In order to contain the BYD dolphins, Geely arranged the "low-end version" of the Mercedes-Benz elf
BYD relies on good design and ultra-low car costs to become the first choice for many young users to buy electric vehicles, which also allows BYD to make a lot of money. In order to compete with BYD, Geely has also begun to make efforts in this market segment.
On the date, in MIIT’s 385th batch of "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" publicity, the product information of Geely pure electric cars was announced for the first time.
The new car is positioned as a small hatchback pure electric car, with a body size of 4135 × 1805 × 1570mm and a wheelbase of 2650mm. In terms of design, the model focuses on a simple style, with rounded curved lines. The roof and body are designed in two colors, and the D-pillar part of the rear is also divided by a black trim, which is similar to the design of another brand Smart under Geely. Many netizens’ first reaction to seeing the car is also the low-end version of Geely’s cooperation with Mercedes-Benz.
In terms of power, the declaration information shows that the new car provides 58 kilowatts and 85 kilowatts of motor power, the matching group, the battery cell manufacturer is Jiangsu Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and the battery assembly manufacturer is Xiangtan Flash Battery Co., Ltd. The appearance also means that this car will give us no small surprise in terms of price in the future.
From the perspective of the entire pure electric car market this year, the overall sales performance has shown a downward trend, and the market situation is not ideal. Take BYD Dolphin as an example, its sales are also on a downward trend, but in this context, Geely’s sales of new energy products have been singing, surpassing Tesla in January and May, second only to BYD.
From the exposed information, Geely Star Wish’s styling characteristics, parameter information and new platform show that it is taking the same "high-quality" road as Geely’s new energy vehicles. In the future, with more sincere prices, it is estimated that it will reduce the quality and sales of existing products in the same pure electric market.
