The Emgrand EC8 is a large family car of the Emgrand sub-brand of Chinese automaker Geely.

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. The car resembles a cross between the Toyota Camry (XV40) and the Cadillac CTS 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]
