"Car Matrix" industry: Geely, which has been in the limelight in the era of fuel vehicles, once lagged behind in the layout of new energy, although it tentatively launched a number of new energy brands such as Geometry, Maple Leaf, Extreme Krypton, Polestar, etc., but most of them showed failure, and this continuous "trial and error" method is completely similar to that in the era of fuel vehicles. Geely through continuous research and development tests to launch new models on the market, if the model can be accepted by the market then will be vigorously promoted, on the contrary, if not recognized by the market immediately dismounted, timely stop loss, this pure commercial operation mode for Geely to play handy, after all, its main components of the homogeneity is high, model brand and word of mouth precipitation is extremely low, the people will not remember it, not like Volkswagen Passat such models are well known, Therefore, Geely has rapidly achieved rapid growth through continuous experimentation to launch models suitable for market selling points, coupled with the existence of Volvo factors, all of which have enabled Geely to quickly enter the top of domestic independent car companies.
After geometry, maple leaf and other new energy brands were not recognized by the market and were miserably "Waterloo", smart Geely people began to find another way to "create" new brands, Geely new energy new energy brand "Galaxy" that has recently been on the hot search is another new energy masterpiece of Geely, some netizens speculate that the name of the brand has the intention of "looking up" with the help of friendly BYD's high-end new energy brand, "looking up to the galaxy" can be described as catchy and well-known, and has not yet been released has been hyped The popularity is extremely high. For the Galaxy brand's first model L7 is more concerned, then at the new car press conference, the most important key information officially announced is that the car is equipped with a three-speed DHT+1.5T Raytheon hybrid special engine, the total power of the system is 287KW, and the CLTC comprehensive cruising range is 1370km. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip and adopts the new Galaxy N OS vehicle system. Only from the appearance of the Galaxy L7 is absolutely good-looking, people will like it at a glance, which is in line with the consistent style of Geely design, from the perspective of competitors, Galaxy L7 is benchmarked against BYD Tang DM-i, we all know that the latter for BYD's contribution is not as good as Song Plus PHEV, but in the field of mid-size SUV is the best, both from the performance and word of mouth have excellent performance, so as a compact SUV Galaxy L7 and not a class of models to make imaginary enemies?
From a technical point of view, BYD Tang DM-i is equipped with Xiaoyun 1.5T plug-in hybrid engine + motor composed of power combination, the battery uses the world's leading blade battery, this set of powertrain is equipped in most of BYD's models, and BYD blade battery in the needle comparison with ternary lithium battery, ordinary lithium iron phosphate battery, blade battery performance is very good, in terms of safety can almost reach the top level, endurance of more than 1000KM; The Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with Geely Thor hybrid system for 1.5TD hybrid special three-cylinder engine with 3-speed hybrid special transmission, the biggest advantage of this combination is fuel saving, three-cylinder engine fuel consumption itself is low, in the high-pressure direct injection, supercharged intercooling, deep Miller cycle and low-pressure EGR and other technologies greatly improve thermal efficiency, but the shortcomings are also very fatal, noise and vibration problems are obvious, greatly affect the driving comfort experience of the whole vehicle.
With the release of Geely Galaxy brand and its first model L7, Geely's competitive layout is very obvious, the explosive growth of domestic new energy leading car company BYD makes Geely, which is also an independent car company, "slap its thigh", obviously Geely after a series of "trial and error" brands, the newly released Galaxy brand is more grounded, aiming at the family model market, Geely that has experienced the failure of new energy this time, in the later Galaxy brand may launch electric models, the early Galaxy L7 is almost "referenced" BYD's style of play comes, I hope this time do not become a victim of "trial and error", Geely Galaxy, are you optimistic about it?
