The technical characteristics of which are quite good for a Chinese SUV is a compact crossover, which has appeared on the Russian market for a long time. Just some time ago, a restyled version of it was published. She found an improved design, a new transmission and a different power unit. In 2014, the premiere of this model took place. So, how can she surprise you?
Appearance
Before discussing what the Geely Emgrand x7 has technical characteristics, it is necessary to talk about the design of this car. was engaged in an atelier called Italdesign-Guigiaro. The Italian specialists really made the design more modern and effective. Although no global changes in appearance were noticeable, some details that emphasize the sporty and even somewhat aggressive look of the car appeared.
The dimensions remain the same: the length is 4541 mm, the width is 1833 mm, and the height is 1700 mm. The wheelbase reaches 2661 mm. The ground clearance is also pleasing - 171 mm, which is not so little for Russian roads. This is the first thing that distinguishes the technical characteristics of the Geely Emgrand x7. Clearance is important, and everyone knows this, because the specialists worked especially carefully on this moment.
Interior
What can you tell about the salon? There are noticeably much more changes in the interior compared to the pre-styling version, but the experts decided to keep the style. The cabin can still comfortably accommodate five passengers. Comfortable seats are installed inside, guaranteeing a comfortable fit. Particularly pleasing is the high quality of fit of every single design element. No obvious gaps or other gaps are noticeable.
The materials used in the interior decoration are also of high quality. The front passenger and driver have plenty of room and space, and those in the back will complain. There is enough "air reserve" for everyone. The trunk of the car is designed for 580 liters, but if you fold the backs of the rear seats, then 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 are consumed 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? The technical characteristics are, in principle, not bad. The car is offered to potential Russian buyers only with a two-liter engine. But soon 1.8-liter and 2.4-liter engines should become available.
It is worth talking in more detail about these units. The 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine features multipoint fuel injection and variable valve timing. There is also a timing belt for 16 valves + chain drive. The power is 127 horsepower. The engine works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the maximum speed is 165 km / h.
More powerful versions
This is not all that can be said about the Geely Emgrand x7 car. The technical characteristics of other motors with which this machine is also equipped are more powerful than those of 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 top speed is 170 km / h, and not much higher than 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 liters. sec., but the maximum speed remained at 170 km / h. This engine is equipped exclusively with a 6-band “automatic”. And such a car spends about 11 liters per 100 km. These are the technical characteristics of the Geely Emgrand x7. Reviews, in principle, the owners leave mostly positive. Indeed, there is really nothing to scold the car for - it drives confidently, drives well, consumes a little fuel and, in general, meets all the requirements of an ordinary average motorist.
Execution options
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, an on-board computer, 2 front airbags, an 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 sill plates and frameless front wiper blades. In the past, in 2015, this car, as soon as it was published, cost at least 700 thousand rubles. And the model with a 2.4-liter engine, gearbox and "prestigious" equipment is 115 thousand more expensive. By the way, it has become more popular than the basic version.
True, if you buy this model from hand (that is, used), it will come out much cheaper. For example, the same maximum configuration with an “automatic” and a 2.4-liter engine 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 state - only with mileage, and plus one owner in the TCP. Many people buy a car hand-held to save money. And, in principle, the solution is not bad. But it is up to everyone to determine for himself exactly how to act.
Geely Emgrand X7 is a five-seat crossover from the Chinese automaker Geely. The car debuted in 2011 in Guangzhou city. 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. The model started with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine, and in 2013 versions with 2.0 and 2.4-liter units appeared.

Real fuel consumption
- Peter, Moscow. I bought a car for my parents. They often go to the dacha, so they needed a roomy, but inexpensive option. I thought it would be better to buy an 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. Build 2013, 2.0 MT.
- Alexander, Voronezh. Geely Emgrand X7 2.0 MT 2012. I bought a car from a dealer. I've been driving for a year and a half, so I can safely assess it. Since it is often behind the wheel, so the car is already starting to junk, the pads are knocking, a dull noise of the front shock absorbers has appeared. I haven't changed anything yet, and I'm not going 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. I was looking for a car, a crossover with four-wheel drive for a long time, but since my earnings did not allow me to buy the desired Nissan Qashqai, I ended up buying a Geely Emgrand X7 2.4 automatic transmission of 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: an air conditioner, a radio tape recorder.
- Andrey, Omsk. I recently bought Geely Emgrand X7 2.4 AT. The only conditions for the 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 new Chinese in 2015. While still running in, fuel consumption in the city is about 15 liters. On the highway - 9 liters. I haven’t changed anything yet, I haven’t repaired anything, everything is fine, let's see what happens in a year. The main disadvantage is the huge consumption of gasoline and the smell of glue in the cabin.
- Nikolay, Monchegorsk. Geely Emgrand X7 is my first car, a gift for 20 years. Before that I rode my parents' cars. 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, the braking distance is even worse. Average fuel consumption is 9 liters. The interior trim is cheap and of poor quality. Better to overpay a little and buy something better. 2013 model.
- Ivan, Nizhny Novgorod. He needed an inexpensive working car, and he had been eyeing Geely for a long time, naturally because of the price. Moreover, there is a crisis in the country. Here I bought a Geely Emgrand X7 1.8 MT 2011. As a result, I admit that there is no car, you just can't find anything decent in this class for this money, and it's not a pity to beat. Average fuel consumption for an SUV, city - 10-11 liters, highway - 6-7 liters.
- Oleg, Moscow. I work as a taxi driver and therefore have long wanted a more roomy car, as I had driven a Priore before. Of course, it makes no sense to buy an expensive car for transportation, so I immediately decided to take a brand new Chinese. That's how I bought a Geely Emgrand 2.0 MT in 2012. A brand new car, everything is well thought out, a quiet interior, and both me and the clients feel comfortable. Fuel consumption in the city never exceeded 13 liters, highway 7-8 liters.
- Victor, Ryazan. Geely Emgrand X7 2014 2.4 AT. In Emgrand I was attracted by the 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 normal.
- Valery, Kazan. I took an Emgrand X7 with a 2.0 MT engine in 2012, since I don't need it anymore 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 and had to make a choice about which car I would drive. Since there was not much of my own money, I decided to buy a Chinese from the salon. This is how I got my Geely Emgrand X7 1.8 MT (assembly of 2012). The parents have a RAV4, so it's customary to drive an SUV. Fuel consumption is low, 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 - an excellent unit.
The emergence of this strategic model was preceded by a three-year work of the Geely research center in collaboration with world famous companies, and the main components in the Emgrand EC-7 are from renowned brands such as Bosch, Valeo, Siemens, Fuji, Delphi, which are used by world famous automotive brands.
Under the hood of the car there is a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 127 hp, which is aggregated with a 5-speed manual transmission or "automatic". The sedan will also be pleased with its relatively low fuel consumption for its class - only 7.5 l / 100 km in the combined cycle.
Thanks to its solid dimensions (namely: 4630 - length, 1780 - width, 1470 - height and 2650 - wheelbase), the new model received a comfortable, very spacious interior and a fairly spacious luggage compartment (680 liters). In addition, the boot 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, heated rear window, fog lights, CD + MP3 player with audio system. A leather steering wheel, 6 airbags, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, a sunroof, and soft plastic and leather reign in the cabin everywhere.
The car has a high degree of safety - 4 stars of the solid European safety rating EuroNCAP, which is the highest mark in the history of the participation of Chinese cars in the tests.
Do you have any suspicions that yours is eating too much gasoline? This article is an overview and will help you solve this problem. The first thing that is usually done in such situations is the replacement of the air filter. Further, 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 talk of fuel economy.
Let's start with 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 an inspection).
Concerning engine 1.5 liters. at Geely Emgrand the situation is more obvious:
1) 15 motorists chose the category of 7-8 liters per 100 km;
2) 52 people voted for the option of 9-10 liters / 100 km;
3) 11-12 liters. per hundred, 28 owners of the "miracle" of the Chinese were noted;
4) more than 13 liters are spent by only 4% of all voters.
Also, information was 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 case, then the fuel consumption should change (most likely upwards).
How to avoid high fuel consumption?
1) The car requires regular maintenance, because when it is out of order, it consumes 10% more and it does not matter whether it is gasoline.
2) The pressure in the wheels. According to statistics, up to 70% of all motorists in Russia drive on wheels with low pressure. A decrease in pressure from 2.0 kg / cm2 to 1.5 kg / cm2 leads to a 3% increase in fuel consumption.
3) Correct wheel alignment - "camber-toe". This procedure must be carried out without fail and on time.
4) The fourth place is taken 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.
The Chinese car market is rapidly gaining momentum and increasing its advantage on the global stage. Geely is one of the most influential automotive companies in China. Thanks to the hard work of Geely engineers, they managed to partly destroy the very negative perception of Chinese products that had prevailed among buyers for a long time. So, the comfortable and stylish urban crossover Emgrand x7 was developed back in 2011, which was to compete with Japanese cars in the market.
A year later, Emgrand X7, due to its high-quality assembly and successful design, gained popularity not only in Asia, but also in the vastness of Europe. Many automotive experts attribute the unprecedented success of Geely Emgrand x7 due to the similarity with and the highest possible safety ratings. According to the CNCAP test, the crossover received the highest rating, which automatically elevated the model to the rank of the most reliable and safe Chinese cars. It remains only to find out how much fuel consumption per 100 km is?
Official fuel consumption rate
In 2012, there were only two power units in the Geely Emgrand x7 line of power units - with a displacement of 2 and 2.4 liters. There was no fundamental difference between the two engines. The only difference was that the two-liter engine was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, while its more voluminous counterpart supported the joint work with an automatic six-speed gearbox.
After the restyling of the model carried out by Geely in 2016, a new 1.8-liter power unit was added to the line of engines. The atmospheric engine is distinguished by a power equal to 125 horsepower with a torque of 165 Nm. As for the transmission, the manufacturer decided to leave everything unchanged, equipping the restyled version with mechanics. The following standards of fuel consumption of a car per 100 km of track in the urban / suburban cycle were also certified:
- Engine 1.8 paired with mechanics - 10.5 / 8 l;
- Motor 2.0 paired with mechanics - 11 / 8.5 l;
- 2.4 engine paired with an automatic machine - 11.5 / 9 liters.
On the territory of the post-Soviet space, the car is available in two trim levels - basic and complete packages. Top-end equipment includes climate control, electric heated seats and many other options.
Geely Emgrand x7 consumption according to car owners reviews
All three motors comply with Euro 5 standards. The maximum speed of the car reaches 190 km / h. In most cases, the owners of the crossover speak positively about this car, but there are also some complaints related to the small "gluttony" of the car. What is the real gas mileage for the Geely Emgrand x7?
Gasoline engine with a volume of 1.8 liters
- Maxim, Volgograd. It just so happened that the first car in my life was a representative of the Chinese market. Initially, I was very disappointed, but after several thousand kilometers traveled I realized that all the excitement was in vain. I drive a Geely Emgrand x7 1.8 MT assembled at the Belji car plant in 2016. The car pleases with its comfort and a really high level of assembly. As for fuel consumption, there are no special complaints here - 10 liters in the city and 8 liters along the highway.
- Vasily, Moscow. A year ago, I urgently needed a normal car for a small price. I did not find adequate offers on the secondary market, I had to take a "Chinese". Geely Emgrand x7 2016 made me happy. When the need for a car passed, I did not want to part with it. As for a crossover with the makings of an SUV, it is quite normal "appetite" - 10.5 liters in the city in summer and up to 11 liters in winter.
- Evgeny, Saratov. I can't say that I am delighted with this car, but for the price it is a good enough product. I drive mainly on the highway, where the consumption is about 8 liters at an average speed of 120 km / h. In Saratov, in the warm season, up to 11 liters are fired.
- Andrey, Cheboksary. Moved to a crossover from the domestic Niva SUV. The difference is tangible, after all, Emgrand is a modern and comfortable car. There are some bugs in the cabin, but I don't think they should be given the proper attention. For its price - a good car. In the city, it consumes 10 liters per 100 kilometers.
The 1.8-liter power unit delivers consistent fuel consumption. Car owners note that a crossover with this engine under the hood consumes exactly as much as the manufacturer assured.
Modification with motor 2.0
- Matvey, St. Petersburg. I took the car in 2012 for my parents living in the Moscow region. Their country road there is not of the best quality, so cars with low ground clearance had to be repaired often. With Geely Emgrand x7, many problems are gone. Nice car, there were no significant breakdowns yet. It copes with its task on the road of any condition. Consumption depends on driving style and operating conditions. On average 11.5-12 liters per 100 km.
- Alexander, Rostov. Behind the wheel of the Geely Emgrand x7 since 2014. The car will soon be four years old and, of course, the first malfunctions are now appearing: pads knock, shock absorbers make noise, and the like. At work, I have to wind hundreds of kilometers every day. The on-board computer shows an average of 12 liters in Rostov, most often I travel around the city.
- Anatoly, Yekaterinburg. I've been driving a Geely Emgrand x7 engine 2.0 since 2014. I can say with confidence - this car is reliable and unpretentious. Do not be afraid of Chinese products, they are now assembling really cool cars. In two years I wound 100 thousand km on it, calculated that the real consumption of Emgrand x7 is 11 liters, as the manufacturer assured.
- Albert, Kursk. The car is comfortable, but not fast. The engine pulls normally, but power is sometimes not enough on the highway. The consumption outside the city is about 9-10 liters, it all depends on the quality of the track. The city is stable at 11 liters in summer and up to 12 liters in winter. There were no serious breakdowns, but even if there are, parts and components for the "Chinese" are relatively inexpensive.
This power unit is not very powerful, but it boasts an adequate level of fuel consumption. Most owners of the modification with a 2-liter engine under the hood speak well of the car and note the compliance of the certified and actual consumption.
Assembly with 2.4 engine
- Sergey, Moscow. Emgrand x7 with a 2.4-liter engine cost me almost a million. Comfortable and high-quality interior, plenty of free space and a spacious luggage compartment. Of course, you won't find leather here, everything is made of a simple but durable material. It is quiet inside the car, extraneous noise is practically inaudible. Everything would be fine, but the "appetite" of the car does not make me happy - 14 liters in Moscow, and if you get stuck in a traffic jam, then all 15 liters.
- Leonid, Tyumen. I was looking for a car with four-wheel drive, I dreamed about it, but I did not manage to accumulate the necessary amount. A friend advised me to take the Geely Emgrand x7 for a reasonable price. In the end, I can say that I liked the car, it has everything I need. Consumption is sometimes higher than normal - 12.5 liters in the city and 9 liters on the highway, but this happens in rare cases.
- Stanislav, Sochi. I have heard a lot about Chinese cars, about the fact that today "celestial" is reaching a new level. When I saw the price of Emgrand x7, at first I thought it was a "tempting". But he made up his mind and bought it. I can't say it's a great car, but not a bad one either. If finances are back to back, and you want something comfortable, modern - go to the dealership. If you have a substantial amount on hand, then, of course, it is better to take the "Japanese". Consumption - 13/10 liters per 100 km.
- Konstantin, Krasnodar. Although they say that the "Chinese" are reaching a new level, they are still far from Japanese cars. On Emgrand x7, the engine seems to be quite good, but you cannot get out of the snowdrifts. In severe frost with an open hood, hoses to the washer may crack. There are too many such little things. As for the chassis and engine, the rear levers had to be replaced two years later. There were no problems with the engine. It consumes 12-13 liters, which is significantly higher than the norm.
In some cases, an overconsumption of fuel was noticed behind this power unit. A car with a 2.4-liter engine can surpass the mark certified by the manufacturer by as much as 1-2 liters.
