Geely Emgrand is one of the more popular compact cars in the continental automobile market, and this model has won some attention in the market with its affordable price and good cost performance. Compared with its competitors, Geely Emgrand has now launched four 2023 models, and their official guide prices range from 69,900 yuan to 88,900 yuan, which is more attractive than the price of the third-generation Geely Emgrand (4th generation). However, when considering whether to choose Emgrand as a daily means of transportation, we also need to pay attention to the performance of this model in all aspects to see if it can meet our own car needs. Today, let's take a look at the product performance of the 203 Geely Emgrand (4th generation) and see if it is worth everyone's choice?
From my personal experience, the 2023 Geely Emgrand still has certain deficiencies in terms of power performance. Although the 1.5-liter engine is smooth in everyday driving, giving a maximum power of 93kW, I felt a little overwhelmed when it came to fast acceleration. In addition, I also found that the 2023 Geely Emgrand brakes are a little soft at the beginning of driving, and the driver needs to adapt to a certain amount in order to ensure their travel safety.
In terms of fuel consumption, although Emgrand's official data looks more economical, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under WLTC working conditions is less than 6L, but in actual use, the fuel consumption performance of the model is not as good as I imagined, especially in the urban congestion environment, the fuel consumption performance of the model will be slightly higher than expected. This can be a factor to consider for consumers who are concerned about fuel economy. In contrast, various new energy models in the domestic compact car market now have better fuel consumption performance.
In terms of comfort experience, I think the sound insulation effect of Emgrand is not satisfactory. If it is a paved road in the interior of the city, the quietness of the cabin of this model is not bad. However, at high speeds or on rough roads, the noise in the cabin of this model is more obvious, which may affect the comfort of driving and riding for consumers. In addition, because the cost of building a car is relatively low, the seat material and design of the 2023 Geely Emgrand are not very good, which may make the driver feel tired after a long drive.
As a model that focuses on family cars, the 2023 Geely Emgrand does not perform very well in terms of space utilization. During my experience, I found that the 2023 Geely Emgrand has relatively little space in the back, which may not be suitable for family cars that often need to carry multiple passengers. At the same time, the trunk space of this model is also relatively limited, and the volume is only 500L under normal conditions.
In terms of interior and materials, although Emgrand shows a certain sense of grade in design, there is still room for improvement in material selection. The 2023 Geely Emgrand I experienced was a new model to the store, and I felt that the interior of the model had obvious odors, and its interior materials were also poor, which in the eyes of many consumers, may affect the user's health and driving experience, so the sales performance of the 2023 Geely Emgrand may also be affected to a certain extent.
I believe that there are many friends who are "beauty parties", right? So we still have to take a look at the exterior design of the 2023 Geely Emgrand. The exterior design of the 2023 Geely Emgrand continues the design language of the Geely family, presenting a young and fashionable style as a whole. The front face adopts a unique grille shape, and is also equipped with waterfall elements, as well as LED light source headlight clusters and dot matrix daytime running lights, making the vehicle look more full and stable. The "skyline through the sharp waistline" design on the side of the car enhances the fullness of the side of the vehicle. The tail lights also adopt a through-type design, combined with the spiral staircase-shaped light cluster, which improves the visibility of the vehicle at night.
However, I think that in terms of exterior design, the 2023 Geely Emgrand also has some shortcomings. First of all, although the front design of this model is relatively unique, for some consumers, it may lack a certain amount of innovation and personalization, and it is not highly recognizable compared to other models on the market. In addition, although the body lines are sleek, for consumers who pursue a sense of sportiness and power, Emgrand's design may seem a little more conservative.
To sum up, Geely Emgrand, as a compact family car, has certain advantages in price, but there are shortcomings in some aspects. One thing to say, as a fuel-powered model, the 2023 Geely Emgrand can be regarded as attracting the attention of many consumers with the support of a starting price of 69,900 yuan, so it can rank 16th on the compact car sales list in March 2024, but in my opinion, if you want to buy this model, you still have to carefully consider your car needs.
