The Geely LC, sold in its home market as the Geely Panda[10] or the Gleagle Panda, is a city car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Geely from November 2008 to 2016. In 2010 the LC scored 45.3 in C-NCAP crash tests,[2] making it China's first[2] locally researched and developed compact car to be awarded a 5-star rating,[11] and it is subsequently the safest Chinese hatchback[2] as of 2011.[12] The LC was able to achieve the above despite a development process that relied more on computer simulations than actual crash tests.[9] In 2017, The Panda was replaced by a facelifted version of the car known as the Geely Yuanjing X1.
