Geely Galaxy L7, this hot "dark horse"! It is like a carp jumping through the dragon gate, getting rid of the predicament, making people look at it sideways. On October 15th, the 50,000th new car went online! In just 4 months, the Geely Galaxy L7 completed this feat, which is really super-fast. This is not only a new milestone for Geely Galaxy, but also a new speed and benchmark for China's new energy. It seems that this dark horse is really a right-hand man in China's new energy market!
As you remember, on the day of Geely Galaxy launch in February this year, competitors sent blessings and put up posters to cheer up. This kind of borrowing marketing has only been seen in BBA before! No matter whether they are out of help or ridicule, in short, this lively scene has given a touch of light to the deserted car market.
However, Geely Galaxy was also affected by the question "Does China's new energy market still need a new brand?" at the beginning of its release. This is the "necessary path" that every new brand must go through. We have to note that Geely Galaxy is not a brand new brand, it is just a new energy series under Geely, just like BYD's Ocean series.
At the beginning, Geely officially introduced that the Galaxy series was divided into two product series, the intelligent electric hybrid L series and the intelligent pure electric E series, both of which adopted the Geely Galaxy intelligent "electric hybrid" architecture. The Smart Hybrid L series covers A0 to Class B smart hybrid products, while the L7 is the first model of the Galaxy Smart Hybrid L series.
As soon as the Galaxy L7 was born, Geely took out the chips of "technology ALL IN" and injected its own achievements directly into it. Raytheon Hybrid 8848, Aegis Battery Safety System, Star Wise Computing Center, new vehicle operating system Galaxy N OS, e-CMA global modular architecture... Various cutting-edge new energy technologies developed by Geely have supported Geely Galaxy L7's confidence in surpassing 300,000-level luxury experience. These results are eye-catching, and Geely Galaxy L7 looks confident in the fierce confrontation with competitors in the market segment.
Up to now, the Galaxy L7, which has been on the market for only four months, has sold more than 40,000 units, exceeding 10,000 sales for three consecutive months. Just this past September, the overall sales of Geely Galaxy series reached 13,000 units, an increase of 13% month-on-month, and reached a new high. As a "new player" who only entered the high-end new energy market in the second quarter of this year, Geely Galaxy used its comprehensive strength to show the world the "Galaxy Offensive".
The hot sales of Galaxy L7 are not only because of the excellent product strength, but also related to the continuous improvement of the plug-in hybrid market. As early as last year, industry experts predicted that 2023 would be a big year for hybridization. Sure enough, sales of plug-in hybrid models are growing faster this year than pure electric models.
According to data from the Passenger Association, from January to September this year, the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles reached 6.278 million units, a year-on-year increase of 37.5%, and the market share reached 29.8%. Among them, sales of pure electric vehicles were 4.468 million units, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%, while sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles reached 1.807 million units, a year-on-year increase of 83%. Although the overall sales volume of hybrid models is only 40% of that of pure electric models, the growth rate is 3.33 times that of pure electric models.
In the face of such a potential hybrid market, many car companies such as Geely and Great Wall have entered the market. Geely launched the Galaxy series, and Great Wall Motor also launched the "Dragon" series; Independent brands such as Hongqi and Chery have also launched corresponding hybrid technology platforms. In addition, the joint venture brand is not to be outdone. FAW Toyota recently released technologies such as the fifth-generation intelligent hybrid engine THS II, and launched the Corolla 1.8L intelligent hybrid engine version; Guangqi Honda also launched the new Accord e:PHEV version. It seems that the joint venture brand is also trying to cater to the trend change of China's auto market.
In this environment, Geely Galaxy has also accelerated the launch of new models. On September 16, Geely Galaxy's second model, the Galaxy L6, was officially launched, with a starting price of CNY 115,800. This is also the first plug-in hybrid sedan under Geely Galaxy. It is understood that the Geely Galaxy series will also launch 5 new intelligent boutique electric products such as Geely Galaxy E8 at the same "Galaxy speed".
From the first car rolling off the production line, to more than 40,000 user authentications, to the 50,000th new car rolling off the production line, Geely's rapid development is truly amazing. It not only has a mature and leading intelligent new energy system, but also shows the determination and confidence to comprehensively transform to new and accelerate transformation. It is foreseeable that with the launch of the new Geely Galaxy series, the Geely brand will surely move to a new height again.
Whoosh! China's new energy market, now with the rise of Geely Galaxy, can be described as thriving. It is true that the success of Geely Galaxy is inseparable from the vigorous development of the plug-in hybrid market. This market, like a vast river and lake, all kinds of heroes gather in it, you come and go, fight against each other, it can be said that thousands of troops cross a single wooden bridge! However, just as the so-called "Tianxingjian, gentleman with self-improvement", Geely Galaxy has become a leader in this land by virtue of its own strength, galloping and taking the lead.
Geein, Geely Galaxy not only has excellent product strength, but also brings consumers a driving experience that exceeds expectations with its own advanced technology. It is a dark horse that is not afraid of hardships and dangers, galloping between the markets and achieving great success. At the same time, the rise of Geely Galaxy has also stimulated the fighting spirit of other car companies, making the entire Chinese new energy market full of vitality.
Success is just the starting point, Geely Galaxy still needs to continue to work hard and innovate to maintain its leading position. We look forward to the launch of Geely Galaxy series of new products, which we believe will surely bring more surprises to consumers." As the ancients said: "Water drops and stones pierce, ropes sawn wood breaks", as long as you have firm faith, you can overcome any difficulty. Geely Galaxy, come on! Let's witness the take-off of China's new energy market together!
