Geely Geometry G6

I tried the second-lowest trim of the 2024 Geometry G6 last time, and this time I'm testing the top trim. Just looking at the price, it costs less than 150,000 yuan and has a range of 500 kilometers, which is not bad. I won't go into detail about the styling. It still has the flavor of the old Geometry A and retains many features of the original Emgrand GL, including the exterior outline. It's just that after several facelifts, many detailed elements have become more fashionable, such as the through-type lights at the front, the two "moustaches", and the hidden door handles.
In terms of the interior, the center console layout is quite regular. The 10.2-inch LCD instrument panel and the 14.6-inch Hongmeng in-car system take up a very large proportion. The materials are quite good. It is said to be skin-friendly, with a delicate touch, and it is quite high-class among models in the same segment. After the 2024 model changed the original gear shift knob to a column-mounted gear shift, the center console area was freed up for storage space layout, which adds points for practicality.
The Hongmeng in-car system is still quite amazing. Both the resolution and refresh rate are quite high, and the display effect is also quite stunning. The home concept is integrated into the main interface, which is divided into three themes: living room, music hall, and garage, corresponding to the main interface, multimedia interface, and vehicle settings interface respectively. There is no problem logically. It also operates quite smoothly, and there is no lag when switching programs. It also gets a point for being standard across the entire lineup.
As for the seating space, I'm 176 cm tall. After adjusting the front seat position, the legroom and headroom in the back row are sufficient, but not particularly spacious. It's just that the rear seats are relatively low, and you can't put your feet under the front seats, so there is insufficient thigh support. The upper part of the rear seat back also protrudes a bit, and it feels a bit like being pushed hard when you lean on it. It's a small flaw.
In terms of dynamics, let's first experience the power. In terms of data, it has 150 kilowatts and 310 Nm of torque, which is slightly stronger than the 410-kilometer version. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is only 6.9 seconds. Whether it's driving at low to medium speeds in the city or the re-acceleration ability on the highway, it's stronger.
However, correspondingly, its energy consumption will be a bit higher than that of the 410-kilometer version. After actual testing, under similar road conditions, the average power consumption of this 500-kilometer version is about 14 kWh per 100 kilometers, while the 410-kilometer version is only 12 kWh. Calculated based on a battery capacity of 53.4 kWh and a CLTC range of 500 kilometers, it's about 76% of the rated range. The 410-kilometer version can reach nearly 90% of the rated range. So in fact, the actual ranges of the 410-kilometer version and the 500-kilometer version don't differ much.
Fortunately, the charging speed of the 500-kilometer version is a bit faster than that of the 410-kilometer version. It can charge half of the battery (from 30% to 80%) in as fast as 20 minutes. And the standard 3.3-kilowatt external power discharge across the entire lineup is also quite practical.
In terms of chassis tuning, the Geometry G6 retains a certain sense of the road and has good vibration filtering ability. The solid feeling of vibration filtering is also stronger than that of competitors like the BYD Qin PLUS EV. For a family sedan targeting the household and travel markets, it's not bad. The sound insulation is still at an average level. The Atlas tires equipped generate quite obvious noise during driving.
Overall, the top-trim Geometry G6 is not bad. If you want a long range and high configuration, you can consider it. If you don't pursue high configuration and just need enough range, the second-lowest trim will suffice.

In terms of appearance, it still retains the style of the old Geometric A. The overall outline remains largely unchanged, but many details have become more trendy. For example, there are the through-type lights at the front of the car, the two "moustache" - shaped designs, and the hidden door handles. The side proportion is average. It is a typical type with a relatively short car length and wheelbase, and both the front and rear overhangs are long.

The interior design is simple. It uses skin - friendly materials with a delicate touch. It is equipped with a 10.2 - inch LCD instrument and a 14.6 - inch Hongmeng in - car system. Both the resolution and refresh rate are very high, and the display effect is quite amazing. The operation is very smooth, and there is no lag when switching programs. As a second - lowest - spec model, other configurations are just mediocre. After all, it is mainly targeted at the ride - hailing market, and having too many configurations doesn't make much sense.

A minor drawback is that the steering wheel's forward - backward adjustment range is too small, only about three or four centimeters. It has limited use for people with long legs and short arms.

When it comes to the rear row, for a person with a height of 176 cm, the legroom and headroom are okay, but not extremely spacious. The central floor has a slight bulge, but it doesn't have much impact on seating. The rear seats are relatively low, and there is no space to put feet under the front seats, resulting in insufficient thigh support.

In terms of dynamics, as a pure - electric family sedan, the chassis and suspension tuning of the G6 is relatively neutral. It retains a certain sense of the road and also has good vibration - filtering ability. The sound insulation is at an average level, and the tire noise is quite obvious.
The power is abundant, with 150 kilowatts and 310 N¡¤m. The official 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time is 6.9 seconds. You can feel an obvious sense of pushback when stepping on the accelerator at medium and low speeds, but the acceleration ability weakens relatively after exceeding 90 km/h.
Regarding energy consumption, it is equipped with a 46.11 - kWh battery with a CLTC range of 410 km. The actual power consumption per 100 km is about 12 kWh, and it can easily achieve 90% of the rated range, which is indeed a significant improvement compared to before the facelift. It is also equipped with true fast - charging, which can charge up to half (30% - 80%) in as fast as half an hour. Additionally, a 3.3 - kilowatt external discharge function, which is very useful, is newly added as a standard feature across all models.

It's been half a month since I picked up the car. The driving experience is okay. The handling is relatively smooth, and the power performance is also good. It responds well when I step on the accelerator.
