Since its official debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show last month, the friends around me have been discussing the new model of Galaxy E8, which is the same as the million-level Lotus eletre, not only has a good look, but also has a number of "world's first" and "world's first" highlights that are amazing, which also makes it a topic of conversation.
At present, the first batch of new Geely Galaxy E8 cars have been delivered to flagship experience centers in key cities across the country such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and they have also experienced this flagship model at the Geely Galaxy Experience Center in Beijing Jingchengyue.
The appearance is destined to become the flagship of the family
For most people, liking a car, generally starts with appearance, trapped in configuration, and finally performance, this Galaxy E8 obviously understands the hearts of consumers. When you see the actual car, the most exciting thing is the coupe shape of the new car.
The new car's low-lying nose, streamlined bodywork, and fastback roof shape create a strong coupe body style, which, combined with the protruding shoulders and muscular waistline, looks elegant and sporty. At the same time, the new car also adopts some modern and stylish design languages such as frameless doors, hidden door handles, and low-drag wheels.
What's more, in addition to the appearance against the sky, according to the official introduction, the Galaxy E8 has 0The ultra-low drag coefficient of 199 CD is by far the best among production models, not only far lower than the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model S, NIO ET5 and other models, but also lower than the Porsche Taycan, which is really surprising.
Of course, in addition to a "slippery" ecstasy, the front face and rear buttocks of the new car also have many highlights.
The front face adopts the "ripple of light" rhythm grille, which sounds particularly familiar?Because it is an upgrade and evolution of Geely's "Water Drop Ripple" design language. According to the official introduction, it is currently the world's first mass-produced integrated luminous front face: it has a luminous matrix composed of 158 windows, and it is equipped with a microporous laser engraving luminous patented technology, which can present a rich luminous effect such as welcome and farewell, left and right flowing water, jumping flowing water, and ** show (luminous area reaches 0.).105㎡）。At the same time, even the 6-square, rhythmic luminous brand logo also has functions such as welcoming and sending off guests.
The rear buttocks are definitely indispensable for the through-type taillights, which are not only very cool when lit, but also support dynamic welcome and farewell functions. In the official context, this three-section taillight design also has a profound meaning of "the sun rises". Coupled with the exaggerated silver skid plate and diffuser design at the rear, it also gives the new car a strong sporty atmosphere.
Nearly 3 meters wheelbase, plenty of riding space
When you see the actual car, you will also find another ingenious design of the Galaxy E8, the new car not only has a slender and elegant body, its short front and rear overhang design and perfect proportions, but also gives the Galaxy E8 a large luxury sedan atmosphere, and makes the new car ride space appear very spacious.
The length, width and height of the new car are 5010 1920 1465mm, and the wheelbase is 2925mm, positioning it as a medium and large sedan. Sitting in the car, you will feel the space experience given by the Galaxy E8, which is indeed surprising. With a length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, it is almost on par with mainstream C-segment executive sedans. In fact, the Galaxy E8 is also the only product in the current B-class pure electric sedan with a length of more than 5 meters.
The extra-long wheelbase, coupled with the panoramic canopy design, is not untransparent and spacious - even if the front seats are adjusted to a backward stretch state, the rear passengers can still easily lift their legs, and its rear space should be said to be the most spacious in its class.
At the same time, the new car is also equipped with 4D zero-pressure cloud comfortable seats, the filling materials and shapes of the seats are also optimized for the standard body of the Chinese people, the passenger seat also supports lying flat and the "boss key" function, the rear seat also supports ventilation and heating, the second row of the right rear seat supports welcome mode and electric adjustment, etc., coupled with fine quilting technology and honest interior materials, the actual riding experience is also very comfortable.
45 inchesThe large screen is equipped with leading intelligent functions
In the car, in addition to the luxurious space, the Galaxy E8 is equipped with a front cabin that is even more amazing. The center console is equipped with a 45-inch through-type giant large screen, which integrates the three large screens of full LCD instrument + central control screen + co-pilot entertainment screen. It is worth mentioning that this is also the world's first mass production model equipped with a 45-inch 8K unbounded screen.
This huge large screen is as long as 1157 meters, the effective display size has reached 1130mm*138mm, its width is the widest in the current production model, and its optimized aspect ratio and placement angle can allow the driver to maintain a maximum wide viewing angle of 88 ° when looking at the screen. At the same time, this huge large screen also has a true 8K ultra-clear resolution, reaching a quasi-retina-level pixel density, one level ahead of the industry.
What's more, according to the official introduction, this large screen will also be equipped with the current top Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 flagship cockpit chip, as well as a new car machine system. The 8295 chip uses 5nm process technology, the GPU 3D rendering performance is 3 times higher than that of the 8155, the GPU is 2 times higher, and the AI computing power is a terrifying 30TOPS, which is 7 of the 8155 chip5 times, one chip can drive 11 screens, which is not a level at all.
It is worth mentioning that the new car machine system is also very intelligent, with tens of billions of parameters-level large model intelligent empowerment, as well as the empowerment of some artificial intelligence products. This also makes it not only have a full-scene AI intelligent voice interaction function, but also supports the voice function outside the car, so you can also communicate and control it outside the car, which is very intelligent.
In the actual experience, this large screen also has excellent practical performance such as anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, waterproof, and dustproof. And the larger size, higher precision, but also make it a new improvement in the functional experience, and even support mobile phones or handles (in the P mode) directly connected to play games, this kind of full-scene entertainment experience across smart terminals, directly the immersive interaction of the intelligent cockpit is fully expected.
Pioneer Power can commute or indulge in the landscape
The Galaxy E8 is based on Geely Group's SEA vast architecture, and is the first pure electric sedan of the Geely brand born on this architecture. The SEA architecture not only supports 800V high-voltage overcharging, but also is equipped with SiC high-performance electric drive system, high-performance pure electric chassis, and a 50:50 front and rear weight ratio. The safety of the whole vehicle meets the global five-star, and the safety of the three electric vehicles exceeds international standards. These inherently good foundations are destined to have an excellent level of Geely Galaxy E8.
In terms of power, the Galaxy E8 provides two drive versions: rear single motor and front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of the single-motor version is 200 kW, and the maximum power of the dual-motor version is 475 kW. Due to the shortage of cars on display in stores, the road test drive could not be carried out. However, according to official data, the top speed of the new car can reach 200kmh, and the 0-100kmh acceleration time of the four-wheel drive version is only 349 seconds, almost comparable to a supercar model.
In terms of handling, thanks to the professional supercar-level handling and tuning team, the Galaxy E8 ran a maximum of 82km h in the high-speed elk test, which is also a very leading level in the industry. At the same time, the new car also has 5With a minimum turning radius of 62 meters and a minimum braking distance of 35 meters, this is also excellent for a medium to large sedan.
The new car will be equipped with a 76kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, with an all-electric range of 665km in CLTC mode. At the same time, the Galaxy E8 is also equipped with an 800-volt supercharging system, with a charging power of 360kW, which can achieve a range of 180km in 5 minutes, which can meet the daily commute and forget the landscape.
Recently, Geely Galaxy E8 has also obtained the first domestic six-dimensional electrical safety system certification No. 001 certificate issued by China Automotive Technology and Research Center, which also makes the Galaxy E8 the first new energy model to pass the system certification.
According to the official plan, this has a number of "world's first" and "world's first" highlight models, which will be officially launched next month, and according to sources, the price of the new car is close enough to the people, or it will be in the range of 250,000-300,000, for an executive pure electric flagship sedan with the same origin as the million-level Lotus eletre, its competitiveness is undoubtedly very strong.
