Geely is ready to shake up the sub-compact sedan segment with the launch of the 2022 Emgrand. Hoping to repeat the success of the Coolray in the sub-compact SUV segment, the Emgrand brings quality, technology, and contemporary aesthetics to the Philippines’s largest and most competitive market segment by volume.
As China’s best-selling sedan for nine years, the Emgrand is the product of continuous improvement for Geely. The fourth-generation model now rides on the brand’s BMA platform and is built at the brand’s new
5G Connected Factory
. Overall, it has a class-above body size measuring 4,638 mm in length and 1,822 mm in width. It also has an ultra-low 0.27 co-efficient of drag and center of gravity.
Outside, the Emgrand takes on the new Energy Pulse grille design, Geely’s newest design language reserved for its line of sedans. This is then flanked by full LED headlights with daytime running lights. Over to the side, it wears 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/50R17 tires, while at the back, full-width LED taillights give it a sense of visual width and drama, especially at night. Other exterior features include power folding and heated side view mirrors and a sunroof.
The use of the Coolray’s platform has enabled Geely to give the Emgrand class-above space as well. The horizontal, wide cockpit design gives a minimalist look and feel, while freeing up additional legroom for those seated in front. The NVH is also impressive with in-vehicle noise registering at 37 decibels making it quieter than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Passengers aboard the Emgrand are also treated to class-leading features such as smart keyless entry with push button engine start, leatherette/suede combination seats with a 6-way power adjustment for the driver, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, 8-inch infotainment screen, and an electronic control for the air conditioner with rear vents.
Powering the Emgrand is Geely’s newest 1.5-liter normally-aspirated 4-cylinder engine. Equipped with dual continuous variable valve timing, it’s tuned to deliver improved fuel efficiency. For the Philippine market, it makes 102 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque on 91 RON octane fuel. This is then mated to a CVT with eight virtual gears and cruise control. On the other hand, four-wheel disc brakes and the use of Bosch’s latest 9.3 ESP system also helps it achieve a 100 km/h to zero km/h braking distance in just 36 meters.
Aside from the aforementioned electronic stability program, the Emgrand also comes with 6 SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, tire pressure monitoring, speed-sending door locks, and reverse parking sensors with rear camera.
The 2022 Emgrand comes in six colors: Proud Teal, Dark Blue, Gold, Gray, Red, and White and in two variants with the Emgrand Premium priced at P 908,000, and the Emgrand Comfort priced at P 798,000. The pricing also comes with a free 1-year PMS. An entry-level Emgrand S will join the line-up in the coming months.
