At the Guangzhou Auto Show in November, Geely Automobile brought two new pure electric sedans in one breath, namely Zeekrypton 007 and Galaxy E8, although the two models belong to the Zeekr brand and Geely Galaxy brand respectively, but for Geely Automobile, they are their own "children", and the palms and backs of their hands are meat.
Recently, Geely Galaxy E8 has also officially opened pre-sale, with a pre-sale price of 18Starting at 80,000 yuan, the pre-sale price of ZEEKR 007 is 22Starting from 990,000 yuan, it is not difficult to see that there seems to be a certain competitive relationship between Galaxy E8 and Zeekrypton 007, after all, both are based on the SEA vast architecture, and they also have 800V high-voltage fast charging and are equipped with Snapdragon 8295 chips. However, in Che Yulu's view, there is an essential difference between Extreme Krypton 007 and Galaxy E8 in terms of positioning.
Geely's twin cars are the embodiment of a win-win situation
Judging from the positioning given by Geely's official,Extreme Krypton007The main focus is the ultimate performance,GalaxyE8The main focus is on young technology,Although the two products have overlapping characteristics,But both have a more dedicated side。
In terms of size, the Galaxy E8 is positioned as a medium and large sedan, with a length, width and height of 5010 1920 1465mm and a wheelbase of 2925mmThe ZEEKR 007 is positioned as a mid-size sedan, with a length, width and height of 4865 1900 1450mm and a wheelbase of 2928mm. Since there is no significant difference between the two in terms of wheelbase, it is expected that the Krypton 007 and Galaxy E8 will be comparable in terms of interior space performance.
In terms of design style,Extreme Krypton007And Galaxy E8 are also very different,Galaxy E8Adopted"Ripple aesthetics"Design,With split light group and new silver logo;ZEEKR 007 adopts the minimalist luxury shape scheme of Hidden Energy, with the world's largest 90-inch giant screen light strip, containing 1711 lamp beads inside, supporting real-time canvas function, and the graphics drawn by passengers in the car can be directly displayed on the light screen, allowing users to have personalized exclusive labels.
In terms of configuration,Galaxy E8 and Extreme Krypton 007Although they both have Snapdragon 8295 chips,But there is a big difference in the design of the interior style,Galaxy E8 is equipped with the world's first mass-produced 45-inch unbounded8K smart screen。 The ZEEKR 007 is equipped with Mobileye's autonomous driving technology invested by Intel Capital, which can achieve L4 autonomous driving functions, allowing users to enjoy intelligent and safe driving in scenarios such as highways, urban roads, and parking lots.
The most critical thing is that there is a significant gap between ZEEKR 007 and Galaxy E8 in terms of performance, although they both support 800V fast charging, but ZEEKR 007 only has a single-motor version of the model power of 310kW, while the Galaxy E8 single-motor version of the model power is only 200KW. Although the total power of the two dual-motor four-wheel drive models can reach 475kW, the Galaxy E8 needs 3 to accelerate from zero to 10049s, while ZEEKR 007 only needs 284s, the acceleration performance is more powerful.
In terms of endurance performance, the cruising range of different models of the Galaxy E8 under CLTC working conditions is 550km, 665km and 620km respectively, and the cruising range of the CLTC working condition at the start of the Krypton 007 has reached 688km, and the long-range version has reached 870km, which is more attractive. At the same time, on the chassis, ZEEKR 007 will also use the double wishbone front suspension that only luxury cars have, while the Galaxy E8 front suspension is still a MacPherson independent suspension.
High and low matching, each has a direct opponent
There is no doubt that the performance of ZEEKR 007 is a little better than that of Galaxy E8 in all aspects, which is destined to cause internal friction between the two. What's more, it can also be seen from the ** that the competitors benchmarked by Extreme Krypton 007 and Galaxy E8 are not the same category, but each performs its own duties.
The model that competes with the Galaxy E8 is still Xiaopeng P7, BYD Hanev and other 200,000 domestic pure electric vehicles, the advantage of the Galaxy E8 is that it has stronger performance and 8295 chip blessing, and at the same time, the 24-inch 8K large screen can also bring freshness to users, plus 18The pre-sale price of 80,000 yuan makes the Galaxy E8 a powerful faction in the 200,000-level pure electric car market.
Coming to the side of ZEEKR 007, whether it is in terms of ** or positioning, the competitor of ZEEKR 007 is Tesla Model 3, and compared with Tesla Model 3, ZEEKR 007 has significant advantages in performance, space performance, battery life and intelligent cockpit, especially in performance and endurance, only the power of the single-motor version of the model can reach 310kW, and the pure electric mileage of more than 800km is very competitive in the current 200,000-level pure electric car market.
Looking at Geely's layout in the new energy sector, it has incubated brands such as Zeekr and Ruilan internally, and has invested in many independent car brands such as Volvo, Polestar, and Smart externally. Zeekr and Lynk & Co have occupied the young market, Ruilan is also actively laying out the battery swap market, Geely Galaxy is also constantly improving the product matrix, I believe that after the launch of the two blockbuster new products of Zeekr 007 and Galaxy E8, it will further promote the sales growth of Geely Automobile.
Write at the end:
To sum up, although ZEEKR 007 and Galaxy E8 are highly similar on the surface, they each have a clear positioning, and the target groups of the two models are not the same. According to the plan, ZEEKR 007 will be the first to be launched on December 27, and Galaxy E8 will also be launched in January 2024
