Gleagle
Automobile brand
Gleagle (Chinese: 全球鹰; pinyin: Quánqiú Yīng) was an entry-level brand of automobiles manufactured by Geely. Some Gleagle cars, such as the Gleagle Panda, were available for sale on the Internet in China via the Taobao Mall, a popular e-commerce site. While Geely would deliver the car to the customer's address, buying one of the Panda models on offer did necessitate a trip to a traditional dealer. This sub-brand was discontinued in 2015; most products continued to be sold directly under the Geely brand.
01History
The Geely group from Hangzhou introduced this brand for automobiles at the end of 2008. The other brands Englon and Emgrand followed in June and July 2009, respectively. In 2014, Geely announced that it would phase out these three brands and would once again sell all vehicles under the brand Geely expel. In 2015, this restructuring was still ongoing and completed in 2016.
