At a time when Chinese cars are making their gradual mark among Nepali customers, Saakha & Universal Automobiles has announced it is planning to launch Geely Emgrand EC7 -- which achieved a 4-star rating on the Euro-New Car Assessment Program (Euro-NACP) -- in the market by the end of 2012.

"The rating, highest ever achieved by any Chinese car, has proven that Chinese cars are equally good besides having a good look. We want Nepali customers to own it as soon as possible," said Prabal Saakha, managing director of Saakha Group, the parent company of Saakha & Universal Automobiles, the sole authorized distributor of Geely in Nepal.

The EC7 is an entry-level sedan with attractive features and Saakha beleives it can give tough competition to other entry-level sedans available in the market. It is equipped with I4, 16 V DOHC, CVVT engine, can generate a maximum power output of 139 kw at 6,200 rpm and a peak torque of 172 nm at 4,200 rpm.
