Having already been shown in leaked photos
earlier this year, the Geometry C appears set for an official reveal soon, as
these teaser sketches hint. The second model from Geely’s electric vehicle
sub-brand was due to be shown at Auto China in Beijing this month, but the
coronavirus pandemic put paid to that.
The Geometry C
will take the form of a C-segment hatchback with some black body cladding for a
more crossover-like look, although the sketches suggest a far taller ride
height than on the actual car. The car sports numerous design cues from the
Geometry A sedan, such as the slim LED headlights with “tails”, the lack of an
upper grille and an upswept window line.
However, the front fascia is a little bit
sportier, with a downturned centre air intake flanked by two vertical inlets
(there’s no more concentric ring design). The shoulder line also sweeps
downwards towards the rear wheels, contrasting with the separate character line
lower down. The D-pillars has been blacked out, as well, giving the car the
all-important “floating roof” look.
Moving to the rear of the car, the
Geometry C features another in-vogue styling cue – full-width tail lights. One
can also spot the nicely integrated tailgate spoiler and a large diffuser-like
bumper insert holding the rear fog light. Inside, expect the hatch to mirror
the sedan closely, which should mean a massive 12.3-inch freestanding centre
display, a small instrument screen and a tall floating centre console.
The Geometry C should also inherit the A’s
electric powertrain, consisting of a single front-mounted permanent synchronous
magnet motor developing 161 hp and 250 Nm of torque. All this is
enough to propel the sedan to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds, while a ternary lithium
battery in 51.9 kWh and 61.9 kWh variants provides the A with a range of either
410 km or 500 km on the NEDC cycle. As the hatch looks to be of a similar size,
the figures shouldn’t deviate too much.
