Compact electric car Geely Xingyuan valued at $ 11 thousand (4 photos)
Geely is preparing to launch the subcompact electric hatchback Xingyuan. Its first photos and some specifications appeared in the database of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Trade in the middle of last month, and now the manufacturer itself has revealed additional information about the model. According to Car News China, the new model will go on sale in August at a price of $11,200. 
The Geome inscription on the Xingyuan's trunk door indicates that the hatchback belongs to the Geometry family. Initially, it was conceived as an independent sub-brand, but last spring it was “returned” to the Geely Auto portfolio as a line of entry-level electric models.
With dimensions of 4135x1805x1570 mm and a wheelbase of 2650 mm, the new product will fill the niche between the Geometry E and Geometry C electric cars. For comparison, the competing BYD Dolphin is only 10 mm shorter, while the distance between the axles is 50 mm greater than that of the Xingyuan.
The new five-door was certified with electric motors of 79 and 116 hp and batteries with a capacity of 30.12 and 40.16 kilowatt-hours, providing a range of 310 to 410 kilometers according to the CLTC cycle. The maximum speed will be 135 km/ h. BYD Dolphin, after another update last month, in the most affordable configuration for 99,800 yuan (13.9 thousand dollars) has a 95-horsepower electric motor and a 44.928-kilowatt-hour battery pack, a full charge of which should be enough for 420 kilometers.
For Xingyuan, nine wheel options will be offered, an optional camera and radar. The infotainment complex will run on the Flyme Auto operating system from the Meizu smartphone manufacturer controlled by the Geely holding.
