Geely Panda was discontinued with the 2016 model. Here is relevant information about the Geely Panda: 1. The Geely Panda, officially launched in November 2008, is a safety-focused compact car and also the first model under the Geely Gleagle brand. 2. The vehicle features a very rounded design, with headlights surrounded by black edges, resembling a panda's dark eye circles. The taillights cleverly incorporate a design inspired by a giant panda's footprint, consisting of one large and four small light clusters, forming the 'panda' taillight shape. 3. The Geely Panda ranks seventh in the 'World's Smallest Cars' list based on comprehensive standards including vehicle dimensions, engine performance, emission systems, and fuel consumption.

The Geely Panda was indeed discontinued in 2016, and now only second-hand or leftover models are available in the market. This car was very popular back then because its design resembled a panda, with round headlights that looked particularly cute. It was also quite fuel-efficient and affordable. However, newer micro electric vehicles like the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV or the Changan Lumin are more suitable for commuting than the Panda. If you like micro cars, you might also want to check out the more stylish electric vehicles from Great Wall's Ora brand. They are cheap to charge, have decent range, and are excellent for daily commutes.

As a long-time car enthusiast, I remember vividly that the Geely Panda gained quite some popularity after its launch in 2008 due to its unique design - the round headlights paired with the smiling grille gave it an adorable look. Unfortunately, production ceased in 2016 as the microcar market shrank back then, with consumer focus shifting more towards SUVs. If you're looking to buy one now, second-hand units are your only option, and I'd recommend prioritizing post-2014 models for fewer minor issues. By the way, although discontinued, spare parts remain accessible since it shares common components with other Geely models, so maintenance shouldn't be a major concern.

From a sales cycle perspective, the Panda microcar has indeed been discontinued for nearly a decade. The core reason is consumption upgrading, as people now prefer larger vehicles. However, if you're considering buying a used one, pay attention to these points: First, check the air conditioning and electronic components, as microcars tend to have higher electronic failure rates. Second, inspect the chassis for severe rust. Third, consider battery life, and it's advisable to prioritize vehicles within five years. I once drove a friend's old Panda—although small, it's incredibly convenient for parking, especially in narrow urban streets and alleys.
