After the launch of Geely's new Emgrand, from the perspective of monthly sales of more than 10,000 units, it is still quite popular in the market, and the subsequent launch of emgrand L is a model with higher positioning. However, because the price has also risen to the range of 100,000 yuan, the competitive pressure will be more than the improvement of product strength.
Emgrand
If you want to break through the siege, you have to come up with a killer skill, so Geely recently officially debuted the Emgrand L Thor Hi · X, that is, the plug-in hybrid version.
See the new car in one minute:
1. The appearance of the new car is more refined
2. Has exclusive color matching and electronic barrier
3. The system accelerates by 6.9 seconds, and the feeder fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km
The Emgrand family has always been geely's star series, and has won the sales championship of Chinese brand cars for 9 consecutive years. The Emgrand L is the latest member of the family, built on the BMA architecture and positioned as a compact car.
In addition to representing lengthening, L has also improved in terms of intelligence and luxury. The body size is 4735/1815/1478 mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm.
The space is at the same level as the opponent of the same level, but the price is 20,000 cheaper, and the configuration is quite rich, which is the most competitive place for Emgrand L.
Emgrand GL
Unlike its own brother Binrui, who is at the same price, who focuses on youth sports, the overall image of Emgrand L is more mature and stable. These two cars are geely's tailor-made products to cope with users with the same budget but different needs.
Emgrand L Thor Hi · The biggest highlight of X is, of course, this plug-in and mixing system. Note here that Thor Hi · X is currently divided into HEV (Oil-Electric Hybrid) and PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid).
Previously, Thor of the Star-Cross L, Hi · The X is the HEV, and this time the Emgrand L is the first sedan equipped with the 1.5TD-3DHT TSR system.
The maximum endurance of the new car under full fuel is 1300km, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 6.9 seconds, and the fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km.
The 1.5TD engine has a maximum power of 181Ps and a maximum torque of 290N·m, and the drivetrain is matched with the DHT Pro 3-speed hybrid electric drive transmission.
This engine is a special transmission for hybrid, with Miller circulation, water-cooled EGR and other technologies, and because the hybrid does not consider the idle working conditions of the engine, the balance shaft is cancelled, so that the thermal efficiency of the engine reaches 43.32%.
Thor Hi · The DHT Pro gearbox of the X hybrid system is different from the Toyota THS, it takes the clutch control string parallel technology route similar to the Honda i-MMD and BYD DM-i, and upgrades on this basis to pay more attention to the advantages of power.
From the perspective of acceleration performance, Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X is stronger than the close-priced Honda LingpaiRui Hybrid and BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, while fuel consumption is at the same level.
Emgrand L Thor Hi · X follows the design style of the fuel version, and the energy matrix front grille is inspired by the Dunhuang Lava Tower Solar Thermal Power Station. The difference is that the new car's central mesh has changed from the bright black of the fuel version to frosted silver, and with the gradient hollow heat dissipation hole, the entire energy matrix front face looks more three-dimensional.
The side shape of the body has the shadow of the former Emgrand GL, which is also a classic inheritance. The charging port is set at the left front fender, and the wheel hub is also changed from a 5-spoke two-color sports style to a multi-fu bar style, which makes the sense of refinement improved and in line with the identity of the hybrid.
The through-type taillights at the rear of the car consist of 258 LED light sources and incorporate Geely's LOGO into it, and the chrome trim strips on the surrounding echo the taillight style, highlighting the layering of the tail. The new car also adds an exclusive Aurora body-in-white color, which is rare in production cars.
The interior of the new car adopts a new forest green double color block, and the overall cabin atmosphere feels fresh and elegant. The full LCD instrument is 10.25 inches, the suspension central control large screen is 12.3 inches, and the electronic gear is emgrand L Thor Hi · X exclusive, fuel version or traditional mechanical gear handle.
At present, the price of Emgrand L is 9.39-10.99 million yuan, so after adding Thor Hi · After the X plug-in hybrid system, due to the increase in cost, it is more reasonable to be expensive for about 20,000 yuan in price. So the professor expected Emgrand L Thor Hi · The X will sell for around 120,000.
If that's the case, it's a lot cheaper than the JV hybrids of the same class. The biggest opponent of the new car will be BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Destroyer 05, the two brothers, and everyone's price will be very close.
BYD Qin PLUS DM-i
11.18-15.18 million
Honda Lingpai Sharp Hybrid
13.98-16.98 million
Toyota Corolla Twin Engine
13.58-15.98 million
Emgrand L Thor Hi · The emergence of X has given about 120,000 hybrid family cars another choice. Fuel saving is the characteristic of all hybrid vehicles, but Geely also pursues the advantages brought by hybrid vehicles in power, so that both ends are taken into account, and the experience is comprehensively improved, rather than making consumers feel that they have spent more money but are simply for the purpose of fuel saving. Finally, I am looking forward to a surprise price for the new car to be launched.
