On November 17, 2023, the Guangzhou Auto Show opened, and Geely brought its third E8 model. The new car is positioned as a B-class pure electric vehicle, based on the SEA Haohan architecture.
In terms of appearance, the Geely Galaxy E8 has a simple front face design, incorporating modern technological elements, and using the world’s first mass-produced integrated luminous front face. The front face is composed of 158 luminous windows, with a luminous area of 0.105 square meters, applying patented technology for micro-hole laser engraving luminous effects, capable of presenting a variety of luminous effects such as welcoming guests, flowing water from left to right, jumping water, and music shows. Full of ceremonial and high-end feelings.
In addition, the E8 is equipped with AGS active intake grille, which is a weapon to reduce wind resistance. It will automatically control the opening and closing degree of the front intake grille, intelligently adjust the air intake volume, and can reduce the overall internal circulation resistance during driving. With this configuration alone, it can reduce wind resistance by 16 counts, increasing the range by about 14 kilometers. The body size of the E8 is 5010/1920/1465mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2925mm, making it the only pure electric B-class sedan with a length of over 5 meters. The side view has sharp lines and excellent light and shadow levels. Low center of gravity, sleek styling, hidden door handles, and frameless doors give it a sporty feel.
The rear of the car has a strong sense of layering, and the popular integrated taillights incorporate all the rear light configuration functions. This includes the width lamp, brake light, turn signal, reverse light, and rear fog light functions. The interior is composed of 390 LED beads, which are dynamic and can achieve dynamic welcome and farewell effects with high recognition.
In terms of interior design, the overall design adopts a minimalist style, yet exudes a sense of technology. The 45-inch large screen + 8295 chip is the highlight. A super-wide integrated screen is not uncommon, but achieving extreme thinness is rare. This large screen truly leads the industry in terms of “super wide,” “super thin,” and screen-to-body ratio. The size reaches 1157×159mm, with an effective display area size of 1130×138mm and a screen-to-body ratio of 98%. In terms of picture quality, the display is clear, natural, and reduces the projection of people on the screen. The car’s infotainment system is also brand new, and is equipped with the new generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 flagship cockpit chip, using 5nm technology. The AI computing power reaches 30TOPS, which is twice the overall performance of the 8155GPU, and three times the 3D rendering performance. At the same time, the voice interaction response is faster and more accurate, and supports voice control outside the car.
In terms of configuration, the Geely Galaxy E8 will be equipped with electric suction doors, 256-color ambient lighting, a 25.6-inch AR-HUD, INFINITY 12-channel sound system, 50W wireless phone charging, FACE ID facial recognition, and a car fragrance system. At the same time, the configuration of the solid-state laser radar was announced, realizing the second-generation intelligent MEMS solid-state laser radar for mass production and delivery. The laser radar protrudes only 55mm in height, with a beautiful appearance and low wind resistance coefficient. With a 120° x 25° ultra-wide field of view, it can refresh real-time road conditions at a frame rate of 10Hz. Rewrite in TSN style: Geely Galaxy E8 is set to come with a range of luxurious features, including electric suction doors, 256-color ambient lighting, a 25.6-inch AR-HUD, INFINITY 12-channel sound system, 50W wireless phone charging, FACE ID facial recognition, and a car fragrance system. Additionally, the vehicle will feature the second-generation intelligent MEMS solid-state laser radar, with a sleek design and a low wind resistance coefficient. With a 120° x 25° ultra-wide field of view, it can refresh real-time road conditions at a frame rate of 10Hz.
In terms of power, the Galaxy E8 uses high-performance SiC electric drive, with a power of 200kW and a torque of 343Nm for the two-wheel drive motor; and a power of 475kW and a torque of 710Nm for the four-wheel drive motor. The Geely Galaxy E8’s rear-wheel drive 0-100km/h acceleration of 5.95s leads the same level, with a top speed of 190km/h, while the four-wheel drive 0-100km/h acceleration of 3.49s is the fastest in its class, with a top speed of 210km/h. The new generation of silicon carbide electronic control technology increases the range by 5-10% compared to the previous generation. For consumers who are looking to purchase an electric car, the Geely Galaxy E8 will be a good choice. Its design is eye-catching, with powerful and strong power, impressive range, and attractive configuration. If the price is affordable, the market will definitely be significant. Let’s look forward to its performance together.
