Geely Emgrand (5th Generation) Overview
In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 4.81 meters in length, 1.88 meters in width, and 1.48 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.75 meters. Curb weight ranges between 1.35 and 1.4 tons. The relatively long wheelbase provides generous interior space, ensuring comfort for both front and rear passengers. Its proportions are balanced and elegant, giving the car a refined and premium appearance that exceeds expectations for its price segment.
The fifth-generation Emgrand offers two powertrain options. The first is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 120 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed CVT transmission. This setup focuses on smooth driving and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for daily urban commuting. The second option is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering 181 horsepower, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The turbo version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds, providing stronger performance for highway driving and overtaking.
One of the main reasons to recommend this vehicle is its design. The exterior looks modern, stylish, and more upscale than many competitors in the same price range. For many buyers, appearance is the first deciding factor, and the fifth-generation Emgrand stands out with its confident and premium styling. At the same time, its pricing remains highly accessible, offering excellent value for money.
The model lineup includes four trims: two naturally aspirated versions and two turbocharged versions. The entry-level 1.5L naturally aspirated model comes with 215/16-inch tires (other versions use 17-inch wheels, while the top 1.5T trim can optionally be equipped with 18-inch wheels). It features steel rims, tire pressure warning, a single rear-view camera, a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, and four speakers. However, it does not include ultrasonic radar, parking sensors, keyless entry, a sunroof, rear air vents, or rear cup holders. This version focuses primarily on affordability and practicality.
The higher 1.5L naturally aspirated trim and the 1.5T entry turbo trim significantly upgrade the equipment level. These versions include parking radar, a 360-degree panoramic camera system, and a 540-degree transparent chassis view. The number of cameras increases to four, along with four ultrasonic sensors. Alloy wheels replace steel rims, and features such as keyless entry, an electric sunroof, a larger 14.6-inch infotainment screen, six speakers, rear air vents, and rear cup holders are added. L2-level driving assistance is available as an option, enhancing safety and convenience.
The top 1.5T trim further enhances safety and comfort. It offers optional 18-inch wheels, standard L2 driving assistance, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning. The number of cameras increases to five. Power-folding side mirrors with automatic folding upon locking are included, along with heated seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat, making it the most feature-rich version in the lineup.
Reference prices range from approximately 65,900 RMB to 82,900 RMB depending on the trim level. Considering its size, performance options, and configuration upgrades, the fifth-generation Emgrand delivers strong overall value within its segment.
