Thanks for the invitation from Garage 42, I had the opportunity to test drive the Geometry A Pro, and I took away a blue car with a black roof. The appearance of the car is eye-catching and beautiful. As a pure electric sedan priced at over 100,000 RMB, the Geometry A Pro is more competitive with a lower price, longer endurance, and stronger power compared to the Geometry A.
The appearance of the car is very trendy, with sleek lines and a coupe design which is more in line with young people’s preferences.
The blue color under the sunlight is soft and seems to have a touch of Morandi feeling, without being too exaggerated, which reflects the quality of being low-key. The hidden door handles make the car body more harmonious and there are hardly any distracting elements. The door handles will automatically pop up when the key is near.
Upon closer observation, the streamlined body is still attractive. The wheel hub is also well-designed with a relatively enclosed shape that reduces wind resistance.
The design at this angle is great, with the rear window extending to the tail of the car, and the contrasting color of the roof, which makes the overall shape very smooth.
The length, width, and height of the car are 4752mm * 1804mm * 1503mm, which is suitable for daily commuting and belongs to the category of pure electric compact sedans.
The front of the car is low-key. The two front headlights are quite good-looking and have a slanted, attractive look. LED light sources are used, equipped with automatic headlights and flowing turn signals. The light strip can also indicate the charging status of the vehicle while charging.
The front of the car may resemble a Porsche, but there is no special feature of the appearance. However, as a whole, it is still harmonious.
The passenger space is average. As an SUV driver, I found the driver’s seat a bit cramped, but it should be suitable for smaller women.
However, from the outside, it looks relatively normal.
The interior space still has a certain degree of design sense.
The steering wheel is very small and much lighter than the large steering wheel I am used to. It feels like a toy racing car and is suitable for girls. For boys, it may seem a bit petty.
The grip feel is also very good, and it is flat-bottomed. It reminds me of the popular design of game controllers with a flat top and bottom.
Taking a closer look, the material used is said to be antibacterial super-fiber leather.
This slot is for wireless charging. However, my phone is a little big and it seems to be a tight squeeze.
My car has a head-up display (HUB). Only the driver can see it, which displays the driving speed and some related information.
This is the HUB device installed in front of the driver’s seat.
Although the power performance of this car is not eye-catching on paper, it is an electric car after all. The acceleration and braking performance are very good in actual driving, which is probably the benefit of electric cars.
The instrument screen is located in the middle and slightly above the steering wheel, and it is smaller than a phone but larger than a Pad. There is still a lot of information displayed on it.Translated English Markdown text, with HTML tags preserved:
Displays information such as battery level, remaining driving range, current mileage, accumulated mileage, speed, tire pressure, and temperature.
The central control screen is a long screen that displays information such as FM/music, vehicle status, map, and the member center (since the test drive car cannot be given a GKUI ID, the member center details cannot be viewed, and the car control function cannot be experienced).
Also, it has many features like navigation, multimedia, phone, smart life, theme, schedule, voice assistant, magic book, app market, album, my car, 360 panorama, car manager, and driving records.
The interior air conditioning of the car. It is said that the car is equipped with a vehicle-grade CN95 protection, PM2.5 air filtration, and ION air purification. If it is really so powerful, it is a good selling point for people with a clean freak.
This Honeycomb area can be clicked twice to switch to different modes, such as S mode for sport, ECO+ for energy saving, and regenerative braking. Gear switching is done by rotating the knob to switch between R, N, and D.
However, there are two problems with this area. First, it is difficult to see under strong light, and second, double-clicking is a counter-intuitive operation compared to physical buttons.
However, the acceleration performance of the SPORT mode is worth mentioning, as it is very clean and efficient. Acceleration is very smooth, and releasing the accelerator pedal results in immediate braking. It took me a while to get used to it.
Regenerative braking has three modes: low, medium, and high, which are similar to that of most electric cars.
The buttons behind it are for on/off, parking mode, and automatic parking.
There is plenty of space for two keys and two phones in this car.
The interior is relatively simple, with a soft and light cloth material instead of leather, and the space below can hold 2-3 water bottles.
The rear space is decent, with three standard seats that, although slightly crowded, are sufficient for passengers.
The panoramic sunroof cannot be opened.
The car’s interior design has a certain sense of technology, and the horizontal lines on the center console make the overall visual impression very harmonious.
Finally, let’s take a look at the appearance.
As an entry-level pure electric car with a price of over 100,000 RMB and a range of up to 600km, the geometry A Pro plays the safety card. In fact, its cost-effectiveness is also very high. When it comes to electric vehicles, the horizontal PK battle is nothing more than two factions: Tesla, NIO, XPeng, Ideal and traditional automakers such as Volkswagen, Audi, Geely, and BYD. When consumers make their choices, they will certainly prefer electric cars with high range, good performance, good appearance, and cost-effectiveness. Although the promotion of Geometry A Pro may not be as strong as some of its competitors, its cost-effectiveness and appearance are definitely comparable. We look forward to seeing the performance of this car in the future and thank you for the opportunity to experience it.
