Can the Emgrand be modified with rear air vents?
3 Answers
Emgrand can be modified with rear air vents. However, modification is not recommended. Introduction to Emgrand: Geely Emgrand (referred to as Emgrand) is a sub-brand under the parent brand of Geely, equipped with a GeTec DVVT turbocharged engine, using wheel drive, with a maximum power of 98kw, and the turbo intervenes at 1800 rpm. Definition of Emgrand: The Emgrand brand represents both inheritance and breakthrough for Geely Auto. Its logo design is noble and exudes a strong international quality. While shedding the historical baggage of Geely's original image, it also effectively inherits excellent inherent cultural genes. The dignified and noble connotation of the logo will effectively help the Emgrand brand to develop a broad and stable market.
I am the owner of an Emgrand GSe and had the rear air vents installed last year. The whole experience was very satisfying. Since my family often sits in the back for long trips, the lack of rear vents in the original car was indeed uncomfortable, so I consulted a professional modification shop for an evaluation. The shop said they needed to check the power of the air conditioning system, and my car barely supported adding ducts and adjusting vent positions. The modification cost around 1,500 yuan, including materials and labor, and took about 3 hours to complete. The improvement was noticeable—the rear airflow became much more even, and it no longer feels stuffy in the summer. However, there was slight noise initially after the modification, but it wasn’t a big issue once I got used to it. I recommend finding an experienced shop to avoid affecting the original car’s AC efficiency or potential water leakage. Overall, it’s worth trying, especially if you frequently have rear passengers.
As someone who frequently engages in minor car modifications, I believe the Emgrand model can definitely be retrofitted with rear air vents. My own base version of the Emgrand didn't come with this feature originally, but the modification isn't difficult. First, you need to check the type of air conditioning system in your car. Most Emgrand models require the addition of extended ducts and vent covers for rear air vent retrofits, matching the fan speed. I chose to have the process done at a professional shop, costing approximately 800 to 2000 RMB, depending on the materials and brands. After the modification, the rear seats cool down faster, and my kids no longer complain about the heat during rides. However, don't attempt to modify it yourself recklessly, as it could lead to uneven airflow or noise issues, and might even affect the warranty. Additionally, some lower-end models may have insufficient air conditioning power, and retrofitting could increase the load without worthwhile benefits. Therefore, I recommend consulting a reliable technician first to assess feasibility.
