First generation (FC1; 2007-2013)

The first generation of Geely Yuanjing went on sale on May 18, 2007 after being adjusted by Magna Steyr.[3] Originally named the Geely FC, the compact sedan was later renamed to Geely Yuanjing (Vision) sedan under the Yuanjing (Vision) product series as opposed to the Geely Emgrand (EC7) sedan of the Geely Emgrand product series (Previously a separate sub-brand of Geely).[4] It set its opposite as Hyundai Elantra, which was being sold better than most models in China.

Styling

Styling of the Geely Yuanjing throughout the generations remains similar as the second and third generation cars were extensive facelifts of the first. The original Geely Yuanjing was criticized for resembling the Toyota Corolla (E120), as the Yuanjing was developed benchmarking the compact sedan from Toyota. Most of the early Geely products have the tendency of resembling Toyota products as reverse engineering took a huge part in Geely's past.

Technology

Geely Yuanjing carries the most advanced engine produced by Chinese manufacturers at the time, providing ABS and EBD systems for all models.
