The EC7 was the launch vehicle for the Emgrand ({{lang-zh|s=帝豪|p=Dìháo}}) brand, the medium-to-high-end luxury brand that was launched by Geely in July 2009. It was originally launched with multiple Mitsubishi-sourced engines, including a 1.5-litre 4G15 inline-four engine and a 1.8-litre 4G18 inline-four engine. A 2013 update of the EC7 added slightly smoked headlights, with no other changes.

The car was developed from the outset as an export model. Geely enlisted the services of a range of suppliers, including Siemens for the electronic control system, Lear Corporation for the seats, and Saint-Gobain for the glass. The production line was equipped with products from Fuji, PDE, and Dürr AG.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}

In preparation for its introduction into the European market, the EC7 scored 4 stars in the Euro NCAP tests,{{cite web|url=http://www.euroncap.com/results/geely_emgrand/ec7/2011/462.aspx|title=Emgrand EC7|publisher=Euro NCAP|access-date=2012-05-27}}{{cite web |url=http://www.chinacartimes.com/2011/12/15/geely-launch-emgrand-ec7-uk/ |title=Geely Emgrand EC7 |publisher=chinacartimes.com |date=2011-12-15 |access-date=2012-05-27 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430152350/http://www.chinacartimes.com/2011/12/15/geely-launch-emgrand-ec7-uk/ |archive-date=2012-04-30 }} the first car designed and produced in China to do so.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}} Prices were estimated at £10,000 for the 1.5 model on launch.

In Iraq, the EC7 and the larger EC8 are assembled by the state-owned company SCAI.

In Iran, the EC7 and EC7-RV are sold by Geelran Company, Geely Auto's official selling agent in Iran.

The EC7 was launched in Namibia in 2013 at the same time as in South Africa.{{Cite web|url=http://www.wheels24.co.za/NewModels/LatestLaunches/Emgrand-Its-Geely-all-grown-up-20130510|title=Emgrand: Geely, all growed-up}}

The Emgrand EC7 was made by Derways under CKD on May 23, 2012. Derways recalled EC7s made from May 23, 2014 to November 21, 2014 due to problems with brake hoses.

The EC7 was officially launched in South Africa in 2013,{{Cite web|url=http://www.cars.co.za/motoring_news/geely_emgrand_ec7_launched_in_south_africa/1250/|title=Geely Emgrand EC7 launched in South Africa - Cars.co.za News|date=9 May 2013}} being sold at R149,000.{{Cite web|url=http://www.carmag.co.za/driving_impression/emgrand-ec7-18-luxury-first-impression/|title = Emgrand EC7|date = 13 March 2013}}

In Sri Lanka, the Emgrand EC7 is sold under the Micro brand, which is owned by Geely Auto.

The EC7 was sold as the Tobe M'way by Yulon in Taiwan from May 2012.{{cite web|url=https://news.u-car.com.tw/news/article/16054|title=國民房車現身，Tobe M'way 58.9萬元起上市|publisher=u-car.com.tw|date=2012-05-09|access-date=2021-05-15}}

The car was scheduled to be launched into the United Kingdom market in late 2012. Geely established Geely Auto UK, a jointly-held subsidiary of Manganese Bronze Holdings and LTI based in Coventry.{{cite web|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/geely-emgrand-ec7|title=Geely Emgrand EC7|publisher=Autocar|date=2011-12-16|access-date=2012-05-27}}

In partnership with Manganese Bronze, Geely set up a 40-strong dealer organisation. Small family-style garages were chosen to sell the cars, being described as "the sort of garages that used to sell Škodas before the company was owned by Volkswagen, and the type of establishment that once might have sold Rovers."{{cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/motoring/car-reviews/chinese-driveaway---the-new-geely-96930|title=Chinese driveaway - the new Geely Emgrand EC7|publisher=Daily Mirror|date=2011-12-16|access-date=2012-05-27}}

The second generation Geely Emgrand was shown to the public in the 2014 Beijing Auto Show carrying the new Geely Earth emblem.{{Cite web|url=https://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201407/825239.html|title=7月26日上市 吉利新帝豪EC7更名新帝豪|language=zh}} The replacement of the emblem marked the end of the Emgrand premium brand for Geely.
