This is the production version of the Guangzhou Auto GE3, an electric crossover SUV for China. It debuted in semi-concept form on the
Detroit Auto Show in January. The production car debut on the Shanghai
Auto Show followed by a market launch in China in early H2.
There is one very notable difference between the
production car for China and the semi-concept in Detroit: the Trumpchi badge.
It was not on any of the cars in Detroit, likely because Guangzhou Auto was not
looking for a connection between their Chinese cars and the new president. But
in China the name stays on.
The GE3 will be powered by an electric motor with
177 hp. Top speed will be 156 km/h and range
somewhere around 300 kilometers. Dimension size is 4346/1825/1637 mm, and wheelbase is 2560 mm.
The GE3 stands on a new platform especially
developed for electric cars. It will also underpin an MPV and a sedan.
