Geely does not build many cars like the Englon SC5-RV: a 5-door hatchback / 4-door sedan with 1.3 L I4, built from 2011 to 2015 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.

The story

The Englon SC5-RV is a subcompact hatchback produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Englon. It debuted as a concept at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. Price ranges from 52.300 yuan to 56.300 yuan.

What is underneath

Under the skin sits 1.3 L I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1258 -. The gearbox is a 5 speed manual. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2461 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Where it sits in Geely's history is not in doubt: the Geely Yuanjing X3 followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Lamborghini Aventador, the Tesla Model X, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Nearby in the Geely catalogue sit the Geely GE and the Geely Yuanjing X6.
