Sedan cars received numerous accolades in the past years by being hailed as the best-selling car as Filipinos opt to choose them over bigger car types like SUVs. But things have changed as in our present time, SUVs, MPVs, and crossovers are more in-demand over sedans, especially when the calendar has changed to 2022. What could have been the reason behind it? People say that the hype about big cars is because we Filipinos are accustomed to being hospitable and accommodating to our families and friends. Whenever we travel, it becomes lovelier if we have our loved ones with us. Some people say practicality, for a matter of additional thousands, we can get the bigger option.

But for whatever reason people may have regarding choosing big vehicles over sedans, the fact remains that despite the rapidly growing popularity of bigger cars now, a particular sedan model is on top of the game by being the best-selling car in the country in 2021. And because of that, Chinese automaker Geely pushed through in introducing its entry-level sedan Emgrand in the Philippines market aiming to get the top spot in the segment.

We have known the rivals of the Geely Emgrand as competent car models, they are well-designed and come with impressive road performance. There’s nothing much to talk about the looks of the Geely Emgrand as it is stunning inside and out. Its beauty is on top of its closest rivals, aiming to hit hard on elegance and style. Indeed, its rivals have promising powertrain performance, but how about the Emgrand? Can it also beat its rivals when it comes to road performance?

There were car reviewers who have said that the Emgrand is the best car they have driven for under a million pesos. According to them, you won’t feel that you are driving a budget car. Not only because of its stylishly sophisticated appeal but because of its performance. Although you can’t expect it to give you a sports car performance, it sweeps the road when prompted. The brakes and the suspension support the car whenever you accelerate, especially on a highway drive. And since it is a smaller vehicle than crossovers, SUVs, and MPVs, it's easy for the Emgrand to move forward and pull itself on a fast-paced drive. If you are going to compare it to the existing models from other car brands, it has the potential to be on the top list.
