Aside from this, the Emgrand also gets a set of 17-inch alloy wheels for its higher-end variant, the lower model only gets 15-inch steel wheels with hub caps. At the back, the Emgrand comes with full-width taillights that also come with a unique start-up sequence as a nice party trick.

The inside of the new Geely Emgrand comes with a premium-looking and premium-feeling interior. This can be seen in its dual-layer minimalistic dashboard that comes with interior highlights that give the vehicle a much brighter cabin. This holds especially if you choose to go with the Premium variant at it comes with a unique blue and white color combination for its cabin. Just like the rest of the models, Geely has done well to equip the vehicle to maintain a premium yet affordable stance in the market. As for its space, the Emgrand comes with 500-liters worth of it at the rear, thanks to a massive trunk.
