Autotest: Price breaker: Is the Geely E2 convincing in the small car segment?
At home in China, it's a bestseller. Now Geely wants to try its luck with the E2 here too. Where it can become a danger to VW ID.Polo & Co. - and where it's less likely to.
The Chinese automaker Geely is exporting its successful model, the Geely Xingyuan, also known as the E2, to Europe, priced from 19,990 Euros. The E2, measuring 4.14 meters in length, offers a spacious interior, a solid safety package, and a range of up to 345 kilometers. It comes in two configurations: the E2 Pro with 60 kW/82 PS and 35 kWh battery, and the E2 Max with 85 kW/116 PS and 47 kWh battery, priced 4,000 Euros more.
Despite its competitive pricing and features, the E2's performance, with a top speed of 130 km/h, and charging capabilities, with a maximum of 6.6 kW AC and 80 kW DC, may hinder its success in the European market.
