The later cars, and be strict about it. The Emgrand 7 ran through the 2010s and was facelifted mid-decade, gaining a better cabin, revised suspension tuning and quieter running; production wound down once the newer Emgrand arrived.
Better than its class — about 59% of its value after five years, against roughly 51% for sedans of the same age and price.
Budget for mechanical work before you agree a price. 38% of the Geely Emgrand 7s we inspect in Saudi Arabia show a fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 16% we would expect for sedans of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom, and 24% show an electrical fault against the 7% expected for that same class. Bodywork is the segment's story rather than this car's: 71% carry previous paint or panel repair, but the later Geely Emgrand runs at 77% and even a Toyota Corolla sits at 60%. That is a history, not a fault — judge the standard of the repair on the car in front of you.
The Toyota Corolla is the better car and the easier resale at about 64% after five years, so stretch to one if the money is there. The Changan Alsvin is the closer fight and cleaner on bodywork, at 44% against the 31% expected for cars of its age and mileage here. The Geely Emgrand is the same idea, updated.
