On November 14th, the new pure electric SUV from Geometry Auto – EX3 Kung Fu Bull was officially launched. The new car offers two models, “Strong Bull” and “Kung Fu Bull”, with a comprehensive range of 322 km under CLTC conditions and a post-subsidy price of RMB 58,800 to 68,800.
New Car Features
- 37 kWh battery pack that supports both liquid cooling and constant temperature functions.
- CLTC range of 322 km, 70 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor.
- 400 V high-voltage three-electric system with an 8-year/150,000 km warranty.
- The entire series is equipped with front dual airbags, front and rear anti-collision beams, and front and rear disc brakes.
- Users can receive a free charging pile.
- The interior has average quality materials, and the price is relatively affordable.
The exterior lacks innovation, the interior has average materials. The space performance is excellent.
The overall appearance of the new car is almost identical to that of the Geely Vision X3 and lacks innovation. The high-end models of the new car have added two-tone body colors and some fluorescent green embellishments, among other features.
Apart from the fluorescent green decoration on the center console and the knob-style gear shift mechanism, the interior does not have any other eye-catching designs. Fortunately, the full series is equipped with a 7-inch instrument panel and an 8-inch central control screen, which can meet daily use.
In terms of configuration, both models have the same battery specifications of 37.23 kWh. The chassis is a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam. The high-end models have added features such as an electric sunroof, daytime running lights, cruise control, automatic headlights, and a reversing image.
The size of the EX3 body enjoys an advantage in the same level. Length, width, and height are 4005/1760/1575 mm, and the 2480mm wheelbase can ensure that the rear seats of the EX3 can be properly used. The 400-900 L trunk space is at an excellent level in the same level.
The new car supports fast charging
The EX3 supports a maximum charging speed of 70 kW and can be charged from 30% to 80% in half an hour, with a range increase of more than 150 km, making it suitable for short- to medium-distance intercity travel.
High Motor Power
The EX3’s electric motor has a maximum power of 70 kW and a maximum torque of 180 N·m, making it outstanding among its peers.
Final Thoughts
Since the success of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, more and more car companies have entered the small electric vehicle market. However, due to mindless imitation of the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV and car companies’ pursuit of cost reduction and profit increase, the models in this market are somewhat deformed. Addressing common pain points in these models such as safety, space, and power performance, the Geely EX3 has presented a fairly satisfactory answer. However, its appearance lacks design sense and the interior material quality is coarser compared to “boutique” small cars such as the SERES T03. Overall, the price range of 58,800 to 68,800 yuan is quite competitive.
