It should be admitted that the 4th generation Ofegrand, which uses the BMA platform and changes its new appearance, is still relatively successful. However, under the aura of "Xiaoxingrui", many consumers are still slightly disappointed in its motivation.
In fact, "enough power" is a rather mysterious term. Although we know that Emgrand is positioned in ordinary family cars, perhaps some users will not even be willing to step on floor oil when they really use the car, but these still cannot stop their pursuit and expectation of higher power.
Looking closely at emgrand's past, in fact, there is no precedent for raising the power, and the higher mission has always been undertaken by the higher positioning emgrand GL. Now, with the discontinuation of Emgrand GL, emgrand L as the successor has appeared, and the further needs and expectations of consumers will also be met.
In terms of naming, compared with Emgrand GL, Emgrand L seems to be more in line with the naming conventions of the current market, and it is easier to understand and remember. "L" generally means longer and stronger, easy to understand.
Although Emgrand L continues to use the 1.4T+ CVT power combination of Emgrand GL, it is less surprising and innovative. But the engine is also with "T", whether it is the book parameters or the actual power performance is naturally stronger than the 4th generation Emgrand's 1.5L + CVT, so many years of application can also be regarded as stable and reliable. For consumers who feel that the 4th generation emgrand is weak, Emgrand L is enough to cope.
However, it is precisely because of this set of the same powertrain as the Emgrand GL, coupled with some similar model names, so that many people regard the Emgrand L as the Emgrand GL shell, jokingly called Geely "sewing and patching for another three years". If this is the case, then This "shell change" of Jili is really enough.
Compared with the past Emgrand GL, the "energy storm" design adopted by Emgrand L is obviously more textured and fashionable, and it is more in line with the current aesthetic trend. Compared with the calmness of the 4th generation Emgrand, the Emgrand L will also have a more sporty atmosphere.
In terms of specific body size, compared with the Emgrand GL, the length and width of the Emgrand L have increased. Although the wheelbase has not changed, it is worth noting that Emgrand L uses the BMA architecture. On this basis alone, the idea of a shell change is clearly untenable.
In addition to that, there is the interior. On the basis of a good appearance, the interior of Emgrand L also has a matching temperament. Suspension type central control screen, through-type air conditioning outlet, simple atmosphere. In particular, the unique Danqing blue color scheme is fresh and unworldly, and it is estimated that it will capture the hearts of many young people.
Support for FOTA upgrades, L2 level driving assistance, Galaxy OS car engine system, etc. also laid a solid foundation for the inner level of Emgrand L.
Despite a series of upgrades, Emgrand L is still quite restrained in terms of price. The guidance price of 99,900-109,900 yuan coupled with the preferential rights and interests currently launched makes its actual price come to 96,900-10.69 million. In general, compared with the 4th generation of Emgrand, Emgrand L has given enough things in the limited price increase, not to mention that "Emgrand GL shell change" can be said in a word.
Speaking of which, the price of Emgrand L combined with the positioning of the model, it is easy to think of another "shoulder handle" of the domestic car - Changan Yidong PLUS.
In a sense, you can understand that Chang'an's Yidong PLUS is benchmarked against Geely's Emgrand + Emgrand L. However, one of the car series of Yidong covers both naturally aspirated and turbocharged models, while Emgrand (naturally aspirated version) and Emgrand L (turbo version) use two models.
It is foreseeable that with the emergence of Emgrand L, consumers who have abandoned Emgrand in the past will abandon Emgrand because of power, and resolutely devote themselves to Yidong PLUS will become more hesitant.
Although competition at the practical level is inevitable, we may as well open up the pattern a bit. Whether it is Emgrand or Yidong, both are outstanding representatives of domestic car cars, and it is a good thing to be able to see more domestic cars at this level.
"100,000 levels to see domestic production", now this statement has become more and more popular. This change in the perception of domestic cars is reversed step by step by relying on excellent models such as Emgrand and Yidong. In the future, we naturally hope to see domestic cars achieve achievements and recognition at a higher level.
