Where is the USB port located in the Emgrand?

The USB port in the Emgrand is located near the cup holder in the center console area. Simply open the dust cover to see it. Taking the 2020 manual comfort version of the Emgrand as an example, its body dimensions are: 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a curb weight of 1255kg. The 2020 manual comfort version of the Emgrand features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 PS, a maximum power of 80 kW, and a maximum torque of 142 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I just started driving the Emgrand recently, and the USB port is usually located in the center of the dashboard, just below the multimedia screen, near the air conditioning controls. When driving, I need to charge my phone or connect to CarPlay, and this position is really convenient—just reach out to plug or unplug the cable without getting distracted. Some higher-end versions also have a hidden port inside the center armrest, which is suitable for rear passengers. If you can't find it, I recommend checking the user manual, which includes diagrams explaining the location differences—for example, older Emgrand models might have it slightly closer to the steering wheel. It's important to keep the USB port clear of debris and regularly clean dust to maintain smooth connectivity. Additionally, for cars that support fast charging, the USB charging speed is decent, especially during long trips when using navigation, so you don’t have to worry about the battery draining too quickly.
My wife drives an Emgrand GL for family use, with the USB port installed at the front of the center armrest box. It's easily visible when the lid is opened and is conveniently within the driver's arm reach. When we take the kids out for trips, they always compete to charge their devices, but this location keeps the cables from tangling and maintains a tidy car interior. In terms of design placement, it might vary slightly depending on the model—for example, the Emgrand GS SUV has it a bit lower inside the glove compartment—but overall, it's highly practical and easy to operate while driving. Over time, you might notice that the USB port tends to accumulate dust, leading to poor contact, but wiping it occasionally can prevent connection issues. Some models also separate data ports and charging ports in different locations, so it's worth paying attention to the configuration list when purchasing a car to avoid confusion.
