Start with what the Geely Panda Mini EV is: a 3-door hatchback, built from 2022, in the decade the industry is turning electric. What it meant takes a little longer.
The background
The Geely Panda Mini EV (Chinese: 吉利熊貓MINI EV; pinyin: Jílì Xióngmāo MINI EV) is a battery electric city car that has been manufactured by Geely Auto since 2022. It was sold under the Geometry marque, but badged as "Geome" instead. It made its official debut at a shopping mall in the city of Hangzhou in December 2022.
The engineering
the output is 20-30 kW. On the scales it comes to 715-815 kg. That is roughly 28 horsepower per tonne: leisurely, which for a car of its age and purpose is the point. Drive goes through a Single-speed gear reduction. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2015 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Geely line-up the Geely Panda Mini EV has a clear place: it replaced the Geely Panda; the factory was China. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Toyota C+pod, the Dacia Spring, the Chery QQ Ice Cream. Its Geely stablemates include the Geely GE and the Geely Yuanjing X6.
