In the domestic automobile market, the production and sales of the Geely Emgrand family have exceeded 3.3 million units, which is a well-deserved "brother" of Chinese brand A-class cars. However, with the acceleration of the trend of rejuvenation and intelligence in the automobile market, how to meet the needs of young users with more high-end products has become a new goal of the Emgrand family. Therefore, the Emgrand L built based on the BMA architecture came into being and was officially listed today, with an official guidance price of 9.99-10.99 million yuan.
Geely Emgrand L is positioned higher than the 4th generation Emgrand, and as the successor of Emgrand GL, Emgrand L has catered to the changes of the times in many aspects, and the basic quality of products is more in line with user needs. So compared to Emgrand GL, is the improvement of Emgrand L obvious? Take a look at the contrast between Emgrand L and Emgrand GL.
Different design styles, Emgrand L soft parcel area more
When seeing the Emgrand L at first glance, I believe most people will think that this is an A-class car that focuses on sports, mainly because of the new style of front face, black style net, X-shaped mouth, with fashionable LED headlights and other design elements, revealing a strong aggressiveness. Geely Emgrand GL is a distinctly calm, homely style, not radical but also enduring enough.
Emgrand L uses the popular through-type taillight design, equipped with 258 LED light sources inside, and the tail light strip can also achieve three kinds of greeting and receiving guest lights, which is more recognizable than Emgrand GL.
In terms of interior, Emgrand GL adopts the family style of Geely's previous generation, which is mainly calm. Emgrand L focuses on young, simple, straight center console lines, suspension central control screens, double-spelled colors, etc., all of which are liked by young people. In addition, nearly 90% of the interior parts of the Emgrand L, such as the center console, seats, door trims, armrest boxes, etc., are wrapped in soft materials, and the texture of the car is better than that of Emgrand GL.
Emgrand L has no low-end car, and the standard FOTA cloud upgrade is the highlight
The newly listed Geely Emgrand L has only launched two models, and both are high-end cars, from the basic configuration table, the increase may not be too obvious, more full LCD dashboard, 360-degree panoramic image, induction trunk, leather + fur seats and so on. So as a new car with BMA architecture, does the small amount of configuration increment mean that Emgrand L lacks sincerity? Obviously not, because the actual boosts are not shown on the configuration table.
Before that, let's take a look at some of the configurations of the Emgrand GL. It is equipped with reversing radar, reversing image, sunroof, keyless entry/start, multi-function steering wheel, central control LCD screen, Internet of Vehicles, automatic air conditioning and other configurations on the entry-level model, which is quite rich. The mid- to high-end models are also equipped with electric folding mirrors, LED headlights, tire pressure monitoring, driver assistance systems and more. In terms of intelligent configuration, there is no lack of 10.25-inch central control screen, GKUI Jike intelligent ecosystem, which belongs to the leading level in the same level.
Compared with the starting price of Emgrand GL of 77,800 yuan, the price of Geely Emgrand L starting model is directly pulled to 99,900 yuan, which can almost be said to cancel the medium and low-end models. As a configuration increment, in addition to the better use of the Geely Galaxy OS ecosystem, the core upgrade is the standard FOTA cloud intelligent upgrade function of the whole system. Different from the traditional sense of OTA upgrade, FOTA upgrade coverage includes the power domain, chassis domain, body domain, ADAS domain, infotainment domain and other five major plates, in short, the future FOTA upgrade can be in addition to infotainment driving, safety and other aspects, more in line with the needs of users to improve, very powerful.
Emgrand L is equipped with the Geely Galaxy OS ecosystem, which has also been greatly improved in voice interaction, and the intelligent AI full-time voice function can also use multi-functional human-computer interaction normally even in the absence of signal conditions. At the same time, Baidu's online navigation, multimedia entertainment system, App intelligent remote control, ELKA's emergency lane keeping, and AEB-P's two-wheeler recognition function are not missing. It is worth noting that the 540 ° transparent chassis and three-finger flying screen also appeared in Emgrand L as "black technology", which is not available to Emgrand GL.
The space between the two vehicles is close, but the Emgrand L power combination options are reduced
As the successor of Emgrand GL, the Emgrand L from the BMA platform has hardly changed in space, with a length, width and height of 4735/1815/1478mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a slight increase in length and width than Emgrand GL, and a height and wheelbase that are exactly the same, which is the leading level in the same class.
In terms of power system, the Emgrand L is equipped with a power combination of 1.4T (maximum power 141 horsepower, maximum torque 235 Nm) + 8CVT, which is exactly the same as the 1.4T+8CVT on the Emgrand GL, but the power combination of the Emgrand GL is more, and there are 1.4T+6MT and 1.5T+7DCT versions to choose from. Of course, as a user, whether you choose Emgrand GL or Emgrand L, the main purpose is mostly for comfort and home, so the impact is not large.
summary:
Compared with Geely Emgrand GL, Emgrand L has significantly improved in terms of design and intelligent configuration, especially after equipped with FOTA cloud upgrade, the product can be more up-to-date and meet the needs of young users at any time. At the same time, although Emgrand L canceled the medium and low-end versions of the model, streamlined some configurations, and raised the user's car purchase threshold, it also made a more obvious difference between Emgrand L and the 4th generation Emgrand, but more reasonable. Therefore, for users, the newly listed Emgrand L is still quite attractive.
