Geely revealed official photos of the Geome Xingyuan funky electric hatchback. It is the latest addition to the brandβs Geome line. The 4.1-meter electric car with up to 114 hp and a 410 km range will enter China this year to rival the BYD Dolphin.
Geome was previously known as Geometry. It was initially an independent brand under the Geely Group. However, disappointing sales volume resulted in turning the Geometry brand into the Geome series under the Geely brand. Nowadays, its model line comprises six cars: Panda Mini, Panda Knight, G6, M6, E, and A. Soon, the Xingyuan hatchback will become the latest addition to the Geome line.
Geely Geome Xingyuan official images
Geely released official images of the Geome Xingyuan EV on September 2. It follows the new design language first adopted by the Geome model. It has a roundish styling with a sleek body, raindrop-shaped headlights, flush door handles, and a blackened roof. The rear end of the Xingyuan has the βGeomeβ inscription, a spoiler, and oval taillights.
Other features of the Geome Xingyuan exterior styling are flush door handles and fuzzy four-spoke rims. It has plastic trim all over the lower part of the body. Its overall styling looks like a mix of Wuling Bingo (see specs) and Smart #1 (see specs). So, the Xingyuan looks ordinary for its class. However, its design is still eye-catching with black-beige body shade.
Inside, the Geome Xingyuan makes a loud statement it is a city car. It has an illuminated city view pattern on the center console and door cards. Another feature of the Xingyuan is a two-spoke D-shaped steering wheel, a small LCD instrument cluster, and a sizeable suspended main screen. Its center tunnel has two wireless charging pads, a small gear shifter, two cup holders, and a small storage compartment.
Geely officially shared that Xingyuan adopts the Flyme Auto OS from the Meizu phone maker. Its controlling stake was acquired by Geely in 2022. The main features of the Flyme Auto OS are a high integration with Meizu phones, wide customization options, games support, and a built-in AI assistant.
