Linglong Eco Master

Linglong EcoMaster e lives up to its name with the lowest fuel consumption in the test, but that is where the positives end. Low rolling resistance directly conflicts with braking, and the stopping distance on dry roads is seven metres longer than the best. More concerning is the handling: lifting off the throttle in a wet curve triggers immediate rear-end breakaway. The same slide-prone behaviour appears in dry emergency manoeuvres. At normal speeds, the steering feels vague with poor straight-line stability. Road noise is also prominent. Last place is clear-cut.
