2 Answers
Geely Emgrand GS steering wheel is equipped with electric power assist. Advantages of electric power steering system: The system has a simple structure, small mass, and occupies less space; it only consumes electricity with low energy consumption; the electronic system responds sensitively with direct and rapid action. Disadvantages of electric power steering system: Since the motor directly drives the steering mechanism, it can only provide limited assistance, making it difficult to use in large vehicles; at the same time, there are more electronic components, and the system stability and reliability are not as good as mechanical components, especially in certain situations where continuous steering is required, it may cause the power assist motor to overheat and stop working; lack of road feel information greatly reduces the fun of actual driving; higher manufacturing costs, etc.
I just got my hands on a Geely Emgrand GS not long ago, and the steering wheel is incredibly light and easy to handle, making parking and turning effortless—definitely a benefit of the electric power steering system. Compared to the old hydraulic power steering, electric power steering is more fuel-efficient and hassle-free. In congested city roads, a slight turn is all it takes to navigate small curves, saving a lot of effort. I’ve tried driving for two hours straight on a long trip, and my shoulders didn’t ache at all. Even when taking my girlfriend for a spin, she finds the car much easier to drive. The Emgrand GS’s electric power steering integrates modern technology, such as providing more stable steering during sudden braking or acceleration, reducing any tendency to wobble. While repairs might be troublesome if the motor fails, I’ve had zero issues in the six months I’ve owned it. I’d recommend young car owners opt for this setup—even an entry-level car can be driven safely and comfortably.
