Background

The Emgrand EC8 debuted at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. Formerly known as Emgrand EC825, Geely decided simply name the car Emgrand EC8. [1]

The EC8 is Geely's first entry to the D-segment mid-size sedan or Large family car market. Styling heavily resembles the Toyota Camry (XV40) as the EC8 was benchmarked against and reverse engineered from the Toyota Camry. The Geely EC8 will compete with mid-size rivals such as the Toyota Camry, Volkswagen Magotan, Honda Accord, Nissan Teana and Chery-Riich G5 in the Chinese market.[2]
