"Gili Emgrand x7" - reviews of the owners. Chinese cars "Gili Emgrand x7"

"Gilly Emgrand X7" is, perhaps, one of the most successful models of crossover Celestial, which ever entered the world market. Now this car turns 4 years from the moment of its first debut. What is most interesting, originally the novelty was available only in the domestic market. But soon a cheap and high-quality crossover began to be bought all over the world. The Russian market was no exception. And today we will consider what the "Gilly Emgrand X7" has the owners' feedback, and learn all its features.

Design

The external appearance of the crossover can not be called budgetary, but at the same time, the design itself was not drawn from scratch. In appearance, the Chinese jeep resembles something between Subaru Forester and Toyta Rav 4. Having slightly transformed the front part with a new, high-lifted bumper and massive radiator grille, the Chinese developers made though not original, but very bright and interesting design of the car. A distinctive feature of the crossover is the highly raised "feed". Thanks to this design of the bumper, this car is able to overcome any descents and peaks.

And it's very difficult to name this model too - the broken lines and relief features of the body make the appearance of the "Chinese" relevant at all times. Excellent looking and inflated wheel arches against the background of cast wheels. In the profile of the car "Gili Emgrand X7" (the photo of this car can be seen below) has a very fast and dynamic look. And what is most interesting, "Gili Emgrand" - a representative of the auto budget class. And this means that with minimal funds for development, the Chinese managed to make the same bright and stylish crossover as its costly Japanese rivals Rav-4 and Subaru Forester.

Dimensions and capacity

The dimensions of the Chinese jeep are as follows: length - 4541 mm, width - 1833 mm, height - 2661 mm. Of course, if the "Gilly" belonged to the class of full-size off-road vehicles (SUV), such dimensions would be small. But since it is a mixture of a car and a jeep (that is, a crossover), 4.5 meters long is enough for the car "Gilly Emgrand X7". The owners' comments also note the large volume of the trunk. It can be put up to 580 liters of load. If desired, you can fold down the rear row of seats and increase the volume of the trunk by 2-2.5 times. About the passability of the "Chinese" can be said that far off-road on it you will not go, too small ground clearance - 17.7 centimeters. So the high raised forage - this is the only thing that makes it possible for a jeep to safely move on bumpy roads. If the bumper had been placed flush with the thresholds, the first exit to the mud would have torn it off. Yes, 17.7 cm is too little for off-road lovers. Although there is still a way out of this situation. The problem with low ground clearance is solved by lifting the suspension and installing more massive wheels. But all this entails additional expenses, therefore, in the most part, as the test drive showed, "Gily Emgrand X7" is suitable for driving on asphalt roads. But this is also very good.

"Gilly Emgrand X7" - owner reviews and interior review

Not only the appearance of the Chinese developers paid such close attention. The internal part of the crossover, despite such small external dimensions, is quite capacious. What is noteworthy, the adjustment has not only the front, but also the rear row of seats. Earlier, the concern "Gili" did not practice this technology on their cars. Interior design, as well as appearance, can not be called budgetary. Immediately the huge central console rushes into the eye, on which are placed all the controls, including the on-board computer. The console is successfully decorated with chrome inserts. A lot of buttons and round dials create the impression that you are not driving a conventional crossover, but in a real spacecraft.

The steering wheel is equipped with remote control buttons, and the speedometer and tachometer arrows on the instrument panel are recessed into two separate wells. By the way, the scale of devices is highlighted by powerful LEDs. The upholstery of the salon can be both fabric and leather. The latter option will be available only in the top models of the model (along with a large panoramic sunroof on the electric drive). Attracted attention and the exterior mirrors. If outwardly they seem so small and miniature (due to the presence of black inserts), then in the cabin everything looks quite different. All this, along with a large area of glazing gives the driver the ability to monitor the entire situation on the road and react in time in case of danger.

Engine specifications

The disease of all Chinese cars is a small variety of engines. Gili Emgrand X7 did not become an exception. The owners' comments point out the drawback that the crossover is not equipped with diesel or hybrid plants. The whole range of engines of "Chinese" consists of two four-cylinder petrol units. Among them, the basic is a two-liter 16-valve engine, capable of developing a power of 139 horsepower. In more expensive trim levels, customers can access a more frisky, 2.4-liter unit with a capacity of 150 horsepower.

Transmission

As for the choice of transmissions, on the Russian market the crossover is equipped with two types of gearbox. This is a five-step "mechanics" or a 6-step "automatic". The latter will be installed only on top versions of the SUV "Gili Emgrand X7". "Automatic", by the way, until recently was a luxury for many Chinese cars. In other words, the manufacturer simply did not envisage it. Now we can say that we are seeing noticeable progress - if earlier cars came with one gasoline engine and a mechanical box, now buyers are given the right to choose. That is, you can choose a crossover for your taste and purse.
