In the B-class pure electric car market, the Geely Galaxy E8, which is full of all dimensions, is undoubtedly a disruptor. On December 16, Geely Galaxy E8 officially opened global pre-sale. The new car is available in 550km Pro, 550km Max, 665km Starship Voyage Edition, 665km Starship Intelligent Driving Version, and 620km Starship Performance Edition, with a pre-sale price of 18From 80,000 yuan. It is reported that the new car will be officially launched and delivered in January 2024.
18.The pre-sale price of 80,000 yuan has undoubtedly lowered the threshold of B-class pure electric cars again. For reference, the starting price of BYD Han is $18980,000 yuan;Zhijie S7 is 24980,000 yuan;Xpeng P7 is 20990,000 yuan;The Star Era ES is 2480,000 yuan. In addition to **, compared with competing products of the same level, Galaxy E8 also has obvious advantages in cockpit, power performance, safety and other product strength.
The first is the cockpit,Geely Galaxy E8Equipped with45Inch8K integrated large screen,The screen has won many firsts in its class:Screen size first,Clarity first,Light and thin first,Screen-to-body ratio first98。 At the same time, the car machine system has a built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, and the AI computing power reaches 30TOPS, which is 8 times higher than that of 8155. In addition, the Geely Galaxy E8 is equipped with the Galaxy N OS Unbounded Edition, which provides an intelligent voice interaction system with a response time of 023 seconds.
In terms of power, the Geely Galaxy E8 also outperforms its competitors, with a maximum power of 475kW (165kW + 310kW) and a maximum torque of 710N·m. In comparison, the BYD Han EV has a maximum power of 380 kW and a maximum torque of 700 NmThe Tesla Model 3 has a maximum power of 357kW and a maximum torque of 659NmThe Porsche Taycan GTS has a maximum power of 300 kW and a maximum torque of 345 Nm. In addition, based on Geely's silicon carbide electronic control technology, the Geely Galaxy E8 has a range of 5-10% higher than the previous generation, providing three ranges of 550km, 665km and 620km under CLTC conditions.
In terms of performance, based on the Geely SEA architecture and the empowerment of high-performance silicon carbide electric drive, the Geely Galaxy E8 only needs 3 percent acceleration from zero to 100In 49 seconds, the top speed is 210 km h, and the elk score is as high as 82 kmh. In addition, although the Geely Galaxy E8 is more than 5 meters long, its turning radius is only 562m, the smallest in its class.
It is worth mentioning that in terms of energy replenishment, which consumers are more anxious about, the 800V model of Geely Galaxy E8 has a much higher energy replenishment rate than that of similar models, reaching 180km in 5 minutes of charging. As a comparison, the ideal mega can be charged for 12 minutes and can be charged by 500km;The Porsche Taycan can be charged in 15 minutes and can be recharged to 400kmThe Audi Q6 e-tron can be charged for 10 minutes and can be charged for 250 km. In addition, the maximum charging power of the car can reach 360kW under limited conditions, which is more than twice that of competing products.
In terms of safety, with the blessing of Aegis battery, a new generation of BMS battery management system, and Geely Star Smart Computing Center's 7*24-hour monitoring, Geely Galaxy E8 is known as "the safest 5-meter pure electric model". In terms of structural safety, the Geely Galaxy E8 is equipped with an integrated boron steel door knocker, a ten-square battery anti-collision compartment, a "dragonfly" force transmission structure, and a co-pilot flying airbag as standard. And the car body-in-white lightweight coefficient is as low as 174. The utilization rate of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy is 803%, all of which are leading in the same class. The torsional rigidity of the 41,000N·m DEG body far exceeds that of luxury cars in the same class.
With such a "luxurious" configuration + cost performance, Geely Galaxy E8 seems to be copying the way the Emgrand series of cars played. Emgrand car series, with its superior product power and first-class advantages, has fought its way out in the A-class sedan market, which has been monopolized by joint venture brands for a long time. According to the latest data, the Geely Emgrand family sold 23,426 units in November, a year-on-year increase of 11%, with cumulative sales of more than 3.76 million units since its launch, and has sold more than 10,000 units in 144 months. And can the Geely Galaxy E8 break out of the encirclement in the market segment like the Emgrand series of cars?Time will tell.
With the arrival of Geely Galaxy E8, it will undoubtedly boost the development of the Galaxy series and the growth of Geely New Energy at the end of the year. At the same time, it may open up a greater imagination space for the Geely Galaxy series in 2024. At present, the Geely Galaxy series has two models on sale, the compact SUV Galaxy L7 and the compact sedan Galaxy L6, both of which have achieved good results. Among them, the cumulative sales of the Galaxy L7 in the six months on the market were nearly 60,000 unitsThe sales volume of the Galaxy L6 has continued to climb for more than two months after its launch, with a month-on-month increase of 42% in October and a month-on-month increase of 21% in November. With the help of the two cars, the Galaxy delivery speed broke the record: from 0 to 70,000, in only 6 months. Up to now, the average price of Galaxy series bicycles has exceeded 160,000 yuan.
For Geely New Energy, Geely Galaxy E8 may increase Geely New Energy to help Geely New Energy launch a higher annual sales target next year. At the beginning of the year, Geely set an annual sales target of 650,000 units in the field of new energy, but based on the sales volume in the first 11 months, there is still a certain distance from achieving the target. However, a good phenomenon this year is that Geely Automobile's strategy for the transformation to new energy has gradually become clear, especially in brand planning, and the positioning and division of labor of each brand have also been clarified. Among them, ZEEKR mainly focuses on the luxury electric vehicle market;Lynk & Co focuses on the mid-to-high-end new energy market of joint ventures;The Geely brand mainly covers the mass electric vehicle and new energy marketsAs a new series just launched this year, Geely Galaxy will focus on mid-to-high-end new energy series.
According to the latest data, Geely Automobile's new energy sales in November reached 65,034 units, achieving a record high for four consecutive months, an increase of about 5% from October this year and an increase of about 88% from the same period last year. And all brands have achieved an increase in sales. With the launch of highly competitive new energy products such as the Geely Galaxy E8 next year, Geely may bring surprises in the field of new energy.
