Geely Auto Group has launched the Geely TT in China, an electric sports sedan with an 800V architecture that the company says can add nearly 311 miles (500 km) of range in 11 minutes. The model launches under the Geely Auto brand alongside a limited-edition TT Ultra rated at 425 kW (570 hp) with a Lotus-tuned chassis. According to the company, every trim comes standard with LiDAR, Geely’s G-ASD driver assistance system and an AI cockpit assistant.
Highlights
- 425 kW (570 hp) combined maximum output for the limited-edition TT Ultra, with 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, per Geely
- Nearly 311 miles (500 km) of range added in 11 minutes on the 800V system with a CATL Shenxing TT battery supporting up to 6C charging, the company reports
- Guinness World Record for a continuous wet-road drift of more than 28.6 miles (46 km)
- Standard LiDAR and G-ASD driver assistance across the range, with highway and urban navigation assistance
TT Ultra Carries a “Handling by Lotus” Badge
The TT Ultra is the performance flagship of the launch. Geely states it delivers a combined maximum power of 425 kW (570 hp) and reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) from a standstill in 3.8 seconds. Lotus tuned the chassis, and each Ultra carries a “Handling by Lotus” badge.
The standard TT rides on Geely’s GEA EVO electric architecture with rear-wheel drive, double-wishbone front suspension and five-link rear suspension. Adaptive damping is fitted to balance handling and ride comfort, according to the company.
Geely says the TT set a Guinness World Record with a continuous wet-road drift of more than 28.6 miles (46 km). The company’s 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive, which debuts on the TT, set two Guinness records earlier this year ahead of the sedan’s launch.
How Fast Does the Geely TT Charge?
Every TT variant uses an 800V electrical architecture paired with a CATL Shenxing TT battery that supports up to 6C fast charging. Geely reports the system can add nearly 311 miles (500 km) of driving range in 11 minutes. The company did not specify the test cycle behind the range figure.
Driver Assistance and AI Cockpit
All models come equipped with LiDAR and the G-ASD advanced driver assistance system, which the company says supports navigation assistance on highways and urban roads. Inside, the “Super Eva” AI cockpit assistant supports multilingual interaction and is designed to anticipate occupants’ needs, according to Geely.
Cabin and Safety
At nearly 16.4 feet (five meters) long with a 115-inch (2,920 mm) wheelbase, the TT offers a flat rear floor and a 23-speaker Flyme Sound system. Safety equipment includes:
- Battery thermal-runaway protection
- Reinforced body structure
- Automatic emergency braking
- Active stability control for tire-blowout situations
