Geely Auto recently announced that the new “absolute orange” car color is now available for customers to choose when purchasing the small electric car model, the Panda Knight. This is the next move to promote this electric car after 4 months of introducing the Knight edition for the Geely Panda lineup.
But that’s not all, the Chinese car group will officially sell the car in Vietnam through its 2 subsidiaries and also announced that those who preorder the Geely Panda Knight in this orange color before February 9, 2024, will receive 2 limited edition gifts: a orange Panda Knight set worth 1,000 RMB and 300 lucky customers will receive a New Year gift box worth 1,000 RMB, totaling 6.5 million VND.
Currently, the Geely Panda Knight electric car is priced at 53,900 RMB (~175 million VND) in the Chinese market, and its main competitor is the Baojun Yep. When it is sold in Vietnam, it will be the competitor of VinFast VF3.
The Panda Knight is positioned as a mid-range electric car, with a square boxy shape and many crossover details. The front of the car features cute round headlights, simulating the design of a heavy-duty off-road vehicle, with the same color as the car’s body.

The length, width, and height of the car are 3135/1565/1655mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2015mm, a minimum ground clearance of 175mm when unloaded, and a minimum ground clearance of 125mm when loaded. The car also has a roof rack decoration on the left side of the car’s body.
The interior layout of the Panda Knight is very simple, featuring a two-spoke steering wheel, a 9.2-inch LCD instrument cluster, an 8-inch floating center control screen, and a large storage compartment in front of the driver. The rear seats can be folded flat to create a storage space with a capacity of 800 liters. In terms of configuration, it is equipped with standard reverse image and 2 reverse radars, as well as functions such as remote control of the car through a mobile app.
In terms of power, the Geely Panda Knight is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a power of 40 horsepower and a maximum torque of 110 Nm, accompanied by a lithium iron phosphate battery pack provided by Guoxuan Hi-Tech, with a pure electric range of up to 200 km.
As for charging, it takes only half an hour to charge from 30% to 80%. Moreover, the Panda Knight also supports 3.3kw slow charging, which can be recharged through various methods such as home charging posts and portable chargers.
