Geely Auto's hatchback models include: King Kong, Panda, RS, Vision X1, Vision S1, etc. Taking the 2016 Panda as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 4-seat hatchback with body dimensions of: length 3815mm, width 1648mm, height 1530mm, a wheelbase of 2340mm, a fuel tank capacity of 35L, and a curb weight of 1040kg. The 2016 Panda features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 68PS, a maximum power of 50kW, and a maximum torque of 88Nm, paired with a 5-speed mechanical automatic transmission.

I remember riding in my dad's Geely Classic Panda when I was a kid. It was a compact hatchback that was nimble to drive, easy to park in the city, and had pretty good fuel efficiency. Nowadays, there are several new Panda Mini models in my neighborhood—they're fully electric, with a range of over 100 kilometers on a full charge, making them ideal for commuters. They cost around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, with simple interiors but decent space inside. Geely doesn't offer many hatchback options—aside from the Panda series, the Emgrand used to have a hatchback version, but it didn't sell well. New car buyers should visit dealerships to test drive and check for promotions. These small cars are easy to maintain, whether it's oil changes or battery upkeep, and they offer great value for city commuting. They can even handle some luggage, though on long trips, you'll need to plan charging stops carefully.

Let's talk about Geely's hatchbacks. The most reliable one is the Panda Mini. The electric version is quiet and energy-efficient, with a range of around 120 km, which is enough for grocery shopping and picking up kids. If the classic fuel-powered Panda hasn't been discontinued, it's also affordable and fuel-efficient. I personally took friends for a test drive, and the space is enough to fit more than two suitcases. It handles turns steadily and lacks those luxury features but has the basics like airbags. Geely has made rapid progress in car manufacturing, and compared to the BYD Dolphin, it's more cost-effective. When buying a new car, pay attention to the battery warranty period. With government subsidies, the total cost is around 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is quite a good deal. I haven't driven other Geely hatchbacks, but I've heard the Vision has a similar model, though it leans more towards an SUV. For daily use, it's worry-free, with insurance costing just a few hundred yuan, and don't delay maintenance for too long.

Electric vehicles have been booming in the past two years, and Geely's Panda Mini is a leading hatchback pure electric model. Its compact design makes parking easy, with a starting price of just over 40,000 yuan. I've driven a friend's car—after a full charge, it can run for half a day, making it perfect for short urban trips. There aren't many traditional hatchback options available, as the Emgrand series mainly focuses on sedans. The Panda Mini's battery durability is decent, and maintenance is simpler compared to gasoline cars. The market trend is rapidly moving in this direction.
