A new Geely hatchback has been spotted out by a user of the Auto.Sohu forum, this model is quite similar in design to the Geely FC-3 model which Geely displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year.

What do CCT readers think of this latest model from Geely? It appears that Geely may well use a different brand for these models, perhaps the same way Kia altered their branding for the latest Kia Borrego, in an attempt to move Geely away from the ‘cheap and cheerful’ cars and more towards a higher, more up market brand. This car is clearly a step in the right direction for Geely.

Emgrand EV review at autoexpress

Verdict
The Emgrand EV is an interesting pointer to tech that is likely to appear in Geelys and Volvos here in Europe. It needs fine-tuning, but there is clear potential here. Range anxiety is always going to be an issue with electric vehicles, but the system obviously works and with the old car underpinnings ditched in Europe for something more modern, the system could shape up to be a worthy Nissan Leaf competitor.
