Auto Car | Beijing 2010: New Geely Emgrand GE electric limo | Geely showed off its latest addition at Beijing 2010 the GE limousine, which it plans to put into production in 2015. With its large front grille echoing other models from Geely’s new range and stylish design throughout, the Emgrand premium is aimed at clients that would rather be driven than drive themselves.

Its 214-inch body sits over a 124-inch wheelbase making the GE a well-proportioned and large car. Two passengers can relax in the back with a shaped rear bench seat, or if specified a single seat can be installed with extra compartments either side if the owner wishes to work alone.

Power comes from a plug-in hybrid system found in Geely’s GT coupe. The 2.4-liter four cylinder petrol engine pushes out 160 horsepower which is linked to a pair of 27.5 kilowatt hub motors for the electric drive giving all-wheel-drive capability. Check out the link for more pictures.

Another entry that Geely has planned for its new Emgrand premium sub-brand is the GE limousine. Like many of Geely's new models, the GE has a very prominent grille but the rest of the design looks otherwise well-proportioned and attractive. With a 214-inch body sitting on a 124-inch wheelbase, the GE is a big car targeted at executives who prefer to be driven rather than get behind the wheel. The Geely Emgrand GE can be equipped with either a rear bench contoured for two passengers or a single large seat flanked by extra storage compartments.

Underneath, the GE has the same plug-in hybrid powertrain featured in the GT coupe. That means it gets a 2.4-liter inline-four that producing 160 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The electric drive consists of a pair of 27.5 kilowatt, 132 pound-foot hub-motors for all-wheel-drive capability. The GE is targeted for 2015 introduction.
