As long as electric vehicles are mentioned, battery life anxiety is an unavoidable pain point. After all, not every user who buys an electric car can install a home charging station for daily charging, and the time taken for public fast charging is also the same as that for fuel vehicles. Refueling time is unmatched, so the best way to solve this problem is still to extend battery life.
Geely is confident in this electric SUV and gave it a very interesting name - the long-term version of Emgrand GSe, which has a long battery life (NEDC450km), a long wheelbase (long wheelbase 2700mm) and a long warranty (lifetime warranty for the battery of the first owner). Therefore, if you are considering choosing a compact electric SUV, you might as well get to know our protagonist, the "Long Endurance Edition" Emgrand GSe, in this test drive event.
Geely Emgrand GSe is based on the fuel version in appearance, and the overall shape is basically the same as the fuel version. The long-life version of the new car has undergone minor changes, mainly changing the shield logo on the rear of the car to the "GEELY" letter logo, and providing two-color body color matching, among which the black painting creates a suspended roof that makes the whole car look more fashionable.
The headlights are very clear, and the integrated LED headlights adopt a lens design
Emgrand GSe is a crossover SUV with a fast-moving body and a stylish and dynamic three-dimensional waistline.
The rear of the car presents a wide body and low-lying visual effect. The raised LED taillights with round island visuals and the L-shaped chrome decoration in the fog lamp area make the rear more personalized.
18-inch two-tone five-spoke alloy wheels are stylish and sporty, equipped with 225/45R18 refined tires
The interior of the electric car adopts an all-in-one cockpit design, and its clay plastic dashboard is inspired by the arch bridge of West Lake in Hangzhou, and its appearance is very beautiful. The overall layout of the center console is also neat and reasonable, the buttons and knobs are neatly arranged, and the imitation metal brushed decoration effectively enhances the exquisiteness of the car. The three-spoke multi-function flat-bottom steering wheel brings a good sports atmosphere. The speed shifting operation is different from that of fuel vehicles. It is a knob-type shifting with a beautiful shape and a good damping feel.
The Emgrand GSe is equipped with a large panoramic canopy that provides ample daylight inside the car, but it cannot be opened.
The electric car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 270Nm. These parameters are equivalent to the power of a 1.8T gasoline car. However, unlike a gasoline car, its "switch" response is very sensitive, and there is no delay in power connection when the gasoline car increases speed. Especially during the initial acceleration, the electric car accelerates very quickly, and after the sports mode is turned on, the push-back feeling is more obvious. The acceleration of 0-100 km/h is measured in about 9.3 seconds. As long as the "switch" is applied, the car will output very strong torque.
As a family car, the Emgrand GSe has a soft steering feel and is not accurate in pointing. The suspension adjustment of the front and rear MacPherson torsion beams is also comfortable, and can filter out various small bumps on the road. However, the brakes of electric vehicles are different from those of fuel vehicles. It takes some time to adapt. It provides three levels of kinetic energy recovery, and there is a strong sense of resistance when releasing the accelerator.
Finally, let me talk about the power battery that everyone cares about most. The newly launched top-level version 600 model is equipped with a high-density ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 61.9kWh. Its battery energy density is higher than the average level of 160Wh/kg in the same category. It reaches 182.44Wh/kg, providing the vehicle with a NEDC range of 450 kilometers.
In the compact pure electric SUV market, the Emgrand GSe can be said to be the best in its class in terms of configuration, power and quality. It also maintains Geely's consistent high cost performance, coupled with dynamic fashion, I believe this electric SUV with internal and external repair functions will impress many young people and bring good market performance.
