The appearance of an EMGRAND unknown brand with a completely arranged for a serial release of the D-class sedan once again confirms that the Chinese car industry did not invent anything, but went along the path of the Korean Korean, and in front of them and Japanese automakers. The full name of this car Geely Emgrand EC7.
However, in order to remove cheap cars from the subway, produced under the brand Geely, the first half of the name is missing, because officially Emgrand is a new quite independent brand. Actually the story of the appearance of a new brand is identical to the Lexus-Toyota or Nissan-Infinity relationship.
Externally, Emgrand EC7 compared to the fellow "Geely Group" looks uniquely solid and more expensive. Trying to make it the most capacious in its class, Chinese specialists did not praise with sizes.
The front of the car, although reminds modern Asian cars of famous brands, still original. On a large falseradiator chrome lattice, the emblem of the new Emgrand brand is located in the form of a heraldic shield. The location of the head optics and climbing on the hood reports a wedge-shaped front of some aggressiveness. Although in general the appearance of the car rather reservedly conservative than sports.
However, the originality of the exterior of Gili Emgrand EC7 ends, as soon as the car turns sideways, and even more so feed. With the naked eye markedly copying the appearance of the modern Mercedes S-Class. The same profile with torn back racks, turning into a short inclined trunk. The same form of the rear LED optics. However, for the imitation was chosen more than a decent representative of the world car industry. The main thing is that Chinese experts were able to create an exterior of a classic sedan with smooth gaps and proper geometry, high-quality painting and minimum chrome plated tinsel.
Under the European Elegant and Restrained Appearance and the Interior of the Emgrand EC7 car from Gili.
Two-color plastic finish. Let not be soft, but pleasant to the touch, and the tissue upholstery of the cabin can be replaced with a leather. The junctions are neat, and the layout of the devices is concise, and, most importantly, there is no "branded Chinese" chemical smell. The driver's landing is quite high, which, along with a large glazing area, provides good visibility.
However, the insufficient range of adjustment of the steering column does not allow to presser. Another miscalculation in EMGRONIC EU-7 ergonomics can be considered gray digits of the dial scales that become sufficiently noticeable only when the dashboard backlight is turned on. If the front seats are equipped at least some kind of lateral support, then the relief at the rear sofa is missing completely. Yes, and Troim back accommodate problematic, although there is enough space.
But the rear sofa has a folding armrest with cupcakers, and the back is proportional (60 to 40) folds, opening access to a huge trunk with a volume of 680 liters. By the way, a full-size spare wheel is hidden under hard flooring the trunk, and also on the cast 15-inch (as well as the other wheels) disk. In addition to the trunk, the size of the useful boxes and niches are not happy, even in the glove box a place very little.
At the start of Russian sales (in 2011), EMGRAND EC7 is presented on the market in two Basic and Comfort. At the same time, MP3 radio tape recorder with a mini-USB and six speakers, an electric car, climate control and fog lights are already available in the database. To pay extra for the "dear" package will have only wishing to obtain a leather interior decoration, alloy wheels and parking sensors.
If we talk about the technical characteristics of Geely Emgrand EC7, then for this sedan there are two versions of engines (row four-cylinder gasoline): with a working volume of 1.8 liters (with a capacity of 126 horsepower at 6,200 revolutions and torque in 172 nm at 4250 revolutions) or 1.5-liter (with a capacity of 98 hp at 6000 revolutions and 126 nm at 4000 revolutions).
Both motors are aggregated with a five-speed mechanical gearbox, and since the summer of 2013, a 1.8-liter power unit is also offered to a pair with a variator.
In a pair with mechanics, both engines work quite clearly and simply, especially a 1.8-liter engine - it is perfectly drawn even on low revs, although of course there is no special suquestness from this sedan.
The same feeling and from the suspension. The layout is standard, the McPherson stand is installed on the front, and the back is a semi-dependent beam. At the same time, its settings provide excellent energy intensity and smoothness, respectively, when driving high-speed turns, the car is vile, and the rolls are very noticeable. It will not be enough for the pleasure of speed slalom and steering, the hydraulic tunnel settings make it empty, which pleases in the parking lot, but scares on the track. About security Castle brake system with ABS + EBD production Bosch. However, in the design of the car a lot of foreign components (for example, optics from Valeo).
Sedan Jili Emgrand EC7, as we have already noted, sold in the territory of the Russian Federation since 2011. In 2016, in the configuration "Comfort", it is offered at a price of 559 ~ 579 thousand rubles (depending on the selected type of transmission). The cost of the "top" configuration "Luxury" will be from 639 thousand rubles (with CVT).

Geely Emgrand 7.) - At the moment, one of the most-selling Chinese cars in the secondary market. Not rarely, the Emgradda is bought in a taxi, which previously did not happen to cars from the subway. But as not strange, about such a popular car in a network of very little clear and clear information on the reliability of these machines. Sometimes it even creates the impression that the owners of these cars are actively active, but not always objectively, praise them, trying to justify their choice. And I, like most car enthusiasts, wanted to find out whether the Chinese car really is really so reliable, as they write about him in the reviews.
A bit of history:
Jilie Emgrand EC7 is a D-class model, whose main task was to conquer the European market. The car was first introduced at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2009, and in 2010 the first specimens came across the conveyor. Anotherly unknown Emgrand, as it could be assumed, is the name of the car model, but in fact it is not. In fact, Emgrand is a suburb, which was created by Geely-AUTO, in order to produce a premium class under it. In this case, the Chinese manufacturer went along the path of the Japanese brands "" and "Nissan", once who had previously proposed the market for the market for the Lexus and Infinity.
The emergence of a new model was preceded by a three-year painstaking robot of the Geely Research Center in fruitful cooperation with famous brand companies. Many nodes and aggregates of this model are purchased from third-party manufacturers. Trying to make the car with the most roomy in its class, Chinese specialists did not praise with dimensions - the dimensions of the car are very impressive, length is 4635 mm, width 1789 mm, height 1470 mm, and the wheelbase is 2650 mm. The luggage compartment corresponds to the size of the car, its volume is 680 liters. In our market, Jili Emgrand EC7 is presented in two types of body - sedan and hatchback.
Problem places Jil Emgrand EC7 with mileage.
By visiting the salon, where new Geely cars are sold, you can see that the docking of body panels is not ideal, the same can be said about painting. The quality of the paintwork is discussed almost every owner of Jil Emgrand EC7, since the foci of paint and metal corrosion appear very quickly on the body. Also, the moisture in the trunk should not be very surprised, especially if the car is not in the garage. If on the car you choose, there is moisture in the trunk, check the welding seams for small holes in them. Quite often, the owners complain about the appearance of moisture in the cabin, when inspected, pay attention to the floor in the feet of the driver and the passenger, you may have to elap the windshield seals, can also pass moisture and rear window seals.
Power units
In the lineup of Jil Emgrand EC7 only two motors of 1.5 (97 hp) and 1.8 (128 hp) liters. Machines, with an engine 1.8, much more than with one and a half liters. Very often, the sellers of used cars tell buyers that power units are installed in the car. The experts of Toyotovsky engines do not deny that these motors are very much resemble the power units of the Japanese brand. However, this is not the case, the installed motors are an analogue of the Toyotovsky motor, and are collected in China, but as the operating experience showed, this fact is not displayed on its reliability.
The timing of timing here is chain, the chain is certainly durable, however, in the case of Emgrand, it is better regularly, even with small runs, check its condition, as it can stretch, and then the meeting of the pistons with valves is inevitable. After buying a new car, it is necessary to replace all fluids, the fact is that they are very poor quality and sometimes flooded with non-compliance with the desired amount. In cases where low or not stable revolutions are observed on the car, especially when the motor reacts poorly to pressing the gas pedal, the problem must be signed in the sensors. If, when you turn on the air conditioner, the machine starts to stag, pay attention to the performance of the throttle sensor.
Transmission
Transmission two - five-speed mechanics and stepless variator. There is no questions to the mechanics, except for not very clear work on some instances. The clutch on average serves 70 - 90 thousand km. A Belgian clinoremable variator is installed on Emgrand; Most of the claims for its work are related to the control electronics. When translating the selector to the drive, the engine can start gaining momentum, but at the same time the car will not be mobile or go back. Restart the problem will help restart the motor.
Reliability of the suspension Jil Emgrand EC7
The installed independent suspension type McPherson, from the back - half-dependent beam. Many owners of Jil Emgrand EC7 complain about the quality of shock absorbers who have to change early enough, too, self-defense, their landing places can leave the silent blocks of the front levers. If the previous owner often drove three adult passengers in the rear seat, then in such cases the buffers of the stroke of the rear shock absorbers will be deformed, and plastic anthers will fall apart, which are attached to them. Also, the owners note high wear of the rear pads. On average, the suspension will need to sort out every 70 - 90 thousand km of mileage.
Outcome:
Answering a question, whether it is worth buying Jili Emgrand EC7 with mileage, it is impossible to say, but you can make some conclusions that will help you understand whether it is a car. The main units (engine and transmission), with good maintenance, do not require serious investments up to 100,000 km. As for the failures of other systems of the car, then you need to hope for your luck, since each second option can prevent many negative surprises. And if you want to buy a car in which only consumables need to be changed, then this is not the best option.
But motorists who do not pay attention to small disadvantages and who like to spend time in the garage, this car can be recommended, since in this price range you will not find a car with such a complete set. Before buying, it is worth considering that selling Jilie Emgrand EC7 in second hands with mileage up to 100,000 km is quite difficult, selling in third hands, with a mileage of 150 - 200 thousand km - it is practically not realistic, in addition to this you lose up to 40% of its cost. It is this fact that makes many owners sell cars by proxy and twist mileage.
Advantages:
- Spacious salon.
- Maximum car for low money.
- Direct engine.
- Huge trunk.
- Equipment.
- Price.
- Cost of consumables.
- 4 stars euro ncap
Disadvantages:
- Build quality.
- Poor quality paintwork.
- Electronics failures.
- On some copies of water appears in the cabin.
- Low liquidity in the secondary market.

Hatchback Geely Emgrand EC7-RV - spacious and practical car
One of the most popular models of Chinese cars and Geely companies in particular is. In its price category, it is unlikely that you can find such high-quality on the external and "internal" parameters of the car. If in EC7 in its initial configuration, it was released as a sedan, then some time after the successful start of sales, the manufacturer made it possible to equip his car by the Hatchback Body. "Stuffing" is practically identical with the previous version of the model. The changes touched the standard improvements of the appearance of the car body, the forms became more rounded, but the design itself remained the same.The release of the Emgrand EC7-RV hatchback once again confirmed that Jili is a successful Chinese company that is able to produce high-quality cars for residents of different continents. To date, the transport means of this concern have gained popularity not only in Asian, but also European countries. And this is the proof that a good car does not have to cost expensive.
Appearance - "Business Card" Geely Emgrand EC7-RV?
The attractiveness of cars with the body of the hatchback is in fact, the parameter is purely individual. Someone is a constant fan of sedans, and someone finds in the hatchbecks "The Same thing", which has long been looking for. It is noteworthy that in this case all this is still supported by increasing the practicality of the car and some improvements in the interior. Of the most significant eC7-RV technical parametersthe following can be noted:- The outlines of the body underwent minor changes, but the transformation touched the optics and bumper. In general, the appearance of the Chinese hatchback meets all the requirements of the auto-like level;
- The cabin is equipped with a full range of modern options that allow passengers and a driver to move in a car with a special comfort. Many experts who have time to visit the Hatchback steering the convenience and spaciousness of the seats;
- From other significant parameters - climate control, leather interior, electric adjustment seats, fog lights, immobilirer and other modern functions;
- Emgrand EC7-RV satisfies all safety requirements. The car was checking chinacup, as a result of which was awarded quite good marks;
- The car by ABS and EBD systems, which in itself is already a kind of guarantor of reliability when moving.
The appearance of EC7-RV was rated by buyers not worse than sedan - the previous flagship of the company Gili. This car is "solid" and presentable - and this is exactly what is valued by buyers of budget Chinese cars.
Hatchback Geely Emgrand EC7-RV and EC7 sedan - and what is the difference?
As already mentioned, the new variation of the car did not prevent a significant change in its appearance. Innovations in the equipment touched only the design of the rear suspension. In particular, the load angles were redistributed. At first glance, the transformation is completely insignificant, but on the duration of the storage of parts of the car in due state, this should affect essentially. Otherwise, there are practically no differences. And from features of the use of Chinese hatchback Gili Emgrand EC7 Buyers and experts celebrate the following:- Engine volume - 1.8 liters, power - 127 hp;
- Emgrand EC7-RV is characterized by moderate fuel consumption, which allows car owners to save with it not only when making a purchase, but throughout the entire period of operation;
- In repair and maintenance of Gili Emgrand, the EU7 hatchback is also "unpretentious", but there are different situations;
- The car demonstrates good "behavior" on the roads with a poor coating and in general, it is distinguished by adequate maneuverability while preserving smooth stroke even in adverse conditions;
- Interest in the car is encouraged by creating and implementing additional options. Not so long ago the variators were updated.
In general, the car is featuring convenience and practicality. If it were not for the skepticism of many Russian buyers to the Chinese automotive industry, the excitement on EC7-RV could beat all records. In the meantime, the model is measured to success: slowly, but right.
Is it justified by the price of Jil Emgrand EC7 RV?
As far as outstanding was not the technical characteristics of Chinese cars, most buyers worries, first of all, the price. So far, for cars of such production, motorists are not ready to pay large sums, and from the main advantages of machines from China, they note the adequacy of the ratio of price and quality. By the way, the EC7-RV model is just among such instances.Initially, the Hatchback Gili Emgrand EC7 RV began to be sold in Russia in the most expensive configuration of Luxury type. Its cost exceeded 540 thousand rubles. It is difficult to say what the manufacturer was guided, but the demand for the model clearly did not meet all expectations. At the moment, the price of the basic configuration is 490 thousand rubles, which for the proposed characteristics - more than optimal. The closest competitor EC7-RV is still the sedan of the same concern.

What is the result?
The choice of Chinese hatchback Geely Emgrand EC7-RV is a reasonable solution for those who wish to buy a high-quality car with a complete set of modern characteristics, but does not want to overpay for the "brand". The democratic price of the car concern of Gili is supported by good quality. To speak specifically about EC7, it is unlikely that you can still meet a similar car for the same money. For this parameter, Chinese manufacturers have a share of superiority. In the meantime, you can continue monitoring the improvement of Geely cars. Undoubtedly, this company will present many more interesting models to buyers and will conquer its niche in the Russian market: it already has the grounds for this.- One of the most popular Chinese cars in Russia: from 2012 sold about 32 thousand sedans and hatchbacks. However, two years ago, an updated model appeared in China - and only now it got to Russian car dealers under the "abbreviated" name Geely Emgrand 7. Such a delay is related to the change of the production site: former machines produced under the contract at the Derways Circassian Plant (with welding and painting Body), and updated versions are collected at Bellaj's enterprise in Belarusian Borisov (so far from large-sized machine collectors). There are also crossovers. The victim of "moving" became the hatchback (it accounted for 10% of demand) - From now on, Emgrand 7 will be sold in Russia only with the body of the sedan.
Restyling did not strongly changed the car: new bumpers, grille and lighting grille are very similar to the previous one, although one unusual feature appeared in appearance - it is a zigzag of overall lights in the headlight blocks. Similar evolution and in the cabin: the front panel seems to be different, but very reminds the previous one. However, the steering wheel, appliances, climate control unit and even gear lever are now new.
Modernized motors slightly added in return and now respond to the norms of Euro-5. Basic "Four" 1.5 develops 106 hp. and 140 nm (formerly 98 hp and 126 nm), and engine indicators 1.8 - 129 hp and 170 nm instead of 126 hp and 162 nm. As before, both engines are combined with the five-speed "mechanics", and for versions with a motor 1.8, the PUNCH clinoremable variator is offered. Finally, the adjustments of the suspension and steering control are changed, and it is still equipped with an old school hydraulic.
0 / 0
Now about sad: Emgrand has noticeably rose. Compared with the pre-reform machines of 2015 release - by 130-150 thousand rubles! It is partly possible to justify that from now on, all the immigrants are equipped with a stabilization system, heated the front seats, an invisible access system and LED running lights - before anything, even in the list of options. A basic sedan with a motor 1.5, two airbags, air conditioning and power windows is estimated at 639 thousand rubles. For example, Ravon Gentra (1.5 liters, 107 hp) with mechanics costs from 439 to 579 thousand, although more powdered classmates are 250-300 thousand more expensive.
| Equipment | 1.5 MT5. | 1.8 MT5 | 1.8 CVT. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 639000 | 669000 | |
| Comfort. | 699000 | 759000 | |
| Luxury. | 789000 |
In the Comfort package added rear parking sensors, an audio system with a USB connector, a leather steering trim and alloy wheels. And the top version of Luxury includes six airbags, leather salon, climate control, multimediasystem with touch screen, windshield electrical heating, driving seat electric drive, cruise control, rear view chamber and hatch.
Sales of updated sedans Geely Emgrand 7 will begin on May 30. The first batch of cars is already on the way to the Dealer Centers of the Brand. And in China, meanwhile, the new second-generation hatchback is already presented, followed by a sedan soon. Before us, they, apparently, will get out of next year.
