Emgrand (Chinese: 帝豪; pinyin: Dìháo; literally: "Imperial"), is an automobile marque owned by the Chinese automaker Geely.[2] It was launched in August 2009.

History

The Emgrand marque was publicly unveiled at the 2009 Auto Shanghai autoshow, together with two other new Geely brands, Englon and Gleagle.[2][3]

The first Emgrand EC7 production models for retail sale were completed in July 2009 at the Geely plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang.[2][4] The EC7 went on sale in China in mid-August 2009 as the marque's launch model.[4] The second Emgrand production model, the Emgrand EC8, was launched in October 2010.[5]

In December 2011 it was announced that Emgrand would be launched in the United Kingdom in late-2012, with the Emgrand EC7 planned to be the first model to go on sale.[6] Emgrand vehicles will be distributed in the UK by Manganese Bronze Holdings (which Geely owns), trading under the name Geely Auto UK.[6]
