On June 16, the Night of the 5th Generation Emgrand i-HEV Smart Hybrid Champion and Global Launch Event grandly commenced, officially bringing this all-new model, which set a Guinness record for ultra-low fuel consumption, to the national market. With hardcore hybrid technology, class-leading product strength, trendy exterior design, and generous purchase benefits, the new car offers consumers a new high-value mobility choice.
After 16 years in the auto market, Geely Emgrand has long become a deeply recognized benchmark for national family sedans, with cumulative global users exceeding 4.2 million. This self-owned brand sedan achieved the remarkable feat of monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units for 173 consecutive months, with five generations of models continuously iterating, and its reputation tested over time by the market. The newly launched i-HEV Smart Hybrid version still adheres to an accessible positioning, with three configurations across the lineup, an official guide price of 87,900 to 97,900 yuan, and a limited-time gratitude launch price starting at only 78,900 yuan. The limited-time policy will last until June 30, allowing ordinary families to easily embrace energy-saving hybrid mobility.
To give back to new and existing users, the official side launched six thoughtful purchase benefits. A 1,000 yuan deposit can directly offset 10,000 yuan of the purchase price; trade-ins of models of the same brand can enjoy up to 7,000 yuan in subsidies, while trade-in subsidies for non-same-brand models can reach up to 5,000 yuan, and existing Emgrand users can also stack an exclusive 3,000 yuan trade-in bonus. Financial plans are flexible and diverse, supporting a 5-year loan with interest-free payments for the first 3 years or a 40,000 yuan 2-year 0-interest plan, effectively lowering the threshold for purchasing a car. At the same time, non-commercial first owners can enjoy free basic data and 3 years of free entertainment data, and the whole vehicle and powertrain come with a 4-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, reducing user burden in all aspects from purchase to use.
In terms of exterior design, while inheriting the family’s classic DNA, the new car incorporates a youthful and refined design language, comprehensively upgrading its overall presence. The front face features a "Mainstay" front grille, with 12 chrome bright strips arranged in order, stretching visual width while creating a steady and imposing texture, seamlessly connected with sharp LED headlights. The headlights have an illumination distance of over 170 meters and a wide lighting range, providing ample visibility for nighttime travel. The side profile has a 0.618 golden-ratio waistline, with smooth and extended lines, paired with a 1.27 ultra-large width-to-height ratio and a 544mm ultra-low body center of gravity, creating a wide-body, low-slung sporty stance.
The new car adds an exclusive Yaoying Gray exterior color, using an ultra-fine metallic aluminum powder combined with special pearl pigment layering process, delivering rich texture as light and shadow shift, understated yet sharp. The entire lineup is equipped with 17-inch aluminum alloy low-drag wheels, with a dynamic black-silver two-tone design that balances appearance and aerodynamic performance. The rear features LED ultra-red taillights with a wavelength exceeding 627nm, offering outstanding penetration and maintaining high recognizability even in rain and fog. The C-pillar triangular window has an elegant shape, and together with 9 exquisite chrome decorations throughout the car, the details fully display a premium feel. The vehicle’s drag coefficient is as low as 0.274Cd, further improving energy-saving performance while optimizing appearance. The interior simultaneously introduces a new Lingyun Gray theme tone, paired with diamond-cut crystal lighting, a multi-faceted crystal gear shifter, and crystal-textured trim panels, creating a highly refined cabin atmosphere. Three interior color schemes and six exterior body colors can also satisfy the aesthetic preferences of different consumers.
Power and fuel consumption are the new car’s core trump cards. The 5th Generation Emgrand i-HEV Smart Hybrid is equipped with Geely’s self-developed i-HEV Smart Hybrid system, featuring a high-efficiency hybrid dedicated engine with thermal efficiency reaching 48.41%. Relying on the "Joule Engineering" full-link energy management system, it maximizes energy utilization. In professional testing, the new car achieved an ultra-low fuel consumption of 2.22L/100km, successfully setting a new Guinness World Record, and with one tank of fuel it even achieved an ultra-long range of 2,357 kilometers, with fuel-saving performance standing out among models of the same class.
The vehicle is equipped with the Xingrui AI Cloud Power 2.0 large model, which can perceive road conditions and environmental changes in real time and intelligently match the optimal oil-electric strategy. In urban areas, the new car can achieve 66km/h pure electric driving, with engine operating time reduced by 27% compared with traditional hybrids, delivering an electric-like driving experience of over 80%, with smooth and quiet starts, completely bidding farewell to the jerkiness of traditional fuel vehicles. It adopts a P1+P3 all-capable hybrid configuration, paired with a 140kW high-power P3 electric drive, with peak torque of 240N·m, achieving optimal power distribution across the four major conditions of low speed, city, high speed, and rapid acceleration. The chassis is jointly tuned by Chinese and European teams, with a 79km/h moose test result and a 34.6-meter braking distance, bringing stable handling and braking experience, with driving performance extremely impressive.
Space and comfort also achieve class-leading breakthroughs. The body dimensions are 4815×1885×1480mm, with a wheelbase of 2755mm, reaching the standard of a quasi-B-segment sedan, with an 85.1% class-leading room utilization rate, and rear headroom, elbow room, and knee room delivering outstanding performance among models of the same class. The regular trunk volume is 610L, expandable to 1779L after the rear seats are folded down, paired with 27 magical storage spaces throughout the car. Whether for daily commuting, family outings, or long-distance road trips, storage needs can be easily met. The interior is equipped with 9-layer sandwich cloud seats, with the front row supporting three-level ventilation and heating, combined with comprehensive NVH noise reduction optimization throughout the car, greatly enhancing ride comfort.
Intelligent and safety configurations max out the vehicle’s overall strength. The new car is built on the GEEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, supporting 5-minute rapid cockpit OTA upgrades. The 14.6-inch ultra-HD central control screen is equipped with the Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit system, with smooth and easy-to-understand interaction, and the full-scenario voice assistant supports bilingual recognition and wake-free operation, making it zero-difficulty to use. It is also equipped with an L2-level intelligent driving assistance system and more than ten active safety functions to escort travel. The body adopts 70% high-strength steel to build a Star Armor cage body, paired with 8 native passive safety structures, a 540° transparent chassis, plus the Divine Shield battery safety system and IP68-level dustproof and waterproof battery. After 15,000 hours of bench testing and 10 million kilometers of all-road-condition verification, its safety quality is trustworthy.
Currently, the 100,000-yuan hybrid family sedan market offers abundant choices, and consumers have higher requirements for fuel consumption, configuration, and cost-effectiveness. The 5th Generation Emgrand i-HEV Smart Hybrid, with an accessible price starting at 78,900 yuan, combines ultra-low fuel consumption, trendy appearance, class-leading space, and intelligent safety, bringing a new choice to the family hybrid market. Relying on Emgrand’s 16 years of brand heritage and the endorsement of 4.2 million global users, this "2L record breaker," with its comprehensively balanced product strength, is bound to become a popular choice in the family hybrid sedan market and continue the legend of the national family sedan.
