,000 deposits to 4,000 yuan, 6 free basic maintenance in 3 years, up to 3,000 yuan cloud upgrade package, 36 periods of 0 interest, lifetime free car network traffic (the first car owner) and other welfare benefits!
The reason for this name is because the front face design of Emgrand L is inspired by the Dunhuang Molten Salt Tower Light and Heat Station, and the front face grille covers almost the vast majority of the front of the car, and it can not even be described with a large mouth.
Geely's iconic mid-mesh trim is still on the front of the car, and the daytime running lights extend to the sides are highly recognizable.
Instead of a slipback design, the sides use an orthodox sedan shape. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Emgrand L are 4735/1815/1478mm, and the wheelbase is 50mm to 2700mm more than that of Emgrand, which is the standard compact sedan size, and does not increase much because of the L name, after all, there are also Xingrui and Borui above the Emgrand L.
The interior is the highlight of Emgrand L, on the one hand, as the title says, the interior soft package coverage of Emgrand L is 90%, and most of the panels in the car are wrapped in soft materials, including plastic, leather, etc., and the overall sense of quality even has a cross-level performance.
In addition, Emgrand L also has a new black and blue contrast color match, the overall feeling is relatively fresh and elegant, obviously improving the sense of luxury. It is said that the seats of the Emgrand L are certified by Rheinland, and the overall ride experience will be even better.
Global FOTA is the highlight of Emgrand L, upgrading vehicle power, chassis, body, ADAS, infotainment and more through OTA technology to keep the vehicle in the best working condition at any time. At the same time, the Galaxy OS system equipped with Emgrand L has unique insights in intelligent voice interaction, and full-time AI voice does not need to be awakened, improving the car experience.
In terms of driving assistance, Emgrand L has functions such as 540° transparent chassis, APP remote control, emergency lane keeping and two-wheeler recognition to ensure the convenience and safety of car owners when using the car.
According to the previous static experience, the rear seat riding experience of the car can only be regarded as decent in the same class of models, and there is no particularly obvious upgrade in the length of 50mm, and because the hardness of the rear seat filling will be slightly higher than that of the front seat, the comfort of the long ride may be slightly insufficient.
In the power part, the Emgrand L is equipped with a combination of 1.4T engine + CVT transmission, and will also push a hybrid version of the model in the future, equipped with Geely's latest Thunder God Intelligence Engine HI · X Hybrid System.
At present, domestic BYD, Great Wall and other manufacturers have begun to develop their own hybrid products, Geely's hybrid system has two highlights, one is the maximum thermal efficiency of 43.32% of the engine, the other is a three-speed hybrid transmission. The P2 motor is integrated with a gear shift mechanism and a double planetary gear set, which can realize both power shunting and gear shifting.
It can be expanded here that the engine of the hybrid system is slightly different from the conventional engine, for example in the maximum thermal efficiency range. Hybrid engine in general, the starting time is not long, the engine speed can not be high, so the manufacturer will set the maximum thermal efficiency point in the low speed range, mainly in the line working conditions, to ensure that the engine has excellent fuel economy.
However, what kind of collocation will eventually be implemented on emgrand L is still unknown, and it is necessary to wait until the hybrid system officially appears on Emgrand L, and the professor will bring you first-hand information.
From the price point of view, Changan Ruicheng CC and GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard will become competitors of Emgrand L, but the positioning of the three will be different, Shadow Leopard positioning young people sports coupe, so the overall creation of a sense of sporty atmosphere will be more intense, and the age group of potential divers will be relatively small.
Ruicheng CC as a whole will tend to be moderate, the performance of the whole vehicle is not successful, the chassis is mainly comfortable, but there is good toughness when driving fiercely, the overall body followability is better, after the blue whale power blessing, the overall power quality has been significantly improved; from the design and crowd positioning point of view, the potential age of The Sharp CC is the largest of the three cars.
Emgrand L is located between the two, its customer group is not those small and young, but the new into the workplace, want to have a good sense of quality, but do not want to be too publicity customers.
From the product strength, Emgrand L in the degree of intelligence and the overall sense of high-level is quite good, from the Galaxy OS system to the various driving assistance functions, some of the configuration Emgrand L will try to meet the needs, but due to the positioning and product line reasons, the overall size of Emgrand L did not break through the ceiling, so in the overall space performance of God Hao L is decent.
In fact, the "L" of Emgrand L is not only reflected in the wheelbase lengthening, but also represents the progress of materials, design, sense of science and technology, etc. If the future hybrid system is added, I believe that the competitiveness of Emgrand L will be further improved.
