The SUV boom has not diminished in the slightest, and models in the field of new energy have opened up a new battlefield, which is the most impressive impression on The uncle in 2021. And for young friends who like to drive, the models to choose from are less and less, fortunately, in recent years, domestic brands have not ignored the needs of the majority of consumers, or brought us several more fashionable cars, today Uncle Che has selected two hot products for everyone, they are Geely Emgrand L and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard.
The 2022 Geely Emgrand L was recently launched, and there are a total of 3 new cars launched, with a price range of 9.39 to 109,900 yuan. The 2021 Trumpchi Shadow Leopard was launched in August last year, and the new car currently has a total of 5 configurations in the whole series, with a price range of 98,300 to 131,800 yuan.
Next, Uncle Che will choose the Geely Emgrand L top version model and the guide price of 108,000 yuan 2021 Trumpchi Shadow Leopard J11 edition for comparison, the price gap between the two is not large, let's understand how their specific performance is.
Exterior design
Geely Emgrand L is the first car to adopt the new design style of Geely Energy Storm, and the suffix L is not only simply lengthened, but also means stronger technology style and higher grade. The energy matrix forward gas grille is the biggest attraction of the front face of the car, its design inspiration is derived from the Dunhuang molten salt tower solar thermal power station, the internal more than 3,000 diamond-shaped grilles are radiating around the logo, not only the shape is very unique and very sci-fi atmosphere. The headlight group on the left and right sides is composed of 12 LED light sources, and the three-stage day running lamp is a landmark design element of Geely, and the layered design is matched with the vertical light strip below, making the front face more imposing.
Trumpchi Shadow Leopard main sport, both the appearance and the interior design follow this principle, although as a low-end version, the car does not have a high-end fighter modeling decoration, the overall appearance is relatively simple, but the shape is still very sharp. Compared with the high-end fighter front face, the low-equipped grille style has been reduced, the yellow fangs and trim strips have disappeared, and the design is more lifelike. The shape of the left and right light groups is no different from the high-end version, the light source uses LEDs, and has the functions of automatic headlights and adjustable headlight height.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Geely Emgrand L are 4735×1815×1478 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm. The body side design of the new car is relatively simple, the tough tangent line runs through the front and rear door handles, outlining the posture full of power, the roof slip-back line is smooth and smooth, and the wheelbase is increased by 50mm compared to the ordinary version.
The specific length, width and height of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard are 4700×1850×1432 mm, and the wheelbase is 2736 mm. From the side styling point of view, the line of the low-end model is still moving, which does not need to worry, the figure is also consistent throughout the series, and the most discouraged point of the entire side is the wheel shape.
Geely Emgrand L rear part pays more attention to the shaping of the sense of layering, and a number of horizontal lines effectively widen the visual width of the tail, but also create a strong sense of strength. The interior of the tail light group is composed of 258 LED light sources, which is definitely worthy of the level of Geely's "domestic light factory", and the design of the light strip is inspired by the flying streamers of Dunhuang, which looks exquisite enough.
Although the rear part of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is the same as the front of the car, there is no sports kit and bright colored trim, but the shape is still sporty. The multi-layered lines are decorated with a chrome exhaust port on the left and right, while the new taillight group belongs to the flat style of slender strips, and the lower surround is also made similar to the diffuser shape to enhance the sports atmosphere.
Interior design
Geely Emgrand L interior design maintains the latest family design, only the details are adjusted, the contrast color not only maintains a fresh and elegant feeling but also more resistant to dirt, while the soft package coverage of the new car interior is further improved, reaching 90%, the leather feel exceeds expectations, and the sense of quality and high quality can be said to be one of the best in the same level. Friends who observe carefully may see that the bright colored veneer full of digital technology is not simple, it uses laser laser engraving technology, which has very strict requirements for precision and technology. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch touch LCD screen on the console, which supports satellite navigation, Bluetooth car phone, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc.
The design of the central control T-shaped area in the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard car is more innovative, the double screen area and the air conditioning control area are clearly divided, and a large area of leather soft material is also used in the car. It is worth affirming that the three flat-bottom steering wheels equipped with the low-end version of the model are more sporty, and the multi-functional buttons are also equipped, the outer ring is thick and the grip is full, but the material is short board, but it is equipped with a steering wheel made of plastic materials. At the same time, the new car's 10.25-inch touch LCD screen has also shrunk in terms of function, and only has the basic Bluetooth car phone and mobile phone interconnection mapping.
The Geely Emgrand L interior seats are wrapped in a mix of leather + turped leather materials, and feature two-way adjustment of the height of the main driver's seat, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and heating of the front seat. The front seats of the new car are also in a double-panel color scheme, and the Rheinland-certified seats are relatively good in terms of wrapping and support, and the interior padding is soft and the ride is more comfortable.
The seats in the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard car are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the front seat heating is missing from the Geely Emgrand L in terms of function. The seats of this model have shrunk in terms of function, but fortunately they are more sporty in terms of shape and color matching, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, the wings on both sides are prominent, and the backrest is very well supported for the waist.
The overall comfort of the Geely Emgrand L rear seats is also relatively good, the padding is slightly harder than the front seats, and the small headrest in the middle position cannot be height adjusted, which is far less than some models in the price range. In addition, the cushions and backrests in the middle of the rear of the new car are harder than the two sides, fortunately, the central bulge of the platform is not high, and it will not affect the legroom of the middle passenger too much.
The back seats of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard are of the same level as the front in terms of material use and workmanship, the padding is softer, the backrest support ratio is reversed, and the entire trunk is in a flat state after being reclined, but the model is not equipped with the rear central armrest.
dynamical system
Geely Emgrand L is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 141 hp and a peak torque of 235 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by an analog 8-speed CVT stepless gearbox.
The Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 177 horsepower and a peak torque of 270 Nm, which is even better. In terms of drivetrain, the engine is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Uncle Che summed up
In general, Geely Emgrand L and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard as a recent domestic brand launched by the new model has a lot of points to see, through the comparison of the above aspects, we can also see that the focus of the two models is different, in the case of the same price point Geely Emgrand L compared to Trumpchi Shadow Leopard has a more comprehensive functional configuration, more grade cockpit design and more comfortable riding experience, and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard's main advantages are reflected in the sporty appearance and power performance performance. From the perspective of daily family cars, the performance of Emgrand L will be more comprehensive, so in this round of showdown, Uncle Che is more recommended by Geely Emgrand L.
