As a new model built on a new architecture and with higher hardware configuration, the Geely Galaxy E8 has advantages over the old models that have been on the market for many years in terms of platform, configuration, space, and intelligence.
And, considering that the first battle is still the main theme of the new energy vehicle market from top to bottom. The pre-sale price of Geely Galaxy E8 is less than 190,000 yuan, which is also significantly lower than the above competitors of the same level. However, due to the influence of positioning, the position of Geely Galaxy E8 in the market will be restricted by other brands within Geely to a certain extent. Therefore, in order to ensure the volume of Geely Galaxy E8 and maintain the stability of Geely's new energy product system, a reasonable pricing is undoubtedly the decisive factor.
The good market performance of the Geely Galaxy L7 and L6 models in the early stage has also laid a solid market foundation for this new sequence, which was established less than a year ago. Since June this year, Geely Galaxy has sold a total of 7140,000 units. As the first pure electric high-end sedan in this series, the existence of the Geely Galaxy E8 is also expected to bring the brand value of Geely Galaxy to a higher level.
Recalling Li Shufu's sentence "The master moves seriously, and the apprentice stands aside", the fierce competition in China's new energy vehicle market can be seen. It remains to be seen whether the Geely Galaxy E8 can become an absolute hit in the B-class new energy sedan market in the coming 2024, but it is almost a certainty that it can disrupt the situation as a big catfish.
