What are the key features of Geely Emgrand?

Midsized sedans, irrespective of the manufacturer, usually follow a similar exterior styling. The proportions of the 2025 Geely Emgrand are just perfect with no visible odd angles. In terms of size, it’s about the same as the Toyota Corolla Altis. The front of the Geely Emgrand is dominated by a large grille, flanked on both sides by sleek headlights. The car gets all-around LED lighting. The sides are pretty much like any other sedan. There aren’t many character lines. But there’s a nice beltline that stretches from the front headlights to the taillights. The car runs on 17-inch alloy wheels that complements the overall look. 

The rear-end of the 2025 Geely Emgrand gets a nice shape. It gets an integrated lip spoiler. The wrap-around taillights get a unique on-off sequence. That’s really functional and not just for show. The rear bumper is raised. The car comes with 500 litres of boot space.

The cabin of the 2025 Geely Emgrand is unlike other Chinese cars in its class. There’s a lot of soft-touch materials that lends a more premium feel. From the top half of the doors to the dashboard fascia, there are no scratchy plastics. The cabin gets soft-color faux-leather upholstery. The dashboard design itself is minimalist and works well with the white-blue interior. The air vents blend with the dashboard to forge a cohesive look. 

The dashboard gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, connected to a six-speaker audio system. The icons are large and the menus are easy to navigate. The central console is neat and the climate control system blends well with the cabin’s overall theme. Everything is within an arm’s reach and the armrest is positioned nicely to lend support without being intrusive. The gear lever is easy to operate.

The 2025 Geely Emgrand comes with pretty good storage options. The glovebox is well-sized and the doors get bottle-holders. Rear-seat passengers get a dedicated air vent.

Is the Geely Emgrand spacious?

With 4,638mm length, 1,822mm width, and 1,460mm height, the 2025 Geely Emgrand is among the most spacious midsized sedans. It’s a true five-passenger car with a lot of legroom and headroom. The two front seats, as usual, get the maximum space. But the bucket seats in front are a part of the debate. Many are of the opinion that despite the bolstering, the seats are somewhat stiffer than they should be. They should have been much softer. Longer trips could be a bit tiresome. The driver’s seat in the entry-level model doesn’t get any power adjustability. But the steering is adjustable and slipping into a comfortable driving position is easy.

All seats are nicely cushioned and get back support and there’s actually space in the rear seats. Taller passengers won’t have to cry for space. The rear seats fold 60:40 instead of fully flat. But that’s enough to put longer items into the 500-liter trunk. The doors are wide and allow easy entry and exit. The sunroof makes the cabin feel roomier. There’s no dearth of space in the 2025 Geely Emgrand’s cabin.

The 2025 Geely Emgrand weighs almost 1.2 kg and a little more careful planning while overtaking is required. The suspension is on the softer side and bumps are not a problem at all. The Geely Emgrand rides like a big sedan. The comfortable ride comes at the expense of handling and driving dynamics. This car isn’t a corner craver but leans noticeably while turning sharp bends.
