Geely's Geometry C Debuts In China As High-Riding Nissan Leaf Rival

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 (174.5 in) in length, 1,833 mm (72.1 in) in width and 1,560 mm (61.4 in) in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm (106.3 in).

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 / 197 HP) and 310 Nm (228 lb-ft) of torque. The powertrain enables the electric crossover to reach an electronically-limited top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).

Customers will be able to choose between two battery packs enabling the Geometry C to cover 400 km (248 miles) or 550 km (342 miles) 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.
