The Geely Emgrand (Шаблон:Lang-zh), originally the Emgrand EC7, is a car produced by Chinese automaker Geely. After the discontinuation of the Emgrand brand, the EC7 was renamed to the Geely Emgrand in 2014.

First generation (Emgrand EC7; 2010-2014)

The EC7 was the launch vehicle for the Emgrand (Шаблон:Zh) brand, the medium-to-high-end luxury brand that was launched by Geely in July 2009. It was originally launched with multiple Mitsubishi-sourced engines, including a 1.5-litre 4G15 inline-four engine and a 1.8-litre 4G18 inline-four engine. A 2013 update of the EC7 added slightly smoked headlights, with no other changes.

Development

The car was developed from the outset as an export model. Geely enlisted the services of a range of suppliers, including Siemens for the electronic control system, Lear Corporation for the seats, and Saint-Gobain for the glass. The production line was equipped with products from Fuji, PDE, and Dürr AG.Шаблон:Citation needed

Global sales

In preparation for its introduction into the European market, the EC7 scored 4 stars in the Euro NCAP tests, the first car designed and produced in China to do so.Шаблон:Citation needed Prices were estimated at £10,000 for the 1.5 model on launch. As of October 2015, it was China's best-selling domestic sedan.

United Kingdom

The car was scheduled to be launched into the United Kingdom market in late 2012. Geely established Geely Auto UK, a jointly-held subsidiary of Manganese Bronze Holdings and LTI based in Coventry.

In partnership with Manganese Bronze, Geely set up a 40-strong dealer organisation. Small family-style garages were chosen to sell the cars, being described as "the sort of garages that used to sell Škodas before the company was owned by Volkswagen, and the type of establishment that once might have sold Rovers."

Second generation (2014-2018)

Шаблон:Infobox automobile The second generation Geely Emgrand was shown to the public in the 2014 Beijing Auto Show carrying the new Geely Earth emblem. The replacement of the emblem marked the end of the Emgrand premium brand for Geely. The second generation Emgrand is based on the same platform as the EC7.

Facelift

The second-generation Emgrand sedan received a facelift in 2016 for the 2017 model year, donning Geely's "Cosmos" grille as well as redesigned taillights.
