According to Geely, since the launch of the miniature Panda EV, more than 130000 units have been sold, and that's only in China. This includes such editions as Panda Knight, a limited version of Little Yellow Duck and the Dragon Edition, made in delicate shades.
Briefly about appearance
As for the Go Kart Edition, the modification is based on the original Geely Panda EV and stands out from the other versions with a black paint job with pink accents. The rims have white square inserts - they add contrast and follow the geometry of the body.
Such miniature electric cars are ideal in the cramped environment of a metropolis. Photo: youtube.com A rear wing is installed above the rear door. It looks very strange on such a car, but still refers us to the theme of karting, which is the theme of the limited Go Kart Edition.
The car, which is positioned as a mini-car, has dimensions of 3150x1540x1685 mm and a wheelbase of 2015 mm. In this regard, only two people can fully and comfortably fit inside.
Power plant and battery
In technical terms, this is still the same Geely Panda EV. It is driven by a single permanent magnet motor. Rear-wheel drive, peak power – 30 kW, torque – 110 N*m.
The almost square car supports two driving modes: normal and sport. There are suspicions that the second one does not add much dynamics to the car, but it is there, and that’s already good.
The car has a second row of seats, but it will only be comfortable for children. Photo: youtube.com The Geely Panda EV battery charges from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes. In addition to direct current, you can use alternating current for recharging, but in this case it will take longer to replenish the charge.
What's interesting inside?
The interior of the Go Kart Edition does not differ significantly from the original model. The same 9,2-inch instrument panel is visible here, with an 8-inch touchscreen to the right.
The interior equipment remains virtually unchanged between versions, except for the color scheme. Photo: youtube.com You can control the navigation and multimedia system from the central touchscreen. The car supports voice commands and wireless Bluetooth connectivity. Remote control is available via a smartphone - turning on the air conditioning, opening and closing doors.
For reference, the starting price of the Geely Panda electric car in China starts at 4100 US dollars or 380000 rubles at the current exchange rate. In the maximum configuration, the car costs $8200 or 761000 rubles. Prices are ridiculous for 2024, aren't they?
