Both cars are positioned as D-class, although the "five-door" is still more compact (4397 mm versus 4635 mm). Yes, and it differs in appearance - a different grille and bumpers. Belonging to segment D, of course, is a Chinese stretch.

Potential classmates from advanced manufacturers no longer have a rear semi-independent suspension or a one and a half liter engine; here it is also simple dashboard with a bright blue backlight, traditional for many Chinese cars. At the same time, for the representative Chinese car industry Emgrand EC7 is definitely a step forward. Externally and internally, the hatchback looks quite presentable, the interior is distinguished by thoughtful ergonomics. driver's seat, comfortable comfortable fit. Under the hood are licensed Toyota engines with a working volume of 1498 and 1792 cubic meters. cm with a capacity of 98 and 126 hp. respectively.

According to experts, in Russia, due to the specifics of the market and attitude towards the “Chinese”, the Geely Emgrand EC7 hatchback competes mainly with class B models. Like many budget cars, it has not escaped characteristic flaws, among which, first of all, the owners note a weak paintwork and poor resistance of the metal to corrosion, as well as mediocre sound insulation. The advantages of the car are a comfortable and convenient interior, good equipment at a relatively low cost of used cars (liquidity problems also affect here). The undoubted advantage is spaciousness, for example, the trunk has a volume of 390 liters, which is quite good for a hatchback that is inferior to a sedan in size. The relationship with the "Toyota" (engine and chassis) can also be attributed to the pluses of the model.

And so let's talk about the Geely Emgrand, this car was eagerly awaited for a long time, due to the fact that before the sale a rumor spread that this car was much better than its predecessors and would change your idea of ​​a car from China. And when the time came - motorists were able to evaluate the technical Geely specifications Emgrand ec7. It is worth saying that the car has a fairly acceptable price category and decent equipment.

The content of the article:

Em gr a nd - this is not a model name, but a sub-brand created by the Geely Group for the production of premium cars.

Due to the fact that Geely has already sufficiently filled the automotive markets with good, compact and not so expensive cars and decided it was time to go out for more high level. In 2010, the D-class model, Emgrand EC7, debuted, the development of which has been carried out since 2006 together with eminent brand companies. Over the development of the model 1200 specialists worked companies, as well as specialists different countries – To colleagues from Europe participated in the development external appearance, finishing the chassis - the Dutch (PDE), some components were purchased from other companies - Bosch (anti-lock braking system), Visteon (dashboard), Valeo (headlights).

Test dra iv j or emgr and es7 vi de o 20 15

Before going into production, machine has been tested in 160,000 km V various conditions . During crash tests, the car was recognized as the safest, on this moment, cars from China. So according to C-NCAP Emgrand received 5 stars, and ENCAP honored 4 .

So Chinese manufacturers decided to release a car model, which, in accordance with a fairly low price, can break into the ranks of high society cars in terms of quality. Naturally, very little time has passed for evidence so far, and only further use will show how this car will behave on our roads. Although manufacturer's warranty - 5 years or 100,000 kilometers , and this is significant.

In the meantime, let's consider the result of the work of Geely specialists, who tried to please motorists not only in China. Available in sedan and hatchback versions. The Emgrand EC7-RV hatchback, unlike the sedan, has a rounder and softer shape, bumpers and optics also differ.

Gee li em grand technical characteristics: fuel consumption, clearance, saloon

Outwardly, the car looks very harmonious, the chrome-plated false radiator grille is decorated with the emblem of the Emgrand sub-brand in the form of a heraldic shield. The front part looks somewhat aggressive, due to the stampings on the hood and the location of the head optics. But if you look at the car from behind, you can see similarity with Mercedes S-Class , the same massive, besides LED, rear lights, similar, protruding above the rear fenders, trunk line.

The overhangs of the bumpers are quite short, as for a sedan, and allow you to boldly rest against the curbs when parking.

The Emgrand developers have created a car, in its class, quite roomy and with rather small dimensions. Geely emgrand ec7 dimensions photo:

• Geely emgrand ec7 interior photo

Manufacturers produce Emgrand EC7 in trim levels Basic And Comfort. Drivers who wish to have leather interior(or rather from leatherette), parking sensors, and of course alloy wheels you will have to pay a little extra.

The first thing you notice when you open the salon door is Chinese plastic smell , although unlike cheap cars, it is not so strong, it disappears quickly enough. The salon is made in bright colors (light beige, this scares many because of the soiling), fabric inserts and gray plastic look nice. Leatherette strong , of sufficient quality, the plastic is soft and pleasant to the touch, and hard on the middle pillars and the center console. Joints are neat , there are practically no panels that do not dock, there are fewer shaky parts and when driving over bumps, extra sounds do not bother. In general, the interior is simple and practical, like many European cars.

Found its place in the center of the dashboard on-board computer , it works in a rather peculiar way: it shows the amount of fuel remaining in the tank, displays average speed, displays the total mileage, engine operation time, as well as the distance remaining before refueling, but you will have to determine the fuel consumption yourself - empirically. In the center of the torpedo, under a small canopy, located hours and near fog light indicators .

Geely emgrand ec7 disc size, Geely emgrand tank volume

Found a place in the center console audio system with a radio, CD / MP3 player, as well as an input for external media, oddly enough, this is not a connector for a USB flash drive, but just a mini-USB, the socket of which is displayed on front panel audio systems. The package comes with an adapter, which must be protected so as not to lose. The audio system works at a sufficient level , works even if the key is not in the ignition , but in the minus you can also put the fact that it does not turn off at the time when the parking sensors are activated (it has a rather quiet signal).

Some drivers complain about the small range of steering tilt adjustment, the steering wheel extension also does not change, however, all drivers quickly determine a comfortable position for themselves by adjusting the seat and steering wheel. The steering is four-spoke, the visibility of the instruments does not overlap.

As for the dashboard, it is readable in contrast, only the small gray numbers of the speedometer are hard to see without backlighting, the situation changes for the better when the dimensions are turned on. I was also pleased with the presence of a cigarette lighter socket at the same time as the presence of a 12V socket.

Characteristics of Geely Emgrand EC7:

• Powerful climate control with temperature control in the cabin in steps of 0.5 Cº;
• Power mirrors;

But, oddly enough, in all trim levels there is no heated seats.

And so, let's take a closer look at the geely emgrand ec7 interior. The driver's seat is high and provides good visibility due to the large glass area. The driver's seat is adjustable in height, the lateral support is small, but the lumbar support can be adjusted, while the backrest tilt of the front passenger and driver can be fixed in eight positions. Also, for a comfortable ride, sitting in front, are available:

1) double armrest,

2) Cup holder located in the door cards - bottles can be placed;

3) In the ceiling - a case (not large) for glasses;

4) Sun visors have illuminated cosmetic mirrors (girls will appreciate).

Disadvantages of Geely Emgrand 7: Of the minuses - there is nowhere to put the phone, a small glove box, although, as if to compensate for this, on the left side, near the steering wheel, there is another tiny glove compartment (it is not known for what).

geely emgrand ec7 geely emgrand ec7

In the back seat three passengers of medium build can accommodate quite comfortably, even if a tall person sits in front, the back row passenger will also be quite comfortable.

For their convenience: headrests - adjustable, armrest with cup holders - reclining, there are hooks for clothes, as well as a removable ashtray. The back of the rear sofa is proportional 60x40 folds up and you find yourself in a huge trunk.

The trunk deserves a separate discussion, geely emgrand ec7 trunk volume – 680 liters. The trunk trim is neat, the opening is wide and there the ability to carry cargo up to 180 cm long. The trunk can be opened in several ways:

• To the left of the steering wheel - a button;
• From the remote control - on the key;
• And even in the case emergency(in case of an accident) you can get out of the car through the trunk, as there is a handle on the inner tailgate (it has a phosphor illumination).

Of the pros trunk, it’s also worth saying that under the raised floor there is a full-size one, on a cast 15 - inch disc, spare wheel and a set of tools.

But the minus in that the trunk lid needs to be lifted by yourself, with your hands, since it is not equipped with a pneumatic closer.

• geely emgrand ec7 security

Geely Emgrand recognized in China (though not officially) the safest , since the ENCAP organization rated it at 4, CO 2 emission standards comply with European environmental standards, and according to C-NCAP it was awarded 5 stars.

2) All wheels have disc brakes;

3) ABS+EBD from Bosch.;

4) Curtains and airbags (front and side);

5) Increased strength and rigidity of the body, which was achieved by manufacturers through the use of laser welding (the body does not warp, putting one wheel of the car on the curb, you can close the trunk and doors without problems, there is no body skew);

6) Automatic headlight range adjustment;

7) light sensors;

With moderate driving, the noise is almost not noticeable.

Gasoline is suitable for both 92 and 95 (traction, as well as power on it, increase faster).

In frosts of -25 Cº, it starts up without any problems, and the Varta battery holds a charge for a long time. As well as a slightly stiff pedal assembly and a slight vibration when switching initial gears, and you can add a close pedal arrangement as a plus.

Soon after the implementation of the Emgrand project, Geely was able to take a leading position Chinese market. Cars of this line are popular not only in the usual countries for the sale of equipment from the Middle Kingdom, but also among very picky buyers. Today we will talk about the hatchback, which has become the most interesting offer for potential buyers in Russia in its price range. This Geely Emgrand EC7 RV is a fairly simple but very attractive car in all respects.

Chinese production does not force you to closely check the car before buying in the cabin. Even on photo Emgrand EC7 RV quality assembly is visible, compliance with all the required characteristics and features of the body. These features already indicate that the hatchback of the Emgrand series will not cause a drop in Geely's rating. Moreover, Geely Emgrand EC7 HB pleases with its cost, both when buying and in operation.

Appearance - we consider beautiful photos of cars

Geely rarely releases hatchbacks. EC7 has become one of the few cars in this body in the corporation's offer. Of course, the first generation has certain disadvantages that find a place in reviews and expert opinions. But buyers rarely say something bad about the appearance or construction of the Chinese flagship. Moreover, Geely offers such important advantages:

• the car is large enough, the manufacturer did not exchange for a compact body;

• there is a lot of space in the cabin, and the interior design is pleasant for driving;

• the driver's seat is equipped in all the traditions of a modern expensive car;

• despite the modest cost, the materials for the interior are quite presentable;

• ergonomics is combined with high durability of all interior elements;

• the car inspires a certain confidence not only on a test drive, but also in operation.

It is difficult to see all the features of the car in the photo, the car is perceived very well in the stream of other transport. It can be seen that the simple form rear lights somewhat spoils general impression, but a budget car usually has more such shortcomings. The hatchback of the Emgrand line has become a priority transport for Geely, the company is going to present an update for this model at the end of 2015.

Technique - almost a copy of the sedan

Difference in technical equipment with his brother on the conveyor in the body of a sedan in a hatchback is only in the design of the rear suspension. Here, the Chinese engineers redistributed the load angles somewhat in order to keep the machine parts in working condition longer. Otherwise, the technique is identical to the more popular Geely sedan. The buyer gets quite interesting sensations from the car when traveling:

• the hatchback rides quite briskly, which is emphasized by the shape of the body and the short rear overhang;

• youth design is justified in the adequacy of a 100-horsepower 1.5-liter engine;

• in the new generation they promise to add a 1.3-liter turbocharged unit with a potential of 131 strength;

• updated CVTs will also appear soon, which will raise interest in the car;

• among classmates Geely Emgrand EC7 RV has excellent efficiency.

Savings are felt not only when buying a car, but also during operation. A calm measured trip to Geely will help you spend no more than 7.5 liters of fuel in urban mode, and on the Emgrand highway it will require a little more than 5.5 liters. Also spare parts and repair work for this model will not be prohibitively expensive, the car is very practical and a good buy for any driver.

Successful purchase - counting money for a Chinese car

The main advantages of buying this machine begin to show when you study the price. Today's initial cost basic version 2014 release is 479,000 rubles, but the novelty will be somewhat more expensive. Nevertheless, even for 510 thousand you can hardly find a more acceptable option with all its technical advantages and real benefits. Among Geely's successful decisions in this Emgrand model, the following features should be noted:

• pleasant comfort, which is combined with full confidence when traveling by car;

• excellent ergonomic solutions and a pleasant choice of materials for production;

• unusual configuration Geely Emgrand EC7 RV, filled with great options;

• hatchback premium level, based on internal classification manufacturer;

• good level of transport, lack of savings on important points.

With such features, a hatchback can really be purchased, and the only good competitor remains the Emgrand sedan of the same manufacturer. Geely in the segment up to 500,000 rubles is still one of the best solutions. Although for this money you can buy a Korean car of a lower class, but many will prefer the Chinese offer.

Summing up

car with good performance and a nice bundle for affordable money - this is a good solution that you will definitely like. Geely Emgrand EC7 RV is exactly the kind of purchase that you will enjoy even with some minor flaws.

In the new generation, or rather restyling, all the shortcomings will be eliminated, but the hatchback will cost an order of magnitude more expensive. So if you want to buy Emgrand at affordable price, hurry up, until Geely presented a new product on the Russian market.

13.05.2015

Sedanovskaya version of the car from the Middle Kingdom, positioned by the manufacturer as a class D car. automotive market Russia, the car got to the middle of 2012. good start implementations of the car continued with the subsequent increase in its popularity among the drivers of our roads. As a result, the car sold 7,789 copies. Despite the crisis of 2015, the company did not falter, 4,929 cars were produced. Despite its already considerable presence in the market Russian Federation, the car has not undergone any updates, and this is despite the fact that Geely in China itself has already been restyled, which was at the end of 2014. Perhaps that is why the company from China showed everyone the new restyled Geely Emgrand EC7 Sedan 2015-2016 model years. Buy this model It will be possible already from the end of May, or rather the 31st of this year. Even the previous model of the sedan was able to win a good position with many drivers. In parallel, the Geely Emgrand EC7-RV (hatchback) version was introduced. The entire range of Geely.

Exterior

It is no secret to anyone that changes in the appearance of cars have become one of the fundamental points of any restyling, so the Chinese sedan is no exception. Thanks to the creative research of the design team from China, we got an improved appearance car. Although past releases of the car cannot be called obsolete, time does not stand still. This, perhaps, was the reason for the decision to carry out modernization, while saving key benefits machines, which can be attributed to amazing reliability, which some were a little pleasantly surprised. As for the front of the car, they changed the optical light-amplifying system, radiator grille, front bumper and nameplate. Headlights, in general, have retained their shape, but have acquired the latest in technology content with unique LED strips running lights, which loop between the main optical elements.

Also, the bumper was configured differently, which received a new air intake and modified side sections, which are used to accommodate the horizontal strokes of the fog lights. The restyled grille, which is beautifully integrated between the front light blocks, looks much better when compared to the previous model. By the way, similar words can be attributed to the entire front of the new Geely sedan Emgrand EC7 which looks very stylish and interesting. Side view Chinese sedan, shows us the presence of the correct outlines, a well-drawn back, which is decorated with sidewall ribs, which are very stylish. The sedan version differs from the hatchback version. That they have different body lines. Despite this, both variations look attractive and stylish. Outside rearview mirrors have received LED repeaters, which makes the side view of the car more successful.

As rollers, there are 16-inch alloy wheels that fit quite well into the overall appearance of the machine. This is much better than in more early model, because there were 15-inch rollers that looked a little strange, especially considering the large dimensions of the car. The stern of the Geely Emgrand EC7 Sedan reveals the presence of new Mercedes LED lights, C-class, covers luggage compartment with chrome molding across the entire width, a neat bumper with a plastic diffuser and reflectors on the sides. Got their seats and new fog lights and optics, in general. You can also find pseudo nozzles on the pipe exhaust system. Generally speaking, the update had a very good effect on the Geely Emgrand EC7. The car has become more interesting, attractive, noticeable and even youthful.

Dimensions

It is quite logical that the changes that affected the appearance simply could not but lead to changes in the size of the car. As a result, the length of the machine is 4,631 mm, the width is 1,789 mm, the height is 1,470 mm, the wheelbase is 2,650 mm, the height ground clearance at the level of 167 mm. It is clear that this is not a very high car, but we do not represent Geely Emgrand EC7 as an SUV, so everything is relatively good here.

Interior

The way the salon was designed updated sedan from the Middle Kingdom Geely Emgrand EC7 2015, simply cannot but please everyone who will sit inside the car. It provides modern equipment, high-quality materials and a high level of assembly itself, as well as new comfortable seats on the front row and a cozy rear sofa. The first row of seats is already in basic configuration has a heating function available, which simply cannot but rejoice, especially in winter time of the year. The upgraded interior looks modern and stylish with the introduction of a new steering wheel that has four spokes and tides on the rim in the correct grip area. All this is complemented by an informative and stylish dashboard with the classic radii of the power unit speed sensor and a speedometer, which are complemented by a massive on-board computer display.

On the right, there is a heavy and large front panel of a different molding with a considerable and wide plane of the console installed in the center, on which the new advanced multimedia system with a color screen that is 7 inches in size and supports touch input easily fits. Near it is the original control unit for the climate control system. The front seats received dense padding and well-developed lateral support. Those passengers who are sitting on the back sofa, and there may be three of them, will receive a comfortable sofa and a rather large supply of free space.

If we talk about the assembly in general, then its level has grown a lot, the equipment has become more modern and interesting. The Geely Emgrand EC7 sedan version wins a little in terms of headroom. However, this is not the only plus of it over the hatchback. The hatchback has 390 liters of useful space, and if you fold the rear seat backs, you can increase the usable volume to 1,000 liters. However, the sedan, already in the basic kit, comes with 680 liters. Although it does not say how many liters there will be if the backs are folded down, it is logical to conclude that this volume will be at least 2 times larger.

Specifications

In an updated sedan Chinese made Geely Emgrand EC7 stands fundamentally new engine, powered by gasoline, with a volume of 1.3 liters with a turbocharged 4G13T, which is capable of delivering as much as 133 horsepower. Such a power unit is synchronized with a 6-speed manual gearbox or CVT variator. The maximum speed is about 182 km / h. If we talk about fuel consumption, then it is quite modest, about 6.3 liters per 100 km. Steering mounted with electric amplifier. In addition to the brand new power unit, the Geely Emgrand EC7 will have the previous naturally aspirated engines. This is a volume of 1.5 liters (98 horsepower) and 1.8 liters (126 horsepower). More outdated motors come with a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT variator. If installed atmospheric engines, then only goes hydraulic booster steering wheel.

As for the suspension itself, it has not changed, everything is also in front of McPherson-type struts, and on rear wheels torsion beam. The braking system is represented by disc brakes, which are also ventilated in front.

Safety

TO security systems may include the presence of:

1. Alarms;
2. Central castle;
3. Anti-theft lock for the steering column;

• Seat belt alarms.

Active safety and suspension has the presence of:

1. Anti-lock braking system (ABS);
2. Systems that can distribute braking forces (EBD);
3. Door open alarms.

It's no secret how before the car made in China were crushed into a pile of iron during frontal crash tests at a speed of 60 km / h. The whole root of the problem lay in the thin metal from which the load-bearing body parts were made. However, today you can’t say the same about Geely Emgrand EC7, because Chinese experts have taken this problem seriously. Although this is partly not due to the ardent desire and concern for life car lovers, and due to the fact that the world market dictates its own rules, it is simply impossible to gain respect without providing good security.

Getting rid of plastic Bad quality And thin body, Chinese cars can quite compete even with eminent Japanese and Korean automobile companies. According to the result of the crash tests of ENCAP, the Chinese received 4 stars and therefore thoroughly entrenched in its positions in the world market. In addition to the use of thicker metal, the car received auxiliary side safety bars, which greatly helps in a side collision. Moreover, front and side airbags are installed.

Options and prices

It is no longer a secret to anyone that Chinese automotive manufacturers even in basic configurations, they provide a considerable list of equipment. Geely Emgrand ES7 2015 is no different. Poet standard equipment has a system keyless entry into the salon, start the power unit using the button, electric windows, on all windows, central locking on remote control, navigation system with a massive screen, audio system, air conditioning, a pair of frontal airbags, anti-theft alarms, EBD systems and ABS, heated and electric drive for exterior rear view mirrors, LED daytime running lights.

Among the minuses I want to highlight:

1. The quality of finishing materials is still lame;
2. Insufficient soundproofing of the cabin;
3. A small number of settings;
4. Not very comfortable seats;
5. There are places where the build quality of parts suffers;
6. The on-board computer does not provide the necessary information about fuel consumption, which is very strange;
7. Without the backlight on, the instrument readings on the panel are hard to see;
8. Big size car.

Summing up

If earlier everyone could joke about cars from the Middle Kingdom, especially about their quality, then today they are even able to compete with many Japanese, Korean and even European cars. Undoubtedly, this is a confident step forward for the company. Of course, she may have to improve her own cars, due to the fact that the automotive market does not stand still and simply needs to constantly develop, otherwise you can lose your places and fans. The design staff did a great job, which is clearly seen in the appearance of the Geely Emgrand EC7. The sedan received a retouch and new LED lights. The salon, although not distinguished by sophistication and the use of expensive materials, has nevertheless become a little better and more pleasant. In more expensive trim levels, there is a 7-inch touch screen. The front seats began to have improved lateral support. In the back row, three adults can easily sit down, and they will not feel discomfort either in their legs or in their heads.

The volume of the luggage compartment was pleasantly pleased, if necessary, it can be increased by folding rear backrests seats. A very weighty argument in favor of the Chinese updated sedan is the presence of good equipment even in the basic configuration, which Chinese-made cars have recently been famous for. Although power units which are installed in Geely car Emgrand EC7 do not break records, they calmly cope with their tasks. The company did not forget about ensuring the proper level of safety not only for the driver, but also for the passengers sitting nearby. Another plus is the company's fairly reasonable pricing policy. I really hope that cars from China will be constantly updated for the better, and the production of new cars will not stop.

The Chinese brand Geely feels more and more confident in our market, especially after the release of such an intriguing Emgrand EC-7 car in all respects. It can be seen that the car was designed and produced for Europe, taking into account their requirements not only in design and comfort, but also in safety. What european car no body choice? A sedan in this class is still more of an Eastern American or our trend. Higher class from this vehicle the model differs, the test drive of which you can also find on our website.

Sedan or hatchback?

Unlike its sedan brother, the Emgrand EC-7 hatchback received an additional door and a prefix of several letters in its RV name. The front of the hatchback is identical to the sedan. And why change something in such a "guise"? I really like it, that is, such a car is not just considered - it is bought! By the way, the price of a hatchback is only a few thousand more expensive, and the length is 23 cm shorter due to the overhang. The trunk has also significantly decreased, but the car’s capabilities for transporting more oversized cargo. And let, usually a couple of packages from the supermarket are transported in your trunk. In the life of any car owner, there comes a moment when he regrets that he chose a sedan instead of a hatchback.

Appearance

Externally Geely Emgrand looks very worthy! There are no fussy decorations or an abundance of chrome in it, which is - even gaps and high-quality assembly. There is a great desire to get into the demanding European markets, and not just to get, but to "bite off" a good piece of the European pie - not just a declaration of intent. The interior of both the sedan and the hatchback is almost identical. Such an interior could easily be in a car made in Europe. The Asian origin of the car gives out perhaps an abundance of blue on dashboard, and traditionally rich equipment. Emgrande really has everything and even more: central locking, leather upholstery, power windows, light sensor and climate control. Rear parking sensors, ABS and as many as 6 airbags are responsible for the safety of the car. This hatchback relies on a sunroof and alloy wheels.

Specifications

In the engine compartment of a hatchback, like his 4-x sedan cylinder engine working volume of 1.8 liters. Its limit is 127 Horse power. To get the maximum acceleration dynamics, the car will have to be twisted, since peak torque is reached at around 4200 rpm. It is achieved quickly enough and it feels like a confident pickup, but for some reason I don’t want to start every time in this mode. This "for some reason" is explained by acoustic comfort. Up to 3 thousand rpm, the engine is almost inaudible in the cabin, but the farther, the louder its song becomes! On the other hand, this does not prevent the car from showing the declared 185 km / h top speed. Moreover, regardless of the switching speed, the Geely Emgrand remains a very comfortable car.

Drive a Geely Emgrand EC-7 RV

Suspension "with a bang" is tested with very large irregularities. The price paid for driving comfort is not quite confident cornering. It should also be noted here that the very easy steering. You have to taxi at speed, and driving in the city with such amplifier settings is a real pleasure! By the way, very pleased with a very confident, as for such a size, fuel consumption. IN combined cycle- 7.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km.

Geely Emgrand is truly a new generation Chinese cars created with an eye on the European market. It has an elegant build, discreet and elegant design, enough powerful engine. At the same time, he still has a traditionally strong feature of Chinese cars - rich equipment for a reasonable price!
