Geely Geometry Xingyuan launched in China – up to 116 PS, 410 km CLTC EV range; priced from RM42k

Following its debut in September this year, Geely has now officially launched the Geome (formerly Geometry) Xingyuan in China. The compact electric hatchback will take on the BYD Dolphin and has been speculated to be part of Proton’s eMas (stylised as e.MAS) new energy vehicle line-up as the eMas 5.

Pricing for the Xingyuan starts at 69,800 yuan (about RM42k) and goes all the way up to 98,800 yuan (RM60k). Two powertrains are offered, both with a CATL-sourced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that takes 21 minutes to get from a 30-80% state of charge, along with a rear electric motor.

The lesser option gets a 30.12-kWh battery that is good for a range of 310 km following China’s generous CLTC standard, paired with a motor rated at 79 PS (78 hp or 58 kW) and 130 Nm of torque. The second powertrain boasts a larger 40.16-kWh battery for 410 km of range as well as higher outputs of 116 PS (114 hp or 85 kW) and 150 Nm.

In terms of dimensions, the Xingyuan measures 4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide, 1,570 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 2,650 mm. That makes it larger than the Dolphin sold in China, although when compared to the international version of the BYD electric vehicle (EV), which we get here, the Xingyuan is actually smaller.

Depending on the chosen variant, of which there are five available, available equipment include 16-inch wheels, halogen or LED headlamps, LED taillights, a 10.1- or 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, 256-colour ambient lighting, four or six speakers, an external power supply capable of 3.3 kW, manual or powered front seats, an 8.8-inch instrument cluster display, a 50W air-cooled wireless charger and automatic air-conditioning (with rear vents).

The Xingyuan can also be had with active safety features like autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, automatic high beam and front vehicle departure alert. These are offered as a “limited time gift” as per what’s mentioned on the official website, which means they are likely to be a cost option after the launch promotion ends.

Based on these specifications and equipment, does the Xingyuan intrigue you? On a recent Proton eMas dealers’ visit to Hangzhou, China, the visiting group were shown the Xingyuan, which suggests a local introduction is in the works. This has yet to be confirmed by Proton New Energy Technology (Pro-Net), the custodians of the eMas brand, so we’ll have to wait and see.

    imagine proton selling this same car, at the same price starting at RM42K. It will effectively sell off the roof.

  • The only way Perodua can be beaten is this. CKD it and sell it around RM60K. And all these Chinese cars are not small by any standard as width is around C segment cars and wheelbase closer to C segment rather than B.

    Perodua might struggle to produce a good EV. The bottleneck lies in EV software development—even Volkswagen has failed to deliver quality EV software.
