New Chinese crossover Emgrand. Testimonials and characteristics

"Gili-Emgrand-X7" is one of the most successful projects of the Chinese car industry, which after a successful presentation in 2010 will soon be available to the domestic consumer. The preview of the model for Russian buyers took place at the Moscow Motor Show last year, after which the manufacturer did not say anything about official prices and supplies, leaving some information vacuum. After some time, the Chinese concern still informed the motorists of some information, which means that it's time to consider a new model of the X7 crossover Geely Emgrand.

Feedback from owners about the exterior

The company positions the crossover as a budget car, but looking at its external appearance, we can confidently say that in the future it will make serious competition even to such giants of the car industry as Chevrolet-Niva, Cherry-Tiggo and the French Renault-Daster ". Appreciate the appearance of the novelty can be without superfluous words, looking only at his photo.

Yes, indeed, Geely Emgrand was competitive . Experts' comments on the appearance of the crossover do not have any comments, well, in the opinion of motorists, the Chinese SUV came out stylish, fresh and attractive.

Inside

The interior of the new crossover is sheathed, mostly with plastic, but still this material has a fairly high quality and is pleasant enough to the touch. The steering wheel and seats are trimmed with combined leather (yes, it's the skin, you were not mistaken!), Which raises controversy about the car's belonging to the budget class Geely Emgrand. Reviews about the spaciousness leave quite a bright impression - the crossover can comfortably accommodate up to five passengers, with plenty of space left in the cabin. The instrument panel has two massive wells with LED backlighting, as well as two information displays that show the driver all the necessary information about the car. By the way, the novelty in more expensive complete sets can have a large panoramic sunroof that works on an electric drive. This hatch, unfortunately, there is no similar sedan Geely Emgrand ec7, reviews of which also did not cause much controversy in the capacity.

Specifications

The machine is equipped with only one gasoline engine. The unit with a capacity of 140 horsepower and a working volume of 1,798 cubic centimeters - this is the engine that will be installed on the Russian version of Geely Emgrand crossover. Experts' comments also do not exclude in the future the possibility of installing a 2.4-liter engine, which is still under development. The range of choice of the checkpoint here is small - just one 5-step "mechanics".

Geely Emgrand - reviews about cost

The manufacturer announced the start of sales of new items in Russia - this is the end of 2013 - the beginning of 2014, but the cost did not say a word. So no one yet knows what the exact price will be for the new Geely Emgrand crossover. Experts say that the cost of the car will vary from 550 to 650 thousand rubles.

This is quite a decent price for a budget crossover of Chinese production. It remains only to find out how reliable it will be in practice.
