Nowadays, both traditional and new car companies are sparing no effort to launch new energy products into the consumer market, in anticipation of being recognized by the consumer market.
However, after years of market precipitation, consumers' consumption decisions have become more and more rational, and at the same time, higher requirements have been put forward for products. In the plug-in hybrid market, the Geely Galaxy L7 is a high-standard model. So, what kind of technical strength does it have, and what advantages does it have to become the darling of the consumer market?
The price volume is safe, and the volume is also required
Previously, before the Geely Galaxy L7 was launched, the mainstream media in the market generally believed that it would hit the 200,000-300,000 yuan market and challenge the old Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Shuangqing E+ in view of its overall comprehensive strength performance. Unexpectedly, the final guide price of Geely Galaxy L7 when it was listed was 138,700 yuan-173,700 yuan, which really brought a lot of surprises.
At present, the price range of the Geely Galaxy L7 Longteng Edition on sale is only 125,700 yuan-169,700 yuan, which has successfully entered the price of 130,000 yuan, making the price of the hybrid market roll up again.
However, the criterion for measuring the success of a car is not only the price, but also whether the product quality can meet the needs of the consumer market.
In order to test the product strength of the Geely Galaxy L7, a scientific, rigorous and objective official test should be the most convincing. To this end, Geely Automobile has carried out a comprehensive dismantling of the Geely Galaxy L7 at the New Energy Vehicle Inspection Center of the China Automotive Center, and Geely has obtained the industry's first "New Energy Vehicle Safety Management System Certification" certificate. In addition, on December 5 last year, the Galaxy L7 became the first electric hybrid SUV to receive the five-star certification of China Automotive Research Institute C-NCAP, once again proving its high value and high quality.
The test results show that the Geely Galaxy L7 has a comprehensive score of 90.0% (the industry average score is 80.9%), of which the occupant protection score is 92.71% (the industry average score is 83.14%), the pedestrian protection score is 80.00% (the industry average score is 71.81%), and the active safety score is 89.58% (the industry average score is 80.86%).
Up to now, 15 models of Geely Automobile have passed the C-NCAP five-star certification of the China Automotive Research Institute, and continue to provide high-quality models for the consumer market. A series of achievements are inseparable from Geely Automobile's unremitting pursuit of product quality. Moreover, it is not difficult for us to see that Geely Automobile is by no means just talking about safety, but actually doing it and showing the most real test results in front of consumers.
The secret behind five-star security
As we all know, Continental has been the world's largest new car market for 14 consecutive years, but at the same time, with the rapid development of various electrification and digital technologies, the comprehensive product capabilities of vehicles, especially the vehicle safety performance, continue to attract the attention of the consumer market.
Because of this, whoever can fundamentally solve the battery safety problem of new energy vehicles will be likely to transform more potential swing users of new energy and become a leader in further improving the penetration rate of new energy.
For a new energy vehicle, the power battery plays a decisive role in the safety of the whole vehicle. In this regard, the Galaxy L7's Aegis battery safety system has refreshed a number of industry standards, with more test dimensions and greater strength than the national standard, whether it is the basic safety of the battery pack or the battery packaging structure, it has incomparable advantages of the same level of models.
It is worth mentioning that the Aegis battery safety system is Geely's original and Geely Galaxy's exclusive battery safety technology. A series of previous tests have verified that its battery safety standards far exceed the national standard, and the severity of the test is regarded as the most "ruthless" in the industry, and the power battery safety standards have been repeatedly refreshed.
For example, the national standard "GB38031-2020 Safety Requirements for Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles" stipulates battery safety standards in terms of longitudinal/transverse extrusion, vibration, mechanical shock, simulated collision, thermal diffusion, etc., while Geely's test standards are higher than the national standards. The Aegis battery safety system has carried out more than 100 basic tests at the battery pack level based on the extreme working conditions of all scenarios, which is 80 more than the national standard. Among them, six items of simulated collision, mechanical impact, water immersion safety, damp heat cycle, salt spray and thermal diffusion are higher than the national standards, and four items of bottom ball hit, drop, IP6X and IPX9K are Geely's supplementary standards.
Of course, the most effective way to verify the safety of a car battery as we know it today is through various needle prick and blister tests. On May 13 last year, Aegis Battery successfully passed the basic safety test of the battery of the China Automotive Center, and broadcast the test process live on the whole network: in the battery acupuncture test recognized as the most difficult and severe in the industry, the Aegis battery did not catch fire, exploded, or smoke, and the maximum temperature of the whole test did not exceed 40 °C, and successfully passed the test;
In fact, the unique frame structure of the Geely Galaxy L7 can protect the battery pack well. Its front subframe increases the battery anti-scratch beam, which is 10mm lower than the battery pack, which can shield the damage to the battery pack when the vast majority of the chassis scrapes the bottom and supports the bottom, decomposes the collision energy to the greatest extent, and reduces the amount of intrusion after the battery is squeezed. The integrated thermoforming door ring + side bumper has four force transmission paths, and the unique super-elastic honeycomb filling technology provides a more stable deformation absorption of collision energy to protect the battery pack and members, and the weight is reduced by 40% compared with the traditional solution.
In addition, the Geely Galaxy L7 also adopts the active battery hazard isolation technology, which can realize the high-voltage power failure of the whole vehicle within 65ms after the collision, avoiding the risk of high-voltage leakage and fire; the adaptive cell balance control technology of the whole life cycle can eliminate the consistency deviation of the battery cell, improve safety and extend the battery life; intelligent identification of the charging and discharging environment, intelligent matching of charging piles, can achieve efficient and high safety of charging and discharging control.
Of course, in addition to the battery, there is also an inseparable relationship between high safety and body safety. Inheriting Geely's car-making safety genes, the Galaxy L7 has a class-leading 7 series aluminum alloy anti-collision beam and a unique one-piece hot-formed boron steel door ring in the same class, which further strengthens the closed "cage" frame structure of the body, which is comparable to a race-style roll cage, bringing a significant increase in the torsional rigidity and compressive strength of the whole vehicle.
In addition to the safety of the battery and body structure, the safety of the Galaxy L7 is also inseparable from the rich and effective intelligent safety configuration. As the only car company in the world to implement the layout of "space-ground integration", Geely's low-orbit satellites and Xingrui Intelligent Computing Center can empower the Galaxy L7 at the level of big data and cloud computing power, focusing on core functions such as battery fault analysis and early warning, battery life prediction, and thermal runaway prediction, and develop new energy monitoring platform cloud three-electric monitoring products, real-time perception of the safety status of new energy vehicles, so as to achieve pre-warning and in-process alarm, prevent problems before they occur, and give users more accurate and timely active safety protection in all scenarios and all times.
Of course, safety features such as FCW front collision warning and AEB automatic emergency braking are also directly full, so there is no doubt about the safety of the Galaxy L7.
summary
As the first electric hybrid SUV to pass the C-NCAP "five-star certification", the Galaxy L7 puts safety in the first place from R&D to design, and builds a comprehensive body safety system from the fields of body structure, battery safety, and intelligent safety, bringing users the safety performance comparable to that of luxury new energy SUVs and solving users' consumption pain points. For those consumers who are concerned about car safety, with the authoritative endorsement of C-NCAP, the Galaxy L7 is undoubtedly more worthy of purchase. 【iDailycar】
