175,800 Galaxy E8 + 209,900 Extreme Krypton 007, don't leave a way for Xiaomi SU7 to live?

I thought that the 209,900-starting sale of Extreme Krypton 007 was ruthless enough, but I didn't expect that a more ruthless move was still to come.

On January 5, Geely Galaxy's first pure electric medium and large sedan Galaxy E8 was officially launched, with a price of 175,800-228,800 yuan, a decrease of 13,000 yuan compared with the pre-sale price. At the same time, users who set before January 31 can also enjoy the expansion gift of 2,000 to 8,000 yuan, which means that the starting price directly kills 169,800.

Geely's operation is not only ruthless, but also ruthless and even beats itself. Because just a week ago, the pure electric mid-size sedan Zeekrypton 007, which was also built for the vast architecture, had just been launched at a starting price of 209,900 yuan. Now the price of Galaxy E8 175,800 yuan has been announced, which not only shocks the body of competing products such as Model 3, Zhijie S7, Xiaomi SU7, etc., but even his brother Krypton 007 has to wipe a sweat.

The starting price of 175,800 yuan to buy a medium and large sedan with a pure electric range of 550 kilometers is not without this price before the Galaxy E8, but it is really rare to have such a volume as the Galaxy E8.

The price of 175,800-228,800 yuan, Galaxy E8 gives you a length of more than 5 meters, a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, and the overall circle is larger than that of Extreme Krypton 007, so it also brings a practical large space that is more in line with the needs of families. The key is that the Galaxy E8 has achieved a turning radius comparable to that of a medium-sized car in terms of the size of a medium-sized car, and the drag coefficient is as low as 0.199Cd, second only to the 0.195Cd of Xiaomi SU7, bringing more flexible handling.

In terms of three electrics, among the five models of the Galaxy E8, only the top-of-the-line four-wheel drive performance version adopts a high-performance silicon carbide electric drive and an 800V high-voltage platform, which can last 180 kilometers in 5 minutes of charging. The dual motors have a power of 475 kW, and it accelerates from zero to 100 in 3.49 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h. The other four configurations are all 400V models, equipped with rear-wheel drive permanent magnet synchronous motors, with a maximum power of 200kW, and can accelerate from zero to 100 in 5.95 seconds.

In terms of battery, the Galaxy E8 is equipped with three battery capacities: 62 degrees, 76 degrees, and 75.6 degrees, while the Extreme Krypton 007 starts with a 75.6 degree battery, and the high configuration is 100 degrees. It can be seen that the difference in the three electrics is probably the key reason why the larger Galaxy E8 can achieve a lower price than the Extreme Krypton 007. It can also be seen that unlike the distinctive sports attributes of Extreme Krypton 007, the Galaxy E8 will be inclined to home use in terms of power.

However, it should be reminded that although the Galaxy E8 has a weaker battery life than the Zeekrypton 007, it still has obvious advantages over the popular competitors of the same level, the Han EV.

In Geely's intelligent product power that has been complained about by users,GalaxyE8This time it also gave enough sincerity,Directly the whole system is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon8295chip and a 45-inch8K unbounded smart screen;The galaxy used in the softwareNOS unbounded version of the car machine system,Although it was not possible to use the Flyme Auto car machine like Lynk & Co08,But for the first time, the same Meizu Flyme Link driver interconnection of Lynk & Co08 was introduced。

In particular, it is worth mentioning that,GalaxyE8It also realizedAIThe ability of large models to get on the car,"AiVoice"0.23sExtremely fast response,Full-time wake-up free、Full screen can be seen,Whether it is the smoothness and intelligence of the car machine, I believe that it will achieve a qualitative improvement compared with previous models。

In terms of intelligent driving, the Galaxy E8 (only the intelligent driving version) adopts the self-developed Galaxy Intelligent Driving 2.0 system, equipped with 5 millimeter wave radars, 1 lidar, which can achieve high-speed and urban pilot assisted driving, of which the urban NOA function will be delivered in public beta within this year.

It can be seen that in the second half of this intelligence, Geely Galaxy is also soberly aware of the reality, and is now trying to follow up the pace of the first echelon of the market. However, the final landing of the intelligent driving strength still needs to be further verified by users.

For the pricing strategy of Galaxy E8, an industry insider said: "From the pricing of Extreme Krypton 007 to Galaxy E8 listed and announced one after another, it can be seen that Geely Group should have set up a military order: you can't leave a way for Xiaomi SU7." But Yang Xueliang, vice president of Geely Holdings, made it clear that "there is no such military order, only fighting for high user value."

Looking at the whole press conference,It can indeed be seen,GalaxyE8It is not a blind low-cost volume king,It has its own clear value proposition。 As a latecomer, the Galaxy E8 is more aware of the lack of product power in the current pure electric B-class sedan market and better understands the needs of consumers.

As Geely's vision and mission says - "to build a good car that people can afford", and what Geely Galaxy E8 wants to do is this pure electric medium and large family sedan that ordinary people can afford to buy and use well.

It is foreseeable that with the launch of the Galaxy E8, a new battle will be launched in the entire B-class car market.
