According to the data released by the Passenger Association, from January to March 2024, Geely Automobile's cumulative retail sales reached 388,680 units, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%. Especially in recent years, with the overall transformation of Geely Automobile in the direction of electrification, a number of high-quality new energy products have been launched, which has become the main driving force for Geely Automobile's sales to maintain rapid growth.
As one of the largest car companies in China, Geely Automobile will naturally not miss the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, a big stage, when a number of its blockbuster products gathered together, and also released a number of advanced technologies. According to the "Automobile Business Review", the Geely Galaxy prototype developed based on the GEA architecture at the Beijing Auto Show, the Galaxy Starship, was also officially unveiled.
The so-called "prototype car", in a more popular way, is "to make a sample of the new car of the future brand". As a result, what we see on the Galaxy Starship today, such as design, technology, and equipment, will be available in the new production cars of the Geely Galaxy series in the future.
First of all, from the design point of view, the Galaxy Starship adopts the more iconic closed shape of the new energy vehicle, the front face is designed like a curved surface, there are no superfluous elements, it looks simple and refreshing, and at the same time, Geely's flat bright silver logo plays a "finishing touch" role on the plain front face, which not only points out the identity, but also beautiful. The headlights are a popular through-type shape, especially the LED daytime running lights are particularly prominent when lit, like a light wave emitted straight ahead.
The body shape of the Galaxy Starship is also extremely simple, and there are no convex design elements on the body shape, which can play a certain role in the optimization of the wind resistance of the whole vehicle, and through the light and shadow on the high-end paint, the Galaxy Starship presents a richer visual effect. On this basis, with the unique closed shape wheels of the Galaxy Starship, it looks more "futuristic sci-fi chariot".
The tail shape of the Galaxy Starship is very layered, with through-style taillights, and a unique texture in the middle of the straight lamp group, like a paint that has been smeared, which makes the original monotonous picture vivid all of a sudden.
As a "prototype car", Galaxy Starship also strives to shock users in terms of technological experience.
As we all know, most of China's auto brands have completed the first half of electrification and officially entered the second half of intelligence. Therefore, it is now time for everyone to start competing to see who has the higher technology content.
In recent years, Geely Automobile has increased its R&D investment in the field of electrification and intelligence, and has developed the GEA architecture, the world's first four-in-one AI intelligent architecture of "hardware, system, ecology and AI". The Galaxy Starship is built on the GEA architecture. At the same time, the total computing power of the Geely Xingrui Intelligent Computing Center created by Geely Automobile has also achieved the first in the country, reaching 10.2 billion times per second, which will provide a solid foundation for the optimization and implementation of Geely Xingrui AI large model in all dimensions of intelligent experience in automotive products.
From technology to practice, this powerful scientific and technological power can make light more intelligent, in addition to displaying information, it can also create smart light curtains and link intelligent voice. In the cabin, various functions extended with the AI large model as the core will also be optimized for a more interactive experience, such as creating AI panoramic sound surround sound, AI digital chassis, and with the upgrading of technology, AI can also be used for simulation tuning training and other scenarios, so that Geely's cars can get more logic adjustments and verification online.
Automotive intelligence does not necessarily only pursue some "high" cool technology, it can also be interesting.
Based on the Xingrui AI large model, Geely Automobile has also created the world's first AI smart seat that can complete steering, translation, and folding according to voice commands, and the interesting thing is that it can also automatically drive out of the car and then drive one kilometer according to the navigation, sometimes the car can't reach the place, let the seat take you there. There is also Flyme Sound, an AI intelligent audio with panoramic sound, which uses the intelligent algorithm of AI panoramic sound to make the sound effect cover the whole cabin, bringing a more immersive vocal experience.
It is worth mentioning that after completing two satellite launches from 2022 to 2024, Geely currently has 20 satellites deployed in two orbits, laying a good foundation for the further development of intelligent vehicles in the future.
At the driving control level, a digital chassis has been created that can achieve multi-domain integration, which not only has a response speed of only 4 milliseconds, but also can realize human driving drift and extreme automatic car control to avoid risks, bringing a more stable driving experience and effectively ensuring driving safety.
In addition, there is a new generation of LEISHEN electric hybrid + silicon carbide hybrid drive integration technology with integrated 46% thermal efficiency engine, Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive with CLTC working efficiency of up to 90.04%, and Aegis short knife battery, etc., which play a comprehensive role in optimizing the energy consumption and endurance performance of the product.
Written at the end: On the stage of this year's Beijing Auto Show, what is more noteworthy than seeing new cars is the technological innovation achieved by Chinese car companies represented by Geely in the field of electrification and intelligence. The reason why China's automobile industry can quickly complete the "beach" in the field of new energy in a short period of time is that every car company and every brand has made large-scale investment and breakthroughs in automotive technology.
