On November 7th, Geometry officially announced that its compact car, Geometry G6, and compact SUV, Geometry M6, are now available for sale. Both new vehicles come in 4 configurations and are priced between RMB 149,800 and 186,800. It is worth mentioning that Geometry G6 and Geometry M6 are basically the same as the currently available Geometry A and Geometry C, but with the addition of the Huawei HarmonyOS operating system, bringing a better user experience.
In terms of exterior design, both new vehicles adopt the latest family design. Geometry G6 and Geometry M6 have added two eight-character-shaped decorative strips on the basis of the front face of Geometry A and Geometry C, equipped with a through-type light strip and a luminous Geometry logo, adding a certain sense of fashion to the new car.
The difference between the two is that Geometry G6 uses a mesh grille at the bottom without a radar installed in the middle; while Geometry M6 adopts a horizontal grille with a millimeter-wave radar in the middle.
At the side of the car, both Geometry G6 and Geometry M6 offer two-tone body paint, in addition to higher window lines and floating roof designs, which also help the vehicles to enhance their visual agility. As for the hidden door handles and low-resistance wheel design, they are the usual operation for this type of vehicle.
Finally, there are noticeable differences in the design at the rear of the two vehicles. Geometry G6 only simulates the through-type tail light design, as the middle section of the taillights is only connected by a red decorative strip without emitting light, and the English logo of Geometry Automotive is placed on the middle strip. On the other hand, Geometry M6 truly applies a through-type tail light strip, and the tail lights on both sides have also added transparent and smoky black treatments, making the tail lights of the G6 look a bit more upscale.
In terms of dimensions, Geometry G6 has a length, width, and height of 4752/1804/1503mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm, positioning it as a compact pure electric car. Geometry M6 has a length, width, and height of 4432/1833/1560mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm, positioning it as a compact pure electric SUV. The dimensions of the two are exactly the same as Geometry A and Geometry C, which also means that the latter two will sooner or later exit the stage of Geometry Automotive’s history.
The most significant improvement of the new cars takes place inside. First of all, both models come with brand new interior designs, featuring a simple overall style and a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central control screen. In terms of appearance, they keep up with the mainstream trend, but frankly speaking, they lose the surprise element of the original Geely Geometry A interior design. However, what matters most is that both new cars are equipped with the brand new Huawei HarmonyOS system. Because the car unit is customized, the overall UI system is more in line with the overall image of the car model.
As a result, Geely G6 and Geely M6 become the first mass-produced models of Geely Group to cooperate with Huawei, and the only pure electric products with a price of less than 200,000 yuan that are equipped with HarmonyOS system on the market. Obviously, this is also one of the main selling points of both models.
In terms of power, both cars are equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 310N·m, and are equipped with two different specifications of ternary lithium battery packs: 52kWh and 70kWh. Depending on the battery pack capacity, Geely G6 can provide two different versions of endurance: 480km and 620km, while Geely M6 will provide two different versions of endurance: 450km and 580km.
First of all, it must be acknowledged that with the addition of the Harmony OS system, the previous weakness of the Geely series in terms of intelligent cockpit has been somewhat improved, which is a win-win situation for both Huawei and Geely. However, on the other hand, the biggest challenge for Geely at present is how to make consumers turn back and choose Geely’s car models.
