Brand history

Emgrand is a Chinese automobile brand launched in August 2009 by the manufacturer Geely. Unveiled at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, Emgrand aimed to offer high-quality vehicles at affordable prices. The first model, the EC7, began production in July 2009 and was sold in China starting in August 2009. In October 2010, the EC8 model was introduced. In 2014, the Emgrand brand was integrated into Geely, with its products now marketed under the name Geely Emgrand. Since its launch, the Emgrand series has undergone several generations, each bringing improvements in design, technology, and performance. In June 2025, Geely announced that global cumulative sales of the Geely Emgrand had exceeded 4 million units, reflecting the model's popularity and reliability. (global.geely.com)
