Geely to try their hand at the semi premium market with new EC825
Geely doesn’t seem to understand that a name like EC825 is rather hard to remember, but then again any name they think up is likely to be rather ridiculous anyway, so perhaps it is best they stick to serial numbers.
The EC825 is preparing to strike against the B-segment in which it will take on the BYD E6, Chery Eastar, and JAC Binyue. The BYD E6 is probably the biggest seller in this segment, with monthly sales of around 5000 units, hence it is a market that Geely wants to enter into.
Apparently the EC825 will be mated to a 1.8L which will be priced at 80,000rmb to 111,200rmb, where as the 2.0L and 2.4L will be 120,000rmb to 180,000rmb. If you’re thinking the 2.4L version seems a little expensive, then you need to consider the double clutch gearbox that Geely are planning to fit into this motor.

LMAO…….Volvo will be embarrassed to be with this company.
volvo is already embarrasased by their financial situation
Volvo will be glad just to be able to have a company.
I can’t wait to see the final version of this car.
What the hell is the “semi-premium” market and where is it and how will this boring numberated nomenclatured nothingness fit into this wonderous market???
who the hell are u and what are u doing here and how will your crap help???
The ugly black rubber bumper covers are way too distracting to judge how the car looks. Didn’t the Ford Taurus have those in the 80′s. It isn’t a SUV.
it’s not the final version, stupid.
Traven. What is your problem. You need to relax. Bit too tight there.
you need a brain and an IQ.
You have never said anything indicating you have a brain or IQ at all. So what are you talking about. Calling someone names indicates a large IQ? I don’t know anyone that thinks that way.
Calling you names indicate that I know the difference from right and wrong. Telling a mentally challenged person like you to shut up is right, which is what I’m going to do. So yes, I do have a brain and an IQ.
I believe the black bumpers are due to it being a test car. Damn Chinese!
yes, it is a testing car.
Somehow, i can’t help but think that this thing is based on the current Toyota Camry, when will they stop copying cars? But they hid it pretty good this time, unlike BYD which you can always tell which car they copied.
How is this similar to a Camry in ANY way?? How are they copying??!
this is not a camry copy…
It needs to be done before we can make final comments…
Can’t we all get along!
Love and laugh, but don’t pass gas!
Black bumpers might be for the poverty spec versions, though they do rather clash with the Cadillac-esk grill.
Be careful Vie. Someone may start calling you names.
