Today's Chinese auto market is constantly ushering in a new generation of users, and nearly 400 million post-80s and post-90s new generation consumers have gradually grown into the main consumer force in the automotive market. As the indigenous people of the Internet, young consumer groups have grown up with the vigorous development of China's Internet economy and the rapid popularization of smart phones, and their demand for automotive products is no longer satisfied with the traditional requirements of the past. Therefore, new energy and intelligent networking and other new things are booming, and car companies have also given their own answers, and the important chess piece of Geely, the big brother of Its chinese in the new energy market, is geometric cars.
Recently, the Geometric A Pro Apple series was officially launched, and the new car was launched with a total of 5 configurations, and the price range after comprehensive subsidies was 199,800 to 175,800 yuan. As a new model, apple series in the interior and exterior design, power and endurance have not been adjusted, mainly to upgrade some of the configuration, the vehicle product strength has been improved to a certain extent, let's understand the specific performance of the car in the end.
Exterior design
The Geometric A Pro Apple series has not changed in terms of internal and external design, the car's vehicle design style is relatively simple, and there are no unnecessary lines in the whole car, just like its brand identity, which is full of postmodern technology. As a pure electric product, the front part of the car adopts a fully enclosed design, the Logo position has an inward concave treatment, which looks particularly spirited, and the multi-layer ripple line design of the front surround further enriches the details of the front face. In addition, the car's headlights use LED light sources and features such as automatic headlights and flow steering.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 4752×1804×1503 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm, which is a standard compact body. The new model body side shape is more rounded, hidden door handle added some shape design, compared to our common large flat shape undoubtedly more than a touch of beauty, when the owner carries the key close to the door when the door handle will automatically pop out, the sense of ceremony is good.
The geometric A Pro roof transitions smoothly, with the rear sunroof extending to the rear to create a slip-on shape, while the lines are slightly upturned at the rear, adding a touch of vitality to the entire rear. The flat taillight group of the new car is connected by black trim panels in the middle, and this one-line shape brings good lateral visual tension to the whole vehicle.
Interior design
Like the exterior design, the geometric A Pro also takes a simple route in the interior design, and the entire interior has a certain sense of technology. The center console uses a large number of horizontal lines to outline, extending the horizontal visual width of the cockpit, the new car does not use too much leather wrapping in terms of materials, but uses soft fabric fabrics, with a light visual effect, the actual touch is also relatively good. The steering wheel directly in front of the main driver is a double-frame design with a flat bottom shape. The size is just right for female owners, but it is a little small for male owners, the steering wheel has a more prominent feel, and the surface is made of antibacterial microfiber leather material.
Geometric A Pro Apple series interior seats are uniformly wrapped in imitation leather + turned fur material mix and match, and the main driver's seat is equipped with electric adjustment and front seat heating as standard in terms of functions. The new car's front seats are wide and the seat cushions are of excellent length, providing passengers with good leg support, while the interior padding is not too hard and the comfort is acceptable.
The rear seats of the new car are equipped with independent headrests that can be lifted and lowered, and the sides have obvious inverted parts, the sense of wrapping is good, and the leg space under normal circumstances is about one punch, which has no advantage over the same level of models. There is a small bulge in the center of the platform, and the longitudinal space is not large, and the comfort of a long ride will be greatly reduced.
dynamical system
The Geometry A Pro Apple series is still equipped with a drive motor with a maximum output of 204 hp and a peak torque of 310 Nm, and the official 100 km/h acceleration is 6.9 seconds. In addition, depending on the configuration, the new car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 53 kWh and 70 kWh respectively, corresponding to a cruising range of 430 km and 600 km.
Model configuration and purchase recommendations
The geometric A Pro Apple series this adjustment focuses on the configuration aspect, and does not bring us any freshness in terms of design and power. In the middle of March this year, Geometry's models have made adjustments in terms of price, of which the price of Geometry A Pro has been raised by 0.3 to 0.7 million yuan, which is not too large compared to other brand models, but the price of the new Apple series is significantly higher than that of the ordinary version, and many consumers believe that this is another disguised price increase of the car. So is this the case? Next, Uncle Che will choose the geometric A Pro Apple series entry model and the sub-low version with a guide price of 136,800 yuan to compare to see if the increase in the new model is worth the price increase.

Configuration review: Limited function improvement and low cost performance
The guidance price is 139,800 yuan, the price is more than 0.3 million yuan, the configuration has increased the Bluetooth key in terms of function, but compared with the previous configuration, the lack of original mobile phone interconnection mapping, the price increase is not proportional to the function, and the cost performance is low.
Uncle Che summed up
In general, the Geometry A Pro is a pure electric model with obvious advantages and disadvantages, the car has a minimalist interior and exterior design, but it is still slightly less hot in some details, and the space performance in the car does not have much advantage over the same level of models. The new Apple series of the car has slightly improved in terms of configuration, but it is not proportional to its price increase, and the cost performance is not optimistic. Geometry A Pro is now facing competitors in the same level of the market are very strong, of which BYD Qin PLUS EV and Xiaopeng P5 are far more than Geometry A Pro in terms of product comprehensive strength or brand awareness, from the perspective of sales data, the total sales level of the car in the first quarter of this year is 8227 units, the average monthly sales volume is less than 3000 units, although there is a certain improvement compared to the past, but the gap between the mainstream players is very obvious, so the car uncle still recommends considering geometry A Pro's friends may wish to take another look.
