2022 Geely Emgrand Review | Behind the Wheel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Geely's grand answer to the age old question: "can anyone top the Toyota Vios?" With this car, it's not outside of the realm of possibility. This is the 2022 Geely Emgrand for the Philippine market, and just like the Coolray, it's affordably priced, loaded with features, and refined in all senses of the word. What Geely has here is a real contender in the subcompact sedan segment, and it is here today on this Behind the Wheel review.

Test drove this earlier and I'm very impressed. I love how soft the suspension is. Feels almost seamless on bumpy roads. But, the one that I like the best is the cabin. It so comfortable and you can just lay your right hand on the center. And yes, that space there looks like it was for wireless charging, but the feature was removed probably for cost cutting. There's a wireless charging logo there. You can also feel the difference between the Comfort and Sport mode. Everything just feels so refined, so much better especially when we got back to our Vios. This car is a way much better choice than even the top of the line Vios or City. Even the Comfort trim, the one without the digital gauges, sunroof, and other tech features is good because of the cabin and ride comfort.
Specs good by the parts? Too costly
@@marchawkinsdimacali8041 Yes, that is one factor that might be a deal-breaker for some. Cars like this are much suited for people who change their cars every 5 or 6 years to avoid the heavier maintenance of aging cars. But, for me personally, if given the chance to turn back time, I would rather buy this than our Vios. Because based on experience, parts don't break easily or early even on cheap cars like our previous Hyundai Eon, unless you got into a major accident or it's a factory defect. Hopefully, Geely can get the parts availability sorted out especially now that they have more than 20 dealerships now and a best-selling brand.
It has volvo, lotus and proton dna that contributes to its great handling.
@@XGlite015 true. Haha. Para lang to sa mga taong gusto ng 2nd or 3rd car. Pero kung ikaw yung iisa lang sasakyan at sakto lang pera, eh dun kana sa taxi este vios. Yung pera na kahit once a year lang ang budget.
Kudos sa honest review. I’ve seen the reviews of sojoocars and kyle long para kasi may pinagtatakpan sila and bawal magsabi ng negative. Same ni zigwheels sa honest reviews pero siyempre auto deal is the best pgdating sa car reviews. Thanks
True, Soojoo and PhilKotse.
@@jayemgee7786 actually hindi sila sponsored. Feeling ko kasi dahil maliit na car reviewer lang sila and parang pabor na sinusuklian nila ng magandang review pag pinahiram sila esp dito sa emgrand silang dalawa nauna magreview neto.
@@jayemgee7786 Nasaan banda bayad sa amin :((
@@junardmonterey9496 I genuinely like the Emgrand though. It's in my top picks right now
@@KyleLiongCars same here lods. Maganda siya and value for money. Ang ganda nga din ng review nyo sa page mo and sa auto mart. Mejo hesitant lang talaga kayo magsabi ng cons sa mga nirereview nyo which nadinig ko kay caco today. Pero yung delivery mo and yung knowledge mo sa mga cars bilib ako dun lods. And yun nga hindi ko naman na feel na bayad nga kayo dun hehe
Finally an objective review. Other reviewers were talking about this like it was a luxury car. Saw some people in Geely groups too also say this was the equivalent of an Accord/Camry.
Caco's review shows that this can be all around at par or better than a Vios. But an executive sedan? Not even in the same world.
Drove a Camry for a few years, and it’s newer versions for a few weeks. I still think ride wise, it’s really Camry level (XV50)
@@KyleLiongCars Drove/rode the xv40, xv50, and the new one. The xv50 is stiffer but 100% a more fun drive especially on highways and mountain roads.
Still considering an emgrand since it's a steal any way you look at it. Will check your review out too since I can't seem to find some functions (e.g. how to recline the back seats) on caco's review. Cheers!
@@rob8024 rear seats don’t recline on the Emgrand, sadly
I drive a d segment sedan. And i can say this is yhe closest to being a camry in its class. This indeed is an affordable luxury car. I feel like every car is a luxury for us Filipinos. Dba. Even those who drive the bulok ones. Specially with today’s constant gas price hikes.
Interesting about Geely: ua-cam.com/video/llMHu7lft34/v-deo.html
Geely really knows how to design great interiors
and exteriors, they look hella good
Chinese like euro designs
The key is in copying Audi.
@@milopichu low budget a4 knock-off...
Because they bought volvo
To be honest , i think you are one of the best car reviewer out there !! Big fan from Singapore.
Not exaggerated and unbiased review, all the good and bad equally shown and given proper attention. How I wish other reviewers would follow suit, a job well done for AD esp to sir Caco who's far from afraid to criticize vehicles without being too harsh.
A great vehicle nonetheless but not exactly something worthy of being called as a segment leader indeed.
Caco is corny but gives great reviews and that’s all we need. The fact that the niceties included in this well-packaged car is testament to Geely’s commitment to its clientele. Can never compare this with a vios. The quality is just exceptional. Not to mention the fact that it has better warranty of 5 years.
Caco isn't corny. Corny is Stanley Chi.
@@BrandoBanditup for this
humor is subjective, you just don't call people corny simply because you don't get them.
Caco's not corny. I get his jokes that has a taste of western culture something like that 😊
How does it fall short of the vios? I owned a vios and I test drove the geely emgrand lately. Emgrand was a way more comfortable ride.
How long will it last though
@@slee2695 geely is known as one of the most durable cars in China. And is owned by volvo another company known for the durability of its cars.
@@fox9769 im not sold on chinese cars yet sorry..and lack of parts is another issue
@@slee2695 maybe for parts but that largely depends on the local distributor. As for durability China is a large country and their cars and known for being durable due to their high usage. In China Geely can easily go 200,000 to 300,000 milage.
@@fox9769 ok bro i'll take your word for it...im gonna stick to my Japanese or Korean brands
Been waiting for this, watched a lot of reviews of this car but I still look forward to Autodeal 😘
While I hope this will be available in Malaysia soon through Proton, I do wish they would include a version with the 1.5t engine. The low spec starts at MYR 65k (direct conversion with PHP but it's always very close if you use the coolray as a benchmark).
Our traffic jams are not as bad as Manila and getting on a highway at speeds of above 100km/h is still a regular occurrence for many drivers here. The extra torque from the turbo would certainly help on higher speed fuel consumption.
If that can be achieved with the car being priced at the low to mid 70k MYR level it would certainly be a good alternative to the Vios/city/Almera.
I think will start at rm70k to rm89k
Hoping to hear more about this one coming into Malaysia too.
For now, though, I'm looking forward to buying X90 (Haoyue/ Okavango) next year! 😄
This car lagi mura in Malaysia?
it would probably cost a bit more after Proton localized it to Malaysia's needs.
Proton used 1.5 turbocharged to all variant with DCT gearbox and basicly the price will going up.
Been waiting for this review! Please make a comparo with MG5. Thank you!
That last statement I think is very true and sums it all up. The Emgrand will be unbeatable because of Price Value. Punching above its weight just like the other Geely cars. I think it will really shake the sub-compact market specially if they will bring the base MT variant and the Sport Emgrand L variant. I will not be surprise if one day this and the MG5 will lead the sales charts.
Phenomenal review. Unlike others that seem to be carried away by the hype of this car like. Autodeal shows everything at an unbiased perspective. Shows a lot of flaws.
That humming sound from the EPS will definitely haunt you in the long run. EPS is so expensive to fix.
We got another Philippine Technician expert. thanks captain! Could it be that yo engineered some automobile before?
@@harbilito4910 first, it’s you*. Secondly, I know cars and I’m an Engineer. I had problems with EPS with my own car. I understand the mechanics of it. It doesn’t take an expert to know the basics of things.
The dumbest and the most stupid assumption of all is that only an expert will know certain things, and not being an expert will invalidate your knowledge. Your comment speaks a lot about your mental capacity, blind following and failure to conduct proper course of conversation among many other things.
Galing diagnosed agad... expert. Huwaw
Nice review, Caco. Dapat ganito lahat ng reviews, eh. Para sa tao, hindi sa mga brand.
I love Sedans growing up, but then my dad went and bought me a hatchback and I fell in love with the car size and design of most brands be it local or international. Most sedans are elegant now compared to back when I first fell for a hatchback and I’m starting to look for one too. I don’t know… maybe it’s due to my age or just a change of taste.
Saw some comment at FB who bought one ..got the unit last March 7. Next day have problem. Unit replaced by dealer by March 9. Drove a couple of hundred kilometers and now have noise and vibration. So Geely got the unit and under observation. Not even given a service unit. Looks like some unit have issue already.
Been waiting for this review. Great job, Autodeal!
The two tone interior looks amazing! I love the color blue 💙
This car is really good looking and I admit, it looks more elegant than my MG5(Though MG5 looks luxurious too). But the 102HP for a 1.5L engine and no apple carplay/android auto feature really what made me choose my MG5. They just have the same fuel consumption, but the power looks lacking.
I thought the humming sound is coming from the green truck trying to merge lol.
There's a part of me that keeps loving Geely from coolray to this. I'm a fan of Japanese brands but I would say this Emgrand is really nice and should consider when there are lots of badges in the same segment.
Man that shade of blue is to die for.
If you put a BMW M3 interior next to the Emgrand interior side-by-side but cover both car logo of the steering wheel, most people would could not tell which car is more expensive than the other. Even thou the Emgrand is slightly lower spec than its counterpart (Proton S70), its still a good looking car and luxurious feel inside and outside.
The front clip of the Emgrand actually resembles the look of Volvo's Polestar which brings class to its design!
Because Geely bought Volvo
@@wawi_08 Nice one, just looked it up. Thanks!
We thought it was the other way around volvo didn't made it
The noise you hear is coming from the CVT, you can hear it more when you're driving up to 30kph, its quite annoying but you'll get use to it and just drown the sound with music lol
Does everything cvt have it?
@@leoncionardo1281 yup
sir caco you can open the trunk without pressing anything..it opens on its own once your near the trunk.
Your reviews are so alive, awesome!
I have a feeling they excluded wireless charging on that wide center space and front fog lamps to cut cost. Would've been nice if they were included, they dont seem that expensive.
I also dig that interior colours, its nice to look at 🤗
I'm getting a Linus from Linus Tech Tips vibe from Caco. Nice review.
I'm really torn between this and the Toyota Raize. Whichever I get will be my very first band new (and only) car. Due to work, I just I can't afford to lose a car for too long in case there will be a problem with the Geely's parts availability. I really want this one but the availability of this car's parts is what's holding me back... 😑
Same thought. Hahaha
Comparo na to. Emgrand vs City vs Vios vs Almera vs Mazda 2 vs Accent vs Mirage vs Ciaz.
Time will tell how there products are made and the build quality. Not so sure about the second hand market if these products will hold value.
Been waiting for this! And I really love the honest review. Thank you!
Definitely stunning, but reliability? Not sure. It’s your hard earned money that we’re talking about. Do not ever compromise just by the looks.
Geely Emegrand or MG 5 ? please which one do you guys recommend ?
Changan Alvsin vs Geely Emgrand vs MG 5 review???
I am seeing the Polestar design language in this car. Some ambient lighting in the same color as the car peeking through the grill, will be the awesome
Cars without fog lamps looks best and clean as for my opinion, but I know fog lamps are there for a reason for safety and visibility but these car especially mazda's cars they look supah clean without them.
Sir Caco, please do a comparo on the Vios and the City so we’ll better understand why the Emgrand “falls shy” compared to the two. Thanks
Caco doing mazespin dirty like that HAHAHAAH I honestly gasped and couldn't believe you did.
Great review as usual. Great work Autodeal and of course to you Caco !!!! You brought up the pros & cons superbly 👋👋👋 Always the #1 🥇🥇🥇
Good review I just wished that you can add closeup b-rolls to show what you're touching ie info cluster display and start button
That color looks gorgeous 😍
I'm really curious about the noise Caco details here. It might not bother drivers at first but it will buildup once you notice it enough, especially for drivers who hate random noises in their car. Still looks like a solid sedan at the price point but, I wish those sounds can be explained by Geely.
Its the CVT, you can hear it more when you're driving up to 30kph, its quite annoying but youl get use to it and just drown the sound with music lol
Butyl tape against the firewall and under the carpet could do the trick, lmao.
At this point, I'm very puzzled on why Autodeal still hasn't reached a million subs. Many people sleep on this channel.
Great review! Again well delivered and no biased judgement. Would also like to know the song title 😅
Love it sir Caco, the most anticipated review from you! It really feels different compare to other car review. It felt really guinea and clear. Well i hope this car will come to Malaysia one day through Proton. Thank you.
While at this topic, do Geely in Philippines have issue with car spare parts?
Yes Spare parts is still one of the major problems for Geely here in the PH - if it is a major spare parts the usual based on FB Group Pages it is around 3-4 months and even some are 6months to a year - it is basically an open secret here in PH that if youre buying Geely Spare Parts is one of the major issue
@@quannar What about Hyundai and Nissan?
Di sini Philippines so far, tada masalah yang parts
Yung tunog sa steering wheel naexperience ko din yan sa Coolray ko. May hinihigpitan sila under the steering wheel column. Hindi sya naddrown sa sounds dahil may "ganit" feeling sya when turning. So in short super nakakairita. Anyway after higpitan ng something, nawala yung sounds. After few weeks bumalik ulit.
This car looks like a Volvo S60 I bet it's built on the same platform as Gelly owns Volvo. That grill has the same resembles of the Volvo's front design.
Great review Sir! Can you do a review for the new changan CS35 plus? ☺️
Their own website says the ground clearance is 151 mm. Which is true?
Makes you imagine if they made it with a higher price tag.
With the modding community for Geely being really active, this will get AA and Carplay for sure in the coming months.
The question is, why do we need to mod that (and possibly, void the warranty for the infotainment system) just for us to have Android Auto and Apple Carplay
@@Jan-xf8sk Manufacturers need to be certified for Carplay, which is probably a tedious (and very expensive) process.
gd pm sir pwede order Auto sir
Gotta love the way you present this reviews sir =) and the information that most would need. Kudos to you and your team!
The ground clearance is 152! Measure it yourselffff please clarify. Most of the reviewers says its 152mm and not 122mm
Caco, in 19:13, you mentioned that it falls short of the market leaders like Vios? In what way? Was it the drive? I'm sure the tech can match or surpass the market leaders. Neither do I think it is the plushness of the seats. I don't know which Variant of Vios should I compare it with, though. I've seen the Vios GR-S and I don't think the tech and the plushness compares with the Emgrand.
haha agree on this like the top variant of Vios is screaming plastic to me 🤣
Most mainstream car reviewer are bias towards the big guys (Toyota, Honda, Nissan etc.) but still Cacao (Autodeal) is more tolerable compare to others
Reliabiliity probably??? But that statement got me puzzled as well. I’m not a professional but I drove both cars. In almost every aspect aside from the known reliability of the Vios, Emgrand is the winner for me.
He said it because it’s an honest review not like other reviewers who talks like these Chinese brands are paying them and don’t have the balls to state the reality due to the fear of bashing from die hard Chinese cars supporters.
And c’mon we all know this car is not on the level of Toyota and Honda on important aspects that no “premium features or technology” can change.
If you still don’t get it, it’s probably because you or someone you know have a Chinese car and is unable to find peace and is bothered by the comments regarding Chinese vs Japanes cars, because deep down, you know it’s true.
No hate though, peace. 😉
Can you please tell me what was that noise that Caco noticed inside the car? Is it bad noise or just a normal noise? Please enlighten me. Thanks
mechanical on the move. not bothered since 1.6yrs driving it. im wondering how horrible on Toyota cvt and other car brand.
Hi, could you tell more why you think this fall short compared to a Vios? Thanks!
Emgrand interior reminds of 2021 Alphatauri livery. Best livery.
I can't unsee that now.
Thanks for this review autodeal. The best talaga kayo. Kudos. 💯
Caco is the gem of auto deal. Give this guy another salary increase! Woho
One of the best car reviews I've seen.
Which is better? MG5 or Emgrand?
When Caco loves something, that is really a good sign...
Thank you for this review, Sir Caco and Autodeal 😊👍
Really Enjoy every review fr your channel. Looking FWD to have this unit in Malaysia soon as Proton latest sedan
Sana ganyan ang design ng mga normal cars dito sa pinas. Napaka simple yet classy. Ang current design ng Vios mas pumanget. In my opinion.
pag mejo bumaba sales ng vios dahil sa mga gantong klaseng sedan. baka maisipan na nilang iimprove design nila ska interior.
Same thought! I'm planning on getting a brand new car. Ok sana ang Vios, pero for real, ang panget ng design ngayon compared sa last look kaya I took it out of my options.
Hello guys i'm using honda city 2019 planning to upgrade to this worth it kaya? I don't know about cars po kasi.
Cs35 plus please
Congrats Geely! 🔥
i will choose this anyday rather than Vios or City
Resale value? Long term reliability?
@@slee2695 i dont care about resale value, the looks, the luxurious design and the tech is worth for keeps😁
@@jojanmercado4260make sure you take a lot of pictures of Emgrand so you can appreciate the “looks” during the months that it will be sitting inside the Casa while on repair.
I would too! No matter what they say it's a love at first sight for me 💗
@@jojanmercado4260same, who poor just look on resale value
I just commented on the mazda2 review the other day and here it is 😆 Nice review as always sir caco💪
That is one beautiful car. I want it but the stigma of chinese-produced cars makes me skeptical. I'll probably wait 5 more years for user reviews before buying from Geely.
Has that jaguar forward pointed hood with a back sloping fascia. Looks pretty high end. A more concave wheel will probably make it look ten times better. Not bad geely.
Nice review. Best review of the emgrand
Can somebody explain why Caco said it falls short of a Vios? Anybody here that has driven both? Thanks.
C’mon man, you know the answer to that question lol
Hello, just asking bat wala kayong review ng Hyundai Accent 1.4 or 1.6D.
Medyo hesitant bumili ng car kc tumaas ang price ng gasoline and diesel.
Any advice or tips caco?
Tnx
Love to see an emgrand with a coolray engine!
happily driving my emgrand premium for 9 months hehe 1 thing lang ang ayaw ko, walang android auto pero nasanay na rin sa mirroring pero annoying minsan haha isa itong video pinanood ko before ako kumuha
since I didn't have a chance to use android auto and CarPlay. i got used to it right away. But I don't bother me on mirroring too much i put all effort enjoying the moment driving it.
I would like to setup time & date for emgrand 2023 .. I really find a difficulty in adjust time
I like the classic 3 box european design thats simple no noise in it.. like we see in other japanese sedans..
It's really amazing how the front of the car resembles a lot the front of a Volvo. The swedish imprinting is definitely there!
Because Geely bought Volvo a few years ago
Sana next year may Geely Baguio City Branch n din.
Tarlac ata nearest na. My branch where we got this catering also far locations. Just inquire
YES!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REVIEW THIS FUTURE BABY GIRL OF MINE HAHAHAHA PLANNING TO BUY THIS CAR BUT I NEED APPROVAL FROM YOU!♥️♥️
I like how Caco reviews this mentioning pros and cons. Unlike other reviewers who sees Geelys like they are perfect vehicles. Tho, they are great vehicles for sure! But no car is perfect. I am in the hunt for my very first car and seeing exaggerated reviews of Geely makes me feel off instead of wanting it.
Hi is it comfortable to drive in woman w/ the height of 5.1” ?
the most awaited car review from my fav. car reviewer 😎❤
Does it have adaptive cruise control? or I'm just dreaming?
Emgrand vs. MG5 comparo please!
Interior looks S-class worthy
Caco is like Linus Sebastian of UA-cam Tech Industry
It actually looks great! I'm not a fan of the two tone interior though but in this case, it fits the car really well.
I think they are targetting a few demographics, younger ones who want an elegant looking sedan (color combos) and more mature ones who want the same thing.
I wonder what's causing the lack of android auto/carplay though. And that EPS/steering wheel "hum" can be disconcerting. Let's hope it's a not a "batch" problem where they need to recall several units to fix it. Great job in catching it!
Nonetheless, looks like a great value overall!
立即投诉,让吉利马上把汽车质量提高,然后从马来西亚再出口到中国销售😂
Durability for this car is not bad
Can you make a comparo between Emgrand and MG5
The annoying sound heard is from the Brushless motor that provides steering assist. ita the winning of motor.
Definitely the Best Subcompact sedan in the market today. This Emgrand Automatic Variant will Storm the market soon.
If you’ve watched caco’s review, it is not.
Uhm no
Hope you can make a review on Geely GX3 Pro...if you haven't already! ❤
Great Review good
Video quality good
Audio mehhh!
Please fix audio mixing.
Music is too loud.
I am Chinese, China's mobile phones and cars are very reliable. The Chinese study hard and industrialize rapidly. China is very reliable now! For 5000 years, China has been the strongest country in Asia.. GDP will become the first in the world within five years... You deserve the car, guys
