Emgrand is a car under the brand.

The Emgrand is actually the flagship sedan model under Auto. This series has been a veteran domestic product since its launch in 2009, with its initial design specifically handled by an overseas team, giving the entire vehicle a distinctly international flair. I've driven my colleague's hottest Emgrand GL, and sitting inside, you can feel the progress of domestic cars: the leather seats offer strong support, the central touchscreen responds quickly, and the 1.5L engine paired with a CVT transmission delivers a smooth ride. The key point is that it starts at just 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, yet comes with practical features like a rearview camera and cruise control—no wonder it's been the sales champion among independent brands for many consecutive years. Nowadays, you can spot the new Emgrand L Thunder hybrid on the road, with its three-stripe taillight design that's particularly eye-catching.

My friend's family just picked up a new Emgrand, and I went to experience it specifically. This car belongs to Geely's entry-level family sedan, and its overall design aligns well with Chinese aesthetics. The front grille with a starry sky pattern paired with a black logo gives it a more youthful look. With a 2730mm wheelbase, it doesn't feel cramped even with five people on board, and the almost completely flat rear floor is particularly practical. What surprised me was that a car priced just over 100,000 yuan comes with a 540° transparent chassis, displaying the underside view on the central screen when turning. The 1.5TD engine consumes only about 6 liters per 100km, and my friend mentioned that the monthly fuel cost is even cheaper than taking the subway. High-end technologies from the same group's Lynk & Co and Zeekr have actually trickled down to the Emgrand, no wonder so many people are driving it on the road.

The Emgrand is a common sight in auto repair shops for , solidifying its position as Geely's best-selling model. After the 2016 facelift featuring the brand's signature ripple grille, it adopted a more premium approach with noticeably improved panel gaps. One of its most practical features is the built-in tire pressure monitoring system – it once alerted a driver in time when a nail punctured the tire. The chassis tuning leans toward comfort, absorbing speed bumps well, though body roll becomes noticeable during aggressive cornering. Parts are remarkably affordable, with a genuine LED headlight assembly costing just over 800 yuan. The newly launched Champion edition adds rear AC vents, further enhancing its family-friendly appeal.

As automotive media editors, we've extensively reviewed the Emgrand series. This is Geely's most successful sedan lineup, with cumulative exceeding 3 million units long ago. The fourth-generation Emgrand adopts the BMA architecture, showing significant improvement in body rigidity. The blue-and-white interior color scheme feels refreshing, with 90% of the dashboard area covered in soft-touch materials. Interestingly, the infotainment system comes pre-installed with the Volcano Auto Entertainment app, allowing users to browse short videos while charging. The driver assistance features are generous for its class - it's particularly commendable to see AEB automatic emergency braking in this 100,000-yuan segment. During our test drive of the hybrid version last year, we observed a remarkably low fuel consumption of just 4.6L/100km in charge-sustaining mode, with the battery pack neatly tucked under the rear seats without compromising trunk space.

There are five Emgrand sedans parked in the residential underground garage. After chatting with the owners, I realized how popular this national family car is. has incorporated Volvo's safety technology into the Emgrand, with 65% of the body made of high-strength steel. One neighbor, a female driver, scraped a pillar while reversing, but upon reviewing the dashcam footage, she found that the collision warning had automatically triggered. The child safety lock design is thoughtful, with a mechanical switch on the side of the rear door to prevent accidental activation. The recently launched Asian Games edition even added a rear center headrest, making long-distance travel much more comfortable for middle passengers. Three-year owners generally report that maintenance is affordable, with minor services costing just over 300 yuan.
