2 Answers
As long as the Emgrand GL is properly maintained and used, there are not many failures. The Emgrand GL performs well in all aspects. Here are the specific details about the Emgrand GL: 1. Exterior: The Emgrand GL continues the family-style water ripple grille. The front of the car features new integrated LED headlights, with the fog lights repositioned above the LED daytime running lights. The new 17-inch wheels and chrome-plated door handles enhance the premium feel. Additionally, the dual exhaust port design adds a sporty and youthful look. 2. Interior: The Emgrand GL is equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and a large central control LCD screen, giving the car a youthful overall appearance. It also includes smart features such as remote control via a mobile app, allowing users to start the engine, open/close windows, and control the air conditioning remotely. 3. Powertrain: The Emgrand GL offers two engine options: a 1.4T and a 1.8L, paired with a 6DCT dual-clutch transmission, a 6-speed manual transmission, or an 8CVT transmission for consumers to choose from. The 1.4T engine, once awarded the "China Heart" Top 10 Engines, boasts high performance, lightweight design, durability, and low fuel consumption. It delivers a maximum power of 98kW and a maximum torque of 215N·m. The 1.8L engine produces a maximum power of 98kW and a maximum torque of 170N·m.
I've owned an Emgrand GL for five and a half years, and the overall failure rate isn't too high, but I've encountered some common issues. The first two years were basically trouble-free, but minor problems started appearing from the fourth year, such as sluggish window operation and occasional brake light failures. Upon inspection, it turned out to be loose wiring connections and blown fuses, which were easy to fix myself. Maintenance is crucial—I stick to servicing every 5,000 kilometers, checking the engine oil and electrical systems, which has helped avoid major failures in components like the engine or transmission. From what I've gathered, other owners report similar experiences, with electrical issues being the most common after five years and occasional rust spots on the body. However, overall durability is better than earlier domestic models. With regular maintenance and avoiding aggressive driving, the Emgrand GL's failure rate can be kept very low, maintaining its high cost-performance ratio, making it a great choice for budget-conscious buyers.
