Geely has released first images of the car that it teased last month, the Geely GE11. The three images you see here appeared on Facebook with the caption “new car, new energy, new logo, new paradigm.” Previously, Geely said that the GE11 will be unveiled in early 2019.
No full info yet, but what we know is that the GE11 is a new battery powered EV, the first for Geely since the launch of the Emgrand EV in 2015. The sedan is a “globally developed product” and will spearhead the Chinese carmaker’s efforts in entering overseas markets.
The GE11’s face uses a “closed frontal design language” with the headlights designed around the concept of ‘Yi’, the Chinese word for one. This allows the eyes of the car to reach across the front and up into the front arches. The lack of a grille is of course not a technical issue here, as the GE11 doesn’t have an internal combustion engine under the hood. The charging flap is on the right front wing, above the wheel.
Speaking of the hood, the strong pronounced hoodline also improves the drag coefficient performance of the four-door body to just 0.2375 Cd. Another move to smoothen the body is the integration of the door handles into the bodywork. The handles sit flush and will only appear when the driver is within a certain range.
No rear shot, but we’ve previously seen leaked images of the GE11’s back end and its cockpit. The rear design is very clean, while the cabin features a very high centre console and a huge centre screen.
The “new logo” does away with the black, blue and gold tones on Geely’s regular emblem seen on its ICE-powered cars, and could be reserved for the company’s EV range.
Chinese news reports mention a 177 PS (130 kW) electric motor and a top speed of 150 km/h for the sedan, which measures 4,736 mm long and 1,804 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. Want this as Proton’s first EV?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
GE11, best ever. Total winrar
Finally Gely and China has done it. Thank you geely and China.
The whole world is moving towards EV and Hybrid. Infact by 2035, only 16 years time, the whole of Europe will be fully EV and no more petrol cars.
But in Malaysia, our Proton still don’t have EV or even 14 year old Hybrid technology also
I don’t know what Proton engineers and designers do in office. Somemore Tesla has said all EV blueprints and knowhow to make a EV car is FREE for anyone car maker who wants to make EV
Finally Geely and China is saving Proton. Thank you Li Chunrong!
GE11, best ever. Total winrar. It will be the real game changing replacement for Prevé, habisla Proton!
I hope it comes to Malaysia. Proton showcased their Iriz EV 6 years ago. Then they asked Government more billions to do more EV research.
Government gave the money.
Until today, I waiting for Iriz EV
Looks like Geely is wiping out all our Proton cars if they don’t launch our Iriz EV and launch this car in Malaysia
30 years of automotive hardwork gone down the drain. Now we are just distributor of Geely cars in Malaysia ie rebadger
Hopefully the battery won’t cost Rm120k to replace.
Why should be take an outsider EV? Why can’t we use our own technology to build EV?
See even Dyson, Vacuum cleaner company now building their own EV in Singapore.
Proton is a car company and not a vacuum company
Hasil titik peluh Geely! Terimakasih Geely. Rakyat Malaysia beli, Geely China jadi lagi kaya raya!
The real game changer. Habisla Civic
This the Preve replacement all been waiting. Win
So now what? Msian wants fully china car by p1?
MY pipu dun complain about using Lenovo or Huawei or Vivo or Oppo phones, they dun even care when they furnish their modded house with China electrical fittings and appliances. Do u think they care if the car is from China?
Price this below 100k here, will be selling like pisang goreng especially for those living in cities.
Geely was born in 1997. Proton was born in 1985. This means Proton is 12 years older than Geely.
And yet, Geely can come out with a EV car first. I don’t understand how. Shouldn’t the older company have more knowledge and experience?
Where is our Proton Iriz EV? Already billions spent on research for it.
Proton, can you pls update us on it.
Can price blow Rm100k but will Malaysian dare to buy EV when battery cost a fortune
Mercedes Bluetec Hybrid E300 RM122k
Audi A6 Hybrid RM85k
BMW 530E Rm110k
BMW X5 40e RM140k
Malaysia belum ada infrastruktur EV lagi sebab 60 tahun ada kerajaan yang lembap
(60-22) + 0.8
No way people will buy this shitty nonsense!
Really not bad if this is to replace the Persona.
Persona dan Saga boleh masuk muzeum. Hasil titik peluh Proton hilang sekelip mata
Or perdana
With a wheelbase of 2,700 mm? This is more like Preve or Inspira replacement. I suggest call it P1 winrar.
And then pay above rm100k for its battery replacement.
Car manufacturers should be transparent on the complete cost of replacing hybrid or phev car battery. If not, it would be almost suicidal decision to own a hybrid or phev car.
I strongly support the hybrid or phev in Malaysia, but the guidelines to sell it here must be clear. This include explaining to the would be buyer the total cost of ownership of that car for the period of at least 9 years. (since a car loan can go up to 9 years here)
Oh yes i want that here. I can commute to work for free…i am talking zero cost here as there is a foc charging area.
Geely will give it’s DNA to Proton if X70 selling well. After GE11 being intro and sell well. Geely will intro more models for Proton. Geely is testing market in Malaysia using X70 (CBU) first. If result show good opportunity will be CKD soon.
Waiting for GE14 !!
Best model ever + exclusive for msian mkt only.
There is an idiot blocking the car.
Also if below RM50k might sell in Bolehland…
So ugly ….lousy
China product….caveat emptor
Audi A4 look-alike from behind.
Protiga beaten to the punch by ProGeely
Top speed of 150 kmh enough for highway here.
y both model pose like zombies? :P
Far better than john’s Proton Saga
Doesn’t look proportionate at all. Push lah the wheels ke corners, aiyo. We know Geely is the best mah, one day I hope to see only geely-rebadged models sold here. no need for old stuff being produced by boateng boys.
I’m so not a fan of the design.
Wow wee, the Chinese are improving by leaps and bounce. Beat this
Hopefully the integrated door handles are done correctly. Tesla’s version is a disaster
The new Proton Preve?
Hope this will come to Malaysia before GE15.
Something that China manufacturers seriously lack – imagination and innovation. IMO it looks like an old car design (like a Kia perhaps?) recycled but with an electric drive train. Come on! Any other manufacturer can do much better than this uninspired design.
Proton bring this here!… For sure sells like hot banana fritters!..
