Last year, Geely launched its new
‘Geometry’ electric car brand in China with the Geometry A sedan. Now it’s time
to take a look at the marque’s second product, the Geometry C crossover. You
may be tempted to believe this is an all-new product just like the Geometry A
but that’s not really the case.
Per Chinese reports, the Geometry C is
based on the petrol-powered Geely Emgrand GS, though it features a totally new
front and rear design to match the looks of the Geometry A. It also sports a
new C-pillar treatment resulting in a ‘floating roof’ design, and pop-out door
handles.
The compact crossover measures 4,432 mm in length, 1,833 mm in width and 1,560 mm in
height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. That makes it about the same
size as the Nissan Leaf, which is one of its main competitors. The Geometry C
is powered by a single electric motor, good for 147 kW (200 PS) and
310 Nm of torque. The powertrain enables the electric crossover to
reach an electronically-limited top speed of 150 km/h.
Customers will be able to choose between
two battery packs enabling the Geometry C to cover 400 km or 550 km on a full charge as per NEDC. It’s reasonable to presume the
battery packs are the same ones offered on the Geometry A sedan: 51.9 kWh and
61.9 kWh, respectively.
Geely Auto will launch the Geometry C on
the Chinese car market in July.
