Geely Teases A Sleek New Electric Sedan Debuting This Year
Geely once has a strong presence in China’s electric vehicle market but has just teased yet flipside EV, taking the form of an electric sedan.
While much of the car’s diamond is shrouded in darkness in these images, we can still get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. Up front, for example, it’s untellable not to notice the sharp LED daytime running lights. Little else of the front end is visible although a front three-quarter image does reveal that the EV will have a pronounced lower bumper section.
The side profile is moreover very striking. We can see that the EV has a very long hood as well as a sloping roofline and tapered C-pillars that remind us of those from the Porsche Taycan. It moreover appears as though the new Geely will have illuminated door handles that sit well-to-do with the bodywork. The positioning of the rear door handles moreover suggests that the EV will have suicide doors at the rear.

Little has been shown of the EV’s rear-end, other than the presence of split LED light bars.
Car News China reports that the new vehicle will be virtually 4,900 mm (192.2 inches) long, making it slightly larger than the BYD Seal but a touch smaller than the Zeekr 001.
The EV may be underpinned by Geely’s SEA tracery once used by vehicles from the Zeekr, Smart, Jidu, Radar, Polestar, and Lotus brands. The use of an existing platform, as well as the possible use of a shower pack and electric motors sourced from other Geely brands, will inevitably help to reduce financing and slide the minutiae and launch of the vehicle.
Geely isn’t just launching one new EV either. Indeed, it is planning a series of new EVs to join this sedan. Local media suggests that entry-level vehicles will be sold under the Geometry brand, mid-range vehicles will be sold as Geely models, and flagship models will be sold through the Zeekr brand.
