As of 22 December 2010,[13] popular Chinese e-commerce retailer Taobao Mall sells the LC online[14] although buyers must put down a 288 yuan deposit and visit a local dealership for a test drive prior to purchase.

[23] A rebadged, redesigned LC called the Tobe M’Car is sold in Taiwan by Yulon Motors,[24] which may also assemble it.

[28] The Yulu (裕路) EV2 is an electric micro car based on the rebadged and restyled body of the Geely LC.

The Yulu EV2 is closely related to the Tobe-M'car and was produced by Dongfeng Yulon exclusively for the Mainland China market.
