Geely New Emgrand

Geely New Emgrand. 2014 to date (prod. n/a). 4- and 5-door sedan. F/F, 1299, 1498 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Facelifted version of Emgrand EC7, now under the Geely brand, and exported as Geely Emgrand 7. Base models with 1·5, developing 80 kW, while new 1·3 turbo delivered 98 kW, though it lacked direct injection. The interior, the EC7’s weak point, slightly improved with more chrome and a big central screen, but the plastics remain harsh. Handling and ride not up to scratch, with semi-independent rear torsion beams.
