@@gabsine343 25 years with a weekly maintenance , i dont know why you are looking for a car that last 25 years? papamana mo i papang pasada mo ba yan ? and are you sure all toyota cars last 25 years? some dont even last 5 years. it all depends of who are using it :)
@@gabsine343 Car literally has a 15 year powertrain warranty in other countries. Know why they are limiting it to 5 years in the Philippines? Because most Filipinos will modify or bring it in different auto repair shops outside of the casa. How can you insure something like this if people who are not knowledgeable about it's components. Stick with the casa and you will see these cars for at least 15 years before it reaches a point where it's more costly to maintain than keep. Unless of course you get involved in a Major Accident that will require you to get it declared as total wreck and replace it. By the way, Toyota Cars do not last 25 years. At least not without being more expensive to maintain than replace. We just keep Toyota Cars for that long because nobody can afford new ones and we are okay with the car being usable for a week and be repaired the next week or smoke excessively or worse, threaten to leave us on the road at any given moment. All for the sake of having something to drive and even more stupid for "personal preference". Also, not all Toyota Cars last 25 years. Not without getting Major parts replacement, Engine replacement/reboring or worse just being a complete absolute shit to drive. Look at 5 year old innovas and tell me you'd still drive that thing 20 years from now.
I cannot use it as grab taxi. Passengers are going to make a mess with it and sometimes it stinks. I prefer private driving for formal occasions and business meeting.
The comfort is CVT and is already good enough for Taxi considering we still want to be comfortable while driving taxis. Some Grab cars are more expensive than the Emgrand and manage to be viable. So the Comfort version is already well good enough to be a taxi.
@@mcconellmacapondag4286 di natin alam ang reliability ng powertrain ng emgrand until driving it for like 50K-100K mile mileage. toyota and civic cvts are reliable but nissan is crap. hope emgrand trannys are not made by company that makes nissan cvt.
@@judebautista5925 how is your Alsvin now? Planning to get one.. It's hard to decide. Here's my top 5 Choices for now: 1. Mirage G4 GLX MT 2. Alsvin MT/Platinum 3. Geely Emgrand MT 4. Dzire GL MT/GA MT 5. Vios XLE MT
@@fullthrottlecade9778 I drive the Platinum and I have no complaints since Day 1. I think as long as you do your due diligence of having it undergo PMS religiously then it will reciprocate you with peace of mind. I also realized that the Emgrand grew old fast on me. At first I was so fascinated by it, now it's meh.
I don't think it will be used as taxi. Maybe Grab or a hotel car, but not taxi. It doesn't look the part. It's too elegant for those uses. Let me teach you a term, Joo. Hindi siya mukhang "pang harabas". That means "rough use". I think it's meant to be enjoyed in short and long trips, driving in comfort and elegance. 😉 Also, giving feedback as the driver AND passenger is a great format. Keep it up, Joo!
is geely durable? how's its maintenance? does it breakdown easily? how's its fuel efficiency? I wanna know so I can weign in my options if im going with Toyota raize or this.
I think I saw a post that Geely already allowed to use Emgrand as taxi or for ride sharing apps. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for people who plan on getting this one? :d
Why would it be a bad sign? The taxi companies always get the basic unit anyway. Also if the Taxi companies use it, that means it's as reliable as a Vios.
Hi Joo. I'm really looking for a test drive that highlights it's performance when it comes to the speed bumps. We really have a lot of speed bumps, so does it pass this part? Also, if we can check if a bike fits when the rear seat is folded
cvt is made for fuel efficiency.. mine a 2021 corolla 2.0L, 169 hp, 151 ft pound of torque with cvt makes 40 miles/gallon in the freeway at 68 miles/ hr speed. mas matipid cguro itong geely kc 1.5L ang engine .if we convert it to km /liter then corolla is making 16km/liter.
@Santos Tan III The Geely Ph brochure states that it is 122mm, but some car reviewers state it is 155+mm. My question is for clarification. Your response shows your character.
@@markjavier8157 it's 155mm. Its often mistaken to be 122mm like the previous Emgrand that does not have the CMA Architecture but the real ground clearance of the Emgrand brought to the PH is 155mm.
@@mcconellmacapondag4286 Thanks for the info 🙏👍 The higher ground clearance is reassuring for would be owners (considering the condition of many roads in our country).
@Santos Tan III In the case of the Emgrand, since diff sites cited the clearance as 122mm (when it is actually not), it is better to ask actual car reviewers who did actual measurements. Therefore, Google is not always the answer.
How Ironic, Chinese patronize European Cars with lesser tech and features, while Filipinos love the premium features and techs of cheaper Chinese cars.

The power figures are decent but it feels more powerful when driven. Sign of a refined transmission with great friction efficiency.
Just sold my 2015 Elantra, I’m going to buy this Geely emgrand.
do you have it already?
Amazing review! This is what I am looking for, from the horn sound to the passenger POV. Thank you, Sir! This confirms my soon to be purchase... New subscriber here! ❤❤❤
what color are you looking at sir? Dark blue pa lang nakita ko in person pero ang ganda na
With a non-Turbo and a naturally aspirated engine, put them parts readily available and it can even use it as a grab or taxi.
in other words, geely emgrand is a luxury sedan on a budget.
Amazing review my dudes, keep it up!!!
After market parts is just what holds me back to purchase this. I’ve been hearing these involved in accidents spare parts takes time to have.
Bang for the bucks if the driving comfort is almost similar to corolla or civic. Nice review As always... 👍👍
Thank you! Bang Bang Bang!
Maganda to para ma upgrade din ang features ng car ng other manufacturers
Perfect, there's a new player on this segment
Emgrand is compared to civic or altis & not in vios… this is good deal… toyota honda mitsubishi watch out for Geely & the price is awesome!
He compared it to camry by dimensions
It has been benchmarked with 3 series, and it’s 0.3 decibels quieter than that even in high speeds.
Price is awesome but the reliability is not so awesome

Thanks! Will do! :D
I cannot use it as grab taxi. Passengers are going to make a mess with it and sometimes it stinks. I prefer private driving for formal occasions and business meeting.
I heard that Geely will also come out with a manual Emgrand. Since manual will be cheaper, people might consider this as taxi or grab.
The comfort is CVT and is already good enough for Taxi considering we still want to be comfortable while driving taxis. Some Grab cars are more expensive than the Emgrand and manage to be viable. So the Comfort version is already well good enough to be a taxi.
Both manual and auto transmissions are available for this model in China. But with Geely's own engine with 114 HP.
I hope they release it before we get a unit. I'd prefer a manual tbh
Yes plsss

Seems like a response to King Panda. 🤣
Geely Philippines will be able sell, at least, 3,000 Emgrands.
Nice! Been waiting for your review on this Geely sedan

have you go for emgrand?

Hopefully the increasing competition will “force” other brands to step up on features and pricing.
How many liters of gasoline does it consume while driving in the city?
I don't think it will be used as taxi. Maybe Grab or a hotel car, but not taxi. It doesn't look the part. It's too elegant for those uses.

Thank you for another great review. Can you also please review the Emgrand comfort model if there is one? Salamat po.
Subscribed. U r a great car reviewer sir SoJoo
Yehey thank youuuuuu 🥰
Does emgrand have auto tilt side mirrors when backing up?
I dnt think so
loving your review bro. hi from Malaysia.
is geely durable? how's its maintenance? does it breakdown easily? how's its fuel efficiency? I wanna know so I can weign in my options if im going with Toyota raize or this.
Ff
raize recall in IDN
raize was also my first choice until I drove the emgrand. I just dk how it fairs against raize but the difference shouldn't be that far.
How is it compare to MG5?
Thank you for this review idol!
No problem 😊
which is better mg zs or emgrand?different segment but almost same price point.
Suv zs
Sedan emgrand
Torn between those 2!
Nice and informative, appreciate your feedback throughout the video and hopefully you can do a comparo 👍
What is the KM/L?
Already subscribed! Very nice review 🤍
How does it compare with mg 5?
Pound for pound it looks better than the Vios or City. The real question is what's going to be the resale value after 5yrs.
Let us see~
prolly still low. bad thing for ppl who sell their cars after only few years of using
How about its fuel consumption? Is it fuel efficiency?
Is it better than the city?
I think this one has more flexibility with the drive modes that actually work
smashing the like button!
Love ur video❤
Please watch the new 2022 mg5 sedan launch in Thailand just last year. A new sporty look. I hope it will bring it to the Philippines.
Did this car have the same feature as China Geely for the underground 360 camera?
This doesnt have the 360 feature
Raize vs Emgrand in the early part of 2022.
reliable brands SCC recall in IDN

I heard they are bring geely preface to Malaysia not emgrand
They might but it might also come in a Proton badge.

Can you send me a bike hahahaha humps, will find them but the bike..
What about cabin noise or road noise compared to vios and honda city?
bro how does the fuel economy compare to the honda city RS? thanks alot!

what are the difference between the premium and comfort?
What i know is the auto trunk, sun roof, leather trims

One agent said, 122mm is for full load capacity (5passenger + full 500L trunk load) while 155mm if only loaded with the driver
will you be reviewing the comfort version?
Of course sir. Wala pang units
Nice review
Thank you 🥰
Mg5 or emgrand?
Emgrand .... Till now Empow at MG GT pa lang ang tumalo sa exterior. but all the feature all brand will leveled .
Same options I had, I went with emgrand, no regrets so far.
I went with the MG 5 much more cheaper and having no regrets too. Hope you enjoyed your units 😊
Nice review bro
Nice car, nice review tnx
No test drive for the comfort variant? 🥺
No test drive because it's basically the same. Just no sunroof, less airbags, no leather seats. Driving experience, engine, etc are the same.
Does the car have Nav? Or android auto?
None..
No Android Auto due to Google ban in China. I think I read somewhere you can have it installed via 3rd party for 1500 pesos.
Yo tengo un emgrand y esuna belleza
