A year ago, Chinese carmaker Geely founded a new dedicated EV sub-brand called Geometry. Its first release was a sedan called Geometry A / GE11 (see video). Today, all-new Geometry C / GE13 debuts in a hatchback body.
Based on the pics uploaded to the Chinese Patent Bureau (the white ones), the car shares many of its stylistic features with the Geely GSe and will therefore likely replace it on the market when it ships.
The test mule is currently running tests in Inner Mongolia, where the engineering team tries to see how well it performs in extreme cold conditions (-30ºC, or -22ºF).
From the technical point of view, the C comes based on the same GE 2.0 chassis as the A, but it boasts a significant power improvement over its predecessor. While the GE11 only has 163 hp (122 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal, the GE13 has 204 hp (152 kW) and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft).
The hatchback is 4,432 mm (14.54 ft.) long, 1,833 mm (6.01 ft.) wide and 1,560 mm (5.12 ft.) tall, and boasts 2,700 mm (8.86 ft.) of inter-axle spacing. Its NEDC-rated driving range is roughly the same as that of the GE11 and varies from 400 to 520 km (248 – 323 miles). In all likelihood, the available batteries are also the same (51.9 kWh and 61.9 kWh).
Each headlight unit of the Geometry C comprises 80 LEDs, while the brake lights consist of 216 LEDs with the interconnecting strip included. As far as the tech options are concerned, the list will probably include 5G and advanced self-driving features.
