On April 25, 2024, the Beijing Auto Show officially opened. Geely Auto, located in W2 Pavilion, unveiled the Galaxy Technology flagship SUV “Galaxy Starship” powered by AI. The new vehicle features GEA global intelligent new energy architecture, 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, and AI digital chassis. Let’s explore what else Geely Galaxy has to offer besides the Galaxy Starship SUV.
The Galaxy Starship, the first model under the GEA architecture, is the prototype of Geely’s future full-size SUV. It continues Geely’s family design language and insists on original design. With the addition of AI big model, this car has become more intelligent and meets users’ expectations for smart cars.
The car features a flagship SUV standard design, looking very stylish and tech-savvy with its towering front end. Geely insists on original design, so the car also showcases the “rippling light” design, known as a classic.
Of course, the unique feature of this car is not only in the exterior design, but also in the use of GEA global intelligent new energy architecture, which is the world’s first “hardware, system, ecology, AI” integrated AI intelligent architecture, achieving unlimited space design, intelligent energy, overall safety, AI intelligence, driving performance. As the world’s largest new energy bandwidth intelligent architecture, it achieves comprehensive electrification, supporting pure electric, hybrid, extended range, green methanol and other forms of energy. In addition, the GEA 3.0 electronic electrical architecture can enable new energy vehicles to fully access the “AI intelligent ecosystem”, integrating high-end technologies such as “multi-modal AIGC, AI digital chassis, AI intelligent driving”, ushering in a new stage of “comprehensive AI intelligence” for car manufacturing. In the three major components of a car, the chassis plays an important role. In the digital age, Geely’s self-developed AI digital chassis has the cross-domain integration capability of domain control, wire control steering, wheel-side electric drive, intelligent driving, and AI big model technology, possessing the highest-dimensional intelligent driving and active safety capabilities of digital chassis. Especially in terms of handling and safety, it offers a refreshing feeling. At the same time, Geely’s AI digital chassis has a response time of only 4 milliseconds, 25 times faster than the human limit reaction speed, capable of achieving “automatic control and avoidance” under extreme reactions, providing users with “active avoidance, never lose control” safety protection.
Electric drive is equivalent to the engine of the era of gasoline vehicles. Geely has brought a series of technologies such as the Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive, the new generation of Thunder God electric hybrid, silicon carbide hybrid drive integrated technology, and short blade batteries. The new generation of Thunder God electric hybrid achieves the world’s highest thermal efficiency of 46%, with a range of over 2000km on a full tank and full charge, entering the era of 2L feed fuel consumption, ensuring the economy of use. Furthermore, Geely’s Galaxy 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive is currently the lightest, smallest, and most efficient intelligent electric drive system in the industry. Under CLTC conditions, the efficiency reaches an industry-leading 90.04%. With the mastery of silicon carbide hybrid drive integrated technology, while reducing the amount of silicon carbide used by over 75%, higher comprehensive efficiency is also achieved, promoting the widespread adoption of 800V.
In terms of smart interaction, Galaxy AI Digital Elf integrates multimodal AIGC to achieve interaction with text, images, and videos. It can plan the next day’s schedule in advance and proactively push the temperature, weather, navigation route, parking location, etc. The AI Digital Elf is expected to be first installed on the Galaxy E8 through OTA.
During the driving experience, excellent comfort is essential for every consumer. Geely unveiled the Flyme Sound “Boundless Sound” panoramic AI smart speaker at the Shanghai launch event. With 9.1.6 channels, it is the first in the industry to use AI panoramic sound technology. The intelligent algorithm ensures immersive sound effects for music, movies, and navigation, no matter where you are seated.
The car seats injected with AI big models can be adjusted, turned, moved, laid down, forming flexible space combinations, and even driven out of the car automatically. If mass-produced, this will be an unprecedented experience.
In addition to new cars and new technologies, Geely Auto Group CEO An Conghui said at the press conference: “From Galaxy Light to Galaxy Starship, every year in the future, Geely Galaxy will showcase our innovation and achievements in technology with a flagship prototype.” Embracing the AI trend, Geely Galaxy officially opens 1000 seats for “User AI Trainers,” inviting users to train AI together and explore more interesting intelligent travel experiences.
