I test-drove the Geometry E in September last year, just a few months after it was on the market. After a year, its name has changed now, called Geometric E Firefly, the price is more close to the people, starting at 69,800 yuan, and the top match is only 90,000. In addition, its interior and configuration have also been upgraded and optimized. Overall, the cost performance of the new car has indeed become higher than in the past. This may also be forced by the increasing number of explosive models in the A0-class pure electric vehicle market in the past two years. Without further ado, let's follow our lens to see if the new car has the potential to become a hit.

One sentence review of the new car:
About 70,000 can buy a new energy scooter produced by a large factory and rich in configuration, and what kind of bicycle.
Advantage:
1. Produced by large manufacturers, pre-sale and after-sales are guaranteed
2. Standard LCD instrument + central control screen
3. The car system has strong functionality, online music and maps
4. High space utilization, no problem to sit 5 people
5. The start is brisk, and driving in the city is very easy
Inferior position:
1. The response of the vehicle system is slow
2. Only the top-equipped model has a range of 401km, and the rest are 301km
Since the new car is more of a facelifted model, the exterior design is basically the same as the geometric E of the past, using the same closed middle net and split headlight design. I myself really like this LED headlight called Firefly Eye, it is really very spiritual to watch.
The design of double color block + double waist line makes the sides of the geometric E firefly very dynamic, and there are also three different shape wheels to choose from to meet everyone's individual needs. The door handle also adopts the semi-hidden design common to new energy vehicles, which is beautiful and can reduce wind resistance.
The rear of the new car is also very recognizable, and the firefly wing sports double tail wing with firefly streamer LED taillights looks very delicate. For this kind of car that is less than 100,000, I think the two words exquisite are really very important. The vehicle must not have a cheap feel, and the Geometry E Firefly really does it.
In terms of body size, the Geely Geometry E Firefly has a length, width and height of 4006/1765/1550mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2485mm, which will have some advantages in size compared with BYD Seagull, Wuling Binguo, Nezha AYA and other models of the same class. Whether such an advantage can be transformed into an advantage in seating space, let's get on the car and see.
I'm 185cm tall, and after adjusting the front seats, I still get a little legroom in the back, which is not a lot of money, but it definitely doesn't give me a crowded feeling.
After talking about space, let's go back to the front row to look at the design of the entire center console, a large number of flat straight lines plus a wrap-around design, there is not much difficulty to get started. The full LCD instrument cluster and the 10.25-inch center control screen are the visual center of gravity on the center console. It is worth mentioning that the LCD instrument and central control screen are standard on the geometric E firefly.
In terms of configuration, don't look at the geometry E Firefly is a car of 60,000 or 70,000, Bluetooth key, parking comfort mode, lock car power off, antibacterial multi-function steering wheel, CN95 level air conditioning filter element + fresh air system and other functions and configurations are arranged for you. Driving assistance features such as adaptive range, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning are also available on high-end models.
The Geometry E Firefly has two types of endurance, 301km and 401km, corresponding to the two lithium iron phosphate batteries equipped with 29.67/39.3kWh, respectively. The new model has a motor with a maximum output of 60 kW and a maximum torque of 130 Nm. Seeing such power parameters, presumably you will not have too high expectations for its power reserve. In fact, the start of the geometric E firefly is still very brisk, and the acceleration of about 60km/h is not delayed, and the overall power level is actually not bad. In sport mode, the vehicle can reach a top speed of 120 km/h.
The feeling of the chassis of the new car to the driver is quite neat, and there is no loose feeling at all. The suspension also easily filters out small bumps. I am already very satisfied with such chassis performance, after all, the price of the new car is here. Of course, the vehicle still has obvious room for improvement in sound insulation and noise reduction.
summary
In the past, the more than 70,000 Fit that could be bought may not even have a horn. Today, for more than 70,000 you can already buy a geometric E Firefly with everything you need, plus a little money and even have driving assistance features such as adaptive cruise. I have to say that the current domestic new energy vehicle market is too volatile. For Geometry E Fireflies, my evaluation can be summed up in 5 words: you buy, I recommend!
