Geely Emgrand GT wins car of the year award

Guangzhou : Geely Auto’s Emgrand GT, the company’s flagship sedan, has won the coveted 2016 “China Car of the Year” award, beating out major international rivals.

The 140 cars that entered the competition underwent road tests from October 2014 through September 2015, with three rounds of voting to eliminate contenders. The first-placed Emgrand GT scored a total of 104 points, the Daimler Maybach S-Class came in second with 61 points and the Jaguar XE came in third with 55 points. This year marked the first time a Chinese vehicle had been entered into the competition. The China Car of the Year award was established in 2012 by a group of Chinese media in partnership with public relations consultancy Prime Research. The 2016 panel was made up of 22 chief editors, CEOs and chairmen of major Chinese automotive media, including Car Owners, Auto Fan and the Chinese edition of Car Magazine.

A media panelist said, “The Emgrand GT is the first Chinese branded vehicle to enter into the China Car of the Year competition and it shows that Chinese brands are improving rapidly. By working with international talent, Geely Auto is producing increasingly competitive cars. The Geely Emgrand GT left a strong impression in testing on the judges, in terms of design, engineering and handling.”

Emgrand GT is a key model of Geely Auto’s new brand strategy. Designed by Peter Horbury, Senior Vice President of Design of  Geely Auto in person, Emgrand GT features a fast back style in design with a perfect curve and  an impressive body of 4956mm long, which  is not only on a par with the luxury coupes but also  initiates  a sporty, aesthetic and creative journey.

The front grille with its design concept deriving from the ripples on pond, works with brand new Geely logo to form a unique family DNA. Bright as daylight, it comes with Follow Me Home delay function which is heartwarming and caring and makes you feel the irresistible charm of technology.
