Pure electric cars ushered in a wave of listings, whether high-end brands or ordinary brands, they are doing their best to replace all levels of fuel vehicles. The Geely Galaxy E8, which was launched in Hangzhou, the base camp on January 5, is another strong competitor in the B-class sedan market.
Galaxy is Geely's new energy brand sequence, after the launch of L6 and L7 two plug-in hybrid sedans and plug-in hybrid SUVs, the pure electric Galaxy E8 is the icing on the cake again, in addition to the power switching pure electric, in terms of price, the Galaxy E8 rose to the top 22880,000 yuan, also recognized by Geely as "China's new generation of pure electric flagship".
Crossing the mainstream joint venture sedan
Let's not look at whether it is a flagship from the first, after all, new energy, pure electric models of about 200,000 abound, but day after year, with the current speed of Chinese automobile product updates, even if it is only half a year, the evolution is fast. In other words, the same price models that were launched a year or two ago may have a very different technical configuration compared to today.
This is the general perception, including hybrid, pure electric new energy vehicles, two trends are particularly obvious: one is far less than the previous four or five years, more down-to-earth;Second, under the same **, the product technical configuration and product quality have made great progress. In this way, once out and one in, the consumer's feeling is that the product is stronger, and it is not served.
The Galaxy E8 is the pure electric B-segment sedan launched under this beat, priced at 1758-22.880,000 yuan, almost completely coincides with the price of the mainstream B-class cars such as Camry, Accord, Magotan and so on, even if it is 22The top configuration of 880,000 yuan, and the hybrid products of Accord and Camry are also completely overlapping in price, and they are completely handed over.
This is very special, looking at the price of the Galaxy E8, its pure electric 5 versions, but with the mainstream B-class joint venture models of fuel, hybrid full convergence competition, this will be because the hybrid Accord, Camry has not completely opened the price difference with the fuel version, are in the range of 21-240,000 yuan.
Of course, as a pure electric B-class sedan, the Galaxy E8 will compete not only with Camry, Accord and other joint venture B-class hybrid models, but also with many Chinese brands of pure electric and hybrid cars. But in any case, the price of the Galaxy E8 completely coincides with the mainstream B-class car of the joint venture, not only the fuel car, but also the joint venture hybrid, which in itself is a big step forward for the Chinese brand, that is to say, the product level and the price are all on the same page, so what do China's Galaxy, Xingtu, BYD, and Deep Blue rely on to fight?That's the completely misplaced product play - using technology to configure equipment and fight a completely misplaced competition.
Maybe you put the newly launched Chinese brand pure electric sedans, such as the Xingtu ES and Galaxy E8 together, and compare them with the hybrid products of Camry and Accord, it seems that they are products of two eras, not competing products. The mainstream B-class cars of the joint venture continue to be both fuel vehicles and hybrids, that is, their hybrid models are grafted on fuel vehicles, and the power system is to become hybrid, not plugged in, but there are little changes in other aspects.
And like Xingtu ES and Galaxy E8, they are pure and complete pure electric models, including power, car machine, energy consumption, intelligence, etc., which are completely different, and they are new systems, which is Galaxy E8 in 1758-22.880,000 yuan can be called a "flagship", which can compete with it.
Who to compete with also lies in the "intrinsic value".
If strictly speaking, the above-mentioned joint venture mainstream hybrid products are not exactly the competitors of the Galaxy E8, the Galaxy E8 with a length of more than 5 meters positions itself as a B-class sedan and a flagship sedan, more compared with a group of rising Chinese brand pure electric models, such as the Xpeng P7 that sells well, the BYD Han EV DM that has made a big splash since its listing, and the famous Tesla Model 3 and Feifan F7 and other pure electric cars.
Compete with these products that have long been listed, Galaxy E8, as a latecomer, is to be novel, there is no plus point in product styling design (my point of view), then in vehicle performance, configuration, energy consumption, technology level, etc., it must be dry goods, which is what Geely said"** value".
Although Geely CEO Gan Jiayue has repeatedly said that the design of the Galaxy E8 has brought the aesthetics of new energy vehicles into the "Chinese design era", its drag coefficient has also achieved "the lowest 0 in the world's mass production."199", compared to the drag coefficient released by the Xiaomi Su7 not so long ago is 0195, regardless of bragging, but these are related to the international wind resistance 0More than 20 can be called extremely excellent wind resistance comparison, indicating that the design of Chinese cars is indeed world-class, but overall, the shape of the Galaxy E8 is not a plus, the front face is also familiar to everyone, and the tail is not brilliant at all. So this car ** looks better than the real car.
Travel, driving control, and entertainment are thoroughly played
So the real selling point of the Galaxy E8 is still its "inside".
One is driving control, which is the biggest advantage of the rise of Chinese brand new energy vehicles, getting rid of the shortcomings of fuel vehicles in driving performance. Because they are all new energy architectures and the three electric vehicles they are equipped with. Galaxy E8 comes from the SEA pure electric architecture, with a 50:50 axle-to-load ratio and a stable motion factor implanted in it. The Elk tested 82km h, Geely said it surpassed the Porsche 911 and Taycan, third in the world, 5The turning radius of 62 meters, the vertical frequency of "the same frequency of people and vehicles", does not dizzy when driving, and the standard GCS comfort braking system ......These make for a good driving experience.
New energy vehicles continue to break the application limitations in intelligent driving, Galaxy adopts "solid-state lidar", ultra-wide viewing angle and ultra-long ranging, and variable zoom "gaze" function to improve safety. At the same time, Galaxy Smart Driving 20, is a set of high-end intelligent driving solutions focusing on "urban commuting NOA", which will be the first to be used on the Galaxy E8 intelligent driving version this year.
The Galaxy E8 was launched, Geely also revealed that its self-developed new generation of 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive and distributed wheel side electric drive can also realize "tank U-turn", and new formula battery technology will be installed on Geely Galaxy's new products.
The second is effective charging and battery life. Now more and more car companies are competing for charging methods, energy replenishment efficiency, and whether there is 800V, Galaxy E8 does not blindly cater to it, but responds separately. The platform architecture of the current car is malleable, and it can be used to make models with different needs according to needs, and the same is true of the Galaxy's SEA architecture, so on the Galaxy E8, not only compete with 800V, but also 400V to meet different groups of people, and the Galaxy E8 four-wheel drive performance version is the first 800V four-wheel drive pure electric car in the mainstream market, with a motor power of 475kW and only 3 for 000 accelerationIn 49 seconds, it also has 800V fast flash charging, which can last 180km in 5 minutes.
The third is the level of intelligence. GalaxyE8The cockpit may be very "bluffing" as soon as you enter, the center console will feel like your entire line of sight is "wrapped",This is45inch8KThe unbounded wisdom screen,Geely said that it is currently in the car"The largest、The clearest"The central control screen,This can indeed please young people who like games、Chasing dramas、Watching blockbusters。 About this screen,Ganjia read for a long time,Including resolution、Glare rate、Reflectivity, etc.,In short, the level of science and technology is very high,You can experience it,I won't repeat it here。
No matter how good the big screen is, it is inseparable from computing power, Galaxy E8 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, equipped with Galaxy NOS unbounded version of the car machine system, both Flyme Link mobile phone domain + Meizu mobile phone brain brought by Meizu mobile phone, and Geely Star Wisdom Computing Center empowered by the "super cloud brain" responsible for communicating with you.
Don't look at the support for flyme link, it is very easy to use, it can be connected with the car machine without feeling, WeChat, navigation and other applications, as well as functions such as brushing Douyin, shopping on Weibo, and playing games.
In this way, the smart cockpit can do whatever it wants, and Geely has also brought the ability of the AI large model to the Galaxy E8, and the AI voice "can be 0.."23S fast response, full-time wake-up free, full-screen visible can be spoken, up to 15 instructions can be issued in a sentence, and multiple people in the whole car can be supported to talk at the same time. It's certainly a joy in practice.
It's hard to talk about these features in detail, it's all about the experience. With so many functions, it's no wonder that the galaxy E8 has made such a large integrated clear smart screen. It can be said that the car has completely become a travel and entertainment facility.
