The new Guangzhou Auto GE3 electric crossover-SUV has been debuted on the Detroit Auto
Show this year. It is the first car to be based on Guangzhou Auto’s new electric-vehicle
platform. It launched on the Chinese car market in March.
Design is very nice, very compact, with a lot of
blue detailing showing off its green credentials. Blue is the color of green in
China. The GE3 is powered by an electric motor with 163 Hp and 290 Nm, range is
310 kilometers and 0-100 is gone in 9.3 seconds. It also has a regenerative
braking system. Dimension size is 4337/1825/1655 mm, and wheelbase is 2560 mm.
The interior is a bit on the dark side for an EV.
Most new Chinese EVs that we see come with very light interiors with a lot of
white and beige. Guangzhou Auto goes for black and dark gray, with again some
blue detailing.
It has a 10.1 inch main touch screen with another
screen on top. The latter communicates with the passengers, telling them basic
information like date and time and temperature. The infotainment system is called In-Joy and it
features Baidu CarLife.
Rear end is nice, shark-fin D-pillar is trendy.
Lights a little large. This car is mean and
green, with some blue, and a two-tone white and black paint job.
