Geely Galaxy E5 officially launched, challenging the compact pure electric SUV market!

On August 3, Geely Galaxy E5 officially entered the market, with two versions of 440km and 530km range and a total of five configuration models, currently the limited-time pre-sale price ranges from 109,800 to 145,800 RMB. The new car is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV, built on the GEA global smart new energy architecture, it is equipped with the latest "blade" shield short knife battery, Galaxy 11-in-1 smart electric drive, Flyme smart cockpit ecosystem and other technologies.

A review of the new car's key information

Currently, the Geely Galaxy brand is divided into the "hybrid" L-series and the "pure electric" E-series, and the Geely Galaxy E5 is the fourth model of the brand that further improves the Geely Galaxy series "hybrid + pure electric", "sedan + SUV" product matrix. According to the official statement, Geely Galaxy E5 is built according to global standards and sold globally, and positioned as the "first pure electric SUV of young family". Let's first review the highlights of this car.

Exterior: Conforms to Global Aesthetic Standards

First of all, in terms of design, considering the global model's shared aesthetics and needs, the car mainly uses minimalist, restrained design methods, to create a universally appealing, yet aesthetically pleasing design. Looking at the actual car, the Geely Galaxy E5 indeed uses a minimalist design technique, but also continues the family features of the Geely Galaxy E series, especially the front face design, such as the tiger's front face, light wave grille, etc.

Whether it looks good or not, we believe that consumers will have their own opinions after seeing it. As a model aimed at young people, it naturally needs to offer a lot of colors. The Galaxy E5 offers a total of eight body colors, including Polar Night Blue, Morning Mist Gray, Evening Cherry Pink, Sky Blue, and Midnight Black. Among them, the Midnight Black model will be delivered in September, and the Polar Night Blue model will not be delivered until November.

By the way, in terms of vehicle size, the Geely Galaxy E5 is 4615/1901/1670mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2750mm, which is slightly larger than the popular Yuan PLUS and AION Y in this class.

Interior: Flyme Auto Intelligent Cabin

For the interior, the Galaxy E5 continues this simple design, coupled with a large area of soft material coverage, the grade and technology feeling created in the cabin are fairly outstanding among pure-electric SUVs at the same price. In terms of color matching, the new car offers three interior colors: Cloud White, Neon Rainbow, and Dusk Blue.

One of the highlights of the Geely Galaxy E5 car cabin is the Galaxy Flyme Auto intelligent cabin. The first is the chip. The new car uses the automotive-grade 7nm chip "Dragon Hawk No.1". The overall performance is comparable to Qualcomm 8155, and the AI ​​performance is twice that of Qualcomm 8155, which allows the car to have faster response speed and clearer video experience.

The Flyme Auto in-car system, both the UI design and the operation logic are very good, this point has been experienced in other models. The 15.4-inch central control screen, 10.2-inch full LCD meter, 13.8-inch super large format HUD of Geely Galaxy E5 can achieve "four screens linkage" with mobile phones, further enhancing the interaction experience. In addition, in terms of intelligent voice, there are further experiences, such as faster response, fuzzy instructions, multi-intention parallel instructions, multiple rounds of dialogue, etc., in short, it is more anthropomorphic and better to use.

In terms of configuration, the high-end model is full, such as the three-stage heating ventilation for both the main and co-drivers, 8-point massage configuration, and the marshmallow series seat uses a 6-layer design. Combined with the 16-speaker Flyme Sound sound system and the pillow speaker with a 1000W independent power amplifier, the driving and riding experience is further enhanced.

Space: Small thoughtful design is very pleasing

As a family car, users are very concerned about the performance of seating space and loading space. The Geely Galaxy E5 is built on a pure electric platform, the use of space is quite high. The four wheels and four corners layout allows the interior to have ample seating space and the trunk space is wide enough. When the rear seats are folded down, it can reach 1877L. Here mainly talk about some small and thoughtful space designs considered by family cars.

For example, the hidden tunnel storage compartment in the central control area can hold frequently used medium and large items such as handheld bags, cosmetic boxes, flat shoes, tissues, etc.; the pull-out storage box under the rear seat has a volume of 14L, which can be used as the exclusive storage for rear passengers, such as wet umbrellas on rainy days, or children's miscellaneous items. Then there is the storage expansion of the recessed floor of the trunk, which reached 51L.

Power and Endurance: 6.9 seconds to break 100/440km and 530km two kinds of endurance

For the power part, Geely Galaxy E5 adopts 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, with a high degree of integration brings a smaller size, lighter weight, and higher efficiency. The maximum power of the motor is 160kW, and the peak torque is 320N·m. The official 0-100 acceleration time is 6.9 seconds, which is in the first echelon in its class.

From the chassis aspect, it adopts the suspension form of McPherson in the front and multiple links in the back, which has a good mechanical quality. According to the feedback from colleagues who test the car, the comfort performance of this car is quite good.

In terms of endurance, Geely Galaxy E5 offers two endurance versions of 440km and 530km. The lowest power consumption per hundred kilometers can be achieved to 11.9kWh (530KM version is 12.1kWh). It's worth mentioning that Galaxy E5 is also equipped with the latest generation of "blade-type" shield short knife battery, which performs well in terms of safety, cycle life, fast charging ability, and low-temperature discharge.

Editor Reviews:

As a newcomer to the compact pure electric SUVs, Geely Galaxy E5 shows strong strength in design, space performance, control performance, and three-electric technology (i.e. GEA platform, shield short knife battery, 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive), and focuses on the "first pure electric SUV for young families". It also has some differentiation in its positioning. The launch price is also quite sincere, it directly confronts the price range of the sales benchmark BYD YUAN PLUS.

GEA Global Intelligent New Energy Structure

As we all know, Geely Galaxy has four world-class modular architectures: SEA, SPA, CMA, and e-CMA. The GEA architecture is a new electric vehicle architecture launched by Geely. After 5 years of research and development, it has spent billions to build. What are the characteristics of this architecture? The following is a simple summary based on official information:

1. There are no limits on space design, intelligent energy, all-domain safety, AI intelligence, and driving performance, which means that this architecture can have stronger scalability. This includes not only the size and type of the car, but also energy, AI intelligence and other aspects.

2. This architecture has a large energy bandwidth. It coves various smart energies such as "pure electric, plug-in hybrid, range extension, alcohol electric", and can fully integrate pure electric CTB technology, Thor hybrid electric, super range extension electric and green methanol technology.

3. It adopts the GEEA 3.0 electronic and electrical architecture, which allows new energy vehicles to fully access the "AI intelligent ecosystem" and integrate "multi-modal AIGC, AI digital chassis, AI intelligent driving" and other advanced technologies.
