I chose the white color — it’s not flashy, but it looks clean and elegant, the kind of design that stays nice over time. The front grille has a distinctive and recognizable look, and the trim I got comes with a full-width rear light bar. Honestly, I didn’t feel it made much of a difference — maybe some people like those kinds of details, but I didn’t find it particularly meaningful.
The car has a 360-degree camera and parking sensors, and everything works smoothly. Voice commands are recognized quickly, and the Geely app for remote control works fine, although there’s a slight delay of a few seconds — still acceptable. The automatic headlights are also quite handy.
Overall, the car has everything you need — no unnecessary extras or flashy features you’ll never use. One thing I really liked is the physical buttons below the screen — they make things easier and more convenient than having to rely on touch controls.
As for fuel consumption, I’ve only driven about 30 km so far in heavy city traffic, and it showed 11.6 L/100 km. But according to other owners, the real-world consumption should be between 7 to 8 liters, so I’ll monitor that more closely over time.
When I was buying, I was torn between the Chery Arrizo and the Geely Emgrand. The Arrizo had slightly better performance and more features, but I felt the interior quality was noticeably lower. Even the display unit looked cheap, with too much plastic.
Since I wanted a reliable daily car for the family that would last years, I went with the one that felt better built. In the end, I support Chinese brands, and for AED 60,000, I believe the Geely Emgrand was the right choice.
