In today's automotive industry, the rise of new energy vehicles can no longer be ignored, and global automakers are embracing this change. Today, I had the pleasure of test-driving Geely's all-new B-segment all-electric flagship sedan, the Geely Galaxy E8, which attracted a lot of attention with its unique design, innovative technology and excellent driving performance. Here's a full report of my experience with this exciting new car.
First, the model introduction:
The birth of the Geely Galaxy E8 is undoubtedly another sublimation of Geely Automobile's pursuit of new energy and intelligence. With its spacious body size and wide range of equipment options, this model offers passengers an unprecedented driving experience. The E8 with a body length of 5010mm, a width of 1920mm, and a height of 1465mm has a wheelbase of 2925mm, which is not inferior to high-end sedans in the same class. Not only is it spacious, but it also ensures sufficient ride and storage comfort.
Second, the vehicle configuration:
The Geely Galaxy E8 is available in two versions of the battery pack, 62kWh and 76kWh, and their cruising range varies significantly at 550km and 665km respectively depending on the CLTC operating conditions, which fully meets the needs of daily commuting and even long-distance travel. The power performance is also refreshing, with the rear-wheel drive version equipped with a 200kW electric motor, while the all-wheel drive version is equipped with two electric motors, with a total power of up to 475kW and an output of 710Nm of maximum torque, when the engine roars, you can feel the boiling power under the wheels.
3. Test drive experience:
My test drive began on a sunny morning with the first stop at the Gymkhana Circuit. I was very much expecting the handling of the Geely Galaxy E8, and it didn't disappoint me. I was struck by the accuracy of the "point-and-shoot" in the pile-winding test, thanks to the excellent steering and responsive suspension. During the indulgent drive, the car's steady stance is transmitted through the fingertips, and the body is always as steady as a rock in every turn.
From the track to the city, the Geely Galaxy E8 still performs well. In a busy urban area, it is able to deftly navigate narrow streets, whether it is stopping to change gears or passing through narrow roads. Such an experience makes driving such a 5-meter wide-body sedan very stressful.
The acceleration performance test is the highlight of the Geely Galaxy E8. As soon as you step on the accelerator, it seems to have gained free wings, and it quickly flapps its wings and flies high, and the feeling of its back against the seat makes people think of aviation taking off. The sedan delivers impressive stability and strong dynamics in all driving situations.
Fourth, technology and comfort:
The Geely Galaxy E8's technology configuration is one of its highlights. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the world's first 45-inch 8K unbounded smart large screen is like the embodiment of future technology in the car, with clear screen display and intuitive operation. The Flyme Link system has raised the linkage between mobile phones and vehicles to a new level, making driving not only driving, but also an experience of enjoying the convenience brought by technology.
Consideration of driving comfort is also pervasive. The seat wraps well, so you won't get tired even during long drives. In terms of noise control, the Geely Galaxy E8 has achieved the industry-leading level, and the cabin still maintains a quiet atmosphere even at high speeds.
5. Exterior and interior:
When it comes to its exterior design, we have to mention the unique shape of the ripple of light rhythm grille, and the concept of building a car that integrates strength and beauty, making the Geely Galaxy E8 full of dynamism even when stationary. As for the interior, the blend of modernity and luxury is outlined with clean lines, both in terms of material selection and craftsmanship, which shows Geely's persistent pursuit of quality.
After a day of test driving, I was impressed with all aspects of the Geely Galaxy E8. It not only has excellent performance in driving performance, but also performs well in technology configuration and comfort experience, which can be called a pure electric flagship that combines beauty, power and intelligence. And in the ever-improving pure electric vehicle market, the Geely Galaxy E8 is indeed ready to stand out from the fierce market competition. For those consumers who are looking for a top-of-the-line experience in new energy vehicles, the Geely Galaxy E8 is undoubtedly one of the best choices.
