Differences Emgrand 7 from EC7. Updated Geely Emgrand EC7 Overview

Jilie Emgrand EC7 2017 - This car from the Chinese automaker.

In it, designers improved the characteristics, external and internal design.

External appearance of the updated Jil Emgrand EC7, unlike model Row, it looks expensive and representative. Now the dimensions of the car have become somewhat more.

The front of the car is similar to the current Asian cars famous modelsBut also has his own highlight. On the large grille of the radiator from chromium there is a logo of the concern. The front lights and stamping on the cover of the hood speak about the predatory form of the front. It can be said, appearance looks restrained than sports. "Familories", which will be installed in the flank variation, are made in a sporty style.

The side part lies on the Mercedes C-class - the same kind of dated rear standsflowing into a small luggage department. Smooth windowsill line, a large glazing and a streamlined roof, and also looks beautiful new design wheel disks. New external mirrors with turning repeaters and heating. The model is equipped with 16 inches. Disci from light alloys.

In the back, an updated LED optics appeared, on the luggage cap there is molding from chromium, a compact bumper with a diffuser of plastic and side reflectors. In general, the car looks very stylish and original. Some configurations have 2 exhaust system pipes and they look very sporty.

Interior Jilie Emgrand EC7

In the inner decoration, Geely Emgrand EC7 has small changes that practically do not affect the interior layout. A renewed 4-spoke steering wheel with two blocks of buttons to manage multiple options appeared in front for the driver, the other instrument panel and a slightly modified console in the center. In the flank version there is seven inches. Assorable display with good informativeness, which concerns the multimedia complex, it is quite functional. Decoration Materials good quality, as well as a good layout of many parts.

Armchairs in front with a good profile and good lateral support, even in standard equipment He heated. Handle S. automatic transmission Large, and the cup holders are placed ahead.

The rear row is quite spacious, 2 and 3 people will be located with convenience. If it is 2 people, you can apply a folding armrest with two cup holders. Equipment of standard modification includes: multifunctional steering wheel, front PB, anti-slip brake system (ABS), ELO option. The distribution of brake efforts (EBD), immobilizer, air conditioning system, steering column is adjustable by tilt, as well as email. Window drive on all doors. Hatch with email. drive, as well as cruise control and climate system.

In more saturated modifications, in addition to these include: rear parking sensors, a climate system operating on the machine, a system of audio with CD / MP3, radio, USBIs linear connector, chairs, skin-upholstered and leather braid steering wheel.

The flanking includes: side PB and security curtains, the 2nd locking option of all doors, email. Power windows opening with Du. There are also a structure of invincible access inside, engine start key, "Signal",

Engine Geely Emgrand EC7

Those. Characteristics and motor gamma of the updated Gili Emgrand EC7 is not bad. The car is equipped with 2 power units - inline location, gasoline 4-cylinder:

1. The first is the volume of it 1.8 liters. Power is estimated at 126 "mares" - at 6200 rev / min, and the peak of the torque reaches 172 Newton on meters - at 4250 rev.
2. Junior motor - 1.5 l. With a capacity of 98 "mares" - at 6000 rpm, the peak of the torque - 126 Newton on meters at 4000 rpm.

Engines work with 5-speed "mechanics", not so long ago the older motor works with the CVT variator. Senior motor works great and on low revolutionsBut, not to wait for special acumes from the car. This can also be said about the suspension - the MacPherson design is ahead, on the back - half-dependent beam, and with everything, adjustments provide good energy intensity and smoothness of promotion. And during the promotion of high-speed turns, the car rolls, which concerns rolls, they are very noticeable.

Not so comfortable sitting inside the car will feel yourself from the high-speed driving, since the steering control and adjustment of the hydraulic amplifier make it empty - it is good in the parking lot, but bad on the road. The safety of the car takes care of the brake structure with ABS and EBD from the BOSH manufacturer. It can be said that in the car a large number of overseas components - for example, a lighting of Valeo.

The baggage compartment of the new car is capable of taking a 680 liter. Various clashes.

Final conclusion

Designers and designers were well bothering over the updated car. Concerning motor gamma and specificationsthen they are also improved. Exterior, and internal decoration updated, several new features appeared in the equipment. As for the cost, it is in order of things inexpensive. Selection from all outlined will make themselves.

This car in Ukraine was expected with an unusual impatience for "Chinese". Even before entering it, it went to sell it, which will turn the idea of \u200b\u200bcars from the subway. That he, they say, an order of magnitude better than his compatriots, and is relatively inexpensive. Many things were said, and now, then the long-awaited "time of h", when EC-7 became accessible to everyone.

We deliberately decided not to dwell on the appearance of the sedan, leaving the reader the right to decide how successful the efforts of designers were. We note only the overall impression of the harmony of the machine, the striking similarity of the stern Emgrand EC-7 with Mercedes S-Class And relatively short bumpers for such a sedan, which makes it safe to rest in the borders when parking.

History of the model

Further, we will pay the focus of the technical part and the operational features of EC-7, but to begin with, it is worth saying a few words about how the car has appeared and where the unknown name Emgrand came from. This is not the name of the model, as it would be assumed, and the subbrend created by the Geely Group for the production of premium cars under it.

EC-7 became the first car in the Emgrand line. Its development began in 2006 by the forces of 1,200 specialists of the Institute and a number of companies from around the world. Closing the chassis, for example, was engaged in a Dutch PDE, among customers of which companies such as Audi, BMW and Volvo. Italian, German, French firms participated in work, and before the model was launched into production, it passed 160,000 km of tests in various conditions.

In short, Geely did everything to please motor lugs outside of China. Was it? This is what we have to find out.

From words to business

For infoCar.ua test, I received Emgrand EC-7 in the maximum complete set of Comfort for 113,900 UAH (on 09/20/2011 - $ 14240). From basic configurationwhich costs 3000 UAH cheaper, it differs only by the upholstery of perforated organic skin and rear parking sensors (see full list options in the InfoCar.ua catalog).

A light-beige "organicer" in combination with fabric inserts and gray plastic is pleasant to the eye, but we were more interested in the quality of assembly and materials. It would probably want to hear that it leaves much to be desired, but it is not like that - the skin is not thin, the plastic is quite pleasant to the touch, the joints are neat, but an unpleasant, artificial smell in the cabin, which many are so afraid, practically no. Unlike many other new products of the Chinese car industry, there are no "cheap ponts" (plastic "under the tree" and low-quality chromium) - everything looks simpler and practical, which is more characteristic of European cars.

Around the driver

The inclination of the backs of the front seats can be fixed in one of the eight positions. The driver's seat is adjustable in height and even has adjustable "lower support".

The steering column, unfortunately, is regulated only by tilt, while the driving takeaway cannot be changed. However, everyone who sat down behind the EC-7 steering wheel in our test managed to quickly find a comfortable position for himself, picking up the optimal combination of the settings of the steering wheel and armchairs.

In the middle of the dashboard there is a screen on-board computer. It allows you to be aware of how much fuel remained in a 50-liter tank, it shows the total mileage, the average speed, distance to refueling and the engine operation time. Watch Indicators Turning on the fog in the center of Torpedo, and what is the central console, then the air conditioner control unit and an audio system with a radio receiver, a CD / MP3 player and a USB input found it.

It was pleased that the USB port jack is derived to the front panel of the audio system, and not hidden under the cap in a certain mysterious place, to which it is not forgiving, which is often found not only in chinese cars. But in EC-7, a surprise was waiting for us - the Mini-USB input to which it cannot be connected without an adapter. Fortunately, the adapter is attached. The main thing is not to lose it.

The audio system, by the way, works even when the key is not in the ignition lock is a plus. Minus - it does not turn off when the parking sensation is activated, the signal of which you can't call loud. Quality of audio data sounds? Normal, given the price class of the car.

Pleasant trifles include the presence of the cigarette lighter and 12V sockets, which will not have to be brushed from garbage and ash.

Climate control is quite powerful and allows you to adjust the temperature in the cabin in a step of up to 0.5 degrees.

A bit strange for top equipment Looks instead of buttons to the left of the socket of the socket and to the right of the handbrake. Obviously, for the inner Chinese market there are still some functions inaccessible to Ukrainians. Perhaps this is heated seats. We did not find other obvious disadvantages.

The driver and the front passenger will be where to place your things. They are available cup holders, eyecraft case in the ceiling, into which, by the way, only classic flat glasses models, bottles places in doors cards, as well as a two-level armrest. True, convenient place for mobile phone We did not find it - you will have to "put" it in a cupboard or hide in the armrest.

There is also a glove box, which will be able to put only folded A4 paper in half. Perhaps, a modest compensation for such a lack, the driver will serve as a tiny "glove box" to the left of the steering wheel, but it is difficult for us to imagine that it can fit there bes beyond the matchbox, business cards or chewing gum packaging.

The ladies "to taste" will have to prevent mirrors in both sunscreen shields with backlight, but even more surprise caused the manufacturer's attention to the work of electric windows - the creators took care that when the glass is accidentally pressing the glass button, it is not started instantly to omit. To do this, it is necessary to hold it in the presidential condition. Trifle, but nice.

Convenience of passengers

Landing on the back sofa is quite comfortable for three not too large passengers, foot spaces - at least debug. To see for this, we planted on the front passenger chair of a person with an increase in 193 cm, and behind him there was an infoctor-sheep with a growing 188 cm. Here are the advantages of a 2650-millimeter wheelbase!

From pleasant trifles for the rear row passengers, we note the presence of a removable ashtray, hooks for clothes, a rug on the central tunnel (very relevant for a light cabin), a folding armrest with cup holders and sufficiently convenient height headrests.

Features of the trunk

Before moving to our impressions from driving a car, tell about the luggage compartment. It is very spacious (680 liters), with a wide opening and very good. The backs of the rear seats, as expected, fold in proportions 60:40, allowing you to carry a load of up to 180 cm. In the trunk there is a backlight, and a full-sized spare wheel with a "cast" disk and a set of tools is hidden under a fairly rigid row. True, the lid of the trunk is not equipped with a pneumoder, so it will have to be lifted. But from the inside of the door, we unexpectedly discovered a handle with phosphate illumination, it allows you to open the trunk from the inside. What for? Probably in order to get out of the car's salon in an emergency situation.

Ways to open the trunk, by the way, two more - to the left of the steering wheel and from the remote control on the key.

Drive

Now we ride! The first thing that pays attention is the tragment and Dinamka of the 1.8-liter 127-strong "four" with the system of changing the phases of gas distribution. Its power is enough even when driving with air conditioning and five passengers in the cabin. Not every Chinese motor boasts such a traction. The problem is only that by 3000 turns and above the engine noise penetrates the salon, but this is already a lack of noise insulation motor compartment. Strying noises from the street practically do not fall inside.

EMGRAND EC-7 Pedal Node Some of our "test pilots" seemed slightly harsh. But the pedals are located close to each other, which is very convenient. And only a slight vibration of the adhesion pedal when switching the initial gear slightly spoils a common positive picture.

A lever of a 5-speed manual box is long-point, but the transmissions are turned on clearly. The steering wheel is not too "light", but quite sensitive. For maneuvering at low urban speeds, this is unconditional dignity.

The safety of passengers EC-7 takes care sensitive brake system and a bunch of ABS + EBD from the German company Bosch. The car is equipped with light sensors and automatic adjustment of the angle of headlights. There are front fog lights.

Some words deserve chassis. Front on Emgrand installed racks from McPherson, and the back is a semi-dependent beam. It all seems to be standard, but the essence of the EC-7 suspension in its settings. It is quite energy-intensive with a wide move, but potholes and irregularities are still felt. We managed to smooth the picture with a decrease in tire pressure, the benefit of the high profile allows you to. The reverse side of the length of the shock absorbers is the valve of the car in turns, which is a little tangible than I would like.

It is worth noting that in this model Geely engineers significantly increased the rigidity of the body through the use of laser welding, which we were able to make sure putting the car with one wheel on a high curb - doors and trunk closed without complaints.

Let's return to the tires. The car is equipped with rubber with a fairly high profile - 205/65 R15. This step towards practicality should appreciate our fellow citizens - the risk of damageing the disk or bus on Ukrainian roads is minimal. The price of one "winter" wheel fluctuates within 650-900 UAH. (choose winter tires size 205/65 R15)

What is the result?

Geely Emgrand EC-7 According to the editorial office of InfoCar.ua, it really has to serve as an impetus to a significant change in the image of the car from the Middle Kingdom. At least with regard to the brand that it represents. At the first acquaintance, EC-7 gives the impression of a good high-quality auto, unlike most of their compatriots, and it actually will actually show the practice of exploitation on our roads. Skeptics may soon calm down on this car - 5 years or 100 thousand km. Run.

What can not agree, today in the Ukrainian market to find competitors to this car at the ratio of price-class-grade is very difficult. A close alternative may be unless the compatriot Chery EastaR, which, however, is slightly more expensive and "poorer" in the configuration, and the view is losing. Strengthened the competitive position of Emgrand EC-7 should and automatic box Transmissions produced in Australia, which will appear in the near future.

For the objectivity of the assessment, we decided to give the opportunity to spend a short test of the car 5 drivers, each of which noted the pros and cons.

Weak places Jil Emgrand EC7

• Body;
• Salon;
• Trunk;
• Suspension;
• Steering;
• Power units;
• Transmission.

Most Chinese production machines have a weak side. Geely Emgrand EC7 did not exception. Metal is very thin, painting low quality coating. All this leads to the fact that on the body after the year of operation, chips and scratches appear, which are covered with rust. You can avoid this problem3. To do this, it is necessary to process the sedan with an anti-corrosion agent. Make it better immediately after purchasing it.

Little Washer Tank. The liquid in it quickly ends and it is necessary to add it often. It's not easy to perform, since the bay neck is in an uncomfortable place and very low.

The cabin has a lot of shortcomings. The main ones are:

• Ceiling height. The salon is spacious, but the roof is low. Passengers whose growth exceeds 180 cm, is extremely not comfortable in it. Since they rest on their heads into the ceiling;
• Landing. The location of the steering wheel, the pedals and the seats are unsuccessful. This leads to an increase in the load on the legs and the driver's lower back. Especially acute the problem is when traveling for a long distance. The driver tires the back, swell his feet. The manufacturer knows about this shortcoming, but even after the rasterling did not remove it;
• Soundproofing. In the cabin are heard outsided sounds. Especially noise from the work of the wheels. After the rastiling, the situation only worsened. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe wheeled arches, the replacement of boots on plastic sneakers was replaced;
• Interior. Not enough place to store small things;
• On-board computer. This device has low informativeness. It does not display data on fuel consumption, which air temperature on the street. It is not very convenient that the device is not Russified;
• Highlighting keys. Some drivers are annoying. It is necessary to adjust its brightness;
• Audio system. There is no possibility to include radio on a small volume. Fix the position will help the firmware of the complex.

The design of the luggage compartment is unsuccessful. Its opening is narrow, the fastening loops are large. This complicates the transport of bulk cargo. As for the capacity, there are no complaints.

Chassis

The suspension is a vulnerable vehicle. The manufacturer poorly adjusted it. To avoid problems during operation, it is necessary immediately after purchasing the machine to make the collapse / convergence. This event will improve handling and will have a positive effect on wheel wear.

Jilie Emgrand badly tolerates irregularities on the road. This is explained by the fact that the hard suspension is installed. When driving a lying policeman, an increased vibration occurs in the wheels in potholes. It is impossible to eliminate such a flaw.

Shock absorbers Boyachka almost all instances. Their resource is small, so necessary frequent replacement. It is necessary to monitor the location of the silent blocks of the front levers. They can shift.

Transportation of three passengers on rear seat Negatively affects compression buffer rear shock absorbers. They are deformed, plastic files break. Increased wear and rear pads. Specialists recommend revising the suspension every 80 thousand miles of run.

Steering

Steering with low clarity. Therefore, the driver needs to be as attentive when performing complex maneuvers at high speed. Over time, you can get used to it and adapt.

Power units

In the Russian market, cars with a motor 1.8 liters are more common. They look like engines proposed by the Japanese brand. Some experts call them to Toyotovsky, but it is wrong. Power units are simply their analogues and gather in China. The reliability indicator is significantly inferior to the original.

The drive timing chain and is able to stop long enough. Despite this, his condition must be followed. Even with small runs with it, problems may arise. The most common is to stretch it. If the defect does not fix, then the meeting of the pistons with valves is inevitable.

Geely Emgrand EC7 is sensitive to quality lubricating fluids. By purchasing used, you need to replace them with new ones. Since the former owner could use bad consumables and not comply with the amount. This will negatively affect the quality of the vehicle's work as a whole.

There are faults with a sensor. They appear in the form of a decrease or not stable revolutions, poor motor reaction to press the gas pedal. Sometimes the car stalls after the air conditioner is turned on. Cause at the failure of the sensor throttle valve. As a rule, it clogs. Cleaning the node will help troubleshoot the problem.

Some drivers notice the strange engine work. For example, when switching transmissions or, as soon as the movement starts, revolutions increase. This behavior of the power plant is explained by the features of the electronic pedal and is not a defect. Thus reduces the emission harmful substances in environment. Vehicle Complies with the requirements of the EURO-5 standard.

Sometimes on the instrument panel light up aBS light bulbs and EBD at the same time. It is necessary to reset the terminals on the battery. If it did not help, then you should go to the service center. The masters will determine the cause of the problem and eliminate it.

5-speed auto occurs on the car mechanical box Transmission or stepless variator. The first durable, complaints only for not very clear work. Moreover, the defect is not found in all models, but on some copies. The lifetime of the clutch is about 80 thousand km.

As for the variator, there are more questions here. Installed knot Belgian clinorem. Controls the most commonly controlled electronics. As soon as the selector goes into the drive, the motor is gaining momentum, but the car remains motionless or rides back. To resolve the problem, you need power installation restart.

Basic Disadvantages of Geely Emgrand EC7

1. Body is not galvanized;
2. It is not possible to adjust the departure of the steering wheel;
3. Gas pedal stroke large;
4. The drill in traffic jams depends on the rotor of the motor;
5. The workshop is large;
6. Seats are not warmed;
7. Uncomfortable location of safety belts;
8. Electronics gives malfunctions;
9. Water appears in the cabin;
10. During the work of the relay of janitors loudly clicks;
11. Pensive variator;
12. There is no highlighting of the space where legs are located;
13. It is difficult to sell on the secondary market.

Conclusion.
The Geely Emgrand EC7 car has pros and cons. It is important about them to know when buying. Especially when it comes to a used version. If the engine and transmissions provide good service, then problems with their work will not arise up to 100 thousand km. More often unpleasant surprises presents the variator. This car not for those who count only on replacement supplies During operation. It requires more attention to himself.

In addition, it is worth remembering that its liquidity is low. Sell \u200b\u200ba car in second hands with mileage more than 100 thousand km will not be easy. In third hands with mileage up to 200 thousand km almost impossible. At the same time there will be large financial losses. It forces many drivers before selling twist mileage.

Weaknesses, Advantages and Disadvantages Geely Emgrand EC7 Was Last Modified: November 24, 2018 by Administrator.

Climate control, cruise control, ESP, 6 airbags. Raise me a century! Is it really about the car belarusian assembly? Yes, this is all the updated Geely Emgrand 7, whose sales recently started in Belarus. The site did not miss the opportunity to try out the new creation of the domestic automation.

The above options are available only for the car in the maximum configuration, as we have on a test drive, except ESP enters the standard equipment of all versions. And this is already great progress. But let's go about everything in order. The theater begins with hangers, and the car from the ignition key. A weighty keychain Geely Emgrand 7 I like it - a solid, high-quality thing, in which you will not know the ownership of the Chinese brand.

Approaching the car, notice on the door handle, the tail key in the cabin. This feature is included in the basic equipment of all versions. But it works somewhat strange. Going out of the car, you can press the key on the door handle and thus close the locks. But for some reason open the doors open with the button on the keychain.

Before sitting in the salon - a few words about appearance Auto. If you look strictly in the FAS, everything is fine. Modern optics, stylish front bumper with built-in strips of LED running lights - in the rear view mirror you do not immediately recognize that for the model from the back - or Mercedes-Benz, or Nissan, but without frank borrowing. The profile is noticeable that the car is far from modern trends in design. Perhaps the situation could correct the larger wheel disks, for example, R17, but it would immediately affect the cost.

The interior was surprised. And with both good and bad side. Let's start with good. In the cabin, the normal smell - there is no trace of the former Chinese "flavors". Finishing materials are surprisingly good. For example, the front panel is made of soft and pleasant plastic hand.

However, there is a reservation - in the basic version the front panel is ordinary, "solid". Puzzled still strange patterned insert from rigid plastic in the center of the front panel. Neither the functional, nor aesthetic load she carries. Later, I noticed the same pattern on the rear bumper. Yes, the plan of Chinese designers turned out to be the idea.

But to the way they drew the interior as a whole, I have no questions - quite modern, stylish, without stripping and frank cheapness. Surprised door cards - there are full-fledged handles and soft inserts from the same skin as on chairs. The engine starts with a button, and this is also available in the basic configuration.

Alas, without a spoon, I did not cost. And my biggest claim - to the convenience of landing. More precisely, to her inconvenience. Firstly, steering wheel Regulated only on the angle of inclination, and in a very small range. Secondly, the chair has a limited range of adjustment in height.

As a result, only people with growth will be able to get driving more and less conveniently 180 cm. With my 186 cm, I was forced or completely shift the driver's seat back, but at the same time it is barely to get to the helm with my hands, or move forward and sit with a lot bent knees. As I tried, some middle position never managed to find.

And what about? No special amenities, but without discomfort. Even when landing "after me", I had a small stock before the backrest of the front chair, my head was not resting to the ceiling. There are full doors handles, an ashtray da armrest with two cup holders.

The trunk opens either from the key or the button in the cabin. On the lid no keys are provided. The trunk itself is spacious and neat, but you can sing on the absence of rigging loops and compartments for trifles. Under the floor is stored "Single" and a standard set of tools.

Now about the technique. In the price list on Geely Emgrand 7, only one engine is available - 1.8-liter gasoline power of 129 liters. from. It meets the norms of Euro-5. Nevertheless, a version with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine is present on the Belgee plant's website.

But the transmissions are exactly two - a five-speed mechanical or stepless variator. The test copy turned out to be with him. This is an aggregate of the Belgian company Punch. In addition to automatic mode, the variator has a manual, with six fixed positions of the pulley of the variator, which mimic the usual "transmissions".

From the place of Geely Emgrand 7 shakes smoothly, though with a small delay. If you do not try to break from a room in a quarry, then the bundle of "Motor-Vicarizer" works well. However, under the load, the engine makes itself felt noticeable noise.

The variator is not particularly trying to imitate the work of the traditional "automaton". In the traditions of stepless transmissions, it first displays the turnover into the zone of the maximum torque, and then begins to change the gear ratio. As a result, turns are in place, and the speed increases.

Especially this effect is noticeable with intensive acceleration with the gas pedal in the floor, and the engine noise is already becoming discomfort. The motor is overwhelmed, pulling not the most pleasant note for the ear. We measured overclocking dynamics, and best result It became 10.4 seconds to "hundreds". Good indicator.

The suspension has a good energy intensity, but finely irregularly transfers in detail. Rolls in turns are vigilant, but not critical. And here steering With the hydraulic plug, it does not matter. The steering wheel was too light in all modes - that in the parking lot, which is at high speed. In addition, he makes 3.5 turns from the stop until it stops, which, according to modern standards, is too many.

At high speed, in the track modes Geely Emgand 7 rides confidently, slightly swinging on the waves of asphalt. The threshold of a comfortable ride is 120 km / h. Further, the noise level in the cabin becomes too high.

To verify the work of the stabilization system, I made a standard imitation of the "enemy test" - a leak of a sudden obstacle. Well, ESP your function, as it turned out, performs successfully, although it works quite rudely.

It is impossible to disable it, and this is perhaps the better - even with the electronic "collar" included in Geely Emgrand 7, a leaning towards drift is noticeable. I note that even with a very rapid performance of the productivity, the hydraulic cylinder is enough, the steering wheel does not "stuck."

The final impression of Geely Emgrand 7 I got contradictory. I could not get used to an uncomfortable landing, and it really spoiled my life at the wheel. Over the sound insulation, too, would not hurt to still work. Basic noise sources - engine and wheel arches. And the suspension would be slightly more collected, although there is no complaints about its energy intensity.

In the asset I will write a high-quality interior, and even in the basic version with the front panel of rigid plastic. I note the presence of ESP in the "Standard" and two airbags. By the way, even the car of the previous generation scored 4 "stars" from five possible in the most hard crash test Euroncap.
