Geely GE11 electric sedan – more photos and details

Last week, Geely revealed the first official photos of its new all-electric sedan, codenamed GE11, and with the car’s preview showing at the Himalaya Museum in Shanghai come more photos and details of the car – including the first images of the interior.

The company claims that the GE11 has been styled to highlight its status as a zero-emissions vehicle, based around a new concept for full-electric vehicles that is “multi-dimensional, fluid and alive” – despite the car still wearing the brand’s “expanding cosmos” design identity. Without a conventional grille, the concentric ring design has now spread across the entire front fascia, a cue lifted from the Concept Icon.

The slim headlights are said to expand laterally like “blades of light,” with tails that reach around the sides of the car. Here, instead of the pronounced front fenders of other Geely models, there’s just a straight upper shoulder line, with another line rising up from the rear fenders. There’s also a panoramic roof that continues the sweep of the front windscreen, as well as flush door handles that pop out when the user approaches.

While Geely has yet to reveal the entire rear end (we’ve seen an image from Chinese site Autohome), the C-shaped tail lights are clean and crisp, linked by a strip that goes around the rear end. Flush five-spoke alloy wheels contribute to a low drag coefficient of just 0.24.

The simplicity is taken to an even greater extreme on the inside, with a layered dashboard and a striking asymmetrical centre console. The usual displays have been resized for a unique driving experience, so the centre screen measures a massive 12.3 inches, while the instrument cluster has been reduced to a small floating screen. Touch controls replace most physical buttons, and a storage compartment with wireless smartphone charging resides within the double-layer armrest.

Geely says that the GE11 meets Europe’s OEKO-TEX Standard 100 environmental protection standard, making it safe even for newborn babies. The eco-friendly fabrics, which are waterproof, antifouling and breathable, are claimed to prevent the seats from rapidly diverging from the ambient temperature while also being soft to the touch and comfortable to sit on.

Official technical specifications have yet to be released, but it’s been reported that the GE11 will be powered by a 130 kW (177 PS) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, providing a top speed of 150 km/h. The car will be the first model of the new Geely New Energy brand, represented by a sleeker silver logo and initially launching in first- and second-tier cities in China.

      Geely started in 1997. Proton started in 1985. Proton is 12 years older than Geely.

      So, how come Geely is launching an EV car? Proton, Hybrid also, which is a 14 year old technology also don’t have

          China work hard. Proton workers just goyang kaki.

          This is why Geely can untung USD30 billion (RM130 billion)

    No need lah if to repair unavoidable fault and flaw of new technology of the car will be headache. I don’t care about dinosaur or ancient tech. No need to think on how we can spend $$$ monthly instalment, just buy durable, affordable and headache-free car- it is Perodua. Full stop.

      Then why are you using keyboard to post this nonsense? Why didn’t you use pen & paper to write a comment letter then mail it to PaulTan.org? After all, keyboards are prone to fail unlike a pen, it is not as affordable as paper, and using technology will give you headaches unlike posting your letter by mail.
