Geely's most familiar car series is the Emgrand family, as the Emgrand's extended model Emgrand GL, it has now undergone a new generation and changed to a simpler name Emgrand L. At the same time, with the product attitude of "only doing high matching", 2 versions were launched, selling 9.99-10.99 million yuan. As the first sports car under the GPMA structure, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, its very dynamic shape, high-tech and grade interior, etc., give enough young people temptation, and the sales after the listing explain everything. The entry of Emgrand L this time can never avoid the opponent Shadow Leopard. Is the high-end Emgrand L a flower shelf with its own surface, or can it be a real knife and real gun front hard steel Trumpchi shadow leopard? Let's compare.
01
Appearance: Emgrand L has a distinct personality and a stronger sports atmosphere of Shadow Leopard
In terms of appearance, Emgrand L adopts a new "energy storm" design, which is too much of a change in the appearance of the current Emgrand, which can be said to completely subvert Geely's previous design style. The interior of the grille looks very complex, the upper grille is decorated with chrome strips, the lower grille has a particularly large number of points, and the overall visual effect is very aggressive.
The appearance of the shadow leopard adopts two sets of designs (sports version and luxury version), using the design language of "light plastic curved surface", in order to enhance the personality of the whole vehicle, the network also uses a parametric wing shape, and there are frosted silver decorative pieces on both sides of the front, creating a stronger sports atmosphere.
02
Interior: Emgrand L has a strong texture and obvious sports characteristics of shadow leopards
In terms of interior, the interior shape of Emgrand L continues the new design style of "energy storm" consistent with the appearance, and further enhances the texture of the car through the new Danqing blue contrast design, as well as laser laser engraving process and suspension central control large screen.
Like the exterior, the Shadow Leopard interior enhances the texture of technology while incorporating more sporty elements, making it stand out in the family car. The configuration part, dual LCD screen, sports instrument, Huawei Hi Car interconnection system, and support CarPlay and Carlife mobile phone interconnection, L2 level driving assistance and other mainstream functions.
03
Configuration comparison: Emgrand L is slightly better
Whether you want to buy a family car or a scooter, the configuration aspect will be the place where consumers consider. Below, we have selected two models with a price difference of 0.81 million for comparison.
As can be seen from the above table, the configuration of the Emgrand L in the two models with similar prices will be more abundant, compared with the Shadow Leopard, more FOTA air upgrades, remote control keys, car networking, remote start, car air purifiers and other functions. Compared with the 0.81 million expensive shadow leopard of Emgrand L, it has more functions such as steering wheel shift and pedestrian collision protection system.
04
Space comparison: no matter whether it is up or down, it is spacious
Looking at the body size alone, the Emgrand L will be longer and taller than the Shadow Leopard in terms of body length and height, while the Shadow Leopard will be more dominant in terms of body width and wheelbase.
In terms of actual riding space, due to the inability to unify the height and weight of the experiencer, the following effects are for reference only.

Power comparison: Shadow Leopard is stronger
In the power part, the Emgrand L is equipped with a 1.4T engine with a maximum power of 104 kW (141PS) and a maximum torque of 235 N·m, matching the CVT continuously variable transmission. At the same time, the official revealed that the new car will also be equipped with Geely's new hybrid system Lei Shen Zhi Qing Hi · X, the future will be launched hybrid version of the model.
Shadow Leopard adopts gaga Trumpchi's self-developed Julang power 1.5TGDI engine, the third-generation aircraft has improved compared with the old engine in terms of power and fuel economy, with a maximum power of 130kW (177PS), a peak torque of 270N·m, and a matching 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Since we have not yet test-driven the Emgrand L, the following is the performance of the Shadow Leopard ride:
In terms of driving experience, the shadow leopard power system has two very different personalities, in Sport and Sport+ mode, the rhythm of the gearbox shift is particularly strong, the reduction of power output modification, in exchange for sensory stimulation, and when you want to drive it gently, you can still get what you want. In the face of urban congestion and rural invigorating, Shadow Leopard's athletic personality is not perfect, and it cannot take into account the needs of both, but it does not affect it as a qualified sports car.
In fact, GAC Trumpchi's determination to make changes in the face of consumers in the new era is very strong, and it is not difficult to see from the "advanced" gameplay on the mass production model. The new car will not appear directly after the owner buys home, and the catapult mode in this mode will not appear, but through the total mileage traveled and the score of each turn and acceleration, I have to say that this kind of monster upgrade gameplay is still quite innovative.

Summary of the full text
From emgrand L, it can be seen that the Geely brand is constantly improving its product strength, and the configuration does have a feeling of entry and high matching, and it is also developing towards rejuvenation, especially the avant-garde and radical appearance makes a deep impression. As a main sports car of GAC Trumpchi, the shadow leopard does look very bright, and the scientific and technological configuration is also very strong, and it is indeed more impressive to the young group.
Overall, although the two models are geared towards a new generation of young consumers, their market positioning is still different. Emgrand L is more in line with consumers who are considering home use, and if you have a pursuit of driving, Shadow Leopard may be more suitable for you.
