➤ ZEEKR 007 is indeed quite strong, but just over a week after ZEEKR 007 was launched, Geely came up with a pure electric sedan that does not look weak - Galaxy E8. The official guide price is 175,800 yuan to 228,800 yuan, as a large car with a length of more than 5 meters, what do you think of this price?
We also mentioned the Galaxy E8 in the previous test drive article of Extreme Krypton 007, although the front overhang structure of these two cars is different, but they are on the same platform, you can also guess who is the product on this platform, although this question does not seem to be important. The important thing is, what are the differences between these two products that seem to be a little close, and what kind of market segments are they facing?
If 007 is like Lucid, then E8 is like ......
Although the design of China's new energy vehicles seems to be full of flowers, but if you think about it, you will find that there is a bit of a problem, as if you can't live without a little reference to Porsche, you look at those Chinese new energy vehicles that make you feel comfortable, their design is somewhat influenced by Porsche. I'm not talking about Xiaomi SU7, it's more special, it's not a reference anymore, it's actually a kind of "tribute" (there is a dog head here).
I'm just saying like the Galaxy E8, as soon as it comes out, this back, this tail, many peers directly give it the name of "youth version of Panamera", I guess this has achieved the purpose of auspiciousness. But I really don't think it's so similar, although compared to the mid-term facelift BYD Han of Dong Shi Xiaofeng, the E8 is indeed closer, but this "youth version" is still very "youthful", it is at most moved some similar elements, in the eyes of the rutted gentleman, they are still far from each other, after all, one is subtraction, and the other is addition.
Coincidentally, the front face of the Galaxy E8 is also somewhat controversial, when the concept car was unveiled, many people said that it looked like a dark blue 03. The rut gentleman has the same opinion, they are still some of the design elements are relatively similar, and if you really put the two cars together, you will also find that they are not so similar.
But the ingenuity of the matter is ingenious, the party seems to be very willing to be pointed out that the rear of the car is like a Pa, but he is very shy about being pointed out that the front of the car is like blue, haha.
Objectively speaking,Putting aside those arguments about whether they are like or not,I think the overall design of the Galaxy E8 is very good,There is a certain sense of luxury,As a model with a price of about 200,000 yuan,It is probably more beautiful than many old joint venture players、More refined。 I think this is a very encouraging point, our own brand is not only through lower prices to capture the market, in the design of this level of sensibility can also show the right to speak, isn't it more golden?
As for the interior, the Galaxy E8 also comes up with Geely's usual high standards. Although the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the large long screen that comes standard with the whole series, this car is not only a screen to show off. You look at the details around the screen, and there are some unique design elements, you can see that the cabin of the Galaxy E8 is made with care. I would even think that the cabin of the Galaxy E8 is more pleasing than the appearance, not to mention how far ahead of the joint venture models in the same price range in terms of cabin design.
A very different dynamic experience from 007
Obviously,Where you can see it,Galaxy E8 and Extreme Krypton 007The two brothers are packaged into two completely different styles,After all, their own brothers want to avoid fighting in the same room,So the differentiation of this design style,It is completely reasonable and necessary。 However, between this and the models of the technology platform, if it is a lazy manufacturer, it may not do too much differentiation on what they can't see, but Geely is obviously not lazy.
I test-drove the ZEEKR 007 and Galaxy E8 two days next to each other, just like I did when I test-drove the BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra, trying to find the difference between the brother models when I was impressed. In fact, I don't seem to have to test drive the Zeekr 007 and Galaxy E8 on two days apart, because the dynamics between them are really big, much more than the Z4 and Supra.
Let's give a general conclusion first: Extreme Krypton 007 is tighter to open, and Galaxy E8 is more relaxed.
I guess any person who drives these two cars can feel the difference, and they will not even be linked together at all, which is reflected in the following of the body, but although the Galaxy E8 body is longer than the Extreme Krypton 007, the wheelbase of the two is only a millimeter apart, so the difference in handling experience mainly comes from the steering feel and chassis tuning settings.
On the whole, it feels like more people will think that the Extreme Krypton 007 is more advanced at first glance, similar to the sense of isolation that luxury cars can generally give you, but the control experience of the Galaxy E8 is more direct. This seems to be a bit abstract to understand.,007Tight and isolated,E8Loose and sharp,Anyway, it's such a feeling.,You can taste it carefully.,It can also be understood that E8 is a kind of good opening that doesn't have so much sense of luxury.。
By analogy, maybe it's like the kind of difference between the Lexus ES and the Toyota Asia Dragon, but the difference between the Zeekr 007 and the Galaxy E8 is a bit bigger than them, and this difference is not to say which is definitely better or absolutely worse, but mainly a difference in style. Even the Galaxy E8, which doesn't seem to be so premium, has a ride quality that's perfectly satisfying for its price.
Although it was mentioned just that the two cars belong to the same platform, their power equipment is different, the ZEEKR 007 uses a new 310kW motor on the rear axle, and a 165kW motor on the front axle is optional. The Galaxy E8 only has the top performance version with the same new front and rear motors as the 007, and if it is a single motor, there is only one ancestral 200kW on the rear axle.
Of course, although this 200kW motor is an old face, there is no problem with using it, and for the positioning of the Galaxy E8, the power reserve is also completely sufficient, and the time to break 100 is less than 6 seconds. So overall, I think the Galaxy E8 is a car that performs well in all aspects, and it is better to be balanced, and after all, the model is relatively new, and the Galaxy E8 is much more competitive than the same level model of the new energy leading brand that sells well.
By the way, if you want to buy the Galaxy E8, buy the only version with a large battery of less than 200,000.
With precise knife skills, can the well water not interfere with the river water?
We are linking the galaxy E8 and Krypton 007 together,Here we have to raise a key question,Will the two brothers really constitute a competitive relationship?It is not difficult to find,Galaxy E8 Whether it is external or connotative,There are enough differences between 007,Geely obviously tried its best to avoid fighting in the same room。
However, in the world of electric vehicles, sometimes the sense of boundary is not so obvious, such as the price of 300,000 yuan, people who want to buy Lexus ES will definitely not look at the Alfa Romeo Giulia, but people who want to buy Mercedes-Benz EQE may really go to see the Zhijie S7. Therefore, between ZEEKR 007 and Galaxy E8, although the manufacturer has done everything in its power to make them strange, some coin holders will still include them as alternatives.
In my opinion, the competition between Galaxy E8 and Zeekrypton 007 is largely due to the fact that they are listed on the front and back feet, because the species of electric vehicles is updated and iterated quickly, so buying electric vehicles is more important than buying oil cars. Almost at the same time, the Galaxy E8 came to the market, and the price difference is not too big, although the styles are very different, but the difference in the underlying experience is not too big.
So Geely still took some thought to distinguish them.
Judging from the configuration of the Galaxy E8, the main sales model should be a version below 200,000 yuan, two versions of 218,800 yuan and 228,800 yuan, one with more high-end intelligent driving, and one with more dual motors, there is no top configuration in the absolute sense, leaving a foreshadowing.
And the Krypton 007 main sale is 229,900 yuan and above version, although the price of 229,900 yuan you can still only choose between high-end intelligent driving and dual motors, but you have the opportunity to pay more money to choose high-end intelligent driving and dual motors.
Geely's opponents for the brothers are not the same, Galaxy E8 aims at BYD Han, and Zeekrypton 007 is directed at Tesla Model 3, and judging from the sales of the debut, Zeekrypton 007 may be the first model that can really threaten Tesla Model 3 for so long.
I'm going to ask one more digression here: Do people who still buy Teslas really know what they need? I can't figure out how lively Tesla's showroom is.
Therefore, consumers who know what they need, between Galaxy E8 and Zeekrypton 007, are actually very good choices.
Write at the end
In the field of new energy, Geely does not seem to be very strong in the past year or two, but from the Extreme Krypton 007, Galaxy E8, and even the main hybrid Lynk & Co brand launched 08 and the upcoming 07, they quickly enriched the product lineup at a price of around 200,000 and began to make efforts.
Although last year's first brother was very clear, there was indeed a certain amount of suspense this year. What's more, in addition to the sales figures, the average selling price is also very valuable. The price of being able to sell a product to 798 is very good, but being able to sell a car for more than 200,000 yuan is not a kind of value?
