The differences between Vision and Emgrand: 1. Different vehicle dimensions: Emgrand measures 4631mm in length, 1789mm in width, 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm; Vision measures 4599mm in length, 1747mm in width, 1482mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615mm. 2. Different powertrains: Emgrand is equipped with a new 1.3T turbocharged engine; Vision is powered by a 1.5L high-efficiency and energy-saving engine. Both Vision and Emgrand are compact sedans, with Emgrand featuring front-wheel drive, a maximum power of 98kw, and a peak torque of 185nm at 2000 rpm.
When I was comparing cars before, I looked at the Vision and the Emgrand. Even though both are Geely's own brands, their positioning is completely different. The Vision is positioned as an entry-level commuter car, with an out-the-door price of around 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. It has sufficient features but feels plasticky, and the small trunk opening makes it inconvenient for loading large items. The Emgrand costs about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan more, but it has more soft-touch materials inside, an extra two fingers of legroom in the back seats, and a more stable chassis at high speeds. In terms of power, the Vision's 1.5L engine is fuel-efficient but struggles when overtaking, while the turbocharged version of the new Emgrand has much more responsive acceleration. If you ask me, the Vision is a solid choice if you're on a tight budget, but if you want a more comfortable ride, go for the Emgrand.
I had a chance to test drive my neighbor's newly purchased Emgrand, and the difference compared to my old Vision is quite noticeable. The Emgrand's windshield has a more pronounced rake angle, with A-pillars that don't obstruct visibility as much, making lane changes much more reassuring. The infotainment screen is two inches larger than the Vision's, and with built-in navigation, there's no need for a phone mount anymore. The door closing sound feels solid, unlike the tinny feel of the Vision. The Emgrand's trunk is three centimeters deeper, allowing a stroller to stand upright without the wheels getting stuck. However, the Vision comes with reverse parking guidelines on its camera, which is more beginner-friendly. If you frequently use the car to shuttle kids around, the more expensive Emgrand is indeed the more practical choice.
