These two cars are really needle-to-point, they were just launched in January, and they are all popular in the New Year. They are both important strategic new cars of the two companies, and the Star Era ES directly opened a new car series of Chery, which is also a big move that Chery has been holding back for a long time. What about the Galaxy E8, according to the words of a friend of a Geely manufacturer: it is the real first new car of the Galaxy brand! Of course, more importantly, their pricing is too rolly, the starting price of less than 200,000 yuan, buy a 5-meter electric sedan armed to the teeth, put it two years ago, do you dare to think?

So how do you choose between them? Or from the outside to the inside, both cars are the mainstream front faces of the current trams. Galaxy E8 is a "Danfeng Eye" with a closed front end, and the Star Era ES is a through-type light ring, but there is a large area of grille design, plus an LED panel that looks like an air intake, which is a bit of a tribute to the taste of traditional performance cars. At the rear, both of them have large slip-back and through-type taillights, and there is nothing to say about the current main trend. The aesthetics are different, you just like it, as far as I'm concerned, I think the front face of the Star Era ES is more impressive, and the aura is stronger.

The size of the two cars is very close, the Galaxy E8 is longer, more than 5 meters long, and the Star Era ES is 4945mm. But the width of the latter is nearly 58mm more, and the wheelbase is also 75mm longer, which is exactly 3 meters, so the rear space of the Star Era ES will have a slight advantage, but the difference is really small. And as a C-segment size sedan, both of them are really completely large enough, and this basically does not need to be considered.

What about the car,GalaxyE8This 45-inch ultra-long through screen is really shocking!In comparison,Although the Star Era ES also gave a 15.6-inch large central control suspension screen,But it is much inferior。 And with the blessing of the 8295 chip, coupled with the help behind Meizu, Geely's car machine system is also more powerful.

However, there is also something to complain about, that is, it does not support CarPlay, which is not as open and pragmatic as Star Era. In the interior, you can see that the workmanship design and materials are very good, which is also the advantage of Chinese brands now, in comparison, I personally think that the details and materials of the Star Era ES will be richer and more detailed, and the sense of grade in the car will be a little stronger.

Then there is the most critical price configuration for car buyers, first of all, at the entry price, the Galaxy E8 is cheaper. The starting price of 185,800 yuan is 13,000 yuan lower than that of the New Era ES, and the configuration parameters are very close, all of them are lithium iron phosphate batteries in their early 60s, and they are all 550km theoretical endurance. The power is also a rear single motor,Here the power of the galaxyE8 is slightly larger than that of the star era,The difference in acceleration results is more obvious,The star era ES is 7.5 seconds,Galaxy E8 can be within 6 seconds。

Then, if you are very concerned about battery life, you can buy a long-range single-motor version of the Galaxy E8 76-degree battery for 198,800 yuan, with a range of 665 kilometers. The long battery life of the New Era ES is close to 270,000 yuan, but its battery is larger and close to 80 degrees, and it is a ternary lithium battery, with a theoretical range of more than 700 kilometers. Of course, it also has a compromise standard PLUS version, 66 degrees of battery, the range can reach 600 kilometers, but the price is more than 210,000, which has no advantage over the galaxy E8.

If you are very concerned about power and performance, and want to buy a dual-motor "chicken blood version", the starship performance version of the new Galaxy E8 can accelerate to 3.49 seconds. And the price is not expensive, 228,800, if I buy the Galaxy E8, I will definitely choose this version.

The dual-motor version of the Star Era is also fierce, with an acceleration of 3.7 seconds, but the price reaches 339,800 yuan. Of course, the car is not only fast and strong, why is the Star Era more expensive? Because it is equipped with air suspension + CDC electromagnetic active suspension as standard. This is very powerful, within 300,000, I can't think of anything else, which is very important for the driving quality and handling of the car, including comfort.

So, if you want to balance performance and value for money, you can still pay attention to the MAX+ version. Although it is a single motor, the acceleration of 5.6 seconds is also quite fast, and there is a range of 720 kilometers, plus the air suspension, the price of less than 250,000 is still very lethal, which is also currently in the Star Era ES, my most recommended version.
