2022 Geely Emgrand Review | Behind the Wheel

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.

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

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.

[marcs]

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.

To be honest, i think you are one of the best car reviewer out there !! Big fan from Singapore.

[MiggyMndza]

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.

Been waiting for this, watched a lot of reviews of this car but I still look forward to Autodeal 😘

Geely really knows how to design great interiors

[dennislance]

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.

Been waiting for this review! Please make a comparo with MG5. Thank you!

Nice review, Caco. Dapat ganito lahat ng reviews, eh. Para sa tao, hindi sa mga brand.

[heesingsia]

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.

Been waiting for this review. Great job, Autodeal!

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.

[Headhunterzify]

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.

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.

[christinelucio]

The two tone interior looks amazing! I love the color blue 💙

[WheelHeadd]

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.

[enzz]

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.

Been waiting for this! And I really love the honest review. Thank you!
