F/F, 1342, 1498, 1587, 1794 cm³ (I4 DOHC).''' Inoffensive sedan range, badged MK in some export markets. Hatchback called MK2 for export. [[Toyota Vios (NCP42)]] platform. Sold to a price in export markets, with interior below par, though ride acceptable. Fairly spacious boot for four-door sedan. Upgraded to King Kong 2 with new grille featuring horizontal chrome bars in 2009, while, confusingly, basic King Kongs bore [[Englon]] logo from 2010, and complemented by [[Englon SC6]], a badge-engineered version of the King Kong 2 with a higher base price, but roughly the same pricing at the top of the range. With Englon phased out, the higher-end Englon Jinyings were brought back into the King Kong range in 2014, with the five-door dubbed Geely King Kong Cross.
