Since the beginning of the year, Geely and Xiaomi have been fighting hotly, and it is rumored on the Internet that it is because Xiaomi has poached Geely's core technical personnel, so before Xiaomi SU7 goes on the market, ZEEKR 007 and ZEEKR 001 have already formed a trend of encirclement and suppression of Xiaomi SU7.
However, it can't stand the huge traffic and influence of Xiaomi cars and Lei, and it is reported that the current Xiaomi SU7 lock rate has reached 60,000, which is quite amazing.
No, now the Galaxy E8 is making trouble again. Recently, Geely Galaxy E8 on the new two new Longteng version models, respectively, using 400V, 800V architecture, price: 165,800 yuan, 215,800 yuan, the latter is only 100 yuan less than the Xiaomi SU7 standard version, this is definitely not for Xiaomi SU7?
[Price reduction, configuration online]
The Galaxy E8 Dragon Edition has added three new car colors: Xizi Blue, Smoke Gray and Daybreak Black, which makes the vision more stylish.
The interior of the car is equipped with an exaggerated 45-inch large screen, with a length of 1.157 meters and a resolution of up to 8K. It supports Flyme Link handcar interconnection, and supports Geely Xingrui AI large model, and the whole system is equipped with 8295 chips.
In terms of power, the Geely Galaxy E8 550km two-wheel drive Longteng version rear motor has a maximum power of 200kW and a maximum torque of 343Nm, equipped with a 62kWh battery pack, and has a CLTC pure electric range of 550km.
The 620km 800V four-wheel drive Longteng version is currently the only model in the 210,000-level equipped with a full-stack 800V ultra-high voltage platform and electric four-wheel drive. The system power reaches 475kW, the maximum torque is 710Nm, the 000 acceleration is only 3.49s, the top speed is up to 210km/h, and it also has a minimum turning radius of 5.62m, and the elk test speed is also as high as 82km/h. In the future, the Galaxy E8 will also push the drift mode via OTA. In addition, with the support of 800V ultra-fast flash charging, it can replenish 180km in 5 minutes, and it only takes 18 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%.
The starting price of the two Longteng versions launched this time has been further reduced, and the configuration has also been adjusted.
Among them, the 620km 800V four-wheel drive Longteng version, compared with the previous top configuration, that is, the 620km four-wheel drive starship performance version, the price has been reduced by 13,000 yuan, the configuration has removed the front seat massage, the electric adjustment of the passenger seat has been reduced from 6 to 4 directions, and the tire size has also been adjusted from 20 inches to 19 inches.
550km 400V two-wheel drive Longteng version, compared with the previous entry version, that is, 550km rear-wheel drive PRO version, the price has been reduced by 10,000 yuan, the number of cameras has been adjusted from 4 to 1, no longer supports 360 panoramic image + transparent chassis, only supports reversing image, and is no longer equipped with an active closed grille.
On the whole, in fact, the problem is not big, and the price reduction is still very sincere.
【Medium and large coupe controversy】
Since the Galaxy E8 was launched, its sales have not been outstanding, with an average of about 2,000 units per month.
There are many reasons, such as within Geely, the pricing of Galaxy E8 coincides with Zeekrypton 007, considering the brand positioning of Zeekr, more people will be willing to choose the latter.
From the perspective of models of the same level, Galaxy E8, as a latecomer, cannot compare with the influence established by BYD Han, and there is no way to achieve the price of Nezha S and Leap C01.
In addition, in terms of very important batteries, some models of Galaxy E8 have chosen Sunwoda's lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have also been questioned by the market. It can't be said that Sunwoda is bad, but just like in the oil car, everyone agrees that the AT gearbox is better than the dual-clutch, and everyone recognizes the CATL era more.
In addition, after Geely acquired Meizu, the experience of car-machine interaction has been upgraded, but it lost in marketing, and did not give full play to its advantages in the face of competitors such as Huawei and Xiaomi.
Geely is the first car company to publicly scold Xiaomi Automobile, but this series of operations from Extreme Krypton to Galaxy has lost in both emotion and reason, in marketing, and in the pattern. Therefore, even if the 620km 800V four-wheel drive Longteng version of the Galaxy E 8 is currently the only model equipped with a full-stack 800V ultra-high voltage platform and electric four-wheel drive in the 210,000-level level, and the Xiaomi SU7 standard version priced at 215,900 yuan is only 400V, I believe more people will still choose the latter, what do you think?
