 2026 Geely E2
Is that still a small car? Judging by its external dimensions, perhaps, but given its long wheelbase, probably not. It offers a surprising amount of interior space. The Geely is also breaking new ground in other aspects.
Actually everyone in this class opts for front-wheel drive.
Not Geely. Not only has the car been fitted with rear-wheel drive, but also with the correspondingly more complex, yet more sophisticated, rear axle. No, this actually makes the luggage compartment a bit smaller, although
with 375 litres, you really can’t complain.
The advantages include a spacious ‘frunk’ and an ultra-small turning circle. Unfortunately, though, the Geely is designed a little too much towards city driving and home charging, hopefully with a three-phase supply. Its DC
charging rates are actually rather outdated.
Yet, given its spacious interior and the comfort one would expect from its long wheelbase, it would also be suitable for longer journeys. It will be interesting to see how much it costs with the larger battery. It doesn't bode
well that the bottom two models have the small battery.
No, we criticize based on relatively high standards. Consider the price, which, incidentally, appears to be confirmed at 21,000 pounds in the UK. But it is only once the price of the large battery is known
that we will be able to assess the extent of the competition with the VW Group.
