Styling edit
The Geely MK subcompact sedan was criticized for resembling the first generation Toyota Vios especially from the side as the DLO is essentially the same as the Toyota subcompact sedan. Despite the redesigned front and rear and also having a hatchback version, it doesn't hide the fact that during the development of the Geely MK sedan, reverse engineering was involved using the Toyota Vios. The MK also resembles a Opel Astra H from the front and rear.
2016 facelift edit
The last facelift was conducted in late 2015 for the 2016 model year, changing the front and rear views and clarifying the updated model name and branding simply as the Geely Jingang under the Geely brand. [3]
