Geely Group has recently established a new car brand named Geometry, which unveiled an extremely compact SUV with an adventurous design called "Panda Knight" or "Knight of the Panda." The mini electric vehicle segment has gained immense popularity, especially in the Chinese market.
The vehicle features a rugged exterior design, reminiscent of traditional off-road SUVs like the Ford Bronco. The new Panda Knight is equipped with round LED headlights, off-road-ready bumpers, and wide fenders.
Key Specifications of the Mini Vehicle
The car is fitted with small wheels, maintaining a ground clearance similar to that of sedans, along with sculpted and muscular fenders. Notably, the Geometry brand offers another model named "Panda" with internal combustion engines and a quieter, less aggressive design compared to this electric version.
The interior accommodates four passengers, featuring a spacious trunk of up to 800 liters when the rear seats are folded down. Interior specifications include an 8-inch touchscreen and a 9.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
Engine and Performance Specifications
The new Panda Knight is powered by a compact electric motor delivering 41 horsepower and 110 Newton-meters of torque. Although these figures might seem low, they are competitive within its category, where power typically ranges from 20 to 30 horsepower. The Geely vehicle boasts a practical electric range of 200 kilometers per charge.
Geely plans to launch this new mini vehicle in the Chinese market starting September 2022, with prices beginning at around $6,000, equivalent to approximately 22,000 riyals. It will compete with models like the Wuling Hongguang, produced by General Motors in collaboration with local partners, which has achieved remarkable success in the Chinese market and held the title of the world's best-selling electric vehicle for an extended period.
