Write at the end
As the most purchased market segment by mass consumers, the B-class sedan has always been a constant dispute, and the release of the Geely Galaxy E8 can be said to have refreshed consumers' perception of the product in many projects, combined with 18The pre-sale of 80,000 yuan**, presumably until it is actually listed, I am afraid that even the status of veteran players like BYD Han EV will not be guaranteed. At the same time, there are also the newly released Zhijie S7 and FAW-Volkswagen ID7 Vizzion, etc., it is difficult to win an advantage over Geely Galaxy E8 in terms of product power. In short, the Geely Galaxy E8 is indeed a dark horse in the B-segment car market for now, and whether the sales can have a miracle depends on the final pricing of the manufacturer. What do you think?
