Author - Kaga User: -llwcc

Whether it's playing games or a lot of things in life, we always have to go through the process from unfamiliar to proficient, when not so familiar with a thing, may not be so sensitive, not aware of so many problems and details, usually think "Oops is almost good" - is it the same for driving? Those of us who drive too much may tell you whether the steering feel, the chassis filter and the power output are smooth or not, but if you talk to a person who has just got a driver's license for a long time, people may only think, "Why are you so expensive?" How amazing is the car? ”

At this point, everyone must be able to understand the meaning of this title, right? Novice Village is the most suitable place for the new Geely Emgrand to exist, as the first car to practice, it is suitable for those new customers who pursue cost performance.

appearance

Not to mention, this design is really pleasing to the eye, and the texture and premium sense coexist. I took photos of the new Emgrand and showed them to several of my friends and relatives, and everyone without exception recognized that this was Geely, but generally believed that this was a "more advanced" Geely car with a price of more than 100,000 yuan. When I said that the price of this top-of-the-top model naked car was less than 90,000, everyone was full of surprise, and even some friends suddenly showed a strong interest and decided to find time to see the real car - good design really has this positive effect, after all, everyone wants the car they bought to look more textured and expensive.

(The atmosphere is finished, it looks really quite noble)

(The through-style taillight actually has an animation effect that I never expected)

For me, I think that in the embodiment of the sense of luxury, the color of this show car plays a big role. The unconventional gray is more reflective of the manufacturer's efforts in design than the white everywhere, although the dark car is not as good as the white can highlight the bumpy side lines of the vehicle, but the visual impact of the color may be more intense than the side waistline. The family design style is not much to say, the front looks really a bit of the meaning of Xingrui; the tail of the car uses a penetrating taillight, and there is a flowing animation effect similar to the Audi matrix taillight when unlocking and locking, although I don't like this kind of fancy stuff, but this thing suddenly seems that this car is very expensive.

Interior

As soon as I opened the door, the interior surprised me even more. The blue and white color matching, the solid leather steering wheel, suddenly attracted me to this "interior texture control", only love light interior I really have a moment to be amazed, compared to the low-end black interior is eight hundred times better. From the design point of view, the overall shape and functional layout and Xingrui is also very close, even at first glance the texture is better than the next door also used the all-black interior of the Xingrui looks better, need to be strongly praised is Geely in its entry-level family car are very generously arranged a variety of soft materials, including the center console above and the two sides of the door panel above, although not that particularly soft feel, but can definitely be experienced is soft (here whiplash Lexus new NX, the door panel along the hard bang bang material is really not like a high-end car), Although the craftsmanship and neatness of the various stitches still need to be improved in the details, the general surface is really good. From the use of functions, each part of the buttons are also in the right position, the central control also retains the necessary air conditioning operation buttons, worthy of praise, the GKUI system built-in in the central control of the smooth operation is also very good, the function division and ease of use can also make me satisfied, is a usable system.

(No contrast, no harm)

Separately present a small advantage and two small slot points. The advantage is that the effect of the panoramic image is very good, at least when played separately from each angle of the picture, the clarity is extremely high, although the display effect after the splicing can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but with the high-definition effect of a single camera and the so-called "transparent chassis" function, it can be said that it is a big help for novices who have just driven. Slot point is the sunroof control without physical buttons, which is a point that makes me very surprised, the sales introduction said that the sunroof can be controlled by the voice system, and can also be arbitrarily sliding in the central control interface to control the size of the opening area, I wonder what is the need for this, a physical switch is a cost? Or does Geely really think it's very technological? We don't quite understand, we don't dare to say, anyway, dealers can still introduce this as a highlight, I don't understand, fortunately for me I basically don't use the skylight. There is also a so-called "full LCD instrument" is actually just an ultra-low-cost fixed screen number display screen, but you want to say that it is a liquid crystal bar, it seems to be true, and at least the interface is relatively clear, but the font of the driving computer (especially the tire pressure part) is really a little small.

(100,000 yuan can have this display effect is really commendable)

Space and ride

Emgrand as a positioning home model, the ride must not be too collapsed, the front and rear seats I can find a more comfortable riding angle, especially the rear, the back angle I think is just right, the rear also provides two or so independent air conditioning outlets, adjust the texture is also OK. But the absolute space in the rear is not particularly large, after the front row is adjusted to my driving sitting position, for my height of about 170cm, I can only have less than two fists of leg space in the rear seat, and after the driver's seat is adjusted to the lowest, I can't put my feet calmly under the driver's seat, the upper of the shoe always has to have some unpleasant friction with the seat, so that I feel that the foot is stuck under the seat, to a certain extent, it also limits the sitting posture of the rear, if the front and rear seats at the same time more than 175cm height passengers, Maybe the ride comfort will have to be discounted. And this rear seat doesn't have a central armrest and a central headrest — it would be too far-fetched to say that the little point that bulges in the middle of the backrest is called a headrest. Although the seat can be guessed that it must not be genuine leather, but the feel and softness are very good relative to the family car at this price, the leather also has some specific grain holes, at least in this regard, it is carefully thought, and the texture is added by one point.

(I can see the strengthening of the shoulder support, which really plays a role for my figure.)

(The wide-angle effect is as above, actually not so big, and I can see my cramped feet)

There are also some places that need to be praised in terms of storage space, and the regular storage space that should be there will not be repeated here, just say some places that I think are good. The storage space under the center console is a highlight, I only saw the shallow large storage slot when I got on the car, but the sales told me that there is a storage compartment with a certain depth above me, although the height is not high, but you can naturally put down a Huawei MATE 30 size mobile phone horizontally, it is more convenient to take and place; if you think the mobile phone can be placed on the lower level, then this storage compartment can put some more hidden things, I think the practicality is still good, at least in the heart to do. In addition, there is a very well-shaped hook on the side of the center console near the co-pilot, which looks not obtrusive at all, the texture is also good, and it is not too much to use it as an interior decoration if you don't hang something.

(Forgot to take a close-up of the bottom of the central control, you can see that the layout of the storage space is still very reasonable)

The trunk is very deep and relatively regular, the rear seat back can also be opened and poured, there is no need to worry about baggage loading, and the trunk will automatically bounce to the maximum angle when it is opened, which is convenient for the loading of large luggage. The problem is that this trunk does not have an external opening button, I think it is really an intolerable problem, after all, as a model equipped with keyless entry, installing a sensor switch can be said to be a matter of course, even if Emgrand is equipped with a key induction opening function on high-end models, I don't seem to have tried this function out - even if you have this function, shouldn't you give me a choice?

(The space is big, nothing to say)

Driving and handling

Although it seems that for the pure family shopping car of Emgrand, it should not pay too much attention to driving, but since it has been tried, it is still necessary to objectively make some statements about the advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is naturally there, and obviously, absolute smoothness. 1.5 naturally aspirated engine plus CVT gearbox, as if it has given you only want to take the Emgrand to represent the consumers to eat a huge reassuring pill, after trying I do think that this reassuring pill is not a fake and shoddy product, you can say that it accelerates slowly, you can say that it has no passion, but there must be no way to say that it is not smooth, although the test driving conditions are limited, but in the normal driving experience I did not feel a little frustration and not smooth, the throttle and brake are linear and progressive in the work, will not give people any mental pressure, In layman's terms, it is quite easy to get started, quite suitable for novices and consumers who only pursue transportation.

(On the whole, it can be said that it is a relatively easy to drive car)

Now that the big advantages are finished, we will start to talk about the deficiencies. The main point is the absolute power, although limited by the road conditions I can not accelerate at full speed, but even if I drive normally I can feel that this machine is not a power player, although the start and low speed driving are very light, but once in the middle speed area after want to accelerate is really a little tired. Bigger flaws come from the control level, first of all, the steering feel is not my favorite type, although there is a certain sense of damping, when turning at a large angle, it will feel a little advanced and the so-called "sense of stability", but when the small angle steering input will still feel ethereal, as if the car is completely unaware that you are operating the steering wheel, and this part of the trip feels very "virtual" - if you are interested in trying it yourself, it is a sense of experience that exists on some of the older electronic power steering models. Further, the connection between the steering and the body is almost disconnected, the steering feel is very blurry, I don't know where the front of the car is going when I turn, and the steering action of the front of the car is completely disconnected from the hand, if you try to change lanes several times while driving, this feeling will be particularly obvious, which is really unbearable for me, the owner of the Mazda - but then again, if it is just a comfortable driving substitute, what is the problem? Too flexible steering may also be disliked, so a certain amount of weight, but vague and non-directed steering feel may be exactly what some people want.

(This steering wheel is really not my favorite feeling)

NVH

The new Emgrand really has no highlights in terms of NVH, and there are still many flaws. First of all, the noise level, physical sound insulation itself is not too good, tire noise road noise and other aspects are just mediocre, the noise of the engine is a bit outrageous, I can clearly perceive the opening of the accelerator pedal through the noise from the front cabin when I sit in the co-pilot - the noisy sound of the engine is unlimited speed, even if the speed displayed on the "LCD meter" is only the number at the beginning of 1, but those noisy sounds will still make me aware, let alone when the speed is high.

(A picture of water, some propaganda words)

The filtration aspect is also relatively general, there are two extremely high cement speed reduction belts in the test driving site, as well as two normal height "basement entrance and exit" speed reduction belts, and a small section of sand and gravel road, I can obviously feel the obvious vibration from the front bridge when the Dorsett is on and off the speed reduction belt, can not filter the big vibration at one time, feel to shake two or three times, the vibration of the rear axle is not so exaggerated; the filter when passing through the sand and gravel road is acceptable, but the feeling from the chassis is still relatively fine.

But then again, it is still for this price point, since it can give such a large body and so many configurations, it is always necessary to save development costs in some places - NVH is a clear embodiment, at least the chassis texture is really completely inferior to Fit and POLO - but they and Emgrand will obviously not be a consumer group, we will pass.

Value for money and recommendations for purchase

In view of the new Emgrand's top match (that is, the flagship type) is only 88,900 yuan of the list price, and the sales said that the final full landing price is only 99,000 yuan, then I think the low-end model does not need to be considered, even if it is for the extra four airbags, it can be worth 5,000 yuan more than the second top of the premium type - yes, the new Emgrand in addition to the full series of top matching, are only equipped with double airbags, so I do not recommend that you buy any configuration other than the top match, anyway, the top match is also very cheap, It also seems very advanced, it is true.

(But this is the slogan that the manufacturer printed on the leaflet...) I really don't know how round it is)

If you go to the store to listen to the (conscientious) sales consultant to give you a good introduction, and then carefully study the configuration list, you will feel that Geely really understands the customer group you are facing, and those advanced configurations can be said to be a non-falling on the top model: electric leather seats, power folding rearview mirrors, panoramic images, smart car machines with traffic, etc. Are readily available, and as I said above, you will not feel that these functions are just installed on the car to fool consumers into making a gimmick. Whether it is the hardware texture or the use of software, it can be seen that the manufacturer has spent some thought, unlike some manufacturers who will only stack configuration gimmicks and actually find that it is not easy to use at all. I won't name it, everyone may have their own answer in their hearts, and Geely's progress in this regard over the years is still worth affirming.

summary

From the point of view throughout the text, I believe that everyone can definitely clarify the user group facing the new Emgrand: want to buy their first car or add a scooter to their families (most of the users are novices on the road), only pursue down-to-earth transportation, driving, control, performance and other aspects of no non-division, very concerned about cost performance, like atmospheric design and good interior texture, do not mind domestic brands, such consumers can almost go directly to the 4S shop to pick up the car, this car is built for you, Buy it is finished; but once you have your own requirements and ideas for driving, or drive more cars that have certain requirements for driving texture, do not care about the level of configuration, then this car must not be suitable for you, buy Fit steadily.

By the way, I will also buy Fit at this price.
