The Geely Starburst E8 can be seen as Geely’s challenge to the high-end car market. Its unique exterior design and rich high-end configuration are the confidence that Geely dares to take this step. However, for the domestic new energy vehicle market, especially the pure electric vehicle market, this is obviously not enough. After all, competitors all have their own unique skills. So, how will the Geely Starburst E8 respond to the challenge? This issue of “Quality Car” will reveal the answer for you.
The Geely Galaxy E8 officially launched on January 5, 2024. It features a new design language and advanced technological configurations. The car offers two powertrain options, with the rear single-motor version producing a total power of 200kW and the front/rear dual-motor version producing a total power of 475kW.
The SEA pure electric architecture enables the Galaxy E8 to achieve a precise 50:50 front-to-rear axle load ratio, resulting in a more balanced and stable driving performance. With unique digital virtual tuning, the Galaxy E8 achieves a lateral linearity of 92.61%, surpassing the industry average of 81%. Thanks to the excellent suspension and steering design of the SEA architecture, the Galaxy E8 has a maximum steering angle of 41.28° and a minimum turning radius of 5.62 meters, allowing it to maneuver through narrow streets. To reduce passenger motion sickness in pure electric vehicles, the Galaxy E8 utilizes “heart rate matching” technology to synchronize the vertical frequency of undulating road surfaces with the human heartbeat and breathing at nearly 1.25Hz, creating a “human-vehicle synchronization.” Additionally, the standard GCS comfort braking system can suppress 76.3% of brake dive and body pitch, effectively eliminating dizziness during braking in pure electric vehicles. In order to provide users with an immersive interactive experience and intelligent connectivity, the Galaxy E8 has undergone comprehensive iterations in hardware, software, and intelligent connectivity to create a new generation of “Galaxy Boundless Smart Cabin.” Equipped with the world’s first 45-inch 8K Boundless Smart Screen with a screen-to-body ratio of 98% and 8K retina-level resolution, the Galaxy E8, paired with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip and the Galaxy NOS Boundless Edition car system, provides users with a boundless interactive experience and a more immersive cabin experience. Furthermore, Geely has applied AI large model technology to the Galaxy E8, providing users with a revolutionary intelligent experience. “AI Voice” has a rapid response time of 0.23 seconds, supports hands-free wake-up and visible-speech functions, can issue up to 15 commands in a single sentence, and supports simultaneous multi-person conversations throughout the vehicle. Additionally, the Galaxy E8 also offers two-way satellite communication, allowing users to send and receive messages via satellite even without a mobile signal.
