Chronology
SuccessorGeely Yuanjing X1 (Geely Panda), Geely Panda Mini EV

The Geely LC, sold in its home market as the Geely Panda[9] or the Gleagle Panda, is a city car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Geely Auto from November 2008 to 2016. In 2010 the LC scored 45.3 in C-NCAP crash tests,[2] making it China's first[2] locally researched and developed compact car to be awarded a 5-star rating,[10] and it is subsequently the safest Chinese hatchback[2] as of 2011.[11] The LC was able to achieve the above despite a development process that relied more on computer simulations than actual crash tests.[12] In 2017, The Panda was replaced by a facelifted version of the car known as the Geely Yuanjing X1.

Online sale

[edit]

As of 22 December 2010,[13] popular Chinese e-commerce retailer Taobao Mall sells the LC online[14] although buyers must put down a 288 yuan deposit and visit a local dealership for a test drive prior to purchase.[1] The LCs on offer are not delivered to your door.[15]

First day online sales totalled near 500.[16]

Styling

[edit]

The LC's styling has been recognized for its exceptional exterior,[17] which manufacturer Geely says is "bionic"[2] and resembles a panda[17] but that some criticize for resembling the Toyota Aygo,[18][19] instead. Geely outsourced the design of the LC's exterior to another Chinese firm, CH-Auto.[12]
