If you want to talk about who is an independent national-level family car? Emgrand is definitely the first to bear the brunt.
From the first generation of Emgrand to the newly launched Emgrand L, since its listing for 12 years, it has been committed to building a national-class sedan, and its reliable quality and product strength are favored by consumers, not only winning the Chinese brand car sales champion for 9 consecutive years, but also the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 3.33 million.
A few days ago, "only do high-end" Geely Emgrand L was officially launched, a total of 2 different configuration models were launched, the price range is 99,900 yuan - 109,900 yuan. From the addition of the name "L", it can be seen that the new car is a member of the Emgrand family, and the new exterior design, longer body, higher starting price, etc., are enough to reflect its higher positioning than the fourth generation of Emgrand.
Since so much has changed, how does the specific test drive feel? Recently, the car review agency conducted a test drive experience for emgrand L.
Frankly speaking, when I first saw the real car, I was quickly attracted to it. In particular, the black mesh intake grille on the front face forms a split effect under the action of chrome strips, and the inside of the grille radiates outward with the car logo as the center, showing a visual effect of breaking through the boundary and bursting energy, which looks very personal and open.
The shape of the headlamp has also become more narrow and elongated than that of the fourth-generation Emgrand, and the width display lamp at the top is a segmented design. It is reported that after the first FOTA upgrade on the market, the supreme taillights have more flying neon light dances, full of science and technology, bringing a full sense of ceremony. The visual effect of all this is due to the fact that Emgrand L uses the "energy storm" design language to create.
Coming to the side, a deep waistline runs through the front door to the taillights, creating a ready-to-go effect. In addition, coupled with the smooth roof line design, the whole car looks very atmospheric, and even has the effect of slipping back from a distance. The through-line taillights are a highlight of the emgrand L rear, the light set is composed of 258 LED light beads, which are very recognizable and beautiful when lit. The chrome trim strip shape under the perimeter echoes the taillights, creating a good layering for the rear of the car as well.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Geely Emgrand L reached 4735/1815/1478mm, the wheelbase was 2700mm, the body length was 97mm more than the fourth generation Emgrand, and the wheelbase was increased by 50mm.
In terms of interior, Geely Emgrand L continues the latest design style of the family, and the contrast color combination of blue and black creates an elegant atmosphere in the car. On the center console, the new car uses a large area of soft materials and leather ornaments, while also being coated with radium carving craft trim panels, which is better than the fourth generation Ofgrand.
In terms of configuration, the Emgrand L series is equipped with 12.3-inch suspension central control screen, Geely Galaxy OS ecosystem, 540 ° transparent chassis, rear intelligent monitoring system, automatic induction opening of the trunk, smart key remote control start, mobile APP remote control and other intelligent configurations. Among them, the Supreme model is also equipped with a newly upgraded L2 intelligent driver assistance system. In addition, Emgrand L also comes standard with FOTA cloud upgrades, which can achieve continuous online upgrades.
In terms of power, Geely Emgrand L is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 104 kW and a peak torque of 235 N·m, the transmission system matches the CVT transmission, the maximum speed is 190 km/h, and the WLTC has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7L/100 km. It is worth mentioning that in the later period, Emgrand L will also launch a new hybrid system equipped with Geely's new hybrid system, Thor, Anderson Hi· The version of X.
During the test drive, we deliberately experienced a variety of road conditions such as city streets and expressways.
Its 1.4T engine is full of power, whether it is starting or overtaking effortlessly, and the overall power response is a comfort setting. The chassis is comfortably tuned and the NVH performs well.
What impressed me the most was that it had multiple optimizations in terms of details, such as the acceleration of the car in the LCD dashboard will show a spitfire state, such as when sitting in the car in the winter, the seat also supports the back heating, which is too intimate.
Emgrand L is based on the BMA platform to create, compared to the Emgrand series, whether in terms of power performance, riding space, intelligent experience, or appearance value have been improved a lot, and the price is still controlled at the level of 100,000, it can be said that it is a very cost-effective family car.
