Electric Technology Car News: Can a high-end Emgrand GL with a price of 80,000 yuan beat joint venture cars in the compact family car segment?

Emgrand, a name that seems to be full of petty bourgeoisie and tacky, has now become the largest car series under Geely. Currently, the Emgrand family includes the new Emgrand, Emgrand GS, Emgrand RS and Emgrand GL. Emgrand GL is the fourth model of Geely Auto's "Boutique Car 3.0 Era". It is built on the same platform as the Emgrand GS and is priced at 78,800-113,800 yuan, which just fills the gap between the new Emgrand and Borui. As a compact family car with a starting price of 80,000 yuan, Emgrand GL has had very good sales since its launch. Today we will take a look at this compact car with many configurations that can be bought for more than 80,000 yuan - Emgrand GL.

In terms of appearance, Emgrand GL adopts a typical family design. The chrome-plated ripple grille is highly recognizable, and the integrated through-type decorative panel at the bottom, combined with the overall appearance design of the grille, conforms to the aesthetic taste of young people.

The rear of the car is more dynamic and pleasing than the front, but the taillights seem to have been seen somewhere before. The double exhaust is just a decoration, and the real thing is hidden under the car. In terms of body size, the length of 4.7 meters plus the wheelbase of 2700MM are already the leading level in the same class. The headlights are halogen light sources, and the taillights are LED light sources.

Entering the car, the large area of ​​brushed metal decorative panels is still the traditional style of Geely. The center console is covered with soft materials. The materials and workmanship are not inferior to joint venture cars. The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is a typical Geely design. It integrates multimedia and adaptive cruise buttons and is very convenient to use. In addition, the flat bottom design brings a touch of sportiness. The 7-inch display screen has good resolution and response. Several necessary physical buttons make it more convenient and safer to use when driving at high speeds. In addition, the door panel also adopts a two-color design. The brown leather wrapping on the inside is very classy. In addition, the top is covered with soft plastic.

As for the seats, the color matching design looks good. Except for the entry-level model, all other models are leather seats, and the high-end models are also equipped with electric adjustment and heating functions. In addition, the rear seats are also equipped with headrests and central armrests to greatly improve the comfort, and there are no bulges on the floor, which is very important for a compact family car, at least you won’t get cramps after sitting for a long time.

In terms of space, the performance of the front and rear rows are at the mainstream level among cars of the same class. As for the trunk, although the seats can be folded down, they are not flat after folding down.

In terms of configuration, the low-end version priced at more than 80,000 is equipped with rear parking radar, remote control key, trip computer display, automatic air conditioning, ABS anti-lock braking system with brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, body stability control, hill start assist, sunroof, tire pressure monitoring, leather steering wheel, reversing image, etc., which are what joint venture cars dare not even think about. In addition, automatic elite models and above also have air purification function.

In terms of power, the Emgrand GL is equipped with two self-developed engines: a 1.3T turbocharged engine and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum output power of 95kW/98kW and peak torque of 185Nm/170Nm respectively. It is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. In terms of transmission system, it also provides two modes: ECO and SPORT.

In general, 91che (Official Account: 91che) believes that as a new model in the domestic compact sedan market, the Emgrand GL faces the increasingly competitive domestic market, and its competitors include Changan Eado, Roewe 360, Lavida, and Nissan Sunny. It can be seen that the Emgrand GL shoulders great hopes and pressures. In addition to the price advantage, the Emgrand GL's excellent space and configuration are its core competitiveness compared to its peers. This is also the direction that domestically produced models have been working towards. I believe that it will not be long before domestically produced compact family sedans will win more attention and recognition from consumers like SUVs.
