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.

The Geely Grand EC718 has been spotted out, and in a rather odd brown color.

Both the hatch and sedan variants will be paired to 1.8l and 2.0l engines. The 1.8l engine is the 4G18N model that is using D-CVVT technology, and is an improvement over the Geely Yuanjing’s CVVT engine. Max power is 102kw at 6000rpm, torque is 175Nm between 3400 and 3600rpm.

This particular model is expected to go up against the Chery A3, and also the Lifan 620, and various other Chinese made compact sedans.

We believe that this model is set to be known as the Grand FE-2, previously it was known as the Geely FC3.

Re: Emgrand EC7 and EC7-RV (Geely FE-1 and FE-2)

Nice....if this car passes European standards, it will sure pack a punch in europe. Then again, geely must not forget, the koreans can also make cars cheaply too and thus, they must price their cars much cheaply than the koreans.

Re: Emgrand EC7 and EC7-RV (Geely FE-1 and FE-2)

With rumours of Geely planning to enter the Australian market, and hopefully the New Zealand market, could they bring this as well. I hope so because the latest shots show a decent, original car with plenty of potential.
Good work Geely.:thumb:
