On May 26th, the Geely Geometry E officially launched pre-sales, with prices ranging from 87,800 to 104,800 yuan. Currently, the Geometry official app and local dealers have opened pre-order channels.
This time, three versions of the car models were announced:
- Naughty Tiger, priced at 87,800 yuan with a range of 320 kilometers;
- Smart Tiger, priced at 98,800 yuan with a range of 401 kilometers;
- Thunder Tiger, priced at 104,800 yuan with a range of 401 kilometers.
The Geometry E has a body size of 4,006 × 1,765 × 1,550 mm and a wheelbase of 2,485 mm. It is positioned as a compact SUV. The tire size is 205/60 R16.
In terms of lighting, the entire car uses LED light sources, and the daytime driving lights on the front of the car adopt a very “mainstream” penetrating design. The styling reminds me of XPeng’s G3i. There is also a high-mounted brake light at the rear. For the body colors, four colors were released, including Qingman, Moli, Bohua, and Bluelian.
Get inside the car. The intelligent cabin is equipped with dual 10.25-inch screens. The car’s system is jointly developed by Geometry and Beidou, and is built-in with Gaode Map 5.0 and iFlytek’s voice recognition technology.
In terms of configuration, it uses antibacterial steering wheel and acrylic air outlet, the air conditioner with CN95-level filter.
The whole car has up to 6 speakers and is equipped with front 2 and rear 1 USB charging ports. In addition, there are also functions such as the car’s own driving recorder and real-time four-wheel tire pressure display.
In terms of trunk space, Geometry E’s trunk capacity can reach up to 295L which can accommodate four pieces of luggage.
In terms of power, the peak power is 60 kW, and the motor comes from Graype Intelligent Power Technology, with a peak torque of 130 N·m. The vehicle’s maximum speed is 121 km/h. Graype Intelligent Power Technology is a joint venture company established by Geely, GAC Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Ningbo Port. The company produces electric and hybrid drive systems.
In terms of batteries, it adopts Ningde Times phosphate iron lithium battery pack. The two battery capacity versions are 33.5 kWh and 39.4 kWh, respectively, corresponding to a range of 320 km and 401 km.
Although the power and battery data are not eye-catching in the entire electric vehicle market, we can compare them with the same level of small pure electric SUV models.
- NIO V, priced at 74,900 to 93,900 yuan, peak power 40-70 kW, battery 31.18-38.54 kWh, maximum range 401 km.
- BYD Yuan Pro, priced at 92,800 to 112,800 yuan, peak power 100 kW, battery capacity 38.9-50.1 kWh, maximum range 401 km.
It can be seen that the Geometry E’s power and range are at a relatively average level compared to its peers, which is definitely enough for daily commuting.
In terms of assisted driving, it is equipped with a single front camera that can recognize distances up to 150m and angles up to 100 degrees and vertically up to 33.6 degrees. The official claims that it supports basic L2 level assisted driving and right single-zone blind-zone monitoring, which can display the right-side blind zone on the center console screen. It is regrettable that it is not equipped with Lane Centering Control (LCC) but only has a more basic lane departure warning function.
Finally, let’s take a look at the pre-sale rights. The specific policies are as follows, including a deposit of 2,000 yuan that can be offset against a purchase price of 5,000 yuan, free charging electricity, a home charger (excluding installation), 3 years of free data plans, and an additional 888 yuan can enjoy a car service worth 6,888 yuan.
So, which small pure electric SUV do you think is the best choice among Geometry E, NETA V and BYD Yuan Pro? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
