New Geely E2: the compact electric car arrives in Spain and you can reserve it from €13.990 with all discounts

Geely continues to expand its presence in Spain with the arrival of the new Geely E2 , an electric compact car designed for easy city driving without sacrificing a spacious interior, advanced technology, and performance sufficient for intercity journeys. The new Geely E2 will officially go on sale on September 9th, but the brand has already opened the pre-order period. Until then, customers who make a €500 deposit will receive an additional discount of the same amount on the launch offer.

Thus, the Geely E2 PRO can be purchased from €13.990 with financing , a price that includes dealer discounts, the early bird promotion, and the corresponding incentives from the Auto+ Plan. Once the reservation period ends, the promotional price of the E2 PRO will increase to €14.490 under the same general financing and incentive conditions. The advertised cash price for this version is €20.280.

A compact electric car with up to 345 km of range

The Geely E2 measures 4,13 meters in length , a dimension that places it between subcompacts and traditional compact cars. Its design is reminiscent of models like the Citroën ë-C3, the Renault 5 E-Tech, the BYD Dolphin Surf, or the upcoming Volkswagen ID. Polo, although the Geely model opts for a slightly longer body and particularly careful use of interior space. It is not a combustion engine car later adapted to electric propulsion. The E2 was developed from the ground up on Geely's GEA architecture, designed specifically for electrified vehicles.

This platform allows the battery to be placed under the floor, freeing up space for passengers and enabling a mechanical configuration unusual in its class: rear motor and drive , along with a multi-link independent rear suspension. These are solutions typically found in higher-segment cars and should provide more balanced handling than many small electric vehicles with a front motor and torsion beam rear axle.

The Spanish range is structured around three finishes, called PRO, PRO+ and MAX+, and two battery sizes.

The Geely E2 PRO uses a 35 kWh battery and is certified for:

• 252 km range in WLTP combined cycle.
• 368 km of range in WLTP urban cycle.

This version is primarily intended for drivers who use their car in the city, make relatively short daily journeys, and can charge frequently at home or at work.

The PRO+ and MAX+ trims include a 47 kWh battery, which increases the range to:

• 345 km on WLTP combined cycle.
• 497 km in WLTP urban cycle.

The larger battery significantly expands its usability. Although the E2 remains primarily designed for everyday driving, its official 345 km range and spacious interior make it suitable for intercity journeys, weekend getaways, and even occasional trips with reasonable charging planning. Official urban consumption figures are 12,2 kWh/100 km for the E2 PRO and 12,8 kWh/100 km for the versions with the larger battery. These are very good figures for a compact, lightweight car intended mainly for urban environments.

More space than its exterior size suggests

One of the Geely E2's main strengths is its efficient use of space. The rear trunk offers 375 liters of capacity , a very competitive figure for an electric vehicle measuring 4,13 meters in length. Furthermore, there's a second 70-liter compartment under the front hood. This storage space is particularly practical for charging cables, preventing them from taking up space in the trunk or requiring the removal of luggage to access them. The total capacity with all five seats in use reaches 445 liters when both compartments are combined. By folding down the 60:40 split rear seats, the available space can be increased to 1.320 liters.

The rear-mounted engine and integrated battery allow for more space in the front and better utilization of the vehicle's overall length . Geely announces a cabin designed for five passengers, although we'll have to wait for a test drive to verify the actual space available in the rear seats and the comfort of the middle seat.

Rear-wheel drive is one of the E2's most striking technical features, and Geely is proud of it. In a compact electric car, this configuration allows for the separation of steering and propulsion functions. The front wheels steer the car, while the rear wheels transmit power to the road . In theory, this translates into cleaner steering, better traction under acceleration, and more balanced handling. The rear axle uses a multi-link independent suspension, also uncommon at this price point. Compared to a torsion beam axle, it allows for more precise control of each wheel's movement and improves the balance between stability and comfort.

Geely states that the chassis has received a specific tuning for Europe. The aim has been to adapt the steering, suspension, and overall vehicle response to European roads and driver preferences. It will be necessary to drive it to determine if this work translates into a truly distinct feel, but the initial technical configuration looks promising.

The entire range comes standard with the Flyme Auto Smart Cockpit system , dominated by a 14,6-inch multimedia screen. Flyme Auto is the digital platform used by Geely in its latest models. It's designed to integrate navigation, connectivity, entertainment, vehicle settings, and various smart functions into a single interface. The screen size is typical of much larger cars and becomes one of the main features of the dashboard.

The final equipment for each trim level has not yet been announced, but Geely has confirmed that the standard equipment will include heated seats and a wide range of safety and driver assistance systems. All versions of the Geely E2 come equipped with seven airbags and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems. The electronic architecture can integrate up to 36 safety-related functions, thanks to a comprehensive suite of sensors and cameras.

Geely E2 price: what the €13.990 offer includes

To get a Geely E2 for €13.990, you must meet certain conditions. This price includes the dealer discount and financing offer, as well as an additional €500 discount off the list price if you pre-order, which requires a deposit of the same amount. The purchase incentive from the Auto+ Plan, which in this case amounts to €3.375, is also included.

Geely has announced the financing details, which include a down payment of €1.990, a €420 origination fee, and a financed amount of €12.000. Under these terms, the purchase is financed in 119 monthly installments of €152 and a final installment of €151 (the applicable interest rate is 8,99% and the annual percentage rate is 10,29%), bringing the total price to €20.643,36 . Therefore, the promotional price is very attractive, at least for this entry-level PRO version and with the additional discount available for pre-ordering.

In terms of price and size, the Geely E2 will compete with alternatives such as the Citroën ë-C3, the Renault 5 E-Tech, the BYD Dolphin Surf, the Hyundai Inter, the Leapmotor T03, and other urban electric vehicles aiming for a price below €25.000 before subsidies . The Geely model offers several differentiating features: it's slightly larger than most urban electric vehicles but maintains very compact dimensions, allowing it to offer a 375-liter rear trunk and a 70-liter front trunk. It also features multi-link suspension and rear-wheel drive. The PRO version is clearly city-oriented, with a 35 kWh battery and a 252 km range. For more versatile use, the PRO+ with a 47 kWh battery and 345 km range should be considerably more appealing, pending confirmation of the price difference.

The first units will arrive at dealerships in September. It will be then that we can verify whether the handling, comfort, and interior quality live up to the initial technical specifications which, on paper, place the new Geely E2 among the most interesting compact electric vehicles on the market.
