The launch time of Emgrand L feels dragged on for a long time, and this volume product that should have been a successor to Emgrand GL will only debut on the last day of 2021. Geely Automobile has only set two prices for Emgrand L: the flagship type of 99,900 yuan and the supreme type of 109,900 yuan, which can be said to be really a high-end entry, and all the series are high-end. The early users also have a cash discount of 3,000 yuan, 6 free maintenance times in 3 years, and other policies such as free traffic and replacement discounts, and the actual purchase price is lower.
Why is Geely Auto priced like this? Very simple, compared to other independent brands below the bottom of the product, often need to use naturally aspirated engine products to do a configuration of about 80,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan is naturally high-ended. On the Geely side, the entry-level compact family car has the fourth generation of Emgrand, the shape and texture are very capable, directly covering the 70,000-90,000 yuan market; and then there is Xingrui to guard the 110,000-140,000 yuan high-end A-class car market. Therefore, Emgrand L does not have to provide a 1.8L naturally aspirated displacement as before, but directly uses turbocharged models to hold the 100,000 yuan mark.
A brief review of the appearance of Emgrand L, first of all, the use of Geely's latest "energy storm" design, the dense diamond-shaped grid front grille is radial shape, coupled with the sharp headlight group design, so that the entire front face looks particularly advanced. The side of the body is basically similar to the Emgrand GL, but the taillights have been changed to a through-line design, which is more youthful.
The interior is replaced by the new design on the Emgrand, the entire interior uses a large number of soft materials, it is said that the coverage area reached 90%, including the front IP table in addition to the air outlet are soft material wrapped. In terms of screen, the new Emgrand L is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch high-definition suspension central control screen, and the entire front IP station is also horizontally designed, in line with the current intelligent trend. Behind the big screen, there is the Geely Galaxy OS ecosystem, and the whole design and sense of refinement have been greatly improved.
Therefore, if the Emgrand L is compared with Changan Yidong PLUS and Yixuan MAX, the static sensory God Howl is still more in line with the aesthetics of the young people's era, and if you choose one of the three, then the Emgrand L will be the preferred model.
This time, Emgrand L also canceled the previous 1.5TD three-cylinder engine, which is a comprehensive consideration of cost and market. The Emgrand L series is equipped with a 1.4T + CVT powertrain as standard, with a maximum power of 104kW and a maximum torque of 235N·m, which can only be said to meet the needs of the family, but compared with the Blue Whale 1.5T including Chang'an and the Mach Power 1.5T of the Wind God, it is still slightly inferior.
In terms of configuration, compared with the same models within 100,000 yuan, the flagship version of emgrand L of 99,900 yuan is 3,000-6,000 yuan more expensive than the premium version of Yidong PLUS and the super power dad version of Yixuan MAX, but if you count the promotion policy, it will basically be equal. However, the Emgrand L has 17-inch wheels, 360-degree panoramic images, induction trunks, etc., which are richer than their opponents. And the 12.3-inch central control large screen is not only the largest in size, but also the most abundant in functions on the Galaxy OS, with a six-speaker design.
If you're willing to add $10,000 – and I highly recommend you do that – there are basically no opponents when you choose the Supreme Edition. Emgrand L has L2 assisted driving at this price point, while Yidong PLUS and Yixuan MAX are either only anti-collision or have nothing, and this configuration alone is worth 10,000 yuan. In addition, the Extreme Edition also has a 10.25-inch LCD dashboard, 8 speakers, seat heating, automatic far and near light, and a mix of leather and fur seats, which is more advanced.
Overall, from the static perception and configuration level, Emgrand L has obvious advantages over several popular independent car models. But if you really have some doubts about the 1.4T power output of Emgrand L, then you may wish to wait a while, in 2022 Emgrand L will also be equipped with hybrid platform RayTheon Intelligence Engine Hi · X, the launch of a hybrid version of the model, so it is expected to compete with the Japanese hybrid.
