On October 9, GEOME was officially launched, with a total of 5 models, with a limited-time price of 69,800-98,800 yuan. GEOME is positioned as a pure electric small car, built on Geely's GEA new energy architecture, with a single motor rear drive, standard Flyme Auto smart cockpit, and two pure electric ranges of 310 kilometers and 410 kilometers.GEOME adopts a very rounded design language. The body colors include basil green, ice berry powder, vanilla rice, milk cap white, sea salt blue, truffle gray, and mousse silver. These names are all derived from the flavors of ice cream, which also shows its positioning in the young market. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4135/1805/1570mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2650mm.
In terms of interior, GEOME is equipped with Flyme Auto smart cockpit, providing car-machine interconnection, 750 version of Gaode map, dual-zone voice dialogue and other functions. At the same time, the car will also provide panoramic imaging, rear air-conditioning outlets, front seat heating and other configurations. In terms of intelligent driving, it has ACC adaptive cruise, traffic sign recognition, LDW lane departure warning, AEB automatic emergency braking, etc. In terms of power, GEOME adopts a single motor rear-wheel drive with a maximum power of 79 horsepower and 116 horsepower respectively. It is equipped with Ningde battery cell + liquid cooling temperature control system as standard, providing two cruising ranges of 310km and 410km, and supports a maximum charging rate of 1.66C. The fast charging time of 30-80% only takes 24.2 minutes, and the battery life is 120km after 10 minutes of energy replenishment. With the launch of Geely GEOME, we found through comparison that it is basically the same as BYD Seagull in terms of positioning and pricing. Obviously, this is a posture of wanting to challenge the seagull. You know, BYD Seagull has dominated the entire A0-class small car market. According to relevant data, the cumulative sales of Seagull in the past six months have exceeded an astonishing 200,000 units, with an average monthly sales of more than 30,000 units. What's more, it reached a record high of 46,000 units in August, becoming the well-deserved sales king. Therefore, after the launch of Geely GEOME, the two will form a fierce competitive relationship. Therefore, we selected these two models for comparison. So, in the competition with Seagull, what is the strength of GEOME?

This time we chose the GEOME 310km Youth Edition and the Seagull 305km Vitality Edition for comparison, because their prices and pure electric ranges are very close. At the same time, the Seagull 305km Vitality Edition is also the model with the highest attention and the largest sales volume.

In terms of appearance, the design styles of the two models are completely different. The GEOME's design is more fashionable and cute, with rounded and smooth body lines, which looks very high-end. On the other hand, the BYD Seagull has sharp lines and clear edges and corners, and a large-sized ventilation grille on the front face, and the overall shape is more sporty and youthful.

01 GEOME has a larger space, and the power and energy consumption of the two cars are comparable.
In comparison, the length, width, height and wheelbase of GEOME are better than those of Seagull, which shows that GEOME has a relatively larger and more spacious space, and GEOME adopts a 5-seat layout, while Seagull only has 4 seats. The most important point is that GEOME also has the largest front trunk and trunk in its class, with a volume of 70L and 375L respectively. In terms of power, GEOME's motor power is higher than Seagull, but Seagull performs better in motor torque and top speed, but the difference between the two is not big, and they are basically at the same level. At the same time, in terms of power consumption, GEOME consumes 10.9 degrees per 100 kilometers, which is 1 degree higher than Seagull, indicating that Seagull's later car use cost is relatively lower. In addition, in terms of the most important price, the GEOME Youth Edition is exactly the same as the Seagull Vitality Edition, both of which are 69,800 yuan, and both are exempt from purchase tax.

 02 GEOME has a better chassis and a slightly better range 

Let's take a look at the battery and chassis. It is not difficult to see that both models are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries. The difference is that GEOME uses the battery cell of CATL, while Seagull uses BYD's own Fudi battery. In addition, GEOME's battery capacity is larger and the battery life is longer. It has a pure electric range of 310 kilometers, but Seagull's range is also 305 kilometers, and the difference between the two is only 5 kilometers. The 300-kilometer range is just enough for family users who want to buy a pure electric model, which can basically meet the needs of urban travel and commuting. In terms of chassis, the front suspension type of the two models is the same, both are front McPherson type, but GEOME's rear suspension is a multi-link independent type, while Seagull is still a torsion beam non-independent suspension. At the same time, GEOME uses a rear single motor and wider tires. This means that GEOME is better than Seagull in terms of driving stability and comfort. Moreover, GEOME can also drift, which is more playable.

03 Smart Cabin GEOME is leading, and other configurations are comparable

 In terms of intelligent configuration, although the two cars are equipped with the same size of central control screen, the GEOME is equipped with the Flyme Auto car system, which is more flexible and convenient to operate than the DiLink of the Seagull, and has better fluency. At the same time, it also has stronger voice recognition capabilities, which can support dual areas and continuous conversations. In terms of comfort configuration, the seat materials and air-conditioning types of the two models are the same. The disadvantage is that both cars are equipped with ordinary halogen headlights, and the lighting effect is slightly worse. In addition, the two cars are equipped with 4 airbags as standard, but the GEOME lacks the head air curtains on the left and right sides, and has 2 more front side airbags. By comparison, it can be seen that the advantages of GEOME lie in its stylish appearance design, spacious space, excellent chassis, and equipped with the Flyme Auto smart cockpit, which are basically at the same level in terms of power, endurance, and energy consumption.
