Geely SC7 is a C class sedan that meets all European standards for quality, safety and reliability. In this article, we'll talk about the features of this car, various trim levels and the price in Russia.

Geely SC7 belongs to those cars that will always be in demand, because the reasonable price and at the same time high quality arouse genuine interest among many motorists.

Sharpened body lines, an elongated roof, stylish headlights, oblique foglights and a powerful chrome grille make the car solid in a European style. By the way, among the fellows in the class, the Geely SC7 is distinguished by non-standard dimensions and characteristics that are atypical for the C class, so the car is more like the D class. And I must say, they did it well.

The basic equipment of the Geely SC7 is pretty standard for chinese cars: the presence of ABC and EBD systems, two airbags, air conditioning, foglights, modern audio system, power steering, central locking, additional noise insulation, power windows. By the way, if your car needs a glass replacement, you can order it on the website for auto glass for foreign cars. IN maximum configuration the interior of this sedan is presented not in fabric upholstery, but in light leather, and you must admit that this also adds solidity and respectability to the car.

It is noteworthy that this sedan received 4 stars out of five possible according to the EuroNCAP system. Geely SC7 showed reliability and safety both for the driver and for all passengers, and this is a very good result for a car from the Middle Kingdom.

In Belarus, the price for Geely SC7 in white and in the basic configuration is 160,270,000 Belarusian rubles (approximately 581,425 rubles in the Russian Federation), in the metallic color - 166,470,000 Belarusian rubles.

The warranty period in Belarus is 3 years or 100,000 km of run.

Geely SC7 is not yet on sale in Russia and, accordingly, the price for this car is not specified at the moment, but Chinese manufacturers assure that the cost of the sedan will not exceed 400,000 rubles for the basic configuration. In Russia, this sedan will be covered by a 5-year warranty or 150,000 km of run.

A good car with decent quality today can be very expensive, so the natural desire of many buyers is to find a successful model in the budget segment. One of these Chinese proposals is the Geely SC7 sedan. Beautiful photos of the car and promotional videos made many potential buyers think about the advisability of buying this car. Also, the surprised and enthusiastic reviews of the owners about the purchase add fuel to the fire.

Geely SC7 is a fairly spacious and roomy sedan, which has become one of the flagship of the concern in the budget class. The car began to be produced only in 2011, because all technologies on board the sedan are quite fresh. Although the Chinese concern did not strive to create a car of incredible quality, the novelty turned out to be quite acceptable.

We consider the photo - the interior and exterior of the sedan

Budget cars of Chinese origin are often not happy with their design. In the photo, we often see strange shapes that were planned to be unusual and standout, but became just ridiculous. In the case of the Geely SC7, there were no such shortcomings. Taking the car for a test drive from the salon and taking a little ride on it quality road, you will be surprised at first impressions. This is what the reviews say - car drivers cannot get used to such technical features for a long time:

• Geely SC7 turns out to be quite modern car with good looks;
• not a single detail of Chinese design in the car annoys the driver;
• comfort reigns in the interior, there are no unusual strange solutions;
• the design of the center console and the entire panel is simple and incredibly comfortable;
• there are no experiments and other incomprehensible solutions in the design of the car;
• the trunk has 640 liters of storage space - an incredible figure.

For the Geely SC7, these criteria were a surprise. If buyers weren't so generous in their reviews, one might suspect that such data is advertising. But even professional journalists on test drives praise the car and find many advantages in Chinese technology. The Geely SC7 is really interesting in terms of its performance and may well provide a quality and safe ride for any buyer. To be convinced of this, it is enough to take a car for a test drive in the salon.

Technique and features of the engine compartment of a budget Chinese

Many cars from Chinese concerns presented in the budget class are not very reliable and of high quality. This forces the buyer to be careful when choosing, but in terms of the Geely SC7, such troubles are not expected. The car is reliable and well-built, and also has good technology.

The Chinese manufacturer offered only three units for its budget car, but in Russia today only a 1.8-liter engine with mechanical box gears in 5 steps. The benefits of such a technique in the Geely SC7 are as follows:

• on a test drive and in real operation, all the benefits of the volume of the power unit are felt;

• the gearbox is as simple as possible, which means high reliability and good operation;

• chinese technologies in the complete set of the machine do not raise any doubts in terms of quality and reliability;

• despite the low price, the car provides ample equipment for the buyer;

• taking into account the high reliability of all units, the cost of using transport will be as low as possible.

Such technical advantages make Geely SC7 one of the quality and enjoyable offers in the class budget sedans... True, talk about too low prices not necessary. Today, the cost of this model has risen to 450-470 thousand rubles, which brought the car out of the range of affordable transport.

The pricing policy of Geely's company is surprising, because some cars left the old price tags, while others switched to the new foreign exchange rate in the country. Chinese cars, however, remain one of the most available options for the buyer. And confidence in the correctness of the choice comes after the first test drive.

Summing up

The good quality of modern Chinese cars is perfectly reflected in the Geely SC7 model. This is one of the youngest sedans in the budget transport model line. The technologies and offerings integrated into this model are current and offer good quality. With such advantages, the purchase will be one of the most profitable.

However, do not forget about the trademark Geely SC7 cons. The car belongs to the younger price segment of the corporation, because it contains certain childhood diseases. The operation of such vehicles implies regular repairs and good maintenance.

Geely SC7 is a spacious and externally interesting car that has become the flagship of the concern in the budget class. The sedan began production only in 2011, which means that all the technologies presented on board the vehicle are really fresh. Even if we take into account the fact that the Chinese, most likely, did not plan to dazzle the venerable audience with something unusual, the car turned out to be really worthy of attention.

Interior and exterior of Geely SC7

Very often, budget cars, originally from the Middle Kingdom, do not please with their design. In the photos that are regularly published in specialized publications, we can contemplate somewhat lurid forms with a primordial Chinese flavor. However, in the case of the Geely SC7, even hardened cynics will not notice this. When you drive this car on a good road test drive the SC7, you'll be pleasantly surprised by your first impressions. Newly minted owners who have already purchased this vehicle unanimously note the following positive points:

2. a cozy salon, in which there was no room for strange solutions typical for many Chinese cars;
3. complete absence of unsuccessful experimental solutions in technological terms;
4. availability roomy trunk (usable space - 640 liters).

For a car born in China, such figures were a really pleasant surprise. If the owners of the new model were not so generous in their reviews of the Gili SC7, it would be quite reasonable to suspect that all this is nothing more than a clever publicity stunt on the part of the manufacturer. However, even professional journalists who attended numerous test drives unanimously praise the car and find many positive qualities in Chinese technology.

Geely SC7 is really interesting in its characteristics. To be convinced of this, you just need to take the car for a test drive in the showroom. Only sitting behind the wheel of this vehicle you will feel all the delights.

A lot of budget cars that came off the assembly lines of Chinese concerns, in practice, turn out to be not very high quality and reliable. This pattern forces potential buyer scrupulously treat the process of choosing a new four-wheeled friend for yourself, skillfully separating pearl grains from chaff. The Geely SC7 is truly a pearl grain that boasts excellent build quality and impeccable filling. In Russia, the budget sedan is offered only in one version - with a 1.8-liter engine, which works in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission. Let's consider the main advantages of this model:

1. the engine works correctly under all conditions;
2. ease of operation of the gearbox;
3. democratic cost of a vehicle of excellent quality.

Such technical characteristics of the Geely SC7 deservedly put it in an honorable row of really high-quality and pleasant offers in the segment of Chinese-made budget sedans. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that prices are too low to speak of. Currently, the price of Geely SC7 varies from 450 to 470 thousand rubles, which automatically takes this instance out of a number of affordable vehicles.

The manufacturer's pricing policy is surprising, given that the company left the same price tags on some of its cars, and for some reason the cost of other models was recalculated taking into account the exchange rate of foreign currencies in the country. Nevertheless, Chinese transport remains truly the most affordable for the average consumer in our country.

Let's sum up

The good quality of Chinese cars is perfectly reflected in the Geely SC7 model. This specimen, being the freshest model in the model line of budget class sedans, today can really be called a standard of impeccable quality. The proposals and technologies implemented in the production of this car are really relevant.

However, one should not forget that the Geely SC7 is a striking representative of the lower price segment, which means that the operation of a vehicle automatically implies timely preventive repairs and conscientious maintenance.

In January 2013, the Belarusian-Chinese joint venture BelGi launched the assembly of a new car intended for the Belarusian and Russian markets. Initially, the Geely SC7 sedan will be sold only in Minsk, but in the summer it is planned to start official sales in Russia.

The first official appearance of this chinese sedan The C-class took place in front of the public back in 2011 at the Beijing Motor Show, and in Russia the novelty was presented in December last year during a dealer conference in Moscow. Geely's SC7 car was developed by the manufacturer based on the platform of the Geely Vision, well-known in our country, but for russian market a modified version has been prepared, the production of which is planned to be deployed at the Belarusian plant in Borisov.

Outwardly, the new sedan does not differ in anything bright and catchy. The design is sustained in modern traditions and is consistent with the budget class of the car. In front, the oblique "eyes" of the fog lights look very attractive, as well as the chrome grille, from which three stamped bonnet ribs emanate. On the side of the doors, a distinctive stamped line is also noticeable, sharply rounded at the rear wing. A simple but high bumper and large lights with two transverse chrome stripes are installed at the rear.
The Geely CS7 sedan is 4682 mm long, 1725 mm wide and 1485 mm high. At the same time, the ground clearance of the novelty is 160 mm, and the wheelbase is 2602 mm. The volume of the trunk is 560 liters, which is a very good indicator. The curb weight of the car is approximately 1248 kg.

The Gili SC7's five-seater cabin is quite spacious in the front, but a bit cramped in the back. As for the finish, it leaves much to be desired: obviously cheap plastic and unpretentious velor are used everywhere. The layout of the front panel and center console is also very simple, but quite ergonomic, although the car does not shine with special functionality. There are no elements on the steering wheel, there are not even basic audio control buttons.

If speak about technical characteristics, then for the Russian market the Geely SC 7 sedan will be equipped with only one engine. The role of the power unit of the novelty, Chinese engineers provided the four-cylinder gasoline engine JL4G18 with a displacement of 1.8 liters (1792 cm3). The engine is equipped with a distributed fuel injection system, is located in the front, transversely and has an in-line arrangement of cylinders, each of which has four valves. The maximum power of the motor used is 127 hp. at 6200 rpm, and the peak torque falls at around 172 Nm at 4200 rpm, which is enough for development maximum speed equal to 185 km / h. The manufacturer does not officially report the dynamics of acceleration of the car, but some foreign sources suggest that the novelty can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in about 8-9 seconds. The JL4G18 engine complies with the Euro-4 environmental standard, and its average consumption fuel is about 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
The car has front-wheel drive and is completed only with a five-speed manual transmission, although a six-speed "automatic" is also offered to buyers in the Celestial Empire. Note also that a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 2-liter diesel engine are available for the Geely SC7 in China, but their deliveries are not expected in Russia.

It is still difficult to say anything specific about the quality of the suspension of the novelty, it is only known that an independent system with MacPherson struts will be used in front, and a torsion beam at the back. It is planned to use ventilated brake discs on all wheels, but the manufacturer has not yet announced their diameter. It is also known that brake system car will be supplemented aBS systems and EBD. Steering additionally equipped with a power steering.

The Chinese versions of the Geely SC7 sedan have successfully passed the EuroNCAP (crash test) test, as a result of which they received 4 stars for safety, which is considered a very high result for the Chinese car industry. In September last year, the novelty was certified in Belarus, and at the moment crash tests and other tests are being completed at the Russian Central Research Automotive and Automotive Institute (NAMI). It is planned that all tests will be fully completed by April - May, after which the novelty will be allowed for sale in Russia. The manufacturer plans the official start of sales in the middle of summer.

It is assumed that the new sedan Geely SC7 in Russia will be sold in two trim levels: "Standard" and "Comfort", but this is not yet final data, since marketing preparations for the start of sales have not yet been completed.
Today it is known for sure that in the basic "Standard" configuration Geely SC7 sedans will be equipped with fog lights, power windows, two front airbags, an air conditioning system, heated outside mirrors and a modern MP3 audio system equipped with a USB output and six speakers. If desired, the customer will be able to order leather interior trim and sunroof installation as a separate option.
As for the price of the car, while the official representatives of the Chinese manufacturer do not give exact figures, but promise that the cost of the Russian version of the Geely SC7 sedan will not exceed 400,000 rubles.
