Less than 180,000 sales, more "volume" than Extreme Krypton 007, Geely Galaxy E8 can become the dark horse of the year?
In the new energy vehicle track, today's domestic brands can be said to have achieved "corner overtaking" over joint venture brands, and their market share and user recognition are increasing day by day. However, in the field of pure electric B-class sedans, the best-selling is still the Tesla Model 3. For this market segment, Geely Galaxy officially released the pure electric flagship - Galaxy E8, with a price range of 175,800-228,800 yuan. The new car has attracted a lot of attention, I don't know if it can be promoted to the dark horse of the year after a lot of strength and price?
At the beginning, pure electric models brought consumers a sense of freshness with futuristic designs such as closed front faces, but the homogenization of products in the market is serious, and new cars with different brands but similar appearances will inevitably make consumers aesthetically fatigued. However, in terms of appearance, the galaxy E8 is still quite eye-catching.
The new car highly restores the design of the Galaxy Light concept car, known as the world's first mass-produced one-piece luminous front face, coupled with large fastback body, frameless doors, through-type taillights and other trendy elements, the vehicle presents a cutting-edge, sporty temperament, and the aerodynamic design also reduces the wind resistance to 0.199cd. In addition, the length, width and height of the new car are 5010/1920/1465mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2925mm.
When it comes to the interior of electric models, the first thing that comes to mind for many people must be the iconic element of "big screen", and Galaxy E8 is also working hard in this regard. At first glance, though, the 45-inch all-in-one screen is a pleasant surprise, and it complements the suede-embellished interior to create a very simple, high-tech atmosphere.
In fact, all-in-one screens are not uncommon, but like the galaxyE8, an effective display length of 1.13 meters, a large screen with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 98%, at least in the current market, it is still difficult to find comparable competitors. Although Byton cars have been equipped with a large 48-inch screen, they have not been mass-produced, and other brand models have horizontal screens, but they are not integrated screens...... In short,45Inch large screen with Qualcomm Snapdragon8295chip,Claimed to be able to make full use of the entire screen to play games,Intelligent experience is believed to be a major selling point of the galaxyE8。
The Galaxy E8 is based on Geely's SEA architecture, and supports high-performance SiC silicon carbide electric drive system, four-wheel independent suspension, high-performance four-wheel drive, 800V high-voltage fast charging and other configurations and functions, so it has good competitiveness in terms of power burst and energy replenishment efficiency.
Judging from the data, in addition to the drag coefficient of 0.199cd, the Galaxy E8 accelerates to 100 kilometers in only 3.49 seconds, the minimum turning radius is 5.62m, the CLTC pure electric range is 550-665km, and the maximum power of the dual-motor version is 475kW and the peak torque is 710N·m. According to the test of the world-renowned automotive media "KM77", the Galaxy E8 has achieved an excellent result of 82km/h in the elk test.
It can be said that,Judging from the product power revealed so far,GalaxyE8In terms of appearance、Interior、Performance、Platform and other aspects are remarkable。 At the same time, the Geely brand is strong, after all, it is still the first echelon among domestic brands, with a solid user base, and its brand influence and appeal should not be underestimated. However, as a latecomer to the market, the Galaxy E8 has to compete head-on with independent players such as BYD Seal DM-i and even Han EV on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is not an easy task to transform the user groups of mainstream joint venture traditional fuel vehicles.
From the price point of view, the starting price of the Galaxy E8's brother model Zeekrypton 007 is 209,900 yuan, and the price range of competing products such as BYD Han EV is 219,800-331,800 yuan, so the Galaxy E8 gives a starting price of 175,800 yuan, which is still quite attractive. In addition, the new car has launched a total of 5 versions, and the price of the high-end model is 228,800, which not only lowers the entry threshold and is conducive to volume, but also conforms to the mid-to-high-end positioning.
Of course, the Geely Galaxy E8 is not a smooth road ahead. The first is the brand factor, although Geely is also a mainstream manufacturer, the popularity and influence of the Galaxy brand are still not as good as Tesla, BYD and other bigwigs, and even inferior to the homologous Zeekr. Secondly, the E8's all-electric range, although the data is also good, does not have outstanding advantages. In addition, as a family model, the Galaxy E8 has a relatively average rear space and a relatively short seat cushion. Perhaps limited by factors such as brand, cost and space arrangement, the Galaxy E8 is not equipped with front double wishbone suspension, which is a small pity.
In general, the current B-class car market is still dominated by joint venture vehicles and fuel vehicles, and the penetration rate of independent new energy products is low, and the segment of pure electric B-class vehicles is still promising. Under the slogan of "building high-end new energy vehicles of Geely brand", Galaxy E8 as the backbone of the new intelligent electric product series, has been given high hopes, and has also been supported by a series of resources, which can be called "hexagonal warriors", and will compete side by side with Zeekrypton 007 in the market, or is expected to drive a new round of "involution" in the B-class pure electric car market, what do you think?
