Good afternoon.
For the first time I decided to write a review about the car, because. the car is well-known, it is of interest, but there are not enough objective reviews. Basically, one hears “they rot shamelessly”, “it’s better to take a 30-year-old Japanese”, “parts fall off while standing”, or “yes, a cool car”, “better than our priors”, etc.
A little about myself: until 2015, an ordinary manager, he sold vacuum cleaners for 150 thousand rubles, Tinkoff cards and other crap. Then he moved to cargo transportation, where he worked until 2015, after which he became deputy general director at the well-known recreation center in Tyumen.
About the cars that were:
1. The first, which is the most vivid in my memories - Chevrolet Niva 2004, got at the age of 2 years, with a mileage of about 60 thousand rubles, from her father, who from the first day did not particularly feel sorry for her, did not indulge, but did not launched. Having bought a new Nissan, Shniva went to me, and in addition to my trips around the city, to study, with girls to nature, the two of them went hunting, where even I did not feel sorry for her. The car went to wear, in 2011. year sold with mileage, do not lie, 200t.km. it definitely was. Problems up to 90t.km. with her was not, then it started on the little things. Fortunately, then there were already incomes, drove to his master, shook up the suspension, replaced the chain in the engine and up to 200t.km. went and changed only consumables, pads and candles. Sometimes topped up omyvayku.
2. In 2011, he sold Shniva, and decided to try his hand at a passenger sedan, because. there was no time to travel out of town. Acquired in Tyumen new ford Focus 2, 1.6 manual transmission. The car is good, but a year's drive, having rolled 55t.km. got into a big accident. The car was restored, but I no longer wanted to drive. Put up for sale, but that's another story. 7 months did not sell, as a result it turned out in 2013. year to change to a six-month-old Chevrolet Niva with a mileage of 14t.km.
3. As you understand - Chevrolet Niva 2013. all perfectly rolled up to 150t.km. with little damage.
4. It was necessary to urgently sell the Niva and bought it, almost on a whim, I thought for a month or two FF2 2008g.v. which rode until recently and sold.
There was a question about buying only a new car, sedan up to 500-600t.r. I didn’t like anything from the import, Solaris - A mixture of priors with Nexia, Priora - a dozen in a beautiful wrapper, Grant - outwardly sympathetic, not very inside. Vesta is good, but raw and expensive. All sorts of logans and stuff - just did not consider. I was already thinking about taking the 3rd focus of a 2-year-old, but I didn’t want to use it. I already tuned in to Grant, the best that fit the parameters, but I really wanted to take a car so that people from behind would not rest against my seat. I remembered that in the 13th year I had a chance to ride on Geely Emgrand. Decided to go to the salon and immediately realized HERE He is. The car that I need. Cute appearance, silhouettes are guessed famous brands. The cabin is spacious, comfortable, plenty of space, does not look boring. The trunk is spacious. Finally took it. 2 days for pre-sale preparation, of special stages only met.protection of the crankcase.
Options Basic, Conder, ABS, speakers without radio, heated front seats, all electric lifts, PTF, DRL, regular signal.
Now about the car itself:
Salon for 4+. Everything is not clearly adjusted, there is not enough steering wheel adjustment for reach. But in general, I sat down well with a height of 185. At first it was not customary that I was reaching for the steering wheel, now I'm used to it. Visibility is normal, there are enough mirrors for a rear view. There is enough space for 4 people. The trunk is huge, but loading is not convenient.
Engine: 4-row 1.8 with manual transmission - no complaints. Works great with the box. Consumption at first was about 8-9, now 6-7, at a speed of 130-140 on the highway.
Suspension: ambiguous. kind of soft, kind of not. the rear beam is superfluous, they could make an independent one. In terms of behavior, it resembles FF2, it enters turns perfectly, does not roll, does not shake. up to 160 - it goes smoothly, after it already starts to scour.
Concerning comfort - a noise isolation for this price - space. Like a Bentley, I guess. I traveled Tyumen-Omsk-Tyumen, my back never hurt. As if he had hit the road to the village.
In general, for this money, the car is beautiful, the best, if not for a few BUT:
1. The paint is very thin, in the first week two chips appeared on the hood. I still don't paint, no rust.
2. Assembly - tear off the hands, the gaps on the sides are different. I will butt heads in Of.Diller so that they exhibit.
3. All sorts of little things, such as an unfitted elastic band, or a broken seam on the visor - still spoil the impression of the car. At first you sit down, you think that in an expensive foreign car, when you look closely, you can see that China is of Russian assembly.
4. An incomprehensible hook in front, which you constantly knock on the curbs.
5. At the very first MOT, he did not leave the repairmen until they made sure that the gears turned on clearly. Everyone assured, the rug is thick, everyone has it.
In general, I am very pleased with the car, it will definitely last for three years. For the money, it's better to take it than ours or Logan / Solaris.
I'll post a photo later.
Geely Emgrand X7 is a five-seater crossover of the Chinese automaker Geely. The car debuted in 2011 in the city of Guangzhou. This model is very popular in Russia and Ukraine, in other countries it is produced under a different name. For 4 years of production, the car has not received any external changes. A model with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine started, and in 2013 versions with 2.0 and 2.4-liter units appeared.
Geely Emgrand X7
Norm fuel consumption per 100 km
To date, the model is available in 3 versions: with a 1.8-liter engine with a capacity of 126 hp, a 2.0-liter engine (139 hp) and the most powerful engine with a volume of 2.4 liters (148 hp). The average fuel consumption in the urban cycle is 11.4-14.7 liters, the highway - 7-8.7 liters, the combined cycle - 8.4-10.8 liters. Maximum speed - up to 170 km / h.
Real fuel consumption
- Peter, Moscow. Bought the car for my parents. They often go to the country, so they needed a roomy, but inexpensive option. I considered it better to buy Emgrand X7 from the salon than an already worn out solid foreign car. I myself often travel with them and with my family, so I also drive Geely. The car is normal, comfortable and functional. So far there have been no problems. Fuel consumption on the highway - 7 liters, the city is about 11. Assembly in 2013, 2.0 MT.
- Alexander, Voronezh. Geely Emgrand X7 2.0 MT 2012. Bought a car from a dealership. I've been driving for a year and a half, so I can safely give an assessment. Since I often drive, so the car is already starting to act up, the pads are knocking, a dull noise of the front shock absorbers has appeared. I haven't changed anything yet, and I don't intend to. Fuel consumption in the city is 10.8 liters, on the highway - 6-7 liters. I drive up to 300 km a day.
- Sergey, Novosibirsk. Long searched for a car, a crossover with all-wheel drive, but since my earnings did not allow me to acquire the desired Nissan Qashqai, in the end I bought a Geely Emgrand X7 2.4 automatic transmission in 2014. The car was pleasantly pleased with its comfort. Fuel consumption per 100 km averages 11 liters, in winter up to 13 liters. The car has everything that is necessary for me personally: air conditioning, radio.
- Andrey, Omsk. I recently bought Geely Emgrand X7 2.4 AT. The only conditions of choice were: a new car and a price of up to 800 thousand rubles, since with the current jump in currencies everything has become too expensive. So I bought a brand new Chinese in 2015. I'm still running in, fuel consumption in the city is about 15 liters. On the track - 9 liters. I haven’t changed anything yet, haven’t repaired anything, everything suits me, let’s see what happens in a year. The main downside is huge expense gasoline and the smell of glue in the cabin.
- Nikolay, Monchegorsk. Geely Emgrand X7 is my first car, a gift for 20 years. Prior to this ride on the parent machines. Well, I'll tell you a secret — the car is just awful. The two-liter engine does not match its power at all, acceleration is a nightmare, braking distances even worse. Fuel consumption is an average of 9 liters. Interior trim is cheap and poor quality. It's better to pay a little more and buy something better. Model 2013.
- Ivan, Nizhny Novgorod. I needed an inexpensive working car, and I had been eyeing Geely for a long time, naturally because of the price. Especially since there is a crisis in the country. I bought a Geely Emgrand X7 1.8 MT in 2011. As a result, I confess - there is no car, you just won’t find anything decent in this class for this money, and it’s not a pity to beat it. Fuel consumption is average for an SUV, the city is 10-11 liters, the highway is 6-7 liters.
- Oleg, Moscow. I work as a taxi driver, and therefore I have long wanted a more spacious car, since I had previously driven Priore. Of course, it does not make sense to buy an expensive car for transportation, so I immediately decided to take a brand new Chinese. So in 2012 I bought a Geely Emgrand 2.0 MT. A brand new car, everything is well thought out, a quiet interior, and I and the clients are comfortable. Fuel consumption in the city has never exceeded 13 liters, highway 7-8 liters.
- Viktor, Ryazan. Geely Emgrand X7 2014 2.4 AT. In Emgrand attracted me low price and decent equipment. In principle, the car is not bad, nothing has flown in a year, and there are no hints of this yet. Fuel consumption is quite adequate: city - 14 liters, average consumption - 11 liters. Given the size of the engine, this is a normal figure.
- Valery, Kazan. I took Emgrand X7 with a 2.0 MT engine in 2012, since I don’t need more for the city. The SUV is roomy and economical. Before that, there was a Niva, so the consumption is almost imperceptible - up to 10 liters are burned in the city. The cabin is comfortable and there are no smells of cheap material or glue, as I read in many reviews.
- Artem, Yekaterinburg. So I turned 18 years old and had to make a choice on which car I would drive. Since their money was naturally a little, I decided to buy a Chinese from the salon. So I got Geely Emgrand X7 1.8 MT (assembly 2012). Parents have RAV4, so it’s customary to drive an SUV. Fuel consumption is small, in the combined cycle, the output is in the region of 8-9 liters. The salon is interesting, the car looks nice too, as the first car it is an excellent unit.
Do you have any suspicions that yours “eats” too much gasoline? This article is an overview and will help you solve this problem. The first thing one usually does in such situations is to make a substitution air filter. Next, a long-term monitoring of the temperature of the coolant is carried out. In the case when it is below the middle, there can be no question of fuel economy.
Let's start with perhaps 1.8 liter engine. The votes were distributed as follows:
1) 30 people voted 7-8 liters per 100 km;
2) for 8-10 liters. — 63 owners of Emgrand;
3) 11-12 liters \ 100km - 41 people;
4) over 13 liters per hundred voted 17 people (most likely they need to contact the service station for inspection).
Concerning engine 1.5 l. Geely Emgrand the situation is more obvious:
1) the category of 7-8 liters per 100 km was chosen by 15 motorists;
2) 52 people voted for the option of 9-10 liters/100km;
3) 11-12 liters. 28 owners of the "miracle" of the Chinese were noted per hundred;
4) over 13 liters are consumed by only 4% of all voters.
Information was also found from Chinese colleagues who measured the fuel consumption of Geely Emgrand. Their results stopped at around 8.9 liters per 100 km for a 1.5 liter engine. In the case, then the fuel consumption should also change (most likely upwards).
How to avoid big expense fuel?
1) Car requires regular maintenance, because when it is out of order, it consumes 10% more and it doesn’t matter if it is gasoline or not.
2) Tire pressure. According to statistics, up to 70% of all motorists in Russia drive on wheels with low pressure. Reducing the pressure from 2.0 kg/cm2 to 1.5 kg/cm2 leads to a 3% increase in fuel consumption.
3) Proper wheel alignment - "alignment". This procedure must be carried out without fail and on time.
4) The fourth place is occupied by the transportation of excess cargo. Every 50 kg of excess weight increases consumption by an average of 2%.
5) A working air conditioner, as everyone knows, increases fuel consumption by about 10%.
6) Open windows and naturally driving style also affect fuel consumption.
Specifications which are pretty good for a Chinese SUV, is compact crossover, which is on Russian market appeared quite a long time ago. It was only some time ago that a restyled version of it was released. She got an improved design, new transmission and another power unit. In 2014, the premiere of this model took place. So, what can surprise her?
Appearance
Before discussing what Geely Emgrand x7 specifications are, we should talk about the design this car. engaged in a studio called Italdesign-Guigiaro. Italian specialists really made the design more modern and spectacular. Although no global changes in appearance were noticeable, some details that emphasize the sporty and even somewhat aggressive look of the car appeared.
Dimensions remained the same: length is 4541 mm, width - 1833 mm, height - 1700 mm. The wheelbase indicator reaches 2661 mm. Pleases and ground clearance- 171 mm, which is not so small for Russian roads. This is the first thing that distinguishes car-owned Geely Emgrand x7 specifications. Clearance is important, and everyone knows this, because specialists worked especially carefully on this moment.
Interior
What can you say about the salon? The interior has much more changes compared to the pre-styling version, but the experts decided to keep the style. The cabin can still comfortably accommodate five passengers. Comfortable chairs are installed inside, guaranteeing a comfortable fit. Particularly pleased with the high quality of fitting every single design element. No obvious cracks or other gaps are noticeable.
High quality and materials that were used in interior decoration. There is plenty of room and space for the front passenger and driver, and those in the back will complain. “Air reserve” is enough for everyone. The trunk of the car is designed for 580 liters, but if you fold the backs rear seats, the volume can be increased.
Geely Emgrand x7: specifications
For this car, this is perhaps one of the most pleasant moments, since less than 8.5 liters of fuel is spent per 100 kilometers traveled in the combined cycle. It is worth remembering that this is a crossover, so the indicator is really pleasing to the eye.
What about the rest of the Emgrand x7 data? Technical characteristics, in principle, are not bad. The car is offered to potential Russian buyers only with a two-liter engine. But even soon engines of 1.8 liters and 2.4 liters should become available.
It is worth talking more about these units. The 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine is distinguished by distributed fuel injection systems and variable valve timing. There is also a timing belt for 16 valves + chain drive. Power is 127 Horse power. The motor works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission, and maximum speed is 165 km/h.
More powerful versions
That's not all there is to say about Geely car Emgrand x7. Specifications for other motors that this machine also completed, more powerful than the unit described above. So, for example, a 2-liter engine can work both in tandem with a 5-speed “mechanics” and with a 6-speed “automatic”. The maximum speed is 170 km / h, and slightly exceeds the figure of the previous engine - only 8.8 liters per 100 km.
The flagship “novelty” in the form of a 2.4-liter engine develops a power of 148 hp. s., but the maximum speed remained at the level of 170 km / h. This engine is equipped exclusively with a 6-range “automatic”. And such a car spends about 11 liters per 100 km. These are the Geely Emgrand x7 specifications. Reviews, in principle, the owners leave mostly positive. Indeed, there is nothing to scold the car for - it drives confidently, steers well, consumes little fuel and, on the whole, meets all the requirements of an ordinary average motorist.
Versions
This car is offered to potential buyers in three different versions. These are Prestige, Luxury and Comfort. As basic equipment the car is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights(both rear and front), electrically adjustable heated side mirrors, air conditioning, on-board computer, 2 front airbags, audio system and heated seats.
Top-end equipment can please with rear and front parking sensors, climate control, leather interior, electrically adjustable driver's seat, metal sills and frameless brushes front wiper. In the past, in 2015, this car, as soon as it was published, cost at least 700 thousand rubles. And a model with a 2.4-liter engine, a gearbox and a “prestigious” package is 115 thousand more expensive. By the way, it has become more popular than the basic version.
True, if you buy this model from hands (that is, used), it will come out much cheaper. For example, the same maximum equipment with an “automatic” and a 2.4-liter engine, it will cost not 815, but 715 thousand. 100,000 rubles cheaper, and this is a considerable amount! Moreover, the car itself will be practically in a new condition - only with mileage, and plus one owner in the TCP. Many people buy a second hand car to save money. And, in principle, the decision is not bad. But it is up to each individual to decide for himself how to proceed.
The emergence of this strategic model was preceded by a three-year work of the Geely Research Center in cooperation with world famous companies, and the main components in Emgrand EC-7 are from famous brands such as Bosch, Valeo, Siemens, Fuji, Delphi, which are used by world famous automotive brands.
Under the hood of the car is a 1.8-liter Gas engine 127 hp, which is aggregated with a 5-speed mechanical box gear or automatic. The sedan will also please with relatively low fuel consumption for its class - only 7.5 l / 100 km in the combined cycle.
Due to the solid dimensions (namely: 4630 - length, 1780 - width, 1470 - height and 2650 - wheelbase), new model received very comfortable spacious salon and a fairly roomy luggage compartment (680 liters). In addition, the trunk has a low loading height, and the remote opening function simplifies the loading process.
Geely Emgrand EC7 will be offered in two trim levels - basic and comfortable. Already in the basic configuration, the car is equipped with power windows for all doors, power mirrors, central locking, air conditioning, power steering, ABS + EBD, heating rear window, fog lights, CD+MP3 player with audio system. TO comfortable configuration leather steering wheel, 6 airbags, power driver's seat, sunroof, and soft plastic and leather reign everywhere in the cabin.
The car has a high degree of safety - 4 stars of a solid European safety rating EuroNCAP, which is the highest rating in the history of participation Chinese cars in tests.
